Most productive and easy-to-learn plant design software: Rapid creation of 3D plant models is made easy using MicroStation V8i commands, already familiar to many users.
Integrated Design Supporting Multiple Disciplines
Plants are more than pipes. OpenPlant Modeler not only provides advanced piping design. Equipment, cable trays, supports and HVAC components are integrated with the piping design into a single, integrated project model.
Easy reuse of corporate standards: Existing plant designs, models, and associated data, as well as catalogs and specifications from PDS, AutoPLANT, and PlantSpace, can be easily reused, enabling faster project startup and continuity of design.
Easy access to industry standards: ISO 15926 for process plants, AWWA standard fittings for water and waste water management, EN/DIN European standard, and more.
Open, no proprietary lock-in: Existing PDS designs can be reviewed and augmented and used to produce iRING models, avoiding proprietary lock-in.
Breakthrough value: With Bentley’s Designer for Piping Passport Subscription (OpenPlant), individual piping designers gain access to OpenPlant functionality and virtual training for the single annual fee that is typically less than the Unix-era maintenance fees of other vendors’ proprietary piping design systems.
