Hexagon Cadworx 2024 V24

CADWorx 2024 by Hexagon: Feature Overview

CADWorx 2024, developed by Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence division, is a powerful plant design and automation suite integrated with AutoCAD (2021–2025, 64-bit) and BricsCAD (Pro v21.2.10–v24.2.06, 64-bit). It streamlines the creation of intelligent 3D plant models, enhancing efficiency and collaboration in piping, structural, and equipment design. Below is a detailed introduction to its key features in English, without referencing source links as requested.

1. Intelligent 3D Plant Modeling

• Comprehensive Design Tools: Enables creation of intelligent 3D models with adaptive, specification-driven design for piping, equipment, and structural components.
• Automated Isometric Production: Utilizes Isogen to generate accurate piping isometric drawings directly from project databases, reducing manual effort.
• Auto-Routing: Offers intelligent piping auto-routing for rapid and precise 3D model development, improving design speed and accuracy.

2. Advanced Piping Design

• Catalog Editor Enhancements: Includes a find-and-replace function for quick updates to catalog data, streamlining vendor data integration.
• Pipe Support Components: Supports specification of minimum and maximum lengths for pipe supports, aligning with manufacturer standards.
• Sloped Piping: Introduces a Sloped Router piping rule and Sloped Autoroute icon for predefined slope configurations, ensuring accurate modeling for drainage or process requirements.
• Insulation Management: Allows modification of insulation on piping components, with adjustable lengths and integration into Bill of Materials (BOM) for export to formats like Excel, HTML, or Access.

3. Structural Design (CADWorx Structure)

• Steel Modeling: Provides extensive libraries of steel shapes (imperial and metric) for designing structural frameworks.
• Assembly Placement: Simplifies placement of complex assemblies like handrails, ladders, stairs, and grating for access control and safety.
• Structural Analysis Integration: Exports models to tools like GT STRUDL for structural analysis, minimizing rework.
• 2D Drawings: Generates 2D plan and elevation drawings with native dimensioning and annotations for construction documentation.

4. Integration and Collaboration

• Seamless Interoperability: Integrates with Hexagon tools like CAESAR II (pipe stress analysis), PV Elite (vessel and equipment design), and CADWorx Design Review for efficient review cycles with markup and redlining capabilities.
• Data Exchange: Supports importing rectangular vessels from PV Elite and exporting Navisworks properties for enhanced project coordination.
• Clash Detection: Identifies conflicts between piping, structural components, and equipment early in the design phase, reducing costly revisions.

5. Productivity and Usability Enhancements

• New Commands: Includes commands like ConvertEnhanced, ChangeSize, and ChangeSpec for faster design modifications.
• Modernized Interface: Features an updated user interface for improved navigation and workflow efficiency.
• Custom Data Mapping: Enables Pipeline-Reference mapping for isometric generation based on selection sets, enhancing flexibility.
• Global Isogen Edit: Allows simultaneous editing of multiple components and BOMs for structural plates across entire layouts.
• Configurable BOMs: Generates bills of material in popular database formats (e.g., Excel, Access) for both piping and structural components.

6. Training and Support

• Hexagon University: Offers self-paced training modules, including the Specifications Editor for creating and managing catalogs and specifications, to help users maximize software capabilities.
