WHAT IS PLANT DESIGN WORKSUITE?
Plant Design WorkSuite is a collection of plant design software solutions that helps to deliver mechanical, process, electrical and structural engineers and designers the tools to design virtually any process plant project. Whether designing power plants, water treatment facilities, industrial facilities, creating detailed support assemblies or drawing schematics for new concept, Plant Design WorkSuite has tools to go from concept, to detail, to deliverables, to visualization, to digital delivery. Plant Design WorkSuite allows firms to grow in services without the worry of costly new software.
- OpenPlant Modeler
-
OpenPlant Modeler
Included in Plant Design WorkSuite, 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 iTwin technology. OpenPlant Modeler supports many data types such as DGN, DWG, JT, point clouds, and PDFs so that your design and review process remains flexible.
- OpenPlant PID
-
OpenPlant PID
Included in lant Design WorkSuite, OpenPlant PID allows you to generate P&IDs with components verified against valid piping specifications. Computational drafting routines are used to speed drawing generation. Task-based navigation and other advanced user interface features make the system easy to learn and use.
- OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
-
OpenPlant Isometrics Manager
Included in Plant Design WorkSuite, OpenPlant Isometrics Manager allows isometrics to be independently produced by document control or other supporting project personnel, freeing piping designers to focus on design activities. By managing isometric production through project-based rules, the software provides users with a way to easily generate isometrics from inside OpenPlant Modeler, OpenPlant based iModel, directly from connected iTwin project or other sources using a simplified interface, without the need for a complex design application. It also enables project teams to output in either DGN or RealDWG formats.
- Bentley Raceway and Cable Management
-
Bentley Raceway and Cable Management
Included in Plant Design WorkSuite, Bentley Raceway and Cable Management allow designing complex raceway and cable systems in integrated environment and includes wide range of design and documentation tasks typically involved. Bentley Raceway and Cable Management provide the complete layout, routing, and material estimating functions in a single, integrated system. It creates the framework for an effective workflow spanning all phases of the design, from initial concept to detailed layout and construction. Fast track your next project with automated workflows for conceptual and detailed design phases.
