Although CADWorx DraftPro may be FREE, that does not mean that you have to make do with unintelligent blocks to develop your 2D layouts and sections. If you really want to make CADWorx DraftPro “fly” then learning how to modify the supplied piping specs will provide a great boost to your productivity, and it is easy!

Join us to learn how to use the intuitive specification editor that is built into CADWorx DraftPro. See how just a few minutes spend adjusting the supplied piping specifications for your exact needs can save you time and help provide accurate BOM’s that require no manual modifications.

PS. CADWorx DraftPro uses the same specs as CADWorx Plant and P&ID Professional!

Intergraph Discovery Tours: Houston TX and Denver CO, USA, January 26 and 31, 2012

Intergraph will be hosting Discovery Tour events on January 26 in Houston, Texas and on January 31 in Denver, Colorado, USA that will demonstrate Intergraph CADWorx Plant Professional and CADWorx P&ID Professional, including how they integrate with Intergraph CAESAR II for pipe stress analysis and PV Elite for vessel and exchanger analysis. The presentations will show how this integration breaks down barriers between engineering and design so that both groups can share information seamlessly in a collaborative work environment, enhancing productivity for all stakeholders. Hosting the event locally will be ECE Design, Intergraph Global Network Partner for Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions.

Join us to learn how CADWorx® DraftPro™ can help you create 2D plant deliverables more accurately, in half the time, and at no cost!

Autodesk® estimates that over 500,000 seats of AutoCAD® are currently used in the plant creation space? That’s 500,000! We estimate that only a fraction of these seats are being used for 3D modeling. So for the majority 2D is all that they are required to deliver.

Enter Intergraph CADWorx DraftPro!
With CADWorx DraftPro we want to keep it simple, you do 2D, so we want to make your 2D work easier, your output more intelligent, and you more productive! CADWorx DraftPro is an intelligent 2D plant design solution that is high quality, field proven and super affordable.

Intelligent
CADWorx DraftPro comes with piping specs and over 60,000 parametrically created components. Goodbye dumb blocks!

Quality
CADWorx DraftPro is based on CADWorx Plant Professional tried and tested technology, used since 1996.

Proven
The technology behind CADWorx DraftPro is responsible for billions of dollars of successful projects.

Affordable
CADWorx DraftPro is Free! i.e. Gratis, Nada, $0, ₤0, ¥0, €0. Now that’s affordable!

Intergraph CAESAR II webinar: Dynamic Piping Analysis in CAESAR II, Part 2: Harmonics

with Dave Diehl, VP Customer Experience, Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions (ICAS)

Date: January 30, 2012
Time: 10:00AM CT (click here for your local time)
Duration: 30 min.
Cost: free eSeminar

 

Cyclic loads of even small magnitude can damage piping systems and most shaking pipe is a cause for concern.  CAESAR II can be used to replicate piping response to these harmonic loads.  Once the computer model matches the physical system, the model can be confidently adjusted to de-tune the response.  The focus here is this forcing-frequency-to-natural-frequency ratio and not on evaluating a calculated fatigue stress amplitude.  This webinar will develop the CAESAR II input required for harmonic analysis and the engineering concepts involved.

Speakers bio: 

David Diehl graduated with a BSME from Lehigh University, Pensylvania, USA in 1976. Upon graduation he took a post as a Dynaflex technical support representative for Auton Computing in New York City. After four years David relocated to Houston, Texas providing mainframe-based piping system analysis services.  In 1986, he took a position at Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis Solutions (COADE, Inc.) introducing and selling CAESAR II, the worlds first PC-based pipe stress analysis package.  While at ICAS Dave earned his Professional Engineering license and currently is the product manager for CAESAR II, is the lead instructor for CAESAR II, and manages all training for ICAS.  For the last ten years Dave has participated in the B31.3 Section Committee and currently chairs the Design Task Group there.  He also serves as a Director of SPED – the Society of Piping Engineers and Designers.
