A Connected Workflow.
Results move between tools and Disciplines without being retyped.
- Studies to designStudy results set equipment ratings, protection settings and cable schedules in the drawings.
- Field to modelSoil resistivity measured on site feeds the earthing model directly.
- Process to fabricationThermal and mechanical calculations, pipe stress and FEA feed the equipment drawings and foundation loads.
- One plant modelMechanical, civil and electrical routing share one model, so clashes are found in design.
