MultiCAD Import Capability Delivers Five Fold Increase in CAD Format Support for Industrial 3D Modeling Software
Tech Soft 3D, the leading provider of engineering software development toolkits, today announces that AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, is using HOOPS Exchange to provide a powerful multicad import feature to AVEVA E3D Design that lets customers easily bring in data from multiple sources and enrich a common data model. This new feature, powered by HOOPS Exchange, provides the foundation for a sophisticated digital twin that customers can take advantage of during the lifecycle of the asset. The multicad import feature also helps drive digital transformation for enterprises with complex operational processes. As part of its mission, AEVA helps customers in industries ranging from power & utilities to oil & gas and shipbuilding with the design and engineering, operation, and optimization of their plants and other large assets.

“HOOPS Exchange has been a fantastic way to increase the number of formats we support, and the results are something that we just wouldn’t have been able to achieve in a timely manner with our own development resources,” said Brian Hughes, Senior Product Manager, AVEVA. “Whether we’re talking about a process plant for an energy company or a brand-new container ship, these are very large, complex, and expensive assets that need to run for many, many years, so a lot of care needs to be put into their initial design as well as their ongoing operation.”
AVEVA’s 3D design solution, AVEVA E3D Design, has long helped customers with the design of these assets. The product provides a common model that enables all the designers and different disciplines to seamlessly work together on the project and to identify and resolve clashes before anything is built. The product also allows for integration of as-built laser scan data for modernization projects or refurbishments, eliminating construction rework.
Increasingly, customers wanted to bring even more types of information into the AVEVA E3D Design environment and to leverage the model beyond the design phase.
HOOPS Exchange enabled AVEVA’s customers to create a richer, more detailed data model that provides the foundation for a digital twin that can help optimize performance of expensive assets over time
“There’s a lot more use being made of the model in recent years,” explained Hughes. “People have realized that the engineering data created during the design phase is a useful resource that can be used to create a digital twin and optimize the performance of the asset during the operations phase. Due to that shift change, our customers wanted us to enable them bring together more types of data from different systems and vendors to create a more complete model.”
