CAD/CAE

Plan thanks to our know-how

Whether advice on system implementation, training, creation of pipe classes or taking over the complete CAD administration: VESCON has more than 15 years of experience in handling the most common CAE/CAD systems in plant construction. By working together with a wide variety of clients and planning partners, we offer well-founded expertise and maximum flexibility. Our customers not only save time but also their own resources. You too can benefit from this: by involving us in your individual tasks at an early stage and by accessing our know-how in all areas.

CAE/CAD systems we use and support:

  • AVEVA Plant PDMS, E3D
  • Intergraph PDS, SmartPlant
  • Bentley Microstation
  • Autodesk AutoCAD, NavisWorks

In addition, we apply state-of-the-art remote maintenance tools which guarantee a quick and comprehensive support – with maximum efficiency.

Consulting for CAE/CAD project administrators

Concentrate on your core business - and rely on our assistance in finding solutions to almost any tasks related to PDMS and PDS projects. Thanks to our wide range of experience we know how to eliminate the common sources of errors. It is up to you to decide if we are supposed to provide single services or handle a whole set of tasks.

Some of the services we offer:

  • Development of CAD concepts for the implementation of plant construction projects
  • Installation and licensing
  • Creation of project setups
  • Creation of catalogues
  • Interface support
  • Preparation of the project-specific documentation, for example 2D plans, isometries and lists
  • Clash management by NavisWorks
  • Data exchange and management to coordinate planning teams located in different places / AVEVA Global
  • Application adjustments to increase productivity
  • Training on all modules and user support

Conversions between different CAD systems

Outsourcing the administration

In particular small planning companies and new buyers of CAD systems find themselves confronted with huge challenges when it comes to the necessary company-specific and project-specific adaptations. If in-house administrators have not yet gained sufficient experience, if existing capacities are exhausted and the training of internal administrators exceeds the planning volume, you can count on us: simply entrust us with the administration of your CAD systems and make use of the entire range of our consulting services.

Creation of catalogues and specifications

Almost every project requires the adjustment or the new creation of pipe categories. The correct representation of the components and specifications in the CAD tool is a decisive factor in planning and documentation and contributes significantly to a project's success. Benefit from our experience in the creation of catalogues for the chemical, power plant, pharmaceutical and food industry. We assist you in:

  • the representation of catalogues components
  • the programming of pipe categories
  • the creation of templates for machines and devices
  • the insertion of steel beam profiles and fittings

Programming customer-specific additional applications

No one project equals the other. Even the most efficient CAD system cannot always cover the whole range of customer needs. Intelligent 3D-CAD systems and in particular  AVEVA PDMS with the programming language PML2 provide almost boundless opportunities to make additions and adjustments to the individual requirements of your planning projects.

We will take care of this: with the help of a flexible programming of customer-specific applications that provide new functions, rationalize processes and spare planners recurrent and time-consuming worksteps.
