Perform Multidiscipline 3D Modeling
Quickly and easily create 3D plant models with parametric equipment modeling, specification-driven piping, HVAC, electrical cable trays, and structural steel libraries, in an open, intuitive, and collaborative environment.
What is OpenPlant Modeler?
OpenPlant Modeler enables you to quickly and easily perform 3D designs of your plant piping, HVAC, and mechanical and electrical equipment in an open and collaborative digital twin environment by leveraging Bentley’s iTwin framework.
You can perform collaborative plant engineering. Interoperability ensures plant design data and construction deliverables are available anytime for your project team members to quickly find, share, and use. The collaborative environment allows users to check out model components, make updates, and check them in.

Frequently Asked Questions
OpenPlant Modeler is a 3D plant design and modeling software that enables you to accurately and rapidly perform 3D plant designs of any size. Using OpenPlant Modeler, your project team can work remotely on the go or in a connected environment via ISO 15926 or iModels. OpenPlant Modeler supports many data types such as DGN, DWG, JT, point clouds, and PDFs so that your design and review process remains flexible.
If you want to receive tailored training or attend an OpenPlant Modeler course, our eStore offers extra training and mentoring services. You can choose from tailor-made training, on-demand learning, consulting services, mentoring and more. Access all the learning you need here.
The price of OpenPlant Modeler varies per region. While there are various types of licensing available, a common choice is the 12-month practitioner license offered through Bentley’s eStore. When you purchase through the eStore, you get a Virtuoso Subscription which means you get both the software AND the training, expert services, and custom mentoring you need to get started quickly.
Processor
Intel or AMD processor 1.0 GHz or greater. OpenPlant PID is not supported on a CPU that does not support SSE2.
Operating System
Windows 11 & 10, Windows Server 2012/2008
Software Prerequisites
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications core, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications localized. Microsoft Internet Explorer, minimum v11.0, with 128-bit cipher strength. Microsoft no longer supports any versions prior to v11.0. Internet Explorer is not installed as part of the product pre-requisites.
Memory
4 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended
Disk Space
12 GB minimum, 12-22 GB depending additional installations such as Companion Feature and Companion Product.
Graphics Card
See the graphics card manufacturer for latest information on DirectX drivers. 512 MB of video RAM or higher is recommended. If insufficient video RAM or no graphics card supported by DirectX can be found, OpenPlant PID attempts to use software emulation. For optimal performance, graphics display color depth should be set to 24-bit or higher. When using a color depth setting of 16-bit, some inconsistencies will be noted.
