[CATIA] Plant Layout Engineer

 

Ramp up projects quickly by combining Mechanical, Piping, HVAC & Structure discipline-specific experiences in a unique multidiscipline 3D environment

Companies often realize that their Basic Design process is not efficient and  takes an incredible amount of manual iterations to reach a design for which they are not even sure is optimal

The 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Plant Layout Engineer role  provides a unique platform that has been built to answer to these challenges by Leveraging the data centric modeling paradigm to maximize project communication, through real-time concurrent design, based on a unique integrated multidiscipline platform.

Thanks to tight 2D-3D integration, The 3DEXPERIENCE platform eliminates many of the limitations and constraints imposed by traditional Fluidic systems design tools which compromise the overall product design process and limit global collaboration and review.

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Plant Layout Engineer capabilities allow to leverage the data centric 3D modeling to maximize project communication, design efficiency and Product Quality

  • Project Communication base on 3D approach leaving space for quick start 3D design allowing early study of what if scenario

  • Design Efficiency by providing Smart and power full user interface combined with the Automated detailing design technologies.

  • Product Quality : by respecting engineering specification and topology, and by providing data consistency checks between Schematic and 3D Design at any stage of the design process

The 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA allows to first, analyze terrain topology and define excavation shapes and volumes .

Then consolidate the  Plant engineering 3D data with geographic and topology constrain by creating  Zone breakdown structures, and allocate 3D spaces for the different Plant Units, Main equipments and critical systems, in respect of process, access and safety rules

Second, Manage Equipment maturity & definition and arrange them in 3D ;  integrate very quickly a modification at any stage of the process with a lower cost.

Then route 3D systems to connect equipment in respect of the Schematic definition and taking into account location constrains and engineering specifications.

Use Accurate and flexible 3D system routing functions to design and modify complex pipe & duct lines precisely, with the needed level of details in a scalable approach.

Third ,define main Steel structure and pipe rack plus secondary structures for human access and maintenance.

Steel Frame Structure Application will enable a productive full parametric design , with various construction elements and full integration with simulation tools. It will allow to perform early estimation of preliminary design and later to reuse it to generate  quickly detailing design automatically

Capture your company knowledge and engineering expertise to drive 3D design with customizable rules & templates that enable objects to interact in an intelligent and automated manner. Users will place them quickly in context of the 3D environment and adjust template entries accordingly. This will leave more time to the designer for new ideas of iterations  rather than repetitive task

Use design consistency analysis and 3D clash to monitor and maintain data quality at  any stage of the design process  to ensure that data from different sources are consolidated and respect project constrains

 

In addition, business Rules can be used to automate quality and consistency checks across the different facets of your components . Also generate all necessary drawings and reports from the 3D design to provide to other departments, customers  or subcontractors.

 

To Summarize, 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Plant Layout Engineer role  supports the early development phases of complex Plant projects on a unique platform allowing shareholders to take quickly the best and adequate decisions to minimize risk and increase profitability
