product Sheet SmartPlant® Instrumentation Dimensional Data for Piping (DDP) Module Intergraph® SmartPlant® Instrumentation Dimensional Data for instrument components; they are automatically created in PDS Piping (DDP) module significantly enhances the work process Piping. You can avoid costly on-site rework because dimensional by integrating with SmartPlant Instrumentation, PDS®, and data quality is improved, ensuring correct fit of components, and SmartPlant 3D. Piping designers can place the automatically verified by piping model interference checking. You can accurately created 3D representations of in-line instruments in PDS Piping create isometrics since flange-to-flange dimensions are accurate. or SmartPlant 3D, driven by the data in SmartPlant Instrumentation. You can improve the accuracy of your design using DDP, which makes the isometrics accurate. Data comes direct from vendors. Reflect natural flow of information The DDP module enables separate storage and management of SmartPlant 3D, SmartPlant Instrumentation, and PDS are the de three levels of dimensional data: default, working, and vendor, facto standard solutions for instrument engineering and plant reflecting the natural flow of dimensional data and activities. The design. SmartPlant Instrumentation is a member of the SmartPlant dimensional graphic library depicts components, such as control Enterprise family, which includes SmartPlant P&ID, SmartPlant valves, and their dimensions, which can be used in the piping Electrical, SmartPlant Foundation plant information management, design process even if a project does not use 3D modeling. and SmartPlant Explorer for Web browsing and navigation of Create drawings directly out of SmartPlant Instrumentation. The engineering data. parametric library offers more than 100 instrument components you can place in the SmartPlant 3D or PDS piping model that Integrate work processes With the DDP module, you can: • Import dimensional data from instrument vendors into SmartPlant Instrumentation • Manage instrument dimensional data will be reflected in deliverables such as the isometrics. With the data export feature, you can move dimensional data between SmartPlant Instrumentation and SmartPlant 3D or PDS. Plus, you can place instrument components by tag number, correlated with SmartPlant P&ID for complete design verification. The engineer can store and maintain default instrument and vendor • Use the imported dimensions to create cut-sheets for components dimensional data by group, manufacturer, or process connection. • Use the 3D parametric routines in SmartPlant 3D and PDS Transfer, store, and maintain certified vendor dimensional data for to create a 3D representation the piping designer can place the instruments. Transferred to working data, it can be used for actual instruments in the database. With electronic vendor data, you do not need to retype into SmartPlant Instrumentation engineering tasks. Engineering, Streamline your workflow procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors do not have to The engineer classifies instruments by type and pre-assigns them keep up with the latest catalog information. Even when vendor to their DDP group in the instrument type profile, based on the data is not electronically available and you must enter it manually, existing dimensional data library and best practices. The designer the data is valuable downstream because it drives parametric then provides preliminary dimensions to the piping designer, filled modeling of the components. Spend less time building 3D from the standard dimensional data library and based on specified

basic instrument parameters. Dimensional tables are populated automatically. The piping designer can place the valve by its tag number from a list in SmartPlant 3D or PDS Piping. Through the dimensional tables, the program creates the 3D representation, which is placed in the pipeline. Alternatively, the engineer can print a dimensional data report or datasheet and transfer it to the piping design department. • Improve communications between the control systems group, piping, and the supplier(s) • Reduce checking time by minimizing dimensional data errors • Enhance quality of deliverables...
