Metso has engineered a very dynamic software called the RapidDraw3D Valve Model Generator. This software is going to be anything but a valve and piping design engineers favourite. The RapidDraw3D allows users to quickly create realistic, to-scale, 3D valve assemblies and export them to any CAD program format at the users end for use in plant piping diagrams. The user can always come back and modify the file created as it remains on the RapidDraw3D server for upto 90days. Bruce Weetherbee, Metso’s Sr. Engineering Manager describes the unique feature of this dynamic software as "Drawing simple boxes to represent sophisticated valve assemblies in the CAD program leaves a lot of unanswered questions, such as Which components? What’s the scale? Where are the electric, air, or pneumatic connections? RapidDraw3D is a better solution that assures that these important questions are clearly answered." The RapidDraw3D is user friendly, simply choose the desired Metso valve and actuator. RapidDraw3D automatically displays the linkage available for that combination, allowing the user to then specify the orientation of the actuator and pick accessories such as positioners, solenoids, etc. Metso has gone one step ahead with this free innovative RapidDraw3D software making it easier for piping and design engineers to choose Metso flow and automation products ahead of the rest.
