Interactive models of substations, power plants, LNG facilities, refineries, offshore platforms, data centers and communication towers, plus trainers for BIM management, CAD design and engineering fundamentals. Click any part to see what it is and what it does, open the drawings linked to the model, and work through the training tools each trainer offers. Everything runs in the browser.
Generic facilities modeled on typical US practice. For training only, not for design or construction.
Every model is generic: no real plants, owners or project names. Each trainer opens on its own site.
14 typical US substations
Equipment, linked drawings, protection and control, switching practice and visitor safety.
Layout tool, screening level
Build a substation in 3D from a template, a generated arrangement or a laser scan, then generate drawings, DXF files, a bill of materials and schedules. Outputs are screening level and not PE-sealed.
Generic 2×1 F-class gas plant, 345 kV switchyard
Two gas turbines, two heat recovery steam generators, a reheat steam turbine, a cooling tower and a breaker-and-a-half switchyard, with linked drawings.
Generic advanced passive PWR, about 1,100 MWe
Buildings and equipment, the switchyard and offsite power, linked drawings and switching practice.
5 generic US LNG facilities
A truck-fed satellite, a fueling station, a peak-shaving plant, and ship import and export terminals.
Generic US Gulf Coast refinery
One process unit at a time: equipment, piping, instruments, electrical and drawings linked to the model.
2 Gulf of Mexico platforms: fixed jacket and TLP
A fixed jacket in about 300 ft of water and a tension leg platform in about 3,000 ft: wells, process and power systems, and linked drawings.
8 typical US data centers, 60 kW to 117 MW IT
From an edge module to a hyperscale campus: utility service to rack, cooling, white space and fire protection, sized from a written basis of design.
5 generic tower sites, 120 ft monopole to 2,000 ft guyed mast
A city monopole, a self-supporting lattice tower, a public-safety guyed mast, a broadcast mast and a concrete broadcast tower: antennas and mounts, site power, grounding and linked drawings.
Generic manufacturing facility, federated model
A manufacturing hall, a warehouse, a two-story office and the site, split into discipline models on shared levels and grids. Covers coordination, clash tests, model checks, schedules, 4D, 5D, COBie and IFC handover.
101 CAD packages, 85 drawing types, 9 disciplines
Learn a package from a blank screen, work through each drawing type and the standards behind it, translate commands between packages, and prepare for drafting, design and CAD admin interviews. Independent of every software vendor, and not a certification.
Reference and training, high school to PE level
Formulas with sources, worked examples, interactive labs, generated practice problems and concept checks. Current tracks: units and estimation, algebra and trigonometry, vectors, statics and DC circuits. Not accredited and not affiliated with any exam or licensing board.
Tools differ by trainer, and some are still being built. Each trainer shows the ones it has under Learn.
Steel comes from published shape tables. Pipe, flanges, conduit and cable tray use catalog dimensions. In the electrical trainers, phase spacing and live-part heights follow the voltage class.
Where no public source fixes a number, such as a rating or a process condition, the trainer labels it as a model value instead of presenting it as fact.
Use them to bring new hires up to speed on how a facility fits together and what each part is called.

Editions differ by trainer. Each trainer’s About page lists the ones it uses.
Ask about team access for your company, a model of a facility type that isn’t here yet, or anything in one of the trainers.
For team access, say how many people and which trainers, and the reply will lay out the options.
