A new Autodesk Plant Design Suite is announced. Recently it was the Autodesk Design Suite and Autodesk Factory Suite. The Plant Design Suite is not for farming plants, but for process & power plant design.

In this Autodesk Plant Design Suite you get:

AutoCAD 

AutoCAD is one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D design applications known by almost every plant designer and engineer around the world. With powerful and flexible features, it is used extensively for a variety of general design and drafting purposes and also serves as the platform of choice for many plant industry design applications.

Autodesk Navisworks Manage

Autodesk Navisworks Manage is a comprehensive project review solution for analysis, simulation, and communication of project information. Multidisciplinary design data can be combined into a single integrated project model for interference management and clash detection. Autodesk Navisworks Manage helps plant design and engineering professionals to anticipate and avoid potential problems sooner in the project schedule.

AutoCAD P&ID 

Create, modify, and manage piping and instrumentation diagrams. Built on the latest AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD P&ID is familiar and easy to use. Streamline and automate common tasks to boost productivity, and easily access component and line information while you work.

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate

Autodesk Navisworks Simulate offers advanced tools for analysis, simulation, and communication of project information. Comprehensive 4D simulation, animation, and photorealism capabilities enable users to demonstrate design intent and simulate construction, helping to drive insight and predictability. Real-time navigation combines with project review tools to support collaboration within the plant design project team.

AutoCAD Plant 3D 

Design, model, and document process plants with AutoCAD Plant 3D. Built on the familiar AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Plant 3D brings modern 3D design to plant designers and engineers. Features like specification-driven design, integrated AutoCAD P&ID functionality, and simple generation of construction documents can increase productivity, accuracy, and coordination.
