PlantBuilder - Rapid Conceptual Plant Models

Rapid Modeling

PlantBuilder allows designers to quickly layout equipment, piperacks, and structures during the early phases of a project. Start your plant concept modeling without a P&ID. You need only minimum input to create a realistic model to which you can add incrementally as more information is available. With PlantBuilder, you can create your concept model faster than the competition to win new clients!

Automatic Reports

Detailed Steel Take Off lists (MTOs) and other data are generated automatically by PlantBuilder. This saves critical time and enables rapid "what-if" analysis of multiple design alternatives.

Intricate User-Defined Equipment

PlantBuilder includes EquipmentBuilder which allows designers to create their own parameterized equipment models and rules for automatically placing nozzles. You can easily define proprietary custom equipment shapes using the easy-to-use equipment language. Once you have defined a custom piece of equipment, it can be used in any project.

Tight Integration

PlantBuilder and Autorouter are tightly integrated companion products. PlantBuilder is available as a separate product, into which AutoRouter integrates seamlessly.

3D Plant Concept Reviews

View and render your plant models in 3D with standard CAD systems.

Plant Walkthrough

PlantBuilder's integrates with standard 3D walkthrough packages. This functionality enables stunning 3D virtual walkthroughs of your plant designs.

Ease-of-Use

PlantBuilder transparently controls the CAD system. Therefore, in-depth experience with the CAD system is not required.

Knowledge-based

PlantBuilder is the only knowledge-based plant design tool that utilizes a powerful knowledge engine to enable rapid plant layout and design. Geometric and other design rules ensure consistent high quality designs completed in a fraction of the time required by other tools.
