Benefits
Digital vs. Paper Organization

Save 100s to 1000s man-hours of analysis modeling

Streamline, greater efficiency, accuracy and confidence in the engineering design process = improved Plant Organization and Safety Review latest engineering analysis and CAD data in Real-Time from one central Data Repository throughout the complete project lifecycle Engineering analysis tools no longer used in isolation under a translational workflow but provide Engineers a more integrated participation in the DigitalPlant Design. Integration always beats translation. Brownfield projects can ramp up quickly when plugged into the existing CAD and Engineering data repository.

Benefits
Integrated Engineering is an ideal fit with the global outsourcing trend and remote distributed workflow. Reduce design delays and rework by using the latest design data, avoiding mistakes and time saving in the exchange of design information through many engineering disciplines Engineering analysis activities to be now included in the central document & data management system to provide automatic notification of upcoming and completed tasks. This will streamline scheduling, change management and provide up to date progress reports Engineers can still work on the plant and structural tools independently if necessary including products outside the Bentley platforms. Your platform, your workflow. Since these key analysis activities not only represent up to 20-30% of the design cost but are critical dependencies on completion of the 3D project, it makes sense to manage them in an integrated digital environment...
