MCAD2PDMS - MCAD - PDMS converter from Unitec

Within your company several 3D software solutions are used. For example; you use Inventor or Solid Edge for your Mechanical designs and AVEVA Plant (PDMS) for the general layout and/or Piping routes. Exchanging data between the MCAD solutions and PDMS is not only time consuming, but often also impossible to do.

Unitec recognized this challenge and developed an interface that allows you to use STEP (AP214) or Parasolid fi les to generate an AVEVA PDMS PML-Macro, which can be imported into PDMS without any diffi culty. With our MCAD2PDMS interface you can use existing 3D CAD models, from mechanical design or even architectural design, in AVEVA Plant or AVEVA Marine.

Re-using your designs, mechanical and/or architectural, will save you not only time, but also money as there is no need for re-modeling. Additionally re-using the MCAD models also prevents from false interpretation or errors when re-modeling, providing you a more accurate design and an optimized project
overview.

Our interfaces connect the market leaders

  • Easy to use conversion from your Mechanical design into PDMS
  • Optimal combimation of faces and 3D primitives
  • The quality of the conversion can be optimized for each project seperatly
  • With migration projects you will receive professional support of Unitec
  • Unitec, as certifi ed partner, offers modifi cation and service for your interface

The benefits when using both systems

  • Bi-directional exchange of data between your CAD-system and PDM
  • Visualizing of assemblies and build groups from your Process and Mechanical designs
  • Collision detection of assemblies and build groups from your Mechanical design in PDMS
  • Creation of drawings and details in your Mechanical design software and in PDMS
