can point out the differences

between two different revisions

of the model

Navisworks integration

The program generates

“intelligent” models which can

be browsed and examined with

Navisworks®.

The Plant Design Suite is dedicated to the detail engineering of the plant

Fast and precise 3D modeling

of the plant

Powerful tools for the modeling

as well as the routing of the

lines allow the user to create

extremely rapid and precise

drawings of the plant.

Piping spec driven design

Piping Class constantly checks

on the congruency of the

components inserted into the

lines.

Customizable dimensional

catalogue

The vast dimensional catalogue

provided by the program, can be

easily enlarged by filling in the

dimensional tables. Rather than

using the native 3D components

the operator can also make

use of his own 3D models or

models downloaded from the

manufacturer sites.

Structural steel and equipment

ESApro 3D Piping provides

the package for the modeling

of structural steel and a

references to other sheets, bills

of materials, welding, insulation

and cutting lists.

Drawing of isometrics from

scratch

In manual mode ESApro

Isometrics allows the drawing

of isometrics from scratch.

The drawing can be easily

and accurately performed

just picking up the isometric

symbols from the library under

constant control of the piping

spec and placing them on the

drawing.

As soon as the drawing is

finished and the dimensions

inserted, the program generates

the various lists as tables

on the drawing. Thanks to

a high level of automation,

graphics of excellent quality,

the many options of editing

and customization of the

graphic environment and the

the material lists, ESApro

Isometrics defines the ultimate

standard within the software

for the realization of isometric

drawings.

ESApro PLANT DESIGN

ESApro Head Loss calculates the

amount of pressure loss along

a line applying the “Ashrae

Handbook Fundamentals”

algorithms. The user only needs

to indicate the fluid path and

direction: then set the pressure,

the flow rate and the fluid

characteristics.

such as connectors (U-bolts,

reinforcement plates etc.),

holders (shoes, saddles,

pedestals, guides, springs etc.),

fastening elements (bolts, stud

bolts, clevises, turnbuckles ),

structural steel components

(beams, plates, shelves, poles

etc.).

The program automatically

generates the 2D detail drawings

and the bill of materials:

it also generates the

general layout that shows

the positioning of the

supports on the plant.

ESApro Stress Analysis

Interface, exports the 3D

geometry into the most popular

stress analysis software, thus

saving the manual insertion of

the coordinates of the pipe line

nodes.

ESApro Spool enhances

the capabilities of ESApro

Isometrics:

• automatic identification of the

spools within the sketches

of the whole line (design

isometrics)

• generation of material lists

subdivided by spool

• automatic generation of a

spool drawing, complete with

dimensions and material lists. ESApro 2D Piping is a very

effective tool for the drawing of

the plant orthographic views.

Even the user with a limited

knowledge of AutoCAD® will

be operative in no time: he just

needs to define the piping class

and the ND and then make use

of the intuitive commands of the

program such as:

• automatic dressing of the line

with pipes and elbows

• parametric generation of the

plant components in each

size and in all views

• Insertion of components with

automatic alignment and

cutting of pipes

• MTO draft.

ESApro MTO allows to draw up

a material estimate in advance,

prior to the development of the

detail engineering. It guides

the manual data entry of the

components by filtering data

through the piping spec and

automatically generates the bill

of materials. ESApro MTO can

be used alongside with ESApro

P&ID in order to provide the

complete list of piping materials

starting from the diagram.

Flanges, fittings, nuts and bolts,

branch components and reducers

can be automatically inferred by

the piping class, the user has only

to insert the pipe lengths and the

quantity of elbows.

ESApro Supports is dedicated

to the 3D design of the supports

of the pipelines created with

ESApro 3D Piping or even other

plant design software.

The package includes a vast

library of parametric parts

ESApro ELECTRICAL DESIGN

Plant Design Suite, allows

to complete the model with

support structures such as

racks, basements, stairways,

walkways.

Interference detection

The program checks out if the

raceways collide each other

or with pipe lines, machinery,

structures and in general

whatever 3D entity present in

the model.

Automatic orthographic views

The automatic orthographic

view tool, very versatile and

rich in details, is one of the

strong points of ESApro. The

views are automatically updated

whenever modifications are

made to the model.

Material lists

The program automatically

generates the material lists in

Excel and TXT formats.

Once positioned the electrical

utilities into the model and set

the cable list, ESApro Cable

Routing performs the automatic

routing of the cables, identifing

the shortest path in compliance

with the various constraints

(sections filling, compatibility

with other cables).

Anyway the routing proposed

by the program can be forced

by the user in case of specific

situations. If the 3D model of

the raceways made with ESApro

Cable Trays is not available, the

net geometry (sections with

related length and connections

between the various sections)

can be either described with

manual data entry or imported

through an Excel file. Thereafter

the program works in the same

manner as described above.

The Electrical Design Suite is dedicated to electrical design of the plant

ESApro Cable Trays is dedicated

to the tridimensional modeling

of the primary and secondary

electrical raceways: alongside

the other ESApro modules it

allows to create the complete

multidisciplinary model of the

plant.

Specification controlled design

The program relies on the

SQL data base, containing

the dimensional catalogue of

the cable trays components,

through which the user is

guided and controlled while

modeling the raceways net.

Fast and accurate modeling of

the raceways

With ESApro Cable Trays

powerful tools the modeling of

the cable trays becomes easy,

quick and precise.
