SupportModeler™

Required Product- PDS

PDS is a comprehensive, intelligent computer-aided design/engineering (CAD/CAE) application for plant design, construction and operations.

LEARN MORE

SupportModeler™ for PDS^® can build your company's standards into flexible libraries of pipe support assemblies. Assembly libraries define the detailed graphics for 3D modeling, the rules for sizing and placement and everything needed to create automatic fabrication drawings for each support in a project. SupportModeler will accelerate modeling and detailing of both standard and engineered pipe supports. The software enables integration of the modeling of pipe hangers with the rest of the plant design.

Save Time

Generate quality details for standard or engineered supports with SupportModeler's fabrication drawing system – saving the time it takes to draw manually.

Increase Productivity

Speed placement and ease checking effort with out-of-the-box "smart" libraries.

Manage Complex Projects

Manage large projects with thousands of supports that can scale to any size project.

Improve Data Accuracy

Integrate the detailed pipe support design process into the rest of the plant by using SupportModeler in the PDS environment.

Protect Legacy Data

Protect legacy data by migrating paper-based company standards into your intelligent 3D CAD design systems.

Reduce Errors

Reduce field errors by creating better-detailed drawings in greater quantities.

Interference Detection

Minimize expensive rework in the field due to interference between pipe supports and other plant structures and equipment.

Instant Visualization

Detailed 3D graphics provide instant visual feedback at the time of modeling.

Individual Drawings

Bring the goal of pre-assembled and pre-installed pipe supports one step closer with individual, annotated drawings for both standard and custom supports.

Material Tracking

Intelligent components allow review, reporting and interface to material management systems.

Libraries

Extensive delivered libraries make SupportModeler productive out of the box, with user-created custom libraries added as needed to improve productivity.

Deliverables to the O/O

The O/O can enjoy reduced risk for schedule slippage, accurate data for information handover and up-to-date data as sustained during operations for revamp projects.
