Smap3D Piping is the ideal extension for SOLIDWORKS®,in order to create connected piping systems using fittings. 3D Sketch is used to draw the course of the pipeline as base for creating a pipeline path.
The Smap3D standard parts library of plant design components [1] is used to provide the user with a powerful complete package for the speedy application of their requirements in specification driven pipeline planning and pipeline design based on SolidWorks®.
The user can then use Smap3D Piping to place bends, tees, flanges, gaskets and so on as well as generating the pipelines automatically.
The generation of insulations around a pipeline and adding reducing components to a pipeline can also be done automatically.
It is also possible to create pipelines with NOT ROUND profile (e.g. Air ducts, Cable trays, and so on).
These and other automatic functions are enabled when working with pipe specifications
