LAS VEGAS, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Intergraph®, the world's leading provider of
enterprise engineering software for the process, power and marine
industries, has released Intergraph Smart™ Standard
Database (SDB) for Hangers and Supports, a catalog of dozens of
support types with 330 preconfigured rules-based pipe supports and
associated fully automated drawing templates for Intergraph
Smart™ 3D, covering multiple industries.
Intergraph Smart SDB for Hangers and Supports significantly
reduces configuration costs for company-specific Hangers while
providing end-users a sophisticated library of supports that
intelligently connect to the surrounding environment so they will
update automatically when external factors such as pipe diameter
steel size or location change in concert with Smart3D's intelligent
rules and relationships. The intelligent rules and relationships
make configuration changes to pipe and steel fast and easy since
supports automatically update, eliminating the need to delete and
replace supports and greatly reducing cost and the time required
for quality assurance/quality control of the model. The supports
work with SmartParts, a standardized set of parts specific to
hangers and supports within SmartPlant® Enterprise and
the free data-driven assemblies already delivered with Smart
3D.
The SDB for Hangers and Support Library is a framework that can
be used as delivered or one from which customers can easily develop
their own set of standard supports based on pre-existing paper
standards. Myung-Su Han, general
manager and Engineering IT team leader at HEC based in Seoul, Korea said, "Configuration, extension
or changes to the supports can be performed without any
programming. Simple data changes in an Excel workbook and a quick
administrator upload into the database are all that is necessary to
customize these supports."
The ease of use of this product means content creation training
can be completed in only four days. Myung-Su Han added, "The training was very easy
to understand and general in nature so that we have a clear
understanding of how we can maintain and extend our support
library."
Delivered support types include single and double rod hangers
(rigid, variable spring and constant spring), shoes, base supports,
slides, guides and stops, U-bolt, strap, dummy leg, trunnion,
pipe-to-pipe, gusset, beam-to-beam, box frame and hold downs.
Key features of SDB for Hangers and Supports include:
- Configurable, automatic fabrication drawing annotations
including dimensions and welds
- Works with any SmartParts, delivered or customer-developed
- Easily swappable steel standards providing easy creation of
supports to local standards and locally available materials.
- Easily configurable to support local languages
- Metric or Imperial material take-off reports
- Works with many delivered vendor parts
- Dozens of support types and more than 330 sample supports
- Configurable, rule-based support properties
Customers are not required to have SmartPlant Reference Data or
the SDB to use this product.
SDB for Hangers and Supports is the culmination of many years of
work and thousands of lines of custom code. Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power &
Marine's executive vice president of global business development
and marketing, said, "By leveraging the knowledge we have gained
working with a multitude of customers, we are able to offer this
product to all of our customers, both existing and new, at a huge
cost savings for them."
