CADISON MATPIPE
The Module for Pipe Class and Catalogue Management

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 MATPIPE
The Module for Pipe Class and Catalogue Management
Normally the planning of industrial plants is based on a number of key documents. Determination of pipe classes is an important component of Basic Engineering. The Basic Engineering defines the technical requirements with regard to fluid and pipe classes to be selected according to operating conditions so that the great variety of available pipeline components is limited and binding standards are established for Detail Engineering. Of course, costs are an important aspect as well since they will have a decisive influence later in the course of operation and stock-keeping. One of the key documents is the customers approval of pipe classes in the project. CADISON MATPIPE is the central pipe class and catalogue management system for use of the integral plant planning operation. Among others, the system ensures that your marking system introduced once before will be maintained in all planning documents. MATPIPE with its pipe classes may cover all phases of a project. Not only the basic but also the standard and project pipe classes are managed all three classes are managed side by side. CADISON MATPIPE supplies a number of pipe classes and manufacturer catalogues; others may be imported fully or partially via an easy to operate interface.

Specification without fully CAD Application

This module can be used as stand-alone and also concurrently. CAD Know-how is not required for component specification since MATPIPE provides its own design tool for specification and parameterization of objects. You may create simple 3D elements (e.g. a simple valve) or even complex structures (e.g. complete separators) as parametric descriptions. Apart from the 3D elements, even 2D symbolisms may be created for schematic diagrams or electrical equipment. This means in practice that a specification without CAD application is available. Direct and easy access to specification data ensures a high rate of standardization.

Simple Intuitive Surface

CADISON MATPIPE can be operated intuitively through a user surface that is easy and rapid to operate. For instance, the manufacturer catalogue data are listed in own columns and the 3D graphic is visible through a 3D variant modeller. All properties or dependencies can be optionally modified in the catalogue. The component data can be imported and exported via different formats (CSV, XLS etc.).

Advantages of Catalogue Data

All parties involved in the project may immediately use and implement the pipe classes, catalogue data etc. in their respective project. Of course, the access to embedded manufacturer catalogues according to defined pipe classes is possible from all modules. For instance: In the design phase the CADISON 3D planner has access either to the catalogue and pipe class data allocated to the project or provided the user is authorized to do so directly to the overall catalogue. In case specific special components not included in the catalogue are needed, the existing components may be adapted to the specific requirements. The necessary certificates and documents will be directly allocated to the special component through the PDM system integrated in CADISON.

Tracing of Modifications
While projects are under work, objects from catalogues are incorporated into the respective planning. A sophisticated role-based right system controls who is allowed to process and introduce the respective objects. In the practical application it might occur that the content of catalogues is changed during the duration of the project. To identify such modifications, CADISON MATPIPE provides integral functions for identification of such modifications. Thus catalogue and/or planning modifications can be recognized and eliminated, for instance prior to order placement.

Independent Report Generator

All pipe classes and catalogue descriptions prepared by means of CADISON MATPIPE can be issued by the integrated report generator in most different forms and formats. 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
Knowledge-based modular creation of components Preparation of basic, standard and project pipe classes, e.g. to PAS 1057-1 Simple import of manufacturer catalogue data Parametric variant modelling for preparation of 3D variants Automated creation of components through neutral import Efficient search function Integration of manufacturer documents (certificates, test reports, ATEX certificates etc.) Rule-based component configuration (e.g. basic valve body with different actuators) Work with replicas in linked pipe classes Rapid check of drawings for topical catalogue entries Automatic rule-based adjustment between MATPIPE and the project through the catalogue control system Structured catalogue composition through creation of chapters Simple and comfortable extension of catalogues and data structures User and role-based access mechanisms

Business Benefits
Ready2Go scope of supply for rapid introduction Graphics-independent component definition and parameterization Significantly lower number of erroneous data inputs through rule-based component configuration Multi-Site work of split project groups (all modules) Integration in the ERP workflow Reliability through prime data verification Standardization is possible through direct access to specification data Adoption of existing manufacturer catalogues Collision spaces for installation and maintenance purposes ensure accomplishment of installation and maintenance work Full multi-language capacity through Unicode (e.g. changeover from English to Russian and vice versa) together with multi-language inscriptions Reduction in modification effort through re-use of stored sub-assemblies
