Intergraph CADWorx Plant Design Suite Training
General Description:
The CADWorx Plant Professional classes are designed to teach the effective use and functionality of the latest CADWorx Plant software, applied to plant design work.
The User will learn how to make the most of the program's capabilities, such as quickly building and editing models in a 3D environment and generating 2D drawings and isometrics from them.
The course also covers topics that, although not difficult in concept, can be time-consuming to learn on your own, such as specification management, program controls and settings.
Although CADWorx Plant is easy to use, there are many methods, tricks and techniques that will improve your productivity and your ability to generate the drawings you need as efficiently as possible.
This class is the best of its kind, placing a very strong focus on plant design using well-developed real-world examples.
Configuring working environment; basic software operation; creation of 3D piping, equipment, and steel models; effective modeling techniques and model management;
material management utilizing export, live database, and BOM back annotation in the drawing; 2D orthographics utilizing 3D clipping, sheet set manager, and 2D representation;
automatic isometric generation; specification and library basics; creation of custom components utilizing standard piping shapes, multi-end condition shapes, and user shapes.
