(38g) Best Practice in Facilitating Engineering Workflow through the Integration of Honeywell's UniSim Design and SmartPlant Enterprise from Intergraph (Webcast Not Available)
Process engineering focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and material processes in a vast range of industries. The design solution cannot be explicitly determined and therefore is an iterative process that converges into a consistent design that must operate against a range of conditions (cases). This creates a need for a flexible engineering solution to create various design alternatives, revisions and cases. The information with different level of details gets added to the engineering design through the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) process. Therefore, it brings increased productivity and adds values to your business for the engineering solution to have the capacity to update the designs with the new information throughout the FEED process with consistent models.
SmartPlant Enterprise (SPE) is a collection of products from Intergraph used to support elements of process engineering, however, does not include any process engineering calculation programs. The UniSim Design simulator from Honeywell has been integrated with SPE to publish the heat and mass balance data for multiple design alternatives, revisions and cases. The process engineer will be able to use the simulation data in any product integrated with SPE to perform downstream tasks like P&ID and Instrumentation. The UniSim Design graphic is also published in a native SPE format which can be used as a starting point for creating the process flow diagrams. This presentation describes how you can benefit from the best practice in engineering workflow through the integration of UniSim Design and SmartPlant Enterprise.
