3D Plant DesignSoftware
Plant design and engineeringdata management 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 effec-
tively 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
maintenance 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 informat ion 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, pre-
fabrication and in-
stallation. This cuts
out time consuming
errors leading to
faster production and
shorter building times.
3 D P L A N T D E S I G N S O F T W A R E
Plant reviews and inspections are made easy with thevirtual walkaround function in eBrowser to check layout,components, systems, measurements etc in 3D.

Cadmatic was developed with all project partners in mind. The work of designers, EPC�s, plantowners, plant operators, constructors and suppliers as well as maintenance and operation staffhas been made easier and more efficient with Cadmatic.
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 entireplant investment life cycle
3 D P L A N T D E S I G N S O F T W A R E
Data generated during process planning as containedby P&ID diagrams is used in detailed plant designand 3D modelling.
With Cadmatic operator and maintenance staff trainingcan begin long before the plant is in operation.
Accurate production data results in error freemanufacturing and shorter construction and installationtime with 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.

Efficient tools forprocess plant design
Cadmatic provides efficient tools for all
stages of the process and plant design.
The system�s specification driven design is
based on user-defined design rules,
standards and pipe classifications.
Intelligent integrationsbetween process diagrams
and 3D model
Cadmatic�s plant design software features
an intelligent two-directional intergration
between the process diagrams and the 3D
model. Process and instrument diagrams
(P&IDs), as well as intelligent symbols are
linked to the database and the 3D model.
The link keeps track of and manages
changes in the process and plant design.
3D Model actsas interfacte to all engineering
information
The Cadmatic 3D model comprises all
components, including machines and
equipment, pipelines and piping supports,
ducts, cable trays, as well as steel and
concrete structures.
Cadmatic�s user interface for 3D
modelling is extremely easy to use. The user
can smoothly change over from the
traditional 2D design to 3D modelling.
The system provides automatic collision
control and data updates between
designers.
Specification-driven andpipeline based routing
Cadmatic piping design is based on
s�pecification-driven and pipeline-based
routing. The system automatically selects
the appropriate materials and correct
connector types. Once the designer has
defined the routes, the routing proceeds
quickly and accurately. Unlike in many other
systems, there is no need to assemble the
pipeline piece by piece, but the system is
capable of selecting the components
automatically without interrupting the routing
process.
Changes managedby the system
Cadmatic features easy-to-use and efficient
tools for the management of changes. The
existing 3D models are easy to edit, and it
is possible to begin the design work by
using preliminary data. Layout and piping
geometry are also easy to edit. The system
updates documentation in a controlled man-
ner, ensuring that the project documentation
is always complete and up-to-date.

AutoCad 2D Integrations
For the export and import of 2D drawings
from/to Cadmatic there is an intellingent
module for dwg, dxf and dwf formats. High
quality AutoCAD drawings automatically
include interactive hyperlinks between
AutoCAD 2D symbols and Cadmatic 3D
objects. By clicking for example on valves,
equipment or instrument symbols at the
AutoCAD level, Cadmatic eBrowser imme-
diately visualizes the location and provides
the required object data. This can be done
the other way round as well.
AutoCad 3D Integrations
AutoCad 3D models can be directly
imported and exported with Cadmatic
eXchanger.
There are a large number of file transfer
plugins to AutoCAD. This enables compati-
bility with dif ferent formats enabling
Cadmatic users to transfer models from and
to other CAD software applications, such
as Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor and Catia.
Point-clouds importeddirectly into Cadmatic
Laser-scanned point clouds can be directly
imported into Cadmatic. There are modern
tools locating, orientating and moving point-
clouds. These include tools to handle outside
view loaded point-clouds and high intensity
visualization.
Automated pipe isometric splittingand isometric annotation
Cadmatic has automated splitting of
geometries into isometric sheets and the
process can be configured with splitting
rules. Annotations with regards measuring
and labeling of isometrics are fully
automated.
Automated documentation
Documentation is integrated with the
Cadmatic 3D model and design database
in an intelligent manner. All documents are
generated automatically and without further
effort from the 3D model. Isometric pipeline
drawings are dimensioned and labeled
automatically. Plan, section and axonometric
drawings, as well as different system-
specific drawings of a desired area are
easily produced. Labels, axes and other
details are inserted automatically....................
Powerful and user-friendly design tools allow designers to focus on design quality.Cadmatic automates routine tasks and provides maximum guidance with specification-driven design, while maintaining data integrity throughout the design process.
Open system facilitateslinks to other systems
Cadmatic�s open architecture with its simple
and standardized interfaces, ensures
smooth links between other applications
and Cadmatic�s software and databases.
Cadmatic�s macro language enable users
to configure the software to meet specific
needs. Cadmatic can create special

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.
