Intergraph Shipping SmartPlant 3D 5.0

Intergraph Corporation announced that it is now shipping SmartPlant 3D 5.0. The new version delivers many enhancements for structural modeling and design, 3D model exportation, global worksharing and system support. Intergraph's current customers, including some of the world's largest owner/operators and engineering companies, drove the development of SmartPlant 3D 5.0. The software provides the capabilities needed to design and maintain process, power and marine facilities and keep them "as-built" throughout the life cycle.

SmartPlant 3D 5.0 Key Enhancements

Most of the SmartPlant 3D 5.0 enhancements center on structural modeling and design, including: enhanced libraries, modeling and editing commands for steel and foundations; exporting structural physical and analytical models via the CIMSteel format; fireproofing properties for member parts; importing section sizes from analysis; and general performance enhancements. SmartPlant 3D 5.0 can also output model geometry to MicroStation version 7 file format. This permits users of MicroStation-based applications to reference the SmartPlant 3D model geometry for measurement and interference detection purposes.

SmartPlant 3D 5.0 also offers improved global worksharing capabilities, including the ability to change permission group ownership from one location to another and to branch from piping owned by another location. System support for Microsoft Windows 2003 Server and Microsoft Office 2003 is also included.
