Cideon Whitepaper: Efficient BIM Software and the Right Methodology for Smooth Projects
 

BIM is evolving into a key technology in machine building and plant construction. Today's clients demand more than just functional plants; they require BIM-compliant data that can be integrated into digital building models. In this whitepaper, we highlight the advantages of BIM, explain the differences between BIM and CAD, describe the German government's BIM master plan, and provide a practical example of how to implement a BIM environment.

ProModel AutoCAD

ProModel AutoCAD Edition

Factory planning and process optimization - run simultaneously in AutoCad.

Quickly create a spatially accurate layout and process simulation model in AutoCAD using Factory Design Assets and the ProModel add‑in. Simulate the scaled model directly with one click, review results in the Output Viewer, adjust layout or processes in AutoCAD, and validate them. You can also view and animate the model in 3D with Inventor and ProModel 3D Animator.

This simultaneous creation of layout and process models in AutoCAD drastically reduces the time and effort needed for optimal factory design.
