Challenge	The Fourth Research and Design Engineering Corporation of CNNC, a leading metallurgical design unit in China, was facing challenges with its 3D design process. The corporation, which includes the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Research and Design Institute Department, was struggling with the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Plant software for complex 3D pipeline designs. The department's previous BIM software was not compatible with the necessary Plant solutions, causing difficulties in professional collaboration and significantly increasing the workload in the post-design period. The department's business scope covers engineering consulting, design, management, and technology development, with projects spanning 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. The complexity and breadth of these projects necessitated a more efficient and collaborative design process. Read More
About Customer	The Fourth Research and Design Engineering Corporation of CNNC is the most extensive research and design unit of the CNNC and the first and largest metallurgical design unit established by New China. It includes the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Research and Design Institute Department that focuses on the entire industrial chain of pharmaceutical and chemical projects. The corporation is one of the four state-owned design institutes in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, with projects covering 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. The department's business scope covers engineering consulting, design, management, and technology development. Read More
Solution	To address these challenges, the corporation switched to BricsCAD BIM combined with CADWorx, a design software by Hexagon that offers tools for efficient Plant Design. BricsCAD BIM allowed the corporation to integrate all 3D designs within a single platform, providing good compatibility, permanent licensing, and world-class technical support. The software also enabled multi-disciplinary collaborative design of process piping, architecture, structure, HVAC, water supply drainage, and electricity. Furthermore, it integrated the CADWorx module to complete the process of pipeline modeling, effectively bridging the gap between BIM and Plant. This solution was particularly well-suited to the needs of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, filling a significant industry vacancy. Read More Log in to view content

Solution

To address these challenges, the corporation switched to BricsCAD BIM combined with CADWorx, a design software by Hexagon that offers tools for efficient Plant Design. BricsCAD BIM allowed the corporation to integrate all 3D designs within a single platform, providing good compatibility, permanent licensing, and world-class technical support. The software also enabled multi-disciplinary collaborative design of process piping, architecture, structure, HVAC, water supply drainage, and electricity. Furthermore, it integrated the CADWorx module to complete the process of pipeline modeling, effectively bridging the gap between BIM and Plant. This solution was particularly well-suited to the needs of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, filling a significant industry vacancy.

Impact #1	The adoption of BricsCAD BIM and CADWorx significantly improved the corporation's design process. The software's multi-discipline compatibility solved long-standing problems, enabling efficient collaboration across different specialties. The software also ran fast, integrated 2D and 3D design, and provided world-class technical support. The use of BricsCAD in a recent project for a large domestic pharmaceutical group demonstrated these benefits. The software not only met the high requirements for the construction period and the 3D design quality but also improved the design quality and reduced the workload in the later stage of the design.
