AVEVA is committed to continuously enhancing and developing the E3D software to meet the evolving needs of its users. Some of the key developments on the roadmap include:
Most designers used the software like digital tracing paper. Draw a pipe, avoid a beam. But The Propagator allowed you to define a “golden zone” – a volume of space that must remain empty for access or maintenance. Then, you could tell the software: If a legacy object violates this zone, treat it as a variable, not a fixed obstacle.
Electrical designers benefit from "gravity-aware" cable tray routing. The system respects slope and sag, preventing impossible designs (e.g., cable trays running uphill against gravity drains). aveva e3d 31
for the plant, marine, and power industries. As the modern successor to the legacy Plant Design Management System (PDMS), version 3.1 represents a massive architectural leap forward. It successfully unifies multidisciplinary design, heavy-industry shipbuilding capabilities, cloud-driven model simplification, and immersive laser-scan point clouds into a single source of truth.
Furthermore, AVEVA E3D 3.1 champions openness. A significant new feature is the tool, which enables the import and processing of files from over 30 different CAD software systems, including AutoCAD, Solidworks, Creo, and Revit, directly into the E3D model database. This breaks down data silos and facilitates true multi-disciplinary collaboration.

The core interactive 3D modeling space where designers build physical equipment, structural steelwork, HVAC, and piping networks. It renders real-time, color-shaded geometries that bridge the gap between traditional draft drawings and photorealistic asset visualization. AVEVA E3D Design
She looked at the AVEVA E3D icon on her desktop—the stark, utilitarian logo.
The rollout of AVEVA E3D Design 3.1 introduced critical underlying enhancements designed to handle the sheer scale of modern capital projects. Unlike its predecessors, version 3.1 removes classic architectural limitations through several key infrastructure updates: Draw a pipe, avoid a beam
Version 3.1 introduces enhanced reporting tools integrated with its search functionality:
: By catching these errors in the 3D model, companies can avoid extremely expensive rework during the physical construction phase. 3. Automated Drawing & Report Generation
