SolidWorks enables Oil and Gas Industry to deliver faster
Be they On-shore engineering for Fossil Fuel technology or Off-shore Rigs, SolidWorks
has found common ground with Large Project contractors in bringing home cost-effective,
failsafe designs. SolidWorks has found numerous applications in Oil and Gas
Engineering Industry. Some of them are:
- Sub Sea Equipment and Structures
- Floating Platforms
- Off-shore Structures and Piping
- Oil and Gas Distribution Systems
- ROV and Remote Intervention Systems
- Oil field equipments and mechanical systems
- Drilling Equipments and Tools
- Flowline Equipments
Unique Benefits of SolidWorks in Oil and Gas Applications
Imagine automating a design process and being able to estimate an accurate BOM at
the Request For Quote Stage. No on-site rework, cost-effective design, trouble-free
operation, well documented service manuals, enhanced Mean Time Between Failures
( MTBF ), efficient performance and above all ecologically safe - the wish list
for Oil and Gas Engineering Community is exhaustive in terms of criteria that affect
bottomline profitability. These are just a few criteria that has enabled Turnkey
Design and Engineering contractors to choose SolidWorks in comparison to contemporary
design solutions. Our customers have invested in SolidWorks after asking themselves
many questions that directly address assured return on investment:
- Is Correctness and Completeness of Drawings according to Standards important?
- Is Cost Reduction a necessity - Have targets been provided to all Departments including
Design?
- Is Design Validation a necessity to enhance product performance ?
- Is staying profitable a priority for stake holders?
- Is development of new technologies and capabilities relevant for retaining/ capturing
market leadership?
The list is by no means complete. One Solution has delivered all the time
- SolidWorks !
Why Invest in SolidWorks for Design?
Equipments used in Off Shore or On Shore Oil and Gas applications need to be up
and running all the time. Continuous service with no compromise on operational
efficiency, safety and reliability are the primary engineering objectives of design
teams involved in such applications. Pumps, Compressors, Machineries, Material
Handling Equipments, Hydraulic actuation systems, Drives and Transmissions are some
of the products that find
- Save Time - by avoiding
Re-work, automating design functions and using configurable designs
- Control Costs - by
validating designs for Stresses, deflections, tolerances using innumerable choices
inside an Integrated Design-Validate-Document-Collaborate environment
- Value Engineeirng (VAVE)
using FEA and CFD Validation - Solidworks
Simulation and SolidWorks Flow Simulation
help determine Factors of Safety, Fatigue Life Assessment, Efficiency estimation,
Seismic Response, prediction of vibration levels including Root Cause for Failure
Analysis
- Do it once Do it Right - Re-work results
in costs, and delays - SolidWorks empowers engineers to concentrate on their designs
instead of the tools
