Leverage P&ID Data to 3D model
Leverage P&ID Data to 3D model
(OP)
I'm starting to have to convert more and more 2D P&IDs to 3D layouts lately, and I'd like to streamline the process. Does anyone here have any suggestions? We're currently using Visio and SolidWorks, and they don't play nicely with each other.





RE: Leverage P&ID Data to 3D model
Let me try to understand your question.
You want to feed a 2D P&ID data file in one side of a 3D (PDS or other) system and have it automatically output a physical model of a complex process plant.
Is that correct? Is that what you really want?

Are you a piper or a process man?
I think there is no way to convert these two different things.

In the ideal situation when the properties are being assigned to the vessels in the P&ID software maybe a file name gets referenced in the CAD design library. Then when the 2D file interfaces with the 3D modeler it would be able to autopopulate an assembly with accurate models of the vessels maybe even with pipe or connection specifications. As I said above, I am happy to organize the assembly and run lines. I just can't help thinking there's a more intelligent way to go about this.
There are pieces of software out there that do this in some manner, I'm just trying to see if anyone here is familiar with them.

It runs under Autocad.
You can download fitting dwg files from the internet
and model the equipment yourself.
