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.

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


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


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.

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


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.

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.

World Wide Engineering -The most efficient system for

distributed design on the market


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.
