CAU Express a Global Success with 849 Attendees

Intergraph CAU Express Events Attracts Over 849 Attendees in Four Weeks!

ICAS takes CADWorx & Analysis University (CAU) on the road, with CAU Express, and boosts CAU annual end-user attendance by almost 700%.

CAU is a two-day, in-depth training event that takes place each fall in Houston, Texas, covering the ICAS products: CADWorx, CAESAR II and PV Elite. CAU has always been enthusiastically embraced by our users, but because of its location it has been a very US-centric affair with only modest attendance from outside the Americas.

Making CAU Global
For CAU we had always attempted to recruit attendees from overseas, but for many engineers, designers, and their companies, the cost of travelling to these events made attendance difficult. That is why this year, instead of specifically attempting to recruit attendees from overseas, we decided to take CAU Express on the road to those regions with a strong ICAS user base.

What is CAU Express?
CAU Express is a value-priced, single-day event that showcases a selection of both new and highly regarded classes from our annual two-day CAU event.

Each stop kicked off with a keynote on “Enhancing Productivity Through Collaboration” by Rick Allen, senior vice president PP&M, and president of ICAS. After the keynote delegates each attended 4 x 90 minute classes for their chosen product track or field of interest. Each day ended with roundtable discussions on the products and an evening reception.

Some locations also included SmartPlant 2D solution tracks, given by local distributors and Intergraph offices.

Where was CAU Express held this year?
March 22^nd Johannesburg, South Africa, Chempute, Attendees: 75
March 26^th Dubai, UAE, Image Grafix. Attendees: 95
March 28^th and 30^th Mumbai and Chennai, India, KLG Systel. Attendees: 170
April 25^th Yokohama, Japan, Intergraph Japan, 87
April 27^th Beijing, China, AECSoft. Attendees: 237
April 30^th  Seoul, Korea, Intergraph Korea. Attendees: 106
May 2^nd Singapore, IOCS Asia. Attendees: 79

A total of 849 end-user attendees

Interesting fact: the largest classes were in China for CAESAR II, with 135 attendees!

What attendees have said

Your event yesterday was fulfilling and truly rewarding. It’s so great to have Mr. Dave Diehl and your team supporting us technically. I look forward to the next CAU express.

Darwin Santiago, Mechanical/Piping, Penspen International Ltd., Dubai, UAE

My sincere thanks to you all for hosting CAU EXPRESS in Mumbai. It was indeed a memorable day for us. I appreciate the efforts put in by you all for making this event successful. Last but not least: Please conduct CAU in Mumbai every year!!!!!!!

Deputy Chief Engineer, Pipe Stress, Mott McDonalds, Mumbai, India

Those that made it happen…
We could not have pulled this off without the help of our local partners. A special thanks goes to the ICAS session instructors that were on the road for two separate two-week blocks over a seven week period, delivering quality until the last delegate left. These valiant souls were: Richard Ay and Dave Diehl, CAESAR II; Sonia Delgadillo, CADWorx; and Luis Sanjuan, PV Elite (this was his first business trip with ICAS since joining 3 years ago). Also ICAS Regional Managers, Rob Herrington (IME) and Chris Schiller (APAC).

A special mention to the ICAS marketing team: Elvira Ballard and Alex Timofeyev for globally promoting CAU Express and closely working with our local partners. Also we want thank Kelly Montgomery and Eileen Tan for their help in making the APAC stops such a success.

Note: CAU2012 will be held September 24-25, Houston, Texas. Details will be posted on www.coade.com and Intergraph event sites in the coming weeks.

PipeServe Engineering achieves success on Greek power project with Intergraph CADWorx, CAESAR II, and PV Elite integration

Headquartered in Athens, Greece, PipeServ Engineering provides engineering services to the oil and gas industries, including petroleum refining, and for to power generation and other heavy industries.  TUV Austria Hellas chose PipeServ for the design of a series of combined cycle power plants in Greece that involved engineering and design for piping and supports within the plant facility and for auxiliary systems, large bore hot and cold pipelines involving 2,500 supports, 300 spring hangers, a pipe rack and steel structures. PipeServ performed stress analysis for small bore hot pipelines and finite element analysis for buried circulating water pipelines of 2.5m in diameter. They also provided mechanical design and construction drawings for three tanks and seven pressure vessels, including construction drawings.

"The advanced capabilities of this easy-to-use and proven solution provided fast project set up and a quick learning curve with almost immediate productivity and we also benefited from the easy customization of databases and efficient coordination among specialties.”"

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.

Intergraph CAESAR II Webinar - January 30 at 10AM CT: Dynamic Piping Analysis in CAESAR II, Part 2: Harmonics. 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.
