CADISON

CADISON Project Engineer is the central module for project management, cost estimation and data management in plant design. It helps teams structure plant projects, estimate costs at an early stage and manage technical information consistently.

Teams from different disciplines work from a shared data foundation. This helps reduce errors, reuse project information and manage workflows more efficiently throughout the entire plant lifecycle.

Core functions:

• Multidisciplinary project structures
• Central management of project and design data
• Project control with tasks, checks and workflows
• Integrated cost estimation
• Revision and change management
• Document management for PDFs, reports and non-CAD files
• ERP interfaces and API integration

Would you like to integrate CADISON into your plant design processes? Contact us – we will be happy to discuss the right solution for your requirements.

CADISON P&ID Designer is the module for creating intelligent block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams (PFDs) and P&IDs in plant design. The solution supports rule-based, data-centric diagrams and enables process engineering documentation to be created efficiently, consistently and in accordance with relevant standards.

With the P&ID Designer, engineering teams create and edit P&IDs based on intelligent objects and centrally managed process data. Changes, labels and object information can be managed systematically, validated and reused in subsequent project phases. This creates transparent workflows from the initial process representation through to technical documentation.

Core functions:

• Creation of intelligent block flow diagrams, process flow diagrams (PFDs) and P&IDs
• Symbol libraries based on relevant standards, including DIN EN ISO 10628 and DIN EN 62424
• Rule-based P&IDs with embedded process information
• Configurable labels and piping designations
• Integrated instrumentation and hook-up drawings
• Quality checks for accurate, consistent P&IDs
• Revision and change management
• Automatic generation of reports, lists, data sheets and documentation
• Reuse of P&ID data in future projects

Would you like to create your P&IDs more efficiently using a data-driven approach? Contact us – we will be happy to advise you on the right CADISON solution for your plant design requirements.

CADISON 3D Designer is the module for integrated 3D design in plant engineering. It supports engineering teams with plant layouts, piping design, plant modelling, isometric drawings and automated report generation.

The 3D Designer enables plant models to be created, developed and modified using centrally managed project data. Piping, vessels, nozzles, pipe supports and layouts are modelled as intelligent objects and linked to the relevant information. This results in consistent 3D models, accurate documentation and transparent workflows for design, installation and operation.

Core functions:

• 3D plant design for layouts, piping and plant models
• Rule-based piping design using piping classes and technical specifications
• Creation and subsequent modification of sloped piping
• Automatic generation of isometric and 2D layout drawings
• Wizards for vessels, nozzles, manholes and pipe supports
• Integrated report generator for material lists, BOMs and MTOs
• Data consistency and quality control functions
• Document management and a bidirectional Excel interface
• Interfaces and export options for Navisworks, IFC, 3D PDF, PCF, ROHR2 and CAESAR II

Would you like to make your 3D plant design more efficient, consistent and data-driven? Contact us – we will be happy to advise you on the right CADISON solution for your engineering projects.

CADISON MATPIPE is the module for piping class and catalogue management in plant design. It supports the creation, maintenance and standardisation of multidisciplinary component, manufacturer and piping class catalogues.

With MATPIPE, piping classes, parametric 3D components and catalogue data can be created, managed and made available for subsequent design tasks in a structured way. Centralised data management ensures that specification data remains consistent and can be reused reliably across P&IDs, 3D design, bills of materials and reports.

Core functions:

• Creation and management of piping classes
• Parametric editor for 3D components such as foundations, equipment, fittings, supports and valves
• Creation and maintenance of component, manufacturer and piping class catalogues
• Direct access to specification data for a high level of standardisation
• Import and export functions for efficient data maintenance
• Catalog2Cloud functionality for central catalogue management via an intranet or the internet
• Catalogue revision management for different catalogue versions
• Integration of manufacturer documentation and manufacturer-specific block graphics
• Report generator for reports and bills of materials
• Bidirectional interface to ERP systems

Would you like to manage your piping classes and catalogue data centrally, consistently and efficiently? Contact us – we will be happy to advise you on the right CADISON solution for your plant design requirements.

CADISON has a modular architecture and can be tailored to the requirements of individual engineering projects and disciplines. In addition to the core modules presented here for project management, P&ID design, 3D plant design, and piping class and catalogue management, a wide range of specialised modules and interfaces is available.

These include solutions for electrical design, structural steelwork, pipe supports, Visio-based P&ID creation, project archiving, navigation and validation of project data, as well as numerous integrations with existing engineering and enterprise systems.

Additional modules and interfaces include:

• CADISON Electrical Designer for integrated electrical design and documentation
• CADISON Steel Layout for steel structures and structural steelwork integration
• CADISON Pipe Support Modeler for pipe supports and support systems
• CADISON P&ID Designer for Visio for Visio-based P&ID creation
• CADISON Archiver & Browser for project archiving and reuse
• CADISON Project Navigator for navigation, validation and paperless documentation
• CADISON IFC Interface for BIM Solutions for BIM data exchange
• CADISON Inventor Interface for integrating Autodesk Inventor data
• CADISON ERP Interface for data exchange with ERP systems
• CADISON ROHR2 / CAESAR II Interface for pipe stress analysis
• CADISON Equipment Simplifier for reducing the complexity of large equipment models
• CADISON Application Programming Interface (API) for integrating external systems

This modular architecture allows companies to use precisely the functions required for their projects. At the same time, CADISON can be expanded flexibly and integrated into existing engineering, documentation and enterprise processes.
