On the SWWX show floor: CAD Partner

Intergraph may have bought up Coade, but that doesn't mean SolidWorks can't do 3D piping design. CAD Partner GmbH (the GmbH tips you off this is a Germany company) is showing Smap3D Piping working with SolidWorks for the very first time at booth 542.

(When I first saw the name, I thought it was "sNap3d" but one second glance realized it was the more unusual sMap3d.")

The software designs 3D pipe system construction plans in SolidWorks by implementing pipe classes, with components (fittings, flanges etc.) defined each class specific to project specifications, such as diameter, medium, etc.). They say this centralized definition prevents user-created design flaws.

More in English from www.Smap3D.com -- well, kind of. The site still refers to SMAP3D working entirely inside Solid Edge. Oops!
