Hexagon - Intergraph Smart® 3D

Intergraph Smart® 3D - Changing the way projects are engineered and designed

Intergraph Smart® 3D is specifically designed to deliver mission-critical project requirements. It breaks through barriers imposed by traditional technologies to enable a truly iterative engineering design environment with an industry first Project / As-built capability. Smart 3D provides all capabilities needed to design facilities and then maintain their 3D “as-built” representations for downstream uses in the lifecycle

What is 3D and how does it work?

3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software assists in creating, modifying, analyzing or optimizing a design. Hexagon's Asset Lifecycle Intelligence Division is the leading provider of CAD software to companies that design, build and operate industrial facilities. Primarily, 3D CAD helps with detailed engineering but is found throughout the engineering process from conceptual design to facility maintenance and operation. A key component of any digital transformation implementation is having 3D models that match the physical facility. This is the focus of Smart 3D.

Intergraph Smart® 3D:

• Supports integration for the engineering design team to work from known specifications and provide critical material definitions downstream as well as project level integration for Project Management around design discrepancies and design approvals to eliminate out-of-sequence work and keep the project on-track for an on-time delivery.
• Shorten's project schedules by enabling streamlined design processes for a wide scope of disciplines and workflows.
• Facilitates global, concurrent engineering, allowing contractors to manage and execute projects worldwide.
• Captures new and existing engineering knowledge so that it can be saved and reused.

A fundamental component of SmartPlant Enterprise, Smart 3D provides project modeling capabilities needed to design facilities and then maintain their 3D “as-built” representations. Other advantages are fully customizable automation capabilities, and model reuse approach to execute even the largest and most complex projects.

Further benefits:

• Unique sustaining engineering capability
• Full laser scan support
• Enforced design rules increase data quality and ensure design integrity
• Design reuse for a competitive edge
• Project transparency maximizes communication to minimize delays
• Multi-discipline design for better decisions
