How is the general workflow at work with the P&ID to 3D Piping connection?
1) Preparatory steps: Enhancement of the 3D Piping pipe specifications with the “PID_ID” information. This ID is taken from the P&ID component database and it links/connects the 2D P&ID data record with the 3D-CAD model in the pipe specification. This link will used for automatic placement of 3D inner equipment components (3D models) via To-Do […] [read more]
