CAD Schroer Releases MPDS4 Plant Design, Factory Layout 4.0
 MOERS,
Germany, Sep 10, 2009 - CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering
solutions provider, today announced the release of version 4.0 of MPDS4, its
flexible Plant Design and Factory Layout system. New tools and enhancements
focus on client collaboration, data integration, and even quicker design
editing and visualization. The star of the release is MPDS4 REVIEW, a new
tool for easy collaboration on plant designs: MPDS4 now generates very
compact plant models, which can be e-mailed to partners or clients, who then
conduct collaborative reviews or walk-through on any machine with the tool
installed.
CAD Schroer's flagship MPDS4 Plant Design and Factory Layout product
suite is targeted specifically at project engineers working for process
plant contractors (EPCs), system integrators or owner/operators who are
looking for a flexible system which easily manages complex design tasks in a
multi- user environment, and handles extremely large amounts of data with
ease. Many of them struggle with 2D drafting or 3D product modeling systems
when trying to create large industrial layouts with hundreds of thousands of
components and significant mechanical content. MPDS4 integrates existing 2D
plans and 3D CAD model data to quickly produce impressive 2D or 3D layouts,
with the ability to work in either design environment, with all the
traditional plant design disciplines, from piping to steel to electrical
design. Its relational database approach handles huge amounts of data in a
multi-user environment.
"Among many other enhancements, MPDS4 version 4.0 sees the introduction
of intelligent architectural components in the MPDS4 FACTORY LAYOUT product,
allowing users to easily integrate standard elements, such as doors, walls
and windows, into their designs, with detailed control over their behavior,"
explains CAD Schroer's Product Line Manager, Mark Simpson. "A new
multi-replace tool in the MPDS4 PIPING DESIGN module allows users to
automatically and intelligently change a whole series of connected
components simultaneously, based on the change to any one component. And a
new Pipe Fall Tool is ideal for creating the natural pipe falls for effluent
pipes, for example."
MPDS4 version 4.0 also introduces a new Texture Tool, enhanced drawing
and equipment management capabilities, and a new Data Comparison Tool,
allowing users to compare tables of external data with data in the MPDS4
database. The release sees significant enhancements in terms of speed,
quality and file size delivered by the STEP, IGES and 3D DXF interfaces,
regularly used by customers to include third party CAD models in their
designs, or exchange data with clients.
