Key Benefits

Integrated Plant Design from P&ID to Production

Linked Workflow Integrity

Automatically connect your 2D P&ID schematics directly to your 3D SOLIDWORKS model via the P&ID To-Do-List, ensuring no lines, components, or specifications are missed.

Automated 3D Piping

Quickly route complex 3D piping systems based on predefined and compliant pipe specifications (pipe specs), significantly reducing manual placement time and errors.

Automatic ISO Drawings

Generate technical, production-ready isometric drawings with complete Bill of Materials (BOM) and cutting lists, powered by industry-standard ISOGEN® technology.

Integrated Steelwork Design

Easily incorporate structural steelwork, including stairs, platforms, and handrails, directly into the 3D plant layout for complete clash-free design.

Reduced Design Errors

The intelligent, linked process chain virtually eliminates inconsistencies between 2D schematics, the 3D model, and manufacturing documents.

Simulation for Manufacturing

Tools are included to simulate tube bending, ensuring automated pipe prefabrication and providing accurate manufacturing data.

Core Components

Smap3D

Smap3D is modular, allowing you to tailor the solution to your specific project needs:

smap3d-pandid-banner-1

P&ID (2D Schematic)

The first link in the process chain, allowing for the creation of accurate 2D flowcharts.

The integrated P&ID To-Do-List function provides the intelligent connection to the 3D model, listing all components and lines that must be placed in the SOLIDWORKS assembly.

Piping (3D Modelling)

The ideal supplement to SOLIDWORKS for creating complex 3D pipeline systems.

Includes the Smap3D standard parts library and Smap3D PartFinder for efficient, specification-compliant component placement.

smap3d-isometric-banner-3

Isometric (Documentation)

The final link in the process chain, generating technical isometric drawings required for piping system production.

Automatically produces all required manufacturing data and documentation from the completed 3D model.
