Summary (3D SymbolDesigner)

➢ Automatic creation of

– Excel bulkload sheets

– Visual Basic source code

– Symbol documentation

➢ 80% reduction in man-hours for the creation of symbols when compared against manual coding

➢ Visual Basic knowledge is only required for production of hanger & support assemblies

– 3D SymbolDesigner still saves up to 50% of the man-hours needed for manual programming

29

Challenges (SpecXpert)

➢ Regenerate bulkload files based on the actual Smart 3D catalogue content

➢ Synchronise catalogues/bulkload files (e.g. from different source systems, dates)

➢ Do placement tests: all spec components need to be physically placed in Smart 3D and checked for errors

Feature A: Extract bulkload files from S3D

➢ Workbooks available for:– Pipe specs and parts

– Codelists

– Generic data

– Plant options & rules

– Insulation data

– Pipe bending data

32

Feature B: Compare bulkload files

➢ Compare two sets of bulkload files from various sources:

– manually written

– exported from SmartPlant Reference Data

– exported from in-house material management systems

– extracted from the Smart 3D catalogue using SpecXpert

– etc.

➢ Create delta-bulkload file(s)

– loadable by the Intergraph Bulkload Utility

– containing A-M-D (add, modify, delete) rows

➢ Synchronize Smart 3D catalogue with delta-bulkload file(s)

33

Feature B: Compare bulkload files

34

Feature C: Place/check pipe spec parts

35

Summary (SpecXpert)

➢ Use SpecXpert to

– extract piping bulkload files from the Smart 3D catalogue

• e.g. to examine, modify and load back the data into the Smart 3D catalogue

• e.g. to use the extracted data for other projects (Smart 3D catalogues)

• e.g. to create subsets for EPCs and subcontractors

• e.g. to protect your IP: only the required pipe spec and part data may be extracted

– create delta- bulkload files for Smart 3D catalogue synchronization by comparision of two sets of bulkload files from various sources

– check pipe specs by placing of pipe spec parts in a selected Smart 3D plant

36

Benefits (SpecXpert)

➢ Simple to use with a few clicks to create or compare bulkload files and to place parts of selected pipe spec(s) in a Smart 3D plant

➢ 100% data consistency between extracted piping bulkload files and content of Smart 3D catalogue

➢ Comprehensive quality assurance check for all parts of Smart 3D pipe specs

➢ Reuse of exported and modified bulkload files. Flexible transfer of pipe specs to other Smart 3D catalogues or to partners and suppliers

48

Summary (PlantReModeller)

➢ Rapid delivery of the imported model. The end-to-end process is much faster than any other method currently available.

➢ Delivery of a fully intelligent model that can be edited and further developed

➢ Re-use of engineering is enabled through the ability to select parts of a model for import
