INTERGRAPH SMART™ 3D
CHANGING THE WAY PLANT, MARINE, AND
MATERIALS HANDLING FACILITIES ARE
ENGINEERED AND DESIGNED
A fundamental component of Intergraph’s SmartPlant Enterprise,
Intergraph Smart 3D provides all of the capabilities needed to
design plant, marine, and materials handling facilities, and then
maintain their 3D “as-built” representations. Take advantage
of data-centric technology, a strong rules- and relationship-
Today’s global, fast-track projects require engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies to effectively manage
cost and schedule on complex initiatives involving multiple
design centers worldwide. It is a paramount business concern
that intellectual property remain secure and that “best practice”
design information be preserved for reuse on future projects.
Enforced Design Rules Increase Data Quality and Ensure
Design Integrity
Likewise, owner operators (O/Os) must employ both in-house
and off-site resources for greenfield, revamp, and maintenance
projects. They also require the ability to establish and reuse
”corporate standard modules” to streamline projects moving forward, while also continuing to preserve the as-built plant models
for ongoing support of plant operation and maintenance.
Intergraph Smart™ 3D – a next generation, data-centric, and
rule-driven solution – is specifically designed to deliver these
mission-critical requirements. Breaking through barriers imposed
by traditional technologies to enable a truly iterative design environment, Smart 3D provides a competitive edge to EPCs and
O/Os alike. The solution:
•tIntegrates engineering data across the enterprise. Smart 3D
supports data interchange with complementary tools includ-
based architecture, customized automation capabilities, and an
integrated reuse approach to execute even the largest and most
complex projects with centralized visibility and control.
Intergraph® Smart 3D ensures design accuracy and consistency
through the enforcement of design rules. Smart 3D reduces design errors, minimizes engineering changes, and cuts down on
rework. Design rule enforcement increases project quality and
reliability by enabling faster and more efficient creation, transfer,
and review of design iterations. All project participants can make
informed and timely decisions throughout the project.
Smart 3D provides tools for the continuous monitoring of design
rules and notification of the impacts of change throughout a
project’s design phase. Downstream impacts to drawings resulting from engineering changes are also trapped and notification
provided in real-time. This further ensures that packages
transmitted to procurement and the field always represent the
latest and most accurate information.

Design Reuse for a Competitive Edge
Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant Electrical, and
Capturing new and existing design knowledge so it can be
saved and reused on future projects represents a key competitive edge in today’s fast-moving global economy. Smart 3D
preserves the integrity of design data and enables reuse for
future projects based on existing designs. This preservation of
your corporate knowledge provides the ideal mix of continuity
and innovation in engineering design for current as well as successive projects.
SmartPlant Materials.
•tProvides unparalleled ease of use, minimizing the learning
curve for increased user productivity.
•tShortens project schedules by enabling streamlined design
processes for a wide scope of disciplines and workflows.
•tFacilitates global, concurrent engineering, allowing contractors
to manage and execute projects worldwide.
•tCaptures new and existing engineering knowledge so that it
can be saved and reused, a key to success in today’s competitive global economy.
This not only reduces future project costs, but it also compresses project timelines through better management of engineering
data. The opportunity to “learn” from other projects and apply
this knowledge in the future is a marked improvement over existing design systems.
