E3D software
What is E3D software?
E3D (Everything 3D) is advanced 3D design software developed by AVEVA, widely used in large-scale industrial projects such as power plants, oil & gas facilities, marine systems, and chemical plants. In the context of electrical engineering, E3D enables engineers to design and layout electrical systems—including equipment, cable trays, and routing paths—within a fully integrated 3D environment.
E3D software working principle:
- E3D lets you build detailed 3D models of complex industrial plants, helping ensure everything fits correctly and works together smoothly.
- You can place electrical items like panels, transformers, cable trays, junction boxes, and lights exactly where they need to go, based on real measurements.
- The software can automatically figure out the shortest and safest paths for cables to run through trays and conduits, while also checking for space limits and rules.
E3D makes it easy for different engineering teams—like electrical, piping, mechanical, structural, and civil—to work together in the same 3D model. This helps avoid design clashes and improves teamwork.
