Requirements

  • It is recommended to have the software to practice the lessons learned, and some knowledge of AutoCAD is also recommended.

Description

This course is designed to equip students with solid skills in AutoCAD Plant 3D, a software that directly competes with CADWorx. The course covers the vast majority of features offered by the software, enabling students to complete an industrial plant project from start to finish, with a strong focus on the piping area. It is highly recommended to practice the knowledge acquired to reinforce learning.


This course is also highly beneficial for professionals who already use AutoCAD Plant 3D but need additional knowledge to achieve an advanced level.


The course is aimed (but not limited) to students, designers, and engineers in the fields of mechanical, chemical, industrial, and civil engineering who seek a more comprehensive understanding of the tool.
