AutoCAD Plant 3D

AutoCAD Plant 3D

II. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course develops skills in using AutoCAD Plant 3D for the design and modeling of industrial plants.

Participants will learn to develop P&ID diagrams, model equipment and piping systems, and generate technical documentation used in industrial projects.

During the course, participants will develop a model of an industrial plant, integrating the workflow

P&ID → 3D Modeling → Technical Documentation.

III. GENERAL OBJECTIVE

To design and model industrial plants, including equipment and piping systems, by integrating technical, regulatory, and calculation criteria, and to represent them professionally using AutoCAD Plant 3D software, enabling the generation of 3D models, P&ID diagrams, and technical documentation for on-site implementation.

IV. SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED

Upon completion, the participant will be able to:

  • Design P&ID diagrams in accordance with regulations
  • Model industrial plants in 3D
  • Design piping systems (piping)
  • Generate automatic isometric views
  • Create professional drawings in AutoCAD Plant 3D
  • Compile a technical dossier for the industrial project
