Energy, Plant and Process
From Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firms to companies specializing in Alternative Energy, Wind, Oil and Gas, Processing, Hydropower, Nuclear and Water Treatment, SolidWorks' design, simulation and documentation solutions to deliver innovative, cost effective designs for process, plant and energy projects.
SolidWorks lets you use a common information model to create complete, accurate designs that can be leveraged across planning, equipment design, layout, fabrication and construction disciplines. Design alternatives can be explored easily using 3D parametric design and simulation capabilities to achieve optimal designs and meet customer and design objectives. And it's easy to create photorealistic renderings for presentations, proposals, or virtual and material studies.
SolidWorks Plant Design solutions help you create fully-detailed fabrication drawings for mechanical equipment designs, mechanical systems (HVAC), electrical cable layouts, and piping systems.
It's also easy to coordinate tasks across trades. Equipment, mechanical electrical and plumbing, and structural systems are all captured in 3D with accurate clash detection, helping eliminate costly redesign or onsite rework.
Standard component libraries, design models and project documentation are all managed with proper change and revision control. This helps ensure reliable design information sharing and reporting, such as BoM and quantity takeoffs.
