2 3 D P L A N T D E S I G N S O F T W A R E Plant design and engineering data 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 designers, plant owners, plant operators/maintenance staff as well as constructors and suppliers. The versatile software is designed to make your work easier and more efficient. Cadmatic for plant 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 for Plant 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 developments. Plant visualizations and reviews are made easy and effective with access to the latest design information. Co-operation and communication 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 effectively manage the whole process from predesign to operation and maintenance with the help of ebrowser. Cadmatic for operation and maintenance 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 information database and maintenance scheduler. Information can easily be updated in the model thereby replacing the tedious and inaccurate paper trails of former systems. Cadmatic for suppliers and constructors Cadmatic is designed for error free production and the maximization of prefabrication. High quality production data such as digital information for numerically controlled workshop devices including cutters, bending machines and welding robots is produced. Suppliers and constructors receive accurate production information that can immediately be used for construction, prefabrication and installation. This cuts out time consuming errors leading to faster production and shorter building times. Cadmatic provides powerful and user-friendly design tools that improve engineering quality while automating routine tasks. Plant reviews and inspections are made easy with the virtual walkaround function in ebrowser to check layout, components, systems, measurements etc in 3D. Cadmatic is interfaced with leading maintenance software systems allowing it to be used as an information database and maintenance scheduler.

3 Cadmatic was developed with all project partners in mind. The work of designers, EPC s, plant owners, plant operators, constructors and suppliers as well as maintenance and operation staff has been made easier and more efficient with Cadmatic.

4 3 D P L A N T D E S I G N S O F T W A R E Software applications for the entire plant investment life cycle A central principle that guides software development at Cadmatic is design and data management solutions that encompass all stages of a plant investment, the socalled plant investment life cycle. The software scope covers areas from basic and process design to detailed design through to prefabrication/construction, commissioning and operation & 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 and detailed 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 software features a special communication mechanism that alerts the system to any changes that have been made. Prefabrication, manufacturing and 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 additional data to support 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. Data generated during process planning as contained by P&ID diagrams is used in detailed plant design and 3D modelling. Accurate production data results in error free manufacturing and shorter construction and installation time with reduced costs. Cadmatic generates high quality production data such as digital information for numerically controlled workshop devices including bending machines, cutters and welding robots. With Cadmatic operator and maintenance staff training can begin long before the plant is in operation.

8 3 D P L A N T D E S I G N S O F T W A R E World Wide Engineering - The most efficient system for distributed design on the market Concurrent and Distributed 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 different 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 database-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 attachment. Connecting Project Partners Through 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 partners with ease. Virtual 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. All 3D models and documents are stored a single database, making it easy to distribute design work globally while maintaining information integrity, compatibility and project control. Cadmatic CoDesigner enables efficient and concurrent design. The easy check in/check out feature ensures that only one designer can modify an object at any given time. PLANT OWNER DESIGNERS CONSULTANTS CONTRACTORS MAINTENANCE SUPPLIERS In ebrowser a simple mouse click on an object reveals position code, pipeline code, material dimensions etc. You can follow a pipeline to check the valve locations, walk along a service platform or ensure that the passages are high and wide enough etc. Cadmatic ebrowser enables the easy and efficient sharing of 3D project information between designers, projcet management, plant owners and sub-contractors
