Thankyou friend

Thanks my friends

Thank you

Thanks a lot for sharing... we appreciate it

it is good.tks

Hey Thanks a lot Shashi.....Hey Man.... I need your advice..... I want to learn a piping design software.... I am basically a drilling Engineer , I know little bit of AutoCAD, ReO, WellFLO and few other petroleum software...

Now I want learn about Pipline eng< Pl suggest me software which is easy to learn and mostly used in the industry...

This request is open to all other members also.... pl suggest
Regards

Santanu

Thanks

JEETXXP...

You didn't ask me... but... I would recommend you to learn to use:

CADWorx, for Plant Design. Very easy to use... Works using AutoCAD as a platform... and you can download it because it has been shared by users of this forum.

CAESAR II, for Piping Stress Analysis. Leader in the Engineering market and also available in the forum.

They both were developed by COADE, and, since COADE was recently acquired by INTERGRAPH, they will become huge (given the "marketing machinery" of INTERGRAPH) as an alternative for low-cost Plant Design Suite (compared to INTERGRAPH's SmartPlant)

Enjoy

thanks alot

thanks

thnx foe the useful post
