MODEL

Model is the main, graphically driven constructor module. It enables a full sized three-dimensional model to be defined in the design database, with selected views of the current state of the design shown on the graphics screen as the design progresses.

All parts of the design (including equipment, and piping and structural steelwork layouts) can be created. Component selection is provided through Specifications that dictate which Catalog Components can be used. Each part of the design model can be displayed in colour-shaded ‘solid’ colour-coded representations for ease of interpretation.

The Model module can check for interferences (clashes) between items created in the design. There is a very flexible reporting capability that can be used to produce a wide variety of design documents - from bulk Material Take Off to detailed nozzle schedules.

Piping isometrics can be previewed in Model (without having to switch to the Isometric drawing generation module, Isodraft).
