Problems with 3D design software
Thread Content
I would like to ask which forum member knows which 3D design software is good for chemical pipeline design?
First level: PDS, PDMS. Second level: AUTOPLANT, CADWOKX. Third level: Domestic 3D software such as PDSOFT. Specific explanation: PDS and PDMS have been thoroughly considered; they have been tested by numerous design firms and are quite useful. Relatively speaking, PDS is more rigorous, but rigidity also means it can be inflexible, with some commands being rather fixed； PDMS is more flexible, but precisely because of this flexibility, it doesn’t appear as rigorous as PDS. As for software at the second level, there isn’t much in terms of 3D software; the overall design of such software is not as good as that of software at the first level. Companies like AVEVA and EagleCAD offer a range of design software ； As for domestic projects, the level of rigor is insufficient, and some of the design concepts considered seem suitable for domestic design teams; however, they are not appropriate for foreign design concepts when working on projects abroad. But it’s the same; the prices are arranged in this order as well, hehe
I’ve only used the second level: AUTOPLANT; it seemed average, while the others are only well-known
PDS is the top choice; it is a widely used 3D design software internationally that enables integrated design across multiple disciplines.
PDS pirated versions are hard to come by
