The 3.1 series introduced several foundational modules that 3.1.6 continues to refine:
Elements >100km from origin require a MAP CHECK/BUILD in newer versions AVEVA E3D Design 3.1.10 Release Notes
is a significant update within the 3.1 series of AVEVA’s flagship 3D design solution. Tailored for the process plant , marine , and power industries, this version focuses on enhancing project execution speed and multi-discipline collaboration. aveva e3d 3.1.6
: This allows for the creation of functional, space, and area arrangements. It enables 3D coordination by providing volumetric representations for ships or plants, facilitating mass property calculations like weight and volume directly from the model.
: Multi-user, concurrent access ensures that global teams can work on a single source of truth, minimizing design clashes. 3.1.6 represents a stable
: Native support for point cloud data through LFM technology allows designers to work in a "Trusted Living Point Cloud" environment. 3.1.6 specifically addresses performance with high-density datasets , allowing users to toggle between intensity and color rendering.
As of May 2026, 3.1.6 represents a stable, mature iteration of the 3.1 platform, integrating advanced lean construction principles and high-fidelity visualization into the engineering workflow. Key Capabilities of the 3.1.6 Platform mature iteration of the 3.1 platform
: Primarily for marine projects , this module supports importing/exporting surfaces in formats like IGES, SAT, and STEP. It includes tools for quality assessment and repair of surfaces transferred from third-party applications.
: Updates include tools to simplify MCAD models by removing small holes or parts to reduce file size and improve system performance. Implementation and System Requirements
AVEVA E3D 3.1.6 prioritizes an intuitive, ribbon-style user interface that reduces the learning curve compared to older systems like PDMS.
