Nuclear Plant Layout - Software & Procad (3Dsmart)

[candice_84]

Does anyone know what software is used to draw nuclear plant pipes, electrical systems, turbines, etc? Can Procad (3dsmart) be useful?

Hi there,

Each NPP designer in this world will probably use something different. There is not one standard CAD software in this world.

Cheers

That would probably work, and it's 2D cousin - http://www.procad.com/2d-software.php

There is a similar product from Dassault - DraftSight

AutoCAD (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=14960879&siteID=123112)

ProE (http://www.ptc.com/products/proengineer/)

CADPipe is yet another - http://www.cadpipe.com/
