The primitive shape library was expanded. Users can now create custom parametric equipment (e.g., fin-fan coolers, reformer reactors) using formulas linked to process data sheets. introduced a "parameter sweep" tool to test different sizes quickly.
This feature would enable the software to automatically detect clashes between different design elements, such as pipes, equipment, and structural components, and generate a detailed report highlighting the clashes. This would help designers and engineers identify and resolve potential issues early in the design process, reducing the risk of costly rework and improving overall project efficiency. aveva e3d 3.1.6
engines. Handling massive point clouds and high-fidelity laser scans has become smoother. For brownfield projects, this means less lag when overlaying new designs onto existing "as-built" data, which is critical for clash detection and spatial coordination. 3. Advanced Automation via Lexicon and Programmability The 3.1.6 update introduces more robust hooks for PML (Programmable Macro Language) and .NET customizations. Automated Drawing Generation: The primitive shape library was expanded
: Supports the import of photorealistic laser scans directly into the design environment, allowing for "clash-free" brownfield modifications where new designs are checked against existing physical conditions. Surface Manager This feature would enable the software to automatically

One of the team members, Alex, spoke up. "I've been working on the piping design, and I have to say, the new features in 3.1.6 have made it so much easier to manage. The auto-routing tool is amazing – it saves me hours of work every day."
