What is the Plant Design System?

Intergraph’s plant design software can be used to design any type of plant—from petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, chemical and pharmaceutical plants, consumer products (food, beverages, cosmetics, soap, paper, and so forth), to power plants, waste water treatment plants, and cogeneration facilities.Specifically, the Plant Design System (PDS) integrates many discipline-specific software modules; these modules automate the many phases of a plant design project. Instrument Data Manager is one of these modules. Designing a plant with the modular Intergraph-Zydex plant design software system comprises four phases:

1. Project Setup - 2D and 3D design files, project files, databases.
2. Preliminary Design - feasibility studies, cost estimates, general layouts and process flow diagrams.
3. Detailed Design - process, instrumentation, piping layouts, material control.
4. Design Review - 3D model walk-through.
