3D+ Explained

Integration

3D+ has unprecedented levels of integration - from structural analysis and design packages, to other AutoCAD or Architectural Desktop based modelling systems for architectural services and M & E.

  • Structural analysis and design data is managed simultaneously within the 3D+ objects. A separate analytical frame linked to the physical structure enables engineers to interpret structural analytical requirements separately where required.
  • Loading can be applied in the 3D+ model for integration with design tools.
  • Two-way integration with Fastrak Building Designer, S-Frame and others.
  • Model integration with other disciplines such as Architectural, M & E and Steel Fabricators.
  • NavisWorks® - direct links to NavisWorks for project review and co-ordination. (See below)
  • Architectural Desktop - two-way conversion of 3D+ objects to ADT structural objects.
  • Other file formats include CIS/2 and SDNF.

Navisworks

NavisWorks integration offers universal access to view and walk through 3D CAD models in real time; with interactive visualisation and interference checking regardless of file size and format.

  • Create a virtual building from numerous 3D CAD files thus enabling true collaboration between the design team; even if they are not using compatible CAD systems.
  • Utilise the 3D Design Review with NavisWorks to help complete accurate and coordinated production information so that projects finish on time and within budget.
  • Identify and rectify design issues and interference errors before work commences, thus avoiding the expense of delay and reworking.
