“… We didn’t undertake a 10yr, $150M project just to have a slicker CAD GUI. We did it to accelerate the entire industry …” – Gerhard Sallinger
The value of
Automation …
Process, Power & Marine
Allows quick placement of
multiple objects
No ”higher level” intelligence
Smart 3D solutions only:
Do not require proprietary
macro languages
Added value by inherent
relationships & rules
Design Automation
Process, Power & MarineDesign Automation
Practical Customer Examples ...
Placement of Control Station
Creation of Heat Recovery Steam Generator based on initial
design software calculations via an XML output
Modularization of pipe racks including automatic field weld
placement based on volumes
Automated placement of pipe shoes on a pipe rack
Placement of fuel channels based on a predefined pattern
Importing Line List Data such as pressures & temperatures from an
external system
Process, Power & Marine
Rules defined in reference
data
Automated part selection,
placement & orientation
Automatic re-compute when
changes occur
Ensures design according to
standards & best-practices
Smart 3D solutions are
based on this concept
across all engineering
disciplines ...
Specification- and Rule Driven Design
Process, Power & MarineSpecification and Rule Driven Design
Examples of Rules created using 3D API
Complex Naming Rules
KKS Numbering system
Interference Checking
Customized rules can eliminate large number of false clashes
Example; pipe 50mm or smaller passing through grating is a false clash
Wall Thickness Calculations
Cable Tray Fill Calculations
Process, Power & MarineAutomated Drawing Production
Drawings are ”graphical
reports”
Fully annotated & ready to
use
Automatic detection of
which drawings are
affected by model changes
SmartPlant 3D Examples …
Document Equipments with Trim Piping
Pipe Support Drawings
Process, Power & MarineWorkflow Automation
Example of how a
customer
implemented round
trip workflow for pipe
stress analysis
Custom Command to
place logical supports
Custom Command to
import loads
Custom Library for
pipe support design
Process, Power & MarineAdvanced Automation Capabilities
Example of Advanced Automation Capability
Ad-hoc Rule Checking
Rule checking works like interactive IFC, checking rule violations when
user is not actively working
Rules for checking location, offset, distance between objects can be added
by external programs
User can implement their own Rules using VB. Rules only contain logic
which interprets the Rule Data to determine if rule is violated. User selects
appropriate rule for a given modeling situation.
Process, Power & Marine
Taking rules-based
design to a new level
Enabled by the underlying
data model & software
architecture
Higher level rules with
nested assemblies
Knowledge-Based Engineering
Process, Power & MarineAutomation Benefits Offered by 3D API
SmartPlant 3D offers complete framework for creating custom
commands & standalone applications
Provides same level of functionality available to Intergraph Developers
Supporting functionality;
Common Services – Frees up programmer to focus on command & not
worry about data integrity, change propagation & management, query &
persist data
User Interface – Easy to use ribbon bar with ‘Smart step’ support
Standard controls for Unit Of Measure conversion & display, access to
user preferences, custom menus

Process, Power & MarineGetting Started Today with Automation
Skill set is different than past, strong programming background is
required. However most customers seem to have VB or .NET
expertise
Start with Programming I and II classes ( TSMP4001, TSMP4002)Automation training & consulting is available on request
Several Customers are using automation today
Automation helps SmartPlant 3D on new projects
Customer Training Classes to be offered through end of the year
Automation Class in Japan August 2008
Automation Class in Canada September 2008
Contacts in HSV for all automation related questions;
