Speed up your workflows in Plant 3DTM and Advance SteelTM with SuCri®

The powerful plugin for Autodesk AutoCAD® Plant 3DTM  and Advance SteelTM

SuCri® is an innovative plug-in for AutoCAD® that supports engineers and planners in plant construction, e.g. in the waste water industry, the chemical industry or the process industry, and makes planning significantly more efficient.

The focus is on the considerably simplified planning of pipe supports as well as primary and secondary steel structures.
Thanks to integrated manufacturer-based component catalogues and automatic placement, SuCri® enables efficient and precise planning. The very time-consuming manual selection of suitable support combinations and insertion of components is no longer necessary - the time required by the planner is reduced by a factor of 10. 

In Advance SteelTM , SuCri® provides seamless integration to optimise steel construction planning. With innovative features, such as

  • integrated validation of suitable connection components
  • the automatic placement of suitable connections for secondary steel construction
  • templates for parts lists, processes and drawing styles for generating production documents
SuCri® stands for holistic and accurate planning. This makes it the perfect complement to the functionalities of Plant 3DTM  and Advance SteelTM .

 Conclusion

With the help of predefined components and intelligent catalogues, SuCri® significantly reduces the planning effort and at the same time improves the accuracy of system planning.
This enables more efficient project management and significantly higher productivity throughout the entire planning process, especially for complex systems.

Rohre aus rostfreiem Stahl für die Wasserbehandlung in der Prozessindustrie

Pipeline planning for the process industry

Piping design plays a crucial role in the process industry as it ensures the efficient and safe distribution of liquids and gases within plants. Careful planning is necessary to determine the optimum routing of pipework that is both economically and operationally viable. This includes taking into account pressure losses, temperature differences and material properties.  Precise pipework planning can minimise downtime and maximise the efficiency of the entire system, ultimately leading to cost savings and increased productivity.

Plant planning in the chemical industry

Plant planning in the chemical industry is of central importance for safe production. It involves the careful design and optimisation of production facilities in order to maximise processes and minimise costs. Factors such as the selection of suitable pipe dimensions, the arrangement of equipment, the integration of safety devices and compliance with environmental regulations are all taken into account. Precise plant planning helps to make optimum use of production capacities, increase operational safety and minimise the risk of accidents and environmental impact.

Pipeline planning for the wastewater industry

Water is life. In view of the growing environmental pollution and increasing demands on infrastructure, carefully considered planning in wastewater management is essential. It is not only about ensuring reliable drainage of wastewater, rainwater and industrial wastewater, but also about utilising resources sustainably. The challenge lies in the dimensioning and arrangement of sewers and pipes made of different materials. The complexity of the task requires an interdisciplinary approach that combines engineering expertise with ecological understanding and economic foresight.

Anführung 1 I really like the easier use of brackets, better handling and functionality of the bracket than with the standard Plant 3D. 

The height information for the brackets in the parts lists and the time saved when editing and customising the bracket provided me with real added value. The collaboration with IntegaDesign was excellent, with very personal, qualified advice and support. I can only recommend SuCri because of the time saved in SU design and documentation.
