A Three Dimensional Model (3D Model) is the graphics and images that is created a 3D object using 3D modelling programs: CAD modelling is visually represented as a two-dimensional image using 3D rendering or visualisation techniques. A 3D Model represents any three-dimensional surface of an object, connected a set of points with various geometric data such as lines and curved surfaces with the goal of creating a wide frame model. A 3D Model is used for engineering and manufacturing to digital animation, and popular in entertainment ventures, medicine and engineering, and can be created automatically or manually.
Engineering 3D Model is the modelling and analysis of modern engineering plants that helps design engineers to create complex plants, plant designs, piping layout, structural systems, etc., and key benefits are: Easily manage work sharing between multifil design teams around the globally; Optimise performance of any size or complexity; Easily modify and reuse in multiple projects; Save time and minimise errors with automated data handling; Rely on operational safety, efficiency, accuracy and intelligent design, etc.
The right 3D Model software is important for integrated modelling, analysis and simulation. Popular 3D Plant Layout Software Tools are: Smart® 3D (Intergraph); PDMS (Plant Design & Management, Aveva); PDS (Plant Design Software, Intergraph); AutoPLANT (Bentley); CADWorx (Intergraph); AutoCAD plant-3D (Autodesk). A 3D Model is a deliverable document of the FEED and Detailed Design and Engineering generated by the multidisciplinary efforts. (Refer to the Three Dimensional Modelling (3D Modelling)
