3D design of chemical equipment
Thread Content
Do you know which domestic engineering company uses 3D design for the creation of drawings for chemical equipment? What software is being used?
Chemical processing equipment is that simple; there’s no need to use 3D modeling for it. I’m afraid there’s no such thing as 3D rendering available in the country. It’s very simple; I can create 3D drawings. Common 3D software includes Creo 2.0, UG, and SolidWorks
For more complex cases, a 3D diagram can be considered; or when there is a need for a 3D design of the entire factory and 3D models are required, 3D modeling can be employed.
Many large domestic design institutes are considering 3D design; producing drawings is just one aspect of it, and the overall trend is toward digital delivery； Specialties such as LPEC equipment use a 3D design software based on SVPV, which enables 3D modeling and allows engineering drawings to be generated with just one click. Although the appearance of the drawings differs from that of conventional drawings due to the use of realistic projections, it still indicates that the orientation is recognized as correct.
Chemical processing equipment is generally quite simple – is it still necessary to use 3D modeling?
A 2D representation of the device itself is sufficient. More complex internal components can indeed be produced in 3D.
Chemical processing equipment often features thin-walled structures, and drawing them at actual scale can lead to problems
The depth of the output image and the way it is presented are key
Many, I think. All the design institutes we work with have this feature
PDMS can be considered for use in entire factories, or relatively independent engineering modules or units; its application based solely on the scale of 3D device diagrams is less common
