AVEVA™ E3D Design

Planned a project? Planning a project? Thinking of a new project environment?

NOW COMBINING the range of all common OBO cable support systems WITH the complete integration of the required designs.

Thanks to the stored logic, handling is very user-friendly and takes place in the AVEVA™ E3D Design standard masks. Brackets and constructions are created and placed using OBO-specific applications, the OBO Support Creator, and the OBO Single Bracket Creator.

The following options offer even more convenience:

• OBO Support MTO Creator: Creates material lists (BoM) for cable support systems for further use in Excel
• OBO Support Drawing Manager: For exporting 2D drawings, e.g., for use during installation
• OBO Typical Support Creator*: For the individual creation and placement of typical components (consisting of stem/arm variants)

FAQ

What is AVEVA™ E3D Design@OBO?

The AVEVA™ E3D Design solution from OBO is an innovative approach to planning cable support systems – unique in both type and scope. AVEVA™ E3D Design has its origins in pipeline construction and has been used reliably for many years to plan large-scale projects.

The catalogue logistics and user-guided applications allow for quick configuration of items, which are checked for plausibility and load capacity in the background and then suggested. This results in a high degree of planning accuracy. Thanks to the longevity of the catalogues combined with regular product updates, AVEVA™ E3D Design@OBO offers reliability not only for new construction planning, but also for project extensions or mirroring.

How do I access the E3D library via the OBO website?

If you meet the AVEVA™ E3D Design access requirements and have a license for use, you can access the library directly via this page. Simply scroll up to the AVEVA™ E3D Design@OBO banner. The OBO catalogue under E3D is an innovation in the planning of cable support systems in 3D models. Cable routes and constructions can be displayed here down to the level of detailed planning. In addition, typical examples and automatically generated material lists can be called up.

Is there a charge for using OBO data?

Once you have purchased a license for access to AVEVA™ E3D Design there are no further costs for using the OBO library. It is then available to you free of charge.

Which products and systems are available in the library?

The AVEVA™ E3D Design@OBO library contains models of OBO cable support systems in the familiar designs for industrial applications. The library also contains accessories such as molded parts, mounting materials, construction materials such as pole and boom systems, and assemblies (typicals). Assemblies that have been created can be reused in new projects.

Is basic knowledge required to use the application?

Basic knowledge of 3D applications is required to work on projects with AVEVA™ E3D Design. This further simplifies the use of the software solution and increases the added value for the user. If you have basic knowledge of 3D applications, the applications based on the programmed applications are very easy to implement.

What is required to use the AVEVA™ E3D Design catalogue?

In addition to sufficiently powerful hardware and access to the AVEVA™ E3D Design software, you need a confirmed declaration of use of the data to use the catalogue.

Can the configurations be edited by several people at the same time?

During the project phase, all configurations based on OBO catalog data in the model can be used and edited directly by several people at the same time. This is a major advantage, especially for international projects.

What other advantages does using the catalogues offer?

The catalogue offers extensive support right from the preliminary planning phase. The wide range of models for cable support systems and constructions in the OBO catalogue makes planning easier, as the constructions do not need to be adjusted afterwards. During planning, collision checks are carried out simultaneously, so that collisions are detected immediately. Products can be selected according to type using predefined product classes.
