Parametric Pipe Supports Plugin

Mirza Solutions

Adds intelligent parametric piping supports to Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D™, enabling faster, standards-based support modeling with automatic sizing and customization.

$149.00

The Parametric Piping Supports Plugin by Mirza Solutions has been developed in response to valuable user feedback and real-world engineering requirements. While the native Autodesk® AutoCAD® Plant 3D™ support library provides a range of standard support types, industrial projects frequently require additional, specialized, and application-specific support configurations that extend beyond the default catalog. This plugin bridges that gap by introducing an extensive collection of practical support designs tailored to modern industrial piping systems.

The support geometries are developed in accordance with relevant ASTM standards and established industry practices. Powered by Python-based parametric modeling, each support can be intelligently adjusted to accommodate varying pipe sizes, elevations, and project-specific design requirements, providing engineers with the flexibility needed for efficient plant design.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with AutoCAD Plant 3D, the plugin preserves the application's native workflows, specifications, and project settings while extending its support capabilities. Engineers can rapidly place and customize piping supports without disrupting their existing design process, resulting in improved productivity, greater modeling accuracy, and more consistent project deliverables.

With the Parametric Piping Supports Plugin, Mirza Solutions delivers a powerful extension that enhances piping support design, improves model visualization, reduces repetitive modeling effort, and helps engineers produce standards-compliant piping systems with confidence within the familiar AutoCAD Plant 3D environment.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard Design and Make Marketplace).

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The installation does not alter your system in any way. It simply copies the required files into your content folder.

Most known issues in the software arise from insufficient privileges, so please run Plant 3D and Specs Editor in Administrator mode. Also, given the code complexity for creating ventilated tray and wire mesh components, it may take a while for components to load, so wait patiently. The bigger the component size, the longer the wait will be. However, these can be avoided if the user's system has higher physical memory (RAM). The code is written for 16 GB RAM capacity as a minimum, which matches the minimum requirements of Plant 3D 202x with which the app is compatible.
