Detect3D 2.7

Detect3D is a specialized Windows-based software tool developed by Insight Numerics for 3D fire and gas (F&G) detector mapping, primarily used in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and process industries. It helps engineers optimize the placement of flame, gas, and (in development) acoustic detectors by accurately accounting for obstructions in complex 3D geometries imported from CAD files (e.g., DGN, DWG, OBJ, STEP, STL).

Key Features

  • Ray-tracing algorithms — to calculate true coverage (field-of-view blocking, geographic vs. volumetric coverage).
  • Support for flame detectors, point/open-path gas detectors, and custom FOV definitions.
  • Genetic algorithm-based automatic detector positioning optimization.
  • 3D visualizations (isovolumes, contours), reporting tools, and CAD export.
  • Built-in geometry editor for creating 3D models from 2D drawings (useful in FEED stages).
  • Integration with manufacturer detector databases.

It allows in-house F&G mapping studies (reducing outsourcing costs by 60-70% according to users) and runs on standard laptops/workstations.
