Hexagon's 3D Modeling & Visualization applications reduce project execution schedules through automation and production efficiencies. Making changes can be time-consuming and tedious.
Head-to-head studies have shown that by using Hexagon's 3D Modeling & Visualization solutions, 3D modeling effort can be reduced by up to 30 percent relative to conventional applications. This productivity is delivered through design automation and automated deliverables production.
The modern, specification- and rule-driven applications understand the many object relationships that exist within the plant model. As modern applications, the training time is much shorter than that for older applications. With the ability to develop and input your own design rules, you can take advantage of the opportunity for increasing:
-
Economies of knowledge
-
Quality of design
-
Consistency of design
-
Ability of organization to leverage best practices globally
The solution includes the powerful Smart™ 3D and PDS® applications.
Smart 3D
