3-D modeling software for fired heaters
3-D modeling software for fired heaters
(OP)
Hello,
Our firm is trying to find a 3-D modeling software that best suites our requirement to make a 3-D model of fired heaters including the
structural members,
stiffeners,
shell plate
convection & radiant coils etc.
Platforms
refractory
We are trying to find a software to model the entire heater with all the details including structual steel + coils + refractory.
Let me know if there are any recommended softwares.
Thanks

That's a better determinant to use for selecting a tool. Most any modern drawing package can make some kind of 3D model. All of them are really just collections of numbers, that are then used to do other things, like:
- generate physical models, say via rapid prototyping
- generate 2D drawings for fabrication
- insert into someone else's 3D model, of say a site or an assembly
- conduct flow simulations within the modeled cavity
- conduct thermal simulations of the assembly
- more
Each available tool produces models best suited for one of those subsequent operations, and less well suited for others.
