Overall concept: discipline – software – training
How knowledge, software and training fit together.
Discipline
Fundamentals, standards and identification per discipline in the Plant Engineering Infobase.
Software
Which Autodesk product for which discipline – with training dates.
Training
All open dates, booking requests go directly to our sales team.
Learning path
Level 1 · User
AutoCAD, plant engineering fundamentals, P&ID and Plant 3D application.
Level 2 · Administrator
Project, symbol library, database, Report Creator.
Level 3 · Developer
Python scripting, catalog components, equipment scripts.
Level 4 · Coordination
Navisworks, clash detection, coordination of disciplines.
Learning with the online calculators – for apprentices and students
Each calculator explains the terms, suggests experiments ("What happens if …?"), names typical mistakes and includes an exercise with solution. Free and without sign-in (Piping Spec Calculator with a customer account); the fundamentals are covered in the Plant Engineering Infobase.
Pipe sizing & pressure drop
Why doubling the flow means almost four times the pressure drop – try it yourself, with an exercise.
Thermal expansion
How much a line expands in operation and how to compensate for it – steel versus plastic.
Pipe weight
Pipe, contents, insulation: what the support really carries – in operation and during the pressure test.
Support spans
Why thick pipes may span farther than thin ones – deflection you can get a feel for.
Piping specs
How thick a pipe has to be – pressure, temperature, material and allowances.
Unit converter DN · Class · material
Read European and American standards: DN, NPS, schedule, PN, Class.
Formats
Live online
Our preferred format: efficient, no travel and resource-friendly – with a trainer, exercises and questions just like in the classroom; also available in half-day blocks.
Training room Frankfurt am Main
Up to 8 CAD workstations, focused learning – in parallel with the online sessions.
