An operator used E3D 3.1 combined with laser scan data of the existing rig. Because of the improved point cloud handling and snap features, they reduced offshore survey days from 14 to 3. Clash detection caught a critical interference between a new safety valve and an existing structural column, preventing a $2 million fabrication error.
Generating 2D deliverables, such as orthographic plot plans, piping isometrics, and structural details, is highly automated in this release. The software utilizes intelligent annotation rules to place dimensions and labels cleanly, minimizing the manual drafting cleanup required before issuing documents to the fabrication shop. Core Modeling Modules
AVEVA E3D 3.1 integrates seamlessly with AVEVA™ Unified Engineering and cloud-based platforms. This ensures that data flows effortlessly between design, procurement, and construction, enabling better project management and material management. It allows global teams to collaborate on the same 3D model in real-time, regardless of their location. 4. Laser Data Integration aveva e3d 3.1
: Provides real-time clash detection to identify and resolve spatial conflicts early in the design phase, significantly reducing rework costs during construction. Key Version 3.1 Features AVEVA™ E3D Design 3.1 - Reporting
: Used to produce scaled, annotated drawings directly from the 3D model. New updates include integrated "Quick Draw" features within the Model module for faster updates. IsoDraft : Dedicated to producing piping isometrics. An operator used E3D 3
: The software provides native, high-performance rendering of point cloud data, enabling clash detection between digital models and as-built laser scans. 3. Structural and Piping Automation
If you are currently on E3D 2.1 or even an earlier 3.0 iteration, here is why you should upgrade to 3.1. Generating 2D deliverables, such as orthographic plot plans,
Version 3.1 focuses on a more modern, streamlined interface to increase designer productivity:
Industrial facilities require the harmonious synchronization of various engineering disciplines. AVEVA E3D 3.1 provides dedicated, intelligent environments for every major discipline: Piping Design
Independent tests on a reference model (a 500,000-component LNG process module) showed the following improvements of E3D 3.1 over E3D 3.0:
