PDS Integrations

FrameWorks® Plus is an enhanced structural modeling and drawing tool that optimizes your workflow from design and modeling to analysis and reporting. By integrating structural functions with the plant creation process, it significantly amplifies the value of your modeling initiatives. Its ability to work seamlessly with third-party analytical and steel detailing software, as well as other Hexagon plant design solutions, guarantees that every aspect of the structural engineering workflow remains synchronized, ensuring data accuracy and currency. This tool's full compatibility with PDS allows for the creation of structural plant models and the effortless global sharing of up-to-date project information through its PDS interface. Additionally, FrameWorks Plus is deeply integrated into engineering and construction workflows, providing more than just a CAD solution; it includes intelligent graphics that simplify the processes of modeling, analysis, and reporting. Such advanced capabilities render FrameWorks Plus an essential resource for teams aiming to enhance their structural engineering operations efficiently. Moreover, its user-friendly interface and robust functionalities make it an invaluable asset for professionals in the field.

Intergraph Smart® P&ID software is specifically developed to create and oversee piping and instrumentation diagrams, with a strong focus on maintaining quality and consistency regarding plant assets. A piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) functions as a thorough depiction of the process flow within an industrial setting, showcasing how process equipment and instrumentation are interconnected to manage operations. As a plant evolves from its initial design stage to full operational status, these diagrams are consistently generated, accessed, shared, and revised as needed. The most effective P&ID software employs a task-oriented approach, which is vital for linking activities across engineering, construction, and operational phases, ultimately resulting in enhanced deliverables. Hexagon PPM emphasizes the importance of data and information sharing in its software solutions, ensuring that all engineering information remains up-to-date and accurately reflects the actual configuration of the plant. Consequently, other disciplines can depend on the most recent digital P&IDs to inform their design decisions, promoting improved collaboration and efficiency throughout project execution. This integrated strategy not only simplifies processes but also leads to better decision-making throughout all stages of the plant's lifecycle, ultimately fostering innovative solutions for future projects.

Incorporating a database-driven design significantly improves P&IDs alongside both initial and detailed 3D modeling, pre-outfitting, and production information.
