Fabrication CADMEP and Autocad Plant3D

milic.srdjan — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 14:16:23 GMT

Hallo to all,

Someone have experience with installation of Fabrication CADMEP on Autodesk Plant 3D. ?
Is it possible ?

I google a little, but no information about this issue.
I think that will be very good to use possibilities of Ductwork with CADMEP i the same model with pipework

Any suggestions...

Is it answer ?

" Note: Fabrication CADmep 2015 will only run within AutoCAD 2015 or one of the AutoCAD 2015 vertical products such as AutoCAD MEP 2015, AutoCAD Plant 2015, etc. "

Never seen or heard of anyone installing Fabrication on Plant.

Why not just use Fabrication for both Pipie and Duct?

Plant3d and FabMep are vastly different types of pipe programs. Does fabmep have auto iso generation or the ability to export to a pipe stress analysis program such as Caesar II? These are major requirements for most plant piping programs.

@Keith.Brown

straight to point...
In two sentence are explained every difference.

I have situation as
complete fertiliser plant is design in Plant3D, and now we have need for one or two duct systems, for air. We have more then 600 pipelines.
We had thoughts about integrate Autocad MEP as solution for design of ducts, but as I understand, still we need CADfabrication for detail design and manufacturing drawings of duct system.

So...Question from beginning of this disquisition. Is it possible to run
Fabrication CADMEP on Autodesk Plant 3D
Fabrication CADMEP also use some type of SQL database ?...will be a problem/ collision with existing P3D SQL database ?
