Cover Story

itwin, a French engineering company, was seeking to improve


productivity, workflows and discipline integration by
implementing new software. The company also wanted
software that would help with environmental compliance
requirements as well as support its vision of the future.
The first phase of an overall programme was completed using
Intergraph PDS software. Electronic files of the drawings were
delivered in MicroStation J (V7) format.

throughout the different stages (design, procurement,


construction).
The environment is based on Microsoft interface, interactive and
user friendly.
SmartPlant 3D is the integral design component within the
SmartPlant Enterprise datacentric solutions that provides all of the
capabilities needed for large scale project engineering design, and then
keep it as built throughout its life cycle.

Why Intergraph?

Implementation

Litwin selected Intergraph SmartPlant 3D (SP3D) software for the


design of phase 2 of this overall programme for the following
reasons:
It offers the possibility to easily exchange the data generated
during the design and to reuse it to increase data consistency

Litwin chose to implement SP3D on a live project without running a


pilot project. For the implementation of the live project, SP3D was used
in a concurrent engineering mode by the design team for the 3D
modelling of the civil work, structural steel, equipment, piping and
cable trays.

All area and piping drawings, isometrics and pipe support drawings
were produced with SP3D. Civil and underground networks drawings
have been issued with MicroStation v8 based on views from the 3D
model placed in reference. Electronic files of the drawings were delivered
in MicroStation V8 format.
Several years ago, Litwin implemented SmartPlant P&ID, software for
creating intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs). The test
phase of the link between SmartPlant P&ID and SP3D is already planned
at the completion of the project as a step towards an integrated
engineering environment.

Training
Standard administrator and user training sessions have been organised at
Intergraph offices as a result of Litwin deciding to launch the design with
SP3D.
Litwin ordered services from Intergraph for the server installation
and the creation, setup and customisation of the project. So far, there
have been 13 assistance days (90% of project completion in design)
including:

Server installation.
Project creation and customisation.
Training for piping specifications.
Training and isometric customisation.
Customisation of ISOGEN.
Drawing customisation.
The Litwin team was able to obtain an immediate autonomy after the
training, concerning the modelling and the administration of the project.

The creation of the specifications and the installation of the catalogues, as


well as the customisation, were carried out parallel to modelling. Less
than six weeks after the project started, Litwin designers started work on
the live project with SP3D.

Customisation
Along with manual piping class programming, the following
customisations have been made:

Special items (i.e. valves) including symbols.


Drawing rules particularly for civil, piping and support drawings.
Isometrics.
Supports (specific for the project).

First results
One of the keys to the projects success is that users and administrators
have shown high motivation and involvement in regards to SP3D.
Furthermore, the user interface is modern and very interactive, with a
common philosophy for all tasks. Also, the SmartStep commands are very
helpful for the designers as they provide simple toolboxes and commands.

The future
SmartPlant 3D is now fully integrated with Litwin engineering capabilities.
Litwin will continue to develop the SP3D module and aims to upgrade to
the 2009 version.
Finally, Litwin will concentrate its efforts on all interfaces with the
other SmartPlant Enterprise suite, P&ID and instrumentation solutions it
uses to maximise efficiency and fulfill its requirements.
