Intergraph Offers SmartPlant Foundation Model Loader
 HUNTSVILLE, Alabama,
May 24, 2007 - Intergraph’s new SmartPlant Foundation Model Loader now
brings the benefits of Intergraph SmartPlant Foundation to AVEVA PDMS users
permitting them the high integrity viewing and navigation capabilities and
the same level of confidence previously available to Intergraph PDS
customers.
With this new capability introduced to SmartPlant Foundation from
Intergraph’s Process, Power & Marine division, AVEVA PDMS customers can more
easily collaborate during engineering, procurement, and operations with a
new level of interoperability, flexibility and cost and time savings.
Viewing is provided by the integrated SmartPlant Foundation model
streaming viewer. Now remote users can rapidly view PDMS model graphics
without the source application on the desktop and waiting for models to be
distributed to the local file store. As a result, global collaboration is
increased, and waiting time and IT costs are reduced.
Navigation is provided by the integrated plant database – based on
industry standards – that supports dynamic linking between the plant objects
sourced from different applications. These linkages – some expressed as
hierarchical drill-downs, while other provided by hyperlinks (hotspots)
within the documents, drawings and models – afford engineers, purchasers,
suppliers and maintainers the ability to browse the interconnected model,
drawings, documents and associated information. This supports activities
such as change impact analysis, decision support and operational excellence
while saving time and improving accuracy. In the past, the only mechanism to
achieve these initiatives involved lining the walls with prints.
SmartPlant Foundation captures PDMS 3D model data through its updated
Model Loader (previously named PDS Framework Loader). The new name signals
its broadened capabilities supporting both Intergraph PDS and AVEVA PDMS 3D
model data. The SmartPlant Foundation Model Loader automates the rendering
of PDMS data into a 3D streaming format. This neutralizes the data from its
proprietary source application database. It also automates the correlation
of PDMS 3D model data against plant objects provided by other applications.
For example, when the same equipment object exists on both a P&ID and a
3D model, the two objects are automatically correlated together. This
enables the user to hyperlink from the 2D representation to the 3D
environment, and back again, or via the plant hierarchy. This capability
offers tremendous possibilities for increased operational excellence and
plant safety.
The SmartPlant Foundation Model Loader, which includes the PDMS 3D
capability, will be available for SmartPlant Foundation versions for SPF
v2007 (v3.8 service pack 2) in June and SPF v3.7 customers in July.
