Utilização do software 3D como suporte na elaboração de projetos elétricos de grande porte: estudo de caso em usinas hidreletricas

Abstract

The present study examines the use of SolidWorks 3D software as a support tool in the development of large projects, which are industrial level projects with high complexity and with different specialties involved (plant projects, airports, ports, major industries and etc.). For this work was studied projects of hydroelectric plants, that fit well in this project category. The goal was to minimize the problem of interference between the specialties involved in the project; These interferences are problems encountered in the work, where there are conflicts between the various systems designed. Data collected from Intertechne Company, through your bank data and interviews with employees. The main consequences of the problem of interference identified as high time wasted in project design, material waste, among others. In the analysis, observed improvements in design processes making comparison with the 2D Autocad software such as reducing interference encountered in the work, reduction in project design time, greater precision in material quantitative and improvement in project quality. Financial gains analyzed that the use of 3D software brought to the project. The search result verified the gains related to the problem of consequences such as reducing the time wasted in preparing the project, the total project cost and accuracy of materials quantitative. Time gains were greater than 25% of the total project time and financial were the reduction in the cost of the project from 18% to 23%. With significant gains and the problem of interference minimized, the main objective was achieved.
