Hydrocarbon Engineering July 2010: P&ID's Becoming More Intelligent

Hydrocarbon Engineering - July, 2010

Gary Carson, Equamark Inc., USA, describes how P&ID’s can be made to be useful and effective IF they provide the desired levels of content, quality and accuracy. Recent innovations in plant design software are helping to elevating P&ID’s to increasingly important roles in the plant design and engineering process.

In this article you will read how P&ID's and 3D models can share information to provide accurate designs. Also how P&ID projects can be published in HTML format, with all relevant information, and how this allows stakeholders unprecedented access to to the latest information, without having to use the original CAD or authoring tools that were use to create them.

CADWorx University 2010 - It's a Wrap

 
   

Intergraph CADWorx® & Analysis Solutions would like to thank each and every one of you that attended this year's 2010 CADWorx University, September 27-29, 2010, held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center.

The conference was well attended with 225 attendees representing over 90 companies(Including Autodesk:-) from around the globe. Attendees had access to over 45 classes taught by 18 industry experts. We also had great sponsors that displayed the added value they deliver users of the CADWorx Plant Design Suite. Also in attendance were this year's Drivers of Success competition winners; KBR, Russia; Fichtner Consulting, India; and Mech-Tech Projects, India.

The keynote was delivered in two parts, the first part by Patrick Holcomb, executive vice president, Intergraph Process Power & Marine (Intergraph PPM). During Patrick's talk he outlined Intergraph's rational and future plans for CADWorx as part of Intergraph PPM's offerings, including the integration of CADWorx models and designs into the SmartPlant® Enterprise environment.

During his keynote Patrick also delivered a message from Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph PPM which stated, “Intergraph acquired COADE in early 2010 because we recognized the strength of CADWorx and the power it provides to its clients. CADWorx is a great addition to our product portfolio, well known for its superior productivity. Also, because of the benefits of allowing CADWorx data to be accessed and incorporated into our SmartPlant Enterprise world, we are currently working on delivering this powerful functionality to all our users.”

The second part of the Keynote was delivered by Tom Van Laan, P.E., senior vice president, Intergraph CADWorx & Analsysis Solutions, where he outlined the process of the January 2010 acquisition and his team's experience in working with Intergraph, and Intergraph's focused goals for the CADWorx Plant Design Suite and the group's analysis products.

The final event of the conference was the golf tournament on Wednesday afternoon held at the Woodforest Golf Club, north of The Woodlands. No hole-in-ones were recorded, but two teams tied for top place at 7-under, with the winner decided by scores on the highest handicap holes. We had a great time, the course was great, as were their attentive and professional staff.

A shout must go out to IT Exchange Group who mananged our event with wonderful attention to detail and always ensured that attendees received the best service and care. Our thanks to Dana, Vicki and their staff.
