Intergraph Releases New Version of SmartMarine 3D Software
May 10, 2010Intergraph announced it has released a new version of its SmartMarine 3D enterprise engineering and manufacturing software with expanded automation capabilities to further increase design quality, consistency, productivity and accelerate project schedules.
According to the announcement, the newest version of SmartMarine 3D further increases productivity with enhanced rule-based design automation capabilities. Graphical programming capabilities, referred to as “geometric constructions” enable the efficient definition of complex elements and structures based on engineering, construction and manufacturing rules. Once defined, the geometric constructions can be applied to other similar situations in the model. With Intergraph’s patented associativity engine, the geometric construction will be fully adapted to the new situation using other objects as input parameters, saving time and preserving design integrity.
The new features in SmartMarine 3D also include expanded multi- 3D model referencing and model data reuse capabilities. SmartMarine 3D now can reference external data from many sources for visualization, clash detection and routed systems connections. Supported formats include PDS, PDMS, ACIS (.sat), MicroStation (dgn. V7 & V8), AutoCAD (.dwg) and Intergraph SmartPlant Review (.vue). This capability is very powerful when undertaking repeated 3D designs or for joint venture projects where multiple companies may be using different design products.
“SmartMarine 3D is the only new-generation 3D solution specifically developed for the offshore and marine industry. The industry no longer has to rely on old, limited systems with limited and proprietary technology. Now, clients can take advantage of this technology to bring productivity into their business and enhance global competitiveness,” said Patrick Holcomb, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine executive vice president.
