In their own words
AVEVA E3D Design
AVEVA E3D Design is a data-centric, multidiscipline 3D engineering design tool within AVEVA Unified Engineering. It uses parametric modelling with assembly design and surface modelling, and supports Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022 and browser access. Teams can collaborate through cloud data services, working on shared project data with near-real-time coordination. The software identifies clashes across disciplines and generates drawings and deliverables that update with the design. It imports and exports DXF, DWG, IFC 2x3, IFC4, DGN, STL and STEP files. Built-in capabilities include an industrial assistant, predictive and generative design tools, laser-scan data handling and integrations with engineering and asset systems. Custom functionality can use macros, PML and a .NET API. Listed data features include real-time stream processing, custom dashboards, anomaly detection and machine-learning tools. AVEVA describes Flex subscription licensing across cloud, hybrid and on-premises deployments; pricing is available on request.
