Product Name and Description:

SuCri is a user-friendly and intuitive planning tool designed to create complex bracket systems (with pipe-enclosing components and secondary steel construction) by combining AutoCAD Plant3D and Advance Steel.

Modularity:

SuCri was modularly developed to meet all customer requirements.

Module 1 includes an extensive component catalog for AutoCAD Plant3D, while Module 2 provides a plugin bundle for Plant3D that offers additional features for Module 1. Module 3 includes all necessary components, styles, and configurations to complete the brackets and derive manufacturing documents. Module 4 allows for the automatic combination of primary and secondary steel construction in an orthographic drawing.

Module 1:

SuCri Module 1 is an innovative tool that allows for the quick and efficient creation of bracket systems in AutoCAD® Plant 3D®. With a user-friendly component catalog based on manufacturers, engineers and designers have easy access to a variety of bracket components to integrate into their projects. This optimizes and speeds up the design process, leading to more efficient work.

By reprogramming all components with the Python 3.7 programming language, they are seamlessly loaded into the Plant3D model area. This offers numerous advantages:

- Accurate detail representation

- No performance loss

- Additional features within the components, based on 15 years of experience in Plant3D

Module 2:

SuCri Module 2 is an ideal complement to Module 1 and only functions in combination with it. It is a plugin for Plant3D that provides advanced features for the pipe-enclosing components from Module 1. These advanced features are either based on customer requirements or established practices. The additional features significantly enhance efficiency and automate processes.

The benefits of this module are clear. The advanced features allow for the automation of many manual and time-consuming processes. Additionally, the risk of design errors is minimized, as most features are based on logic and/or mapping tables. For time-sensitive projects or changes, these features provide added value to all companies and are a true innovation in efficiently creating bracket systems in Plant3D.

Module 3:

SuCri Module 3 is an extension for Advance Steel. By directly exporting from Plant 3D to Advance Steel, Advance Steel can be optimally utilized to finalize pre-conceived steel construction designs from Plant3D. This allows for almost automatic derivation of manufacturing documents. Module 3 provides the complete configuration of the respective manufacturer to import, finalize, and derive the constructions from Plant 3D in Advance Steel.

The ability to import existing constructions from Plant 3D, provide connections in Advance Steel, finalize them, and quickly derive manufacturing documents offers significant time savings and is a revolutionary advancement in the market.

Module 4:

SuCri Module 4 offers an extension for Plant 3D that enables the automatic creation of secondary steel construction drawings.

For customers needing quick manufacturing drawings yet still wanting orthographic drawings in Plant3D, Module 4 is the optimal solution.
