Intergraph Smart® P&ID Design Validation

Overview

Intergraph Smart^® P&ID Design Validation speeds up the iterative workflow of piping system verification, checking for consistency among the logical and physical piping designs. Design Validation streamlines comparisons between Intergraph Smart P&ID and SmartPlant^® Isometrics (PCFs, PODs); Isogen^®-generated isometrics/drawings (IDFs, PCFs); and PDMS models.

For example, a quick comparison between a field-checked isometric may show a topology inconsistency, where a valve exists on the wrong side of a branch in the P&ID. Smart engineering tasks can then be used to update the P&ID so that it reflects the As-Built situation.

Features & Benefits

Reduce Costs

Reduced labor by decreasing the number of iterative cycles.

Productivity

Make the right decision at the right time.

Design Consistency/Quality

Allows easy comparison of P&IDs (logical world) and isometrics, 3D models (physical world) at the data and topology levels.

Consistency

Facilitate As-Built between logical and physical designs. Improved consistency through rule-driven, intelligent graphical comparison.

Plant Safety

Make sure the designs are consistent to perform safety studies.

Reduce Risk

Plan maintenance and modification through synchronized engineering dataset.

Side-by-side Comparison

Compare logical and physical designs. Side-by-side comparison for example the P&ID and the isometric showing the difference in data as well as in topology.

Automatic Reporting

Automatic reporting on differences in 2D and 3D. The tool will automatically create a word document with descriptions of the difference and screen shots of the P&ID and the 3D isometric with the highlited inconsistencies.

Reduce Cost on Plant Maintenance

The comparison will make sure that in case of maintenance and or turn around projects there will be no suprises when the planning is done on P&ID and find different configurations in the actual plant.

Reduce Work

Reduce checking cost during project executions. The P&ID can be checked against the 3D design and the isometrics to ensure design consistency and reduce change order when the isometrics are issued to the fabricator.
