New 3D environment doubles productivity for trench and sloping ditch design

摘要

Intergraph~® Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) has released a new Task Based Modelling Environment for Civil Design as part of Intergraph Smart™ 3D. The Civil Task includes next-generation 3D design capabilities for electrical and piping trenches, as well as sloping ditches. This new Task was developed in joint collaboration with leading global engineering companies. The main partner was Technip, with its France office developing specifications, and with Technip Malaysia who has been using the new environment in a project since June 2015. The Civil Task answers the market demand for a civil engineering application enabling routing and dynamic modification of ditches and trenches through a complex sequence of changing: elevations, transitions, materials and branching needs. The environment includes a set of placement methods to accommodate electrical cables, layers of piping and various fluid types. In addition, the Civil Task provides downstream integration to other SmartPlant~® solutions, ensuring information integrity and reuse for all disciplines.
