Intergraph Smart 3D - 3D Plant Design Software

Intergraph Smart® 3D

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 optimising 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.

Key Features

Rule-Based Design for Enhanced Data Quality

Smart 3D ensures design accuracy and consistency through the enforcement of design rules. By reducing design errors, minimizing engineering changes, and cutting down on rework, Smart 3D increases project quality and reliability. Continuous monitoring of design rules and real-time notification of impacts ensure that all project participants can make informed decisions quickly.

Comprehensive 3D Modeling and Integration

Smart 3D provides comprehensive 3D modeling capabilities for plants, ships, and offshore facilities. It supports integration for the engineering design team to work from known specifications, providing critical material definitions downstream and eliminating out-of-sequence work. This ensures on-time project delivery by enabling streamlined design processes for a wide scope of disciplines and workflows.

Global Concurrent Engineering

Facilitate global, concurrent engineering with Smart 3D’s capabilities, allowing contractors to manage and execute projects worldwide. Project databases can be replicated anywhere, enabling real-time updates and seamless sharing of work across multiple locations. This significantly reduces engineering costs and shortens project schedules.

Full Laser Scan Support

Smart 3D incorporates CloudWorx within the same modeling environment, allowing users to manipulate, measure, and obscure laser scans seamlessly. Hexagon focuses on reducing the administrative overhead of maintaining and sizing raw point cloud data, enabling designers to focus on designing rather than data management.

Project/As-Built Capabilities

Smart 3D offers robust Project/As-Built capabilities, ensuring a truly iterative design environment. It provides tools for capturing new and existing engineering knowledge, allowing it to be saved and reused. This preserves the integrity of design data and enables the reuse of corporate knowledge for future projects, reducing costs and compressing timelines.

Multi-Discipline Design for Better Decisions

Smart 3D provides a true multi-discipline design environment where all designs are fully visible to all parties at any point in time. This transparency allows for early and informed decisions about system design, facilitating effective design reviews and minimizing late-stage changes. It also enables better planning for downstream activities, from fabrication to construction safety reviews.
