CADISON P&ID-Designer
The Module for P&ID Project Environment

CADISON combines the engineering workflow in one system and thus significantly accelerates the planning processes. All users can see on their workplaces - either graphically or as schematic, as 3D model or text-based in a tree structure the same data and objects in each case so that they can be optionally used and modified on all workplaces through simple Drag & Drop. Data and/or objects are existing once only. Thus errors as a result of redundant data management are excluded. The sophisticated right system ensures that tasks are handled selectively. Modifications introduced by other users are immediately made available to all other users. The continuity of the individual work steps in one object-oriented database forms the core of the CADISON technology. CADISON uses the widespread platforms Autodesk AutoCAD or Microsoft Visio for graphical presentations.

CADISON P&ID-Designer
The Module for P&ID Project Environment
CADISON P&ID-Designer is a rulebased engineering solution that effectively supports the engineer in the plant design phase. Industrial and own standards make it possible to accurately design a plant with taking the correct planning decisions. The CADISON P&ID-Designer plays a decisive role in design, construction, commissioning and maintenance so that it has an important influence on the complete lifecycle of a plant. Apart from the P&I diagrams the P&ID-Designer even creates block flow charts and process flow diagrams (PFD). The CADISON P&ID-Designer is a graphic-based workplace. Beginning with a blank drawing, all main components known already may be positioned in the drawing by use of comprehensive catalogues (as per EN ISO 10628, ANSI etc.). Of course, access to projects prepared by use of other modules is possible as well, such as Project Engineer, and the objects may be easily inserted in the flow chart by means of Drag & Drop.

Automatic Structuring
During positioning of main objects, drives are graphically positioned as own objects and automatically linked with the associated main object. Pipe nozzles on tanks and vessels may be allocated to the tanks or vessels as subordinated objects. After connection of pipeline they are automatically given the diameter of pipeline. Moreover, manholes are treated as own objects and displayed separately from the tank nozzles.

Automatic Marking and Assignment

All positioned valves and fittings and the equipment are automatically given definite markings (e.g. DIN or KKS). The numbering system of which can be easily adapted to the company-specific requirements. Shown texts are aligned according to standard and managed on own inscription layers. Valves and fittings installed in lines are given the corresponding specification parameters from the pipeline. However, additional free inscriptions can be prepared but with all properties of the object given as fully associative texts. Inscription masks are available for short parts lists or complex inscriptions. The latter are directly linked with the object as well and are immediately updated in a dynamic mode.

Cross-sheet Processing
Cross-reference objects are available for cross-sheet processing that are consistently updated even in case the drawing data are changed (sheet numbers, drawing number etc.). The decision on data to be shown at the interfaces is freely configurable. When installing valves and fittings in pipelines, the system will be subdivided into single partial sections so that later processing is made easier. Thus even complex line routing with reducers etc. can be implemented but the pipeline system can be furthermore treated as a whole.

Dynamic Adaptation of Flow Direction

Pipelines and accessories (valves and fittings, tees etc.) have their definite flow direction. Butterfly valves, pumps etc. will automatically respond. Flow directions may be changed even in subsequent planning stages, and parts bound to a specific flow direction will be reversed automatically.

Automatic Path Finding

Being an integral module, CADISON P&ID-Designer offers the automatic path finding system. Thus more rapid navigation is possible so that simulations and process optimization can be accomplished. The controlled presentation of lines with colours and line types takes place in a parameterized mode via the stored configurations (company standards). The allocation of lines to pipe classes and fluids ensures that additional specifications and calculations are possible. All dependencies are included for automatic line inscriptions. Plant limits, even KKS functional units, can be graphically defined via a drawing so that all objects located inside may be immediately allocated. Thus the dependence on the plant is preserved and the superior marking system can be automatically used.

Independent Report Generator

All data created by means of CADISON P&ID-Designer can be issued by the integrated report generator in most different forms and formats. This could for instance be a list of valves and fittings or a preliminary computation for calculation of the required quantity structure. All reports can be revised and have release mechanisms. They are stored directly within the CADISON project. All documents can be presented even automatically as PDF.

Key Features
Rapid and intuitive preparation of basic, process and P&I flow charts Comprehensive symbol catalogues (DIN EN ISO 10628, ASME etc.) that can be freely prepared Rapid and easy change between different standard and freely definable identification systems (DIN, KKS etc.) Acceptance of existing objects per Drag & Drop (e.g. Project-Engineer and 3D-Designer) Placement of pre-defined sub-assemblies Easy preparation and management of symbols and sub-assemblies Easy detailing of objects from rough to fine specification through automated graphics exchange Cross-references across several drawings Cross-trade object navigation with visual highlight function Dynamic generation of control circuits Status-dependent examination and approval of modifications Flow direction control and consistency check across several drawings Automatic adjustment of project information and title block of drawing

Business Benefits
Quick productivity through easy of learning Comprehensible visual change management High level of planning reliability through rule-based work Rapid changeover of views of plant, location and calculation world Safeguarding the unambiguity of numbering system Automatic structure and hierarchy formation in conformity with the standard (e.g. the drive is subordinate to the pump) Multi-Site work of split project groups (all modules) Full multi-language capacity through Unicode (e.g. simple changeover from English to Russian and vice versa) together with multi-language inscriptions Use of standards and prime data from the catalogue and/or the ERP system Simple and rapid information reduction for approval planning Simultaneous across-trade work between process engineering and instrumentation
