Automation of 3D Modelling: Case Study
Automation of 3D Modelling
3D modelling has become the backbone of integrated detail design. A considerable amount of effort, time
and cost is involved in executing integrated 3D modelling across all disciplines. Manual data entry is needed
at each stage of design, drafting and drawing based on which a 3D model is made. When entering data
manually, there are chances of some data loss, translation errors and other human errors. To eliminate these
errors and to optimize the time and man-power needed, we designed a software application to automate 3D
Modelling by eliminating need for data re-entry at each step.
The application was initially developed for Electrical and Civil departments to directly optimize specialized 3D
integration software license and high skilled man-power requirements. After being successfully implemented
for ongoing projects like UOP-5, SNDC, KDC and GSFD, the developments were further leveraged to the
Piping and Instrumentation teams.
Future Scope
In the future, the software can be leveraged further within LTHE and has the potential to extend across
other engineering centres. Additionally, the model developed by the software carries all information
within the model, which can be easily accessed at the client end and used across multiple software.
Further developments on this application can help LTHE in achieving improved compliance to ISO
15926 (international standard for data integration, sharing, exchange, and hand-over between computer
systems). Overall, the development of this application has been a breakthrough innovation at LTHE
towards value engineering. 3D model for Hasbah
