Intergraph Standard Database for SmartPlant Reference Data

Intergraph has released the newest version of Standard Database for SmartPlant Reference Data, a preconfigured, best-practice solution to enable rapid implementation of SmartPlant 3D and SmartMarine 3D (collectively known as Smart 3D), and materials management. The Standard Database reduces the effort required to define items, descriptions and dimensions that satisfy requirements throughout various phases of a project by delivering a comprehensive range of commodity codes used to uniquely describe materials through a project life cycle, while employing sophisticated and exhaustive rules to maintain material descriptions.

The release includes providing all SmartPlant Reference Data users access to available Process Industry Practices (PIP) piping material specifications through Intergraph’s partnership with PIP. PIP is a consortium of process industry owners and engineering construction contractors, which publishes and maintains recommended practices for the process industry that are used by companies all over the world. The latest version of Standard Database will include 40 PIP specifications, with a further 25 to be available in the next release.

The PIP specifications are ready for use in Smart 3D, reducing implementation time for faster project start-up. SmartPlant Reference Data users can quickly and easily transfer the PIP specifications as-is into the Smart 3D model, and use them immediately.
