Plant design and engineering datamanagement solutions

Cadmatic plant design and engineering

data management solutions are used in a

wide range of industries and for a wide

range of projects. Our software development

has always centered around creating

software that suits the needs of plant

des igne r s, p lan t owner s, p lan t

operators/maintenance staff as well as

constructors and suppliers. The versatile

software is designed to make your work

easier and more efficient.

Cadmatic forplant designers

Designers have amongst others appreciated

the powerful and user-friendly design tools

that improve engineering and design quality.

Routine tasks are performed automatically

and reliably with automated document

production. The 3D models are easy to edit

and are furthermore smoothly linked to other

software applications, furthering Cadmatic�s

scope of application.

An intelligent two-directional link between

process diagrams and the 3D model means

that changes are reliably updated.

Specification-driven and pipeline-based

routing as well as the automatic selection

of materials and connector types are some

of the features that ease engineering and

allow engineers to concentrate on design

rather than on laborious routine tasks.

Cadmatic forPlant Owners/Investors

The advanced design features of Cadmatic

and its concurrent and distributed design

capabilities result in shorter delivery times

with reduced investment costs and

design hours while at the same time

ensuring higher quality design.

Owners and investors can use

Cadmatic�s project review and

communication tool, the

eBrowser, to gain greater

control over project develop-

ments. Plant visualizations and

reviews are made easy and ef-

fective with access to the latest design

information. Co-operation and communica-

tion between the owner and other project

partners is greatly improved in this way. As

Cadmatic is used throughout the entire life

cycle of the plant investment the owner can

effectively manage the whole process from

pre-design to operation and maintenance

with the help of eBrowser.

Cadmatic for operation andmaintenance staff

Cadmatic can be used effectively during

the commissioning and operational phases

of the plant. Plant operators and main-

tenance staff can receive training with the

3D visualization tools even before the plant

is completed. The engineering database

and 3D model can be integrated with plant

maintenance management system and

thereafter the 3D model can be used as an

information database and maintenance

scheduler. Information can easily be updated

in the model thereby replacing the tedious

and inaccurate paper trails of former

systems.

Cadmatic forsuppliers and constructors

Cadmatic is designed for error-free produc-

tion and the maximization of prefabrication.

High quality production data such as digital

information for numerically controlled work-

shop devices including cutters, bending

machines and welding robots is produced.

Suppliers and constructors receive accurate

production information that can immediately

be used for construction,

prefabrication and instal-

lation. This cuts out time

consuming er rors

leading to faster

product ion and

shor ter bui lding

times.

Plant reviews and inspections are made easy with thevirtual walkaround function in eBrowser to check layout,components, systems, measurements etc in 3D.

Cadmatic is interfaced with leading maintenancesoftware systems allowing it to be used as an informationdatabase and maintenance scheduler.

Cadmatic provides powerful and user-friendly designtools that improve engineering quality while automatingroutine tasks.

3D model linked with process diagrams

Cadmatic features an intelligent two-directional

intergration between process diagrams and the 3D

model. P&IDs as well as intelligent symbols are

linked to the database and 3D model. The link

manages changes in the process and plant design.

3D Model is the interfaceto all engineering information

The Cadmatic 3D model comprises all components,

including machines, equipment, pipelines, piping

supports, ducts, cable trays and steel and concrete

structures. The interface ensures a smooth

changeover from 2D design to 3D modelling. The

system has automatic collision control and data

updates between designers.

Specification-driven / pipeline based routing

Cadmatic piping design is based on specification-

driven and pipeline-based routing. The system

automatically selects the materials and correct

connector types. Once the designer has defined

the routes, the routing proceeds without interruptios

in a quick and accurate manner.

Changes managed by the system

Cadmatic 3D models, layout and piping geometry

are very easy to edit, and it is possible to begin the

design work by using preliminary data. Controlled

system updates to documentation ensure that doc-

umentation is always up-to-date.

Easy point-cloud importation

Laser-scanned point clouds can be directly imported

and there are tools for locating, orientating and

moving them. There are also tools to handle outside

view loaded pointclouds and high intensity

visualization.

Automated pipe isometric splitting andisometric annotation

Cadmatic has automated splitting of geometries

into isometric sheets and the process can be

configured with splitting rules. Isomertric measuring

and labeling annotations are fully automated.............

Automated documentation

Documents are intelligently integrated with the 3D

model and design database and are generated

automatically. Isometric pipeline drawings are

dimensioned and labeled automatically. Plan, section,

Concurrent anddistributed design

Cadmatic offers advanced solutions to

shorten the time required by design and to

cut down the design costs by distributing

the project to be carried out to locations

that provide the best performance and cost

efficiency.

The planning and implementation of a

plant investment involve a number of parties:

the plant owner or operator, equipment

supplier, design and consulting offices,

subcontractors etc. These parties have

traditionally generated and stored 3D models

and documents independently in several

dif ferent physical locations before

transferring the data. This however often

results in uncertainty regarding the accuracy

or validity of the design data.

This is avoided by the Cadmatic data-

base-centric client server system where the

3D model and documents are all stored in

databases hosted by a database server. It

is therefore easy to divide design work

globally between several design offices with

server replication and the addition of new

design teams being reduced to a few mouse

clicks. In a globally distributed project the

data is updated between remote design

sites via an online network connection such

as the internet or by simply exchanging the

file in an email attachment.

Connecting project partnersthrough the Internet - eBrowser

The eBrowser application allows the easy

sharing of 3D project information between

designers, project management, plant

owners and sub-contractors. It is a data

publishing tool that is easy to use and no

special training is required. The use of smart

visualization techniques make the 3D models

very light thereby making it easier to

distribute them to all parties.

The eBrowser file containing the latest

design information can be distributed to all

project par tners with ease. Vir tual

walkarounds facilitate plant inspections and

reviews. All of this can be conducted with

the safe knowledge that all the latest design

information is included in the single model.

All sections and systems of the plant

can be visualized as a whole or in isolation.

Component data retrieval is effortless in the

eBrowser. By simply clicking on an object

in the model its position code, pipeline code,

material dimensions, standards and other

details are immediately available. These

features combine to form the ideal platform

for excellent partner co-operation and

information exchange.

The most efficient system for distributeddesign on the market today

In eBrowser a simple mouse click on an object revealsposition code, pipeline code, material dimensions etc.You can follow a pipeline to check the valve locations,walk along a service platform or ensure that thepassages are high and wide enough etc.

All 3D models and documents are stored a singledatabase, making it easy to distribute design workglobally while maintaining information integrity,compatibility and project control.

Cadmatic CoDesigner enables efficient and concurrentdesign. The easy check in/check out feature ensuresthat only one designer can modify an object at anygiven time.

Cadmatic

Open system facilitates links to otherengineering software packages

A central principle that guides software

development at Cadmatic is design and

data management solutions that encompass

all stages of a plant investment, the so-

called plant investment life cycle. The

software scope covers areas from basic

and process design to detailed design

through to prefabrication/construction,

commiss ion ing and operat ion &

maintenance. The aim is to integrate

databases into a single, controllable entity

that is available for all users at all times. The

Cadmatic 3D model and design database

constitute an efficient project databank.

Integrated data management guarantees

that all data entered into the design systems

will be accessible at subsequent stages of

the design project.

Process anddetailed design

All data entered in the various software

modules during the design stages are

included in databases, making the

information available to all users. The data

generated during the process planning and

entered into process diagrams can be used

in detailed plant design and 3D modelling

etc. For the purpose of change management

between process planning and plant design,

the sof tware features a specia l

communication mechanism that alerts the

system to any changes that have been

made.

Prefabrication, manufacturingand installation

At the construction site, the Cadmatic 3D

model and design database are used by

the installation staff and supervisors. All

engineering details necessary for the

installation work are readily at hand in the

plant model, which allows easy reproduction

of addit ional data to suppor t the

manufacture, installation and supervisory

functions.

The detailed Cadmatic 3D model

supports extensive use of prefabricated

units in the manufacture and installation,

thus contributing to reduced project time

and costs. Possible as-built changes are

made directly in the 3D model at the site.

Commissioning

During the commissioning of the plant, the

Cadmatic 3D model and design database

are utilized for operator and maintenance

staff training. In addition to process

diagrams, it is possible to visualize various

processes and systems and to conduct

virtual checks with regards the operation

and maintenance locations.

Operation and maintenace

The Cadmatic 3D model and design

database can be integrated into the

maintenance and document management

systems of the plant. Maintenance

procedures become more efficient and the

accuracy of the data is guaranteed. Manuals

and related documents are stored in the 3D

model and can easily be accessed at any

time by the staff. Operator and maintenance

staff training can take place long before the

plant is in operation with the help of

Cadmatic�s virtual walkaround feature in the

Cadmatic eBrowser.

Software applications for the entire plantinvestment life cycle

Data generated during process planning as containedin P&ID diagrams is used in detailed plant design and3D modelling.

With Cadmatic operator and maintenance staff trainingcan begin long before the plant is in operation.

Accurate production data results in error-free manu-facturing and shorter construction and installation timewith reduced costs.

Cadmatic generates high quality production data suchas digital information for numerically controlledworkshop devices including bending machines, cuttersand welding robots.

Cadmatic�s cost and time saving design quality and efficiency is present at all plant investmentphases, from process and detailed engineering, manufacture and installation, commissioningup to maintenance and operation.

Cadmatic Diagram

Cadmatic Diagram is an integrated computer-

aided design system for flow diagram and

P&ID design that uses a common master

database.

Information flow from piping diagrams to

later design phases (Plant Modeller and Pipe)

is assured by the full integration of the

modules. Documentation for different piping

and instrumentation diagrams, equipment

lists, pipeline lists, valve lists etc. are

produced. Intelligent symbols, unlimited

process size, control of revisions and

advanced database management with user-

definable repor t generator and script

language are just some of the features of the

Diagram module.

Diagram can be used independently or

with Plant Modeller and it can be interfaced

with calculation software packages.

Cadmatic Plant Modeller

Cadmatic Plant Modeller is an integrated,

database-driven design module for 3D layout,

piping-, HVAC- and structural design of plants

in shaded and colored views.

Documentation such as layout-, piping-,

HVAC- and structural drawings, is

automatically produced. Plant Modeller uses

a unique 3D viewing technique to allow the

designer to ef ficiently change from

conventional work methods to computer

model design. Plant Modeller includes

collision detection, shading and walk-around

and its 3D modelling is among the fastest on

the market. Plant Modeller has advanced

database management with user-definable

repor t generator and powerful macro

language. It includes an interactive

component modeller and special features

such as tank design for example. Plant

Modeller can be used independently or with

the Diagram and Pipe modules.

Cadmatic Modular approach gives

the user a freedom of customization

Cadmatic Pipe

Cadmatic Pipe efficiently produces all the

required isometric and spool drawings and

material take-offs in the manufacture and

installation of piping.

Completed drawings (isometrics, spools,

material take-offs) are produced automatically

from the 3D model. The flexible and

cus tomizable P ipe modu le takes

manufacturing technology into account. Data

for bending machines and o ther

manufacturing parameters can for example

be added to the database. Pipe outputs

manufacturing information such as cutting

lists, surface treatment, welds, total weight

and center of gravity.

Pipe Support Designer

Cadmatic Pipe Support Designer makes

modelling of primary and secondary piping-

, ducting- and cable tray supports very easy

and fast.

It creates exact production drawings of

supports. The designer simply inputs the

location of the supports and the drawings

are automatically produced. The dimensions

of primary and secondary supports based

on the pipe dimensions are also automatically

created.

eBrowser

The Cadmatic eBrowser enables effective

communication between all parties involved

in design projects by linking partners through

the internet.

Designers, engineers, subcontractors and

end clients are linked to a mutual 3D model

allowing easy and concurrent project reviews,

facilitated by the ability to virtually walk around

the design area and access all design data.

The eBrowser is a useful maintenance and

project follow-up tool as it provides easy

access to equipment-, pipeline- and

instrumentation data by clicking on objects

viewed in the eBrowser. Measurements can

be taken in the plant 3D model and systems

and objects can be located, visualized and

isolated in the model with full linkage to related

databases and documents.

Cadmatic CoDesigner

Cadmatic CoDesigner enables concurrent

project design work from several different

locations. Cadmatic users are able to utilize

the best resources around the world which

substantially saves time and money.

CoDesigner makes it possible to add new

design teams to a project with a few clicks.

All object data is accessed via a check

in/check out procedure that guarantees that

only one designer can modify the same object

at any given time. In a distributed project data

is updated between the remote design sites

via an on-line network connection such as

the Internet. A new distributed project site is

easily set up with the module's interactive

tools.
