Welcome to SmartPlant
Welcome to SmartPlant
The Intergraph Process, Power & Offshore SmartPlant family of process industry
solutions is discipline-specific software that provides an integrated solution for the
entire plant life cycle. SmartPlant provides knowledge-based, intuitive, easy-to-use,
accessible, flexible, and data-driven tools that support global workflows. With
SmartPlant, users can create information and provide data to multiple users at any
moment. From these products, users are empowered to create logical and physical
definitions of the plant model and have access to plant data from conceptual design
through decommissioning.
SmartPlant 3D understands that plant design encompasses more than just 3-D
modeling. As such, SmartPlant 3D is designed to integrate the SmartPlant Product
Model with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Operations and Maintenance
(O&M), and Front End Engineering and Design (FEED). Traditionally, the only way
to extract and load data from one application to another was through neutral format
text files. SmartPlant 3D uses stress analysis, flow calculation, pump-sizing
capability, and support selection point applications to perform these same tasks.
Session files are used by SmartPlant 3D to empower users to define their own view of
objects in the database. Its Project Management task enables users to administer
and restrict user permissions to areas within the design catalog and the plant model.
The optimistic locking feature in SmartPlant 3D makes it possible for users to work
concurrently in the same environment and with the same component, whether it's
specific to plant design or associated with the relationship of the components
themselves. Additional features such as angle locking and interference checking make
SmartPlant 3D the ideal software to manage system performance and maintain design
intent.

Equipment Modeling Capability
Although an extensive library of symbols is delivered in the [Product
Directory]\Catalog Data\Symbols folder on the administrator machine, you can
customize additional three-dimensional symbols for your company using the Visual
Basic Symbol Wizard or Solid Edge. Two-dimensional symbols for structural
cross-sections are delivered in the CatalogData\Symbols\CrossSections folder. You
can create your own two-dimensional cross-section symbols using the SmartPlant
2D Symbols application.
The Visual Basic Symbol Wizard allows you to create and customize threedimensional symbols that fit your company or project. The wizard produces a Visual
Basic project for building the symbol ports and graphics, and generates an Excel
workbook for bulkloading the symbol data into the Catalog database.
SmartPlant 3D also integrates with Solid Edge to provide users with parametric
modeling and assembly design capabilities. With Solid Edge, users can build
intelligent equipment reference data libraries of base parts that can be placed into the
SmartPlant 3D model. An entire catalog of standard equipment can be modeled with
Solid Edge, as well as custom, one-of-a-kind equipment for specific plants. Solid
Edge's design assistance automatically monitors how close the assemblies match
design objectives and comply with design rules. Solid Edge and SmartPlant 3D use
the same user interface paradigms, including SmartLocate, SmartStep, and
QuickPick, making Solid Edge a natural addition to the SmartPlant 3D product suite.
Optimal knowledge of Assembly is required to maximize this capability.
You can create member cross-sections using the SmartPlant 2D Symbols application.
This application allows you to define different representations for the cross-section
using layers. You also can define variables to drive the dimensions of the crosssection symbol.
For more information on SmartPlant 3D's equipment modeling capabilities, see either
the SmartPlant 3D Reference Data Guide or the SmartPlant 2D Symbols User's
Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

2. Ensure that the partition where the SQL Server data files will be stored has
sufficient space. The system requires 120 MB to create a new set of databases
and a small model will take a minimum of 250-300 MB. Intergraph PPO
recommends that you have at least 1.0 GB of free space for database storage.
You also will need additional disk space if you intend to use other products, such as
Visual Basic 6.0 with Visual Studio Service Pack 5, and/or Solid Edge version 10.
Please consult your system administrator for this and additional software not provided
by Intergraph PPO.

Hardware Requirements
For optimal viewing and performance results of SmartPlant 3D, the following
minimum hardware requirements are advised:
Minimum of 1 GB hard drive disk space on the drive where the SQL
server databases are stored
Important
If you are unsure about your graphics card's capabilities, contact your
vendor or local system support group for assistance.
Notes
Many of the recent generation video cards provide some level of OpenGL
acceleration. Some manufacturers provide poor OpenGL drivers that can
cause artifacts. Testing has shown that NVIDIA and Intense3D provide
good drivers. ATI and Matrox often seem to have OpenGL problems with
their drivers. Cards with double-buffered overlay planes (such as the
Wildcat cards) have an advantage because highlighting can be done
without having to do save/restores. Cards without overlay planes rely on
blits during highlight operations, so good blit performance is needed, as
well as good drivers. For example, the NVIDIA Geforce 2 graphics cards
had unacceptable performance with their initial drivers, but since the
release of the Detonator 3 drivers and beyond, the Geforce 2 cards have
shown good performance while running SmartPlant 3D.
Dual screen configurations should have either a single graphics card with
two VGA outputs or two identical graphics cards. The graphics card(s)
should otherwise meet the requirements of the specified graphics card
recommendations.

The Plant database contains the physical model of your plant. A Site database can
point to multiple Plant databases. However, a Plant database cannot point to multiple
Site databases simultaneously.
The Catalog database and Catalog schema databases contain the reference data
information, which includes physical dimensions and industry standards. Catalog and
Plant databases share the same Catalog schema database.
You can create a new Catalog database and Catalog schema database from a data file
delivered with the software. The data file contains the definition of a catalog of
business objects, including specific sizes of pipes, pipe specifications, steel section
sizes, and so forth. You can modify the delivered reference data by editing and
bulkloading Microsoft Excel workbooks.
You can view the Site database in the Project Management task, and you can view
the Catalog database hierarchy and contents in the Catalog task. The Catalog has
two kinds of hierarchies: a Site database hierarchy comprised of catalog permission
group folders and permission groups, accessed through the Project Management
task, and an object hierarchy comprised of equipment, piping, and so forth, accessed
