>.--^fl Sustaining Infrastructure PRODUCT DATA SHEET Bentley AXSYS.Process (SELECTseries 5) In any major process plant project, 80 percent of the capital expenditure is committed during the conceptual design phase. Bentley® AXSYS®Process helps users minimize this expenditure and achieve better front-end engineering design (FEED) by allowing increased evaluation of conceptual design cases and managing data and workflow to reduce project time. Users employ the software to integrate conceptual process design and functional project engineering. Bentley AXSYS.Process provides a central repository for process engineering design cases. generate process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs). Optimized Evaluation of Design Concepts Optimizing front-end engineering design generally entails spending time evaluating alternative designs and then selecting the best case from these alternatives. Bentley AXSYS.Process allows users to perform more designs in less time and evaluate these designs more thoroughly in order to find the most cost-effective case. Bentley AXSYS.Process provides a common database and environment to allow the sharing of process simulation and project evaluation data across the enterprise. This optimizes the engineering workflow and eliminates data re-entry and duplication. A comprehensive change management system tracks all changes made to data during the FEED project and can manage multiple revisions allowing for parallel design cases. Interfaces with Major Process Simulators and Heat Exchanger Applications Since Bentley AXSYS.Process manages the process data, it dramatically reduces design effort by linking directly to other engineering programs. Bentley AXSYS.Process interfaces with major process simulators including Aspen Plus, HYSYS, PRO/ I and UniSim Design. Information from a simulation can be loaded into Bentley AXSYS.Process, including stream properties and detailed unit operation data, along with the associated connectivity. Once this information has been loaded, it can be manipulated or combined with other simulations to generate a complete plant simulation model For detailed heat exchanger calculations, Bentley AXSYS.Process supports the major design programs from HTRI and HTFS. These applications can be run in design Automatic Drawing Generation Bentley AXSYS.Process uses a powerful rule base to automatically generate process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs). These drawings are easily configured and ex- tended to include specific graphical symbols and associated data. Drawings can be output to multiple drawing formats. Customizable Datasheets and Reports The use of Microsoft Excel and a comprehensive set of customizable datasheet and report formats provide easy access to and manipulation of any information in a familiar Bentley AXSYS.Process provides a common database and environment to allow the sharing of process simulation and project evaluation data across the Flexible Workflows Bentley AXSYS.Process has been designed with maximum flexibility and does not impose fixed or rigid processes. Information can be integrated, analyzed and edited in both a graphical and a non-graphical environment, or it can be directly accessed via any OLE-compliant application. Users also have control over their work process by utilizing the extensive change management features that are included. The software tracks changes during the project, allowing users to revert to previous designs. Data sheets can be published to Bentley's ProjectWise® for storage, markup, and revisioning Extensive Customization Tools Bentley AXSYS.Process provides an extensive set of tools and utilities to configure the interface as well as write automation procedures through a comprehensive macro language. This comprehensive environment extends beyond the scope of any single discipline and into the enterprise. There is support for VBA, ODBC, XML, and export and exchange capabilities to a number of design software systems including Bentley OpenPlant, AutoPLANT®, and PlantSpace®
