CAD workstations for Plant 3D and BIM
Large models and point clouds need the right hardware. We configure TERRA workstations by WORTMANN AG and mobile workstations to match your software and project size – tested with Plant 3D, ReCap and Navisworks.
Which computer for which work?
The classes we supply most often for Plant 3D with ReCap.
| Deployment | Device | Equipment |
| Mobile · construction site, on-site scanning, training | 16-inch mobile workstation (e.g. Dell Precision) | Intel Core i7 (H series), NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, 3-year manufacturer service |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started with CAD – AutoCAD, P&ID, smaller Plant 3D projects | TERRA Workstation 8050 | Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, 64 GB DDR5, NVIDIA RTX A1000 8 GB, 1 TB NVMe SSD (PCIe 5.0), 5-year on-site service (24 h) |
| P&ID and Plant 3D – standard projects | TERRA Workstation 7500 | NVIDIA RTX professional graphics 12 GB (RTX A2000 class) |
| Plant 3D with ReCap and Navisworks – point clouds, larger models | TERRA Workstation 7500 | NVIDIA RTX professional graphics 16 GB (RTX A4000 class) |
| Large plant models, registration of large scan projects | TERRA Workstation 7890 | High-performance class – specification per project |
Workstations are built to order: we select processor, memory and SSD to match your software and project size. Prices in the quotation – they follow current supplier prices. Graphics cards: professional cards with certified drivers; when the manufacturer changes models, the respective successor model.
What matters
Processor
For many commands Plant 3D and AutoCAD work mainly on a single core – a high clock speed helps more than a very high core count. Many cores help with rendering and point cloud processing.
Memory (RAM)
Large Plant 3D projects and Navisworks models need headroom; for point clouds in ReCap we plan more generously.
Graphics card
Professional cards (NVIDIA RTX) with certified drivers. More graphics memory for point clouds and large Navisworks models.
SSD
Fast NVMe SSD for project and scan data – point clouds quickly take up several hundred gigabytes.
Monitors
Two monitors are standard in plant engineering: model and Project Manager/Data Manager side by side.
Network & server
Network projects need a fast, stable network; for SQL Server projects we advise on the server specification.
