Intergraph CAS is unique among plant design software providers in that we are developers of both design and engineering software. This has given us the opportunity to integrate the two PRODUCT families at the tightest possible level, an area in which Intergraph CAS has continued to lead the industry for the past 15 years. The INTUITIVE bi‐directional links between CADWorx and Intergraph CAESAR II pipe stress and Intergraph PV Elite vessel ANALYSIS programs allow designers and engineers to seamlessly collaborate during the project design stage.

The seamless integration allows users to maintain accurate and up‐to‐date drawings and models, which provides at least four benefits:

1. The “enter once‐use many times” philosophy saves the time and expense of re‐ generating the model by each of the project’s data consumers;
2. Models automatically generated from the original CADWorx 3D plant model will have much greater accuracy than would models recreated for each specific task,
3. Synchronization of the design and analytical models assures engineering concurrency; and
4. Timely modification of all models as changes are made by INDIVIDUAL disciplines reduces the time and expense of plant as‐building post‐startup.
