Besides the high costs of last-minute modifications, late modifications also bear risks, such as
area classification errors, improper documentation and tracking. By nature, late modifications
convert an as-designed plant into an as-built
plant, bringing in all sorts of new risks.
GS: Rules-based design can save engineering time and increase design accuracy. For
example, it can ensure that safety-related
design rules are properly applied and can only
be modified with proper authorization.
And there is much more to come. We are committed to helping increase facility safety for the
industry with innovative solutions!

GexCon FLACS
Now, to meet the growing safety demands of
todays design engineers and plant owners,
Intergraph has interfaced its Smart 3D and
design software with GexCons FLACS explosion
analysis software to enable users to visualize
impacts and ensure that equipment is placed correctly and that structures are able to withstand
an incident such as an explosion. FLACS has
been the leading tool for explosion consequence
prediction on offshore oil and gas installations
for more than a decade.
Ideal for chemical, metals, oil and gas, pulp,
power and other plants involved in the handling
or manufacturing of explosive or flammable
materials or pressurized liquids and gases, the
safety management software configuration
reduces design and component placement errors
that later must be corrected during construction.

Asian outlook
Chematurs business in Asia particularly China
is increasing rapidly. For a company that is used to
deploying and controlling key technologies that add
value for the industries it serves, the worlds fastest
growing market offers unique opportunities.
Construction and installation data can be generated more quickly, too. An earlier construction
kickoff means we can start the plant up earlier
for the customer, Andersson says.
Plant payback
In all of its chosen markets, Chematur expects
that having faster, more reliable access to project
data and the ability to perform concurrent engineering and reuse data will reduce engineering
labor hours by 20 percent.
Having more accurate and consistent data should
cut on-site rework by 10 to 15 percent, according
to Chematur calculations.

modest improvement in this area can yield tangible reductions in direct labor costs. Given the
high potential for delivering savings to all users,
Intergraph made significant investments in this
initiative. Projects deploying Smart 3D will reap
the benefit of these investments.
The graphics performance of Smart 3D has also
been enhanced. This improvement also promises
direct impact to a projects bottom line, potentially
impacting a broad set of users. These performance
improvements are achieved by fully leveraging the
processing power of the graphics adapter installed
in the workstation running the software.
If project management determines that maximum graphics performance is highly desired on
all or a portion of the 3D design workstations,
higher-end graphics cards can be installed in
those machines. Simply put, an investment by
the project in higher-end hardware will result in
a direct payback in the form of improved user
experience and design efficiency.
The improvements to Smart 3Ds graphic performance are impressive. Users of prior versions
will immediately notice improved responsiveness during refresh-intensive operations such
as pan and rotate. Users running high-end
graphics cards will be particularly pleased.
For example, Smart 3Ds View Navigation Control
is a new command panel which enables traversal
of the model graphics in much the same way as a
typical walk-through or shooter-type video
game. A variety of commands can be invoked
graphically, including pan, zoom, fit and fly.

PROJECT 1
PROJECT 2
Once the duct bank has been modeled, the conduits created within it are ready to accept Smart
3D cables. Most importantly, the entire cableway network encasement (or naked trench),
conduits and contained cables are all fully
intelligent and are easily modified in response to
subsequent changes on the project while maintaining key relationships to one another.
As a result, the data driving MTO reports for the
cable and conduit, civil drawings for the duct
bank, and cable route information sent to other
applications like SmartPlant Electrical through
the SmartPlant Enterprise are instantly updated
along with the move or other modifications.
Another feature included in the latest release is
accounting for divided trays when auto-routing
cable and making tray-fill calculations. When a
tray divider is inserted into a tray, the software
will recognize the position and allocate space
accordingly. Separate channels are subsequently used by the cable routing algorithm
in determining available space as well as the
allowable signal type (which can be set differently across the divider).
In addition to being modified to account for
tray dividers, the automated cable routing and
fill calculation algorithms now also account for
available bend radius at change-of-direction
components, ensuring the minimum bend radius
for the cable can be maintained. Otherwise, the
path will be rejected as a suitable route for
that cable. Other enhancements to Smart 3Ds
electrical solution include:
n Integration with SmartPlant Electrical
n Enhanced support for multi-routing of stacked
cable trays

American Petroleum Institute (API) standard.
Smart 3Ds latest release addresses another
critical requirement in the design of offshore
jackets, trusses and derricks. Users gain the ability to place steel members with relative spacing
to other members coming into a common joint
using the new Rule-based Joint (RBJ) capability.
The RBJ command provides required behavior
for several key conditions: surface gap spacing;
required centerline distances and minimum
member overlap. As with rule-based cans, the
structural designer can ensure that requirements specified by the API standard are being
met. This eliminates the complex hand-calculations normally associated with this offshore
requirement.
Another rule-based capability further strengthening Smart 3Ds ability to support offshore
design is the Advanced Plate Systems (APS)
creation command. This highly automated
mechanism defines the shape and positioning/

Flex hosing is used widely on oil and gas projects with each hose and termination assembly.
This requires individual specification and
manufacture. Smart 3D will automatically place
the proper assembly in the model, at the same
time checking minimum bend angle and radius
requirements to ensure the hose will not kink as
designed.
Duct spooling builds on the proven pipe
spooling capability, allowing duct runs to be
automatically broken into uniquely-marked
sections that can be individually manufactured,
transported and installed in a modular fashion.
Summary
In conclusion, the latest release of Intergraphs
industry-leading Smart 3D design solution brings
important new enhancements that will help process and power plant, ship and offshore designers further increase productivity and accelerate
completion while increasing project safety.

How can you best document the existing condition of a plant? Laser scanning can identify
the elements in your facility to show 3D points
in space that reveal what exists. Several terms
are used to describe this data:
n Laser data
n Point cloud data
n Existing condition data capture.
The value of laser scanning is that the information is exact and shows what is already on
site. The facility has already been designed and
constructed. Now youre dealing with the reality of brownfield projects.
Laser scanning delivers a realistic view of what
was built, which is never identical to what was
designed. As a result, pipes are not always
exactly horizontal with 90 degree turns, especially after insulation has been added. So
when it comes to adding, replacing or modifying pipelines based on these existing plant

Smart 3D
With Intergraph Smart 3D technology (which
includes SmartPlant 3D and SmartMarine 3D),
you can either replace existing elements or
avoid existing elements.
You can determine clashes and interference
detections of the elements that cannot move,
such as the structures, columns and beams
that cannot be modified. A new pipe cant go
through these items.
Or you might have an existing line thats going
to be completely replaced. It must be put back
in place as it was originally. You can use the
laser points to overlay that line.
Smart 3D provides a reference. Points are used
to aid modeling. As you perform design work,
you reference a group of points. The laser software isnt smart enough to turn it into a pipe.
The engineer has to consult a catalog and
determine the desired pipe specification and
place it. So, the goal is to minimize the number of activities an engineer must perform to
replace a pipe or position a new pipe.
Smart 3D helps you confirm that the pipe is
at the right angle, the right size all the right
characteristics so that it can be properly fabricated and installed in the facility.
The embedded bubble (360-degree) view is
a new technology that all of the main laser
scanning vendors have adopted. A bubble
view is basically a digital raster picture that
enables you to move your mouse to turn in the
view. You can control the resolution to make it
as clear as any photograph.
A year ago, we asked our customers what
they would like in Smart 3D, and the bubble
view was one of the items they requested. This
functionality is now included in our latest release of Smart 3D and SmartPlant Review.
SmartPlant Review
SmartPlant Review can be used as a reference
solution with your laser scanning data. It enables you to perform complete design reviews
outside of the design environment.
SmartPlant Foundation
SmartPlant Foundation helps you take advantage of your laser data by performing queries
of the new design to find the pipe that needs
to be maintained, for example. You can see everything in context and what the existing plant
looks like to know if you can perform needed
maintenance with the new design.
Dynamic display
Intergraph offers a superior and unique
solution for laser scanning. The first reason
is thanks to our technology.
data investment.
A typical laser scanning project involves literally billions of points. Some applications simply
read one point at a time. Each point takes up a
certain amount of memory. Eventually you fill
up all the memory on your machine and there
are a lot of objects in your 3D model.

the CSG leadership team, CSG TC decided to implement a pilot project on Sept. 11, 2006 just four
days after the initial presentation.
Pilot project
CSG had an FSO offshore project from MODEC
International L.L.C. Hull design had already been
subcontracted to a design company that was
using Tribon. Due to the flexibility and openness of SmartMarine 3D, it was possible to use a
Tribon interface that could import Tribon hull
models into SmartMarine 3D as the background
of the outfitting design. The FSO bulk area for
outfitting design, specifically piping design, was
selected as the pilot project for SmartMarine 3D.
In preparation for the pilot project, three
activities were performed:
n
SmartMarine 3D Benefits
Underscoring the vision of a single data-centric solution, CSG has enjoyed many benefits from
using the software, such as:
n Easy to use and easy to learn New graduates or engineers from other industries require a
very short period of training to perform design work. Just one-to-two days of training are needed
for a single discipline.
n Many powerful functions The relationship management and rule-driven technology are
very powerful and far better than capabilities offered by any other system.
n Efficiency The products efficiency is much better than other systems. For some disciplines
such as piping, the efficiency gains can be calculated in several orders of magnitude compared
to other systems.
n View and rule-driven drawing Using view style and rules is powerful. The solution reduces
the labor needed to create drawings and ensures a uniform style by various designers throughout
the team.
n Robustness of the solution CSG has never lost any design data. This is unheard of compared to other systems.
n Openness The software is very open. CSG can define additional model attributes according
to its practices. If performed with another system, this had to be done manually. It would take
longer and introduce a higher chance of errors. Other systems therefore lack the required quality
that SmartMarine 3D can ensure.
n Advanced core architecture CSG can develop additional functionality or write an interface
to other systems.
n Data-centric approach A powerful database server is required, especially for large projects.
This is mainly due to very rich data for relationship management.
n System administration The knowledge and experience requirements for the system administrator are higher than those needed by other systems.

Keppel FELS is a unique example of a company thats improved its operational model, and
turned its Singapore-based site into a worldleading operation. Innovations in both its operating system and its products have helped
this Singaporean company grab a dominant
share in the oil rig construction business. Keppel FELS has delivered over 50 percent of the
worlds jack-up rigs and 45 percent of the
submersible rigs in the last five years.
The companys proprietary submersible rigs
can operate in deep waters up to 10,000 feet
and drill down to 30,000 feet. These oil rigs
feature sophisticated dynamic positioning
capabilities, which allow the rig to maneuver
smoothly and maintain its position and heading at sea, in place of the traditional mooring systems, which are less flexible. To meet
demand as oil exploration moves into ever
deeper water, Keppel has developed a rig
called the deep draft submersible, which is
ideal for areas like the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil
and West Africa.
We have succeeded in integrating the best of
both project and manufacturing approaches
into our process, says Tong Chong Heong,

Arrow 3 represents publishing data from design
to production applications. This exchange
includes part information and geometry for
plate and profile nesting and piping materials and connectivity for fabrication. The data
exchanged inherits material codes from ERP.

Arrow 5a represents WBS information published from ERP to detailed design tools so the
detailed design tools can do further bottom-up
assembly planning. Arrow 5b represents WBS
published from ERP to production systems.
Arrow 6 represents data exchange between
design tools for example, functional-to-detailed
design for hull structure and outfitting piping.
Managing data exchanges
Consider exchanges 1 through 5 in the context
of steel plates. Exchange 1a and 3 contain
duplicate information but for different contexts.
In the case of 1a, early in the design cycle, the
exchange is primarily for refining steel estimates.
Later it provides detailed BOM information in
the context of WBS (5a). Exchange 3 contains
the same information that each individual part
contained in 1a, plus the additional geometric
information required for nesting. However, the
