The "Spec-Driven Design" is stricter in 3.1. The software now enforces bolting lengths and gasket thicknesses automatically based on the chosen specification. The auto-routing algorithm is also 30% faster, finding the shortest, least obstruction-dense path between two points in complex pipe racks.
: A new application for creating functional, space, and area arrangements. It allows for early 3D coordination of compartments or zones and supports partial mass property calculations (weight, volume, and area). aveva e3d 3.1
Traditional modeling uses Brep (Boundary Representation), which is heavy. E3D 3.1 uses a hybrid kernel that supports both precise Brep for machined parts and lightweight graphical representation for bulk items. This allows a complete refinery model to load in seconds, not minutes. The "Spec-Driven Design" is stricter in 3
