“The most common plant design and engineering projects today are retrofits, upgrades, and expansions that run on tight budgets and fixed shutdown windows. “The value of 3D modeling is proven in the process plant industry, but existing design solutions are complex and expensive, serving primarily the largest projects,” said Mark Strassman, vice president, AEC Plant Solutions Group at Autodesk, Inc. AutoCAD Plant 3D is tailor-made to increase the productivity of these teams by reducing setup time, facilitating straightforward information sharing, and minimising the impact of changing project information. These projects are typically executed by small teams facing tight time and budget constraints. The vast majority of plant design and engineering projects support the operation, maintenance and expansion of existing facilities. Built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Plant 3D allows project teams to increase productivity, and improve accuracy and coordination of shared information.
