Software Tools and Capabilities

Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor is a leading 3D CAD software for mechanical design, enabling Circle B to:
- Create highly detailed 3D models of skids, piping, and buildings
- Simulate mechanical performance, load, and stress on structural components
- Generate detailed assemblies, sub-assemblies, and part-level drawings for fabrication
- Integrate with other Autodesk tools for seamless workflow
Autodesk AutoCAD

AutoCAD allows Circle B to produce precise 2D drawings and schematics, including:
- Piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs)
- Electrical wiring layouts and schematics
- Floor plans and structural drawings for buildings and skids
- Accurate dimensioning and annotation for fabrication and approval
Autodesk Vault

Autodesk Vault is a data management tool that ensures version control and collaboration across design teams:
- Manages CAD files and associated documentation
- Tracks revisions and maintains an audit trail for engineering changes
- Facilitates collaboration between multiple design engineers across locations
- Enhances consistency and accuracy in multi-disciplinary projects
Codeware COMPRESS

Codeware COMPRESS is specialized software for pressure vessel and piping stress analysis:
- Ensures compliance with ASME pressure vessel codes
- Simulates load, pressure, and thermal stress on piping and skids
- Helps engineers design safe and reliable equipment for operational and regulatory compliance
Reduces potential fabrication and operational issues by validating designs upfront

Full 3D Drawing Packages for Fabricated Equipment

Circle B provides comprehensive 3D drawing packages for all fabricated equipment:

General Arrangements (GA): Complete 3D layouts of skids, buildings, and production equipment.
Piping Details: Precise routing, connections, and integration with valves, meters, and analyzers.
Building Structural Designs: Steel framing, paneling, and insulation layouts.
Skid Structural Designs: Frame layouts, support structures, and mounting points for equipment.
Bill of Materials (BOM): Complete lists of materials, components, and quantities for fabrication planning.
2D Electrical Wiring Diagrams: Detailed schematics for installation, commissioning, and field support.

These packages enhance communication, improve approval timelines, and reduce errors during fabrication and installation.

Approval Drawing Process

Circle B’s approval drawing process ensures accuracy, transparency, and customer confidence:
