Cadmatic Diagram is an integrated computer-aided design system for flow diagram and P&ID design that uses a common master database.

Information flow from diagrams to later design phases (plant modeller and pipe) is assured by the full intergration

Information flow from piping diagrams to later design phases (Plant Modeller and Pipe) is assured by the full integration of the modules. Documentation for different piping and instrumentation diagrams, equipment lists, pipeline lists, valve lists etc. are produced. Intelligent symbols, unlimited process size, control of revisions and advanced database management with user-definable report generator and script language are just some of the features of the Diagram module.

Diagram can be used independently or with Plant Modeller and it can be interfaced with calculation software packages.

The plant modeller communicates with the diagram module to guide the engineer and produce a model that meets the specifications

Cadmatic Plant Modeller is an integrated, database-driven design module for 3D layout-, piping-, HVAC- and structural design of plants in shaded and colored views

Documentation such as layout-, piping-, HVAC- and structural drawings, is automatically produced. Plant Modeller uses a unique 3D viewing technique to allow the designer to efficiently change from conventional work methods to computer model design. Plant Modeller includes collision detection, shading and walk-around and its 3D modelling is among the fastest on the market. Plant Modeller has advanced database management with user-definable report generator and powerful macro language. It includes an interactive component modeller and special features such as tank design for example. Plant Modeller can be used independently or with the Diagram and Pipe modules.

Isometric drawing created in pipe module

Cadmatic Pipe efficiently produces all the required isometric and spool drawings and material take-offs in the manufacture and installation of piping.

Completed drawings (isometrics, spools, material take-offs) are produced automatically from the 3D model. The flexible and customizable Pipe module takes manufacturing technology into account. Data for bending machines and other manufacturing parameters can for example be added to the database. Pipe outputs manufacturing information such as cutting lists, surface treatment, welds, total weight and center of gravity.

Cadmatic Pipe Support Designer makes modelling of primary and secondary piping-, ducting- and cable tray supports very easy and fast.

It creates exact production drawings of supports. The designer simply inputs the location of the supports and the drawings are automatically produced. The dimensions of primary and secondary supports based on the pipe dimensions are also automatically created.

eBrowser is a useful maintenance and project follow-up tool as it provides easy access to equipment-, pipeline- and instrumentation data

The Cadmatic eBrowser enables effective communication between all parties involved in design projects by linking partners through the internet.

Designers, engineers, subcontractors and end clients are linked to a mutual 3D model allowing easy and concurrent project reviews, facilitated by the ability to virtually walk around the design area and access all design data. The eBrowser is a useful maintenance and project follow-up tool as it provides easy access to equipment-, pipeline- and instrumentation data by clicking on objects viewed in the eBrowser. Measurements can be taken in the plant 3D model and systems and objects can be located, visualized and isolated in the model with full linkage to related databases and documents.

Cadmatic CoDesigner enables concurrent project design work from several different locations. Cadmatic users are able to utilize the best resources around the world which substantially saves time and money.

CoDesigner makes it possible to add new design teams to a project with a few clicks. All object data is accessed via a check in/check out procedure that guarantees that only one designer can modify the same object at any given time. In a distributed project data is updated between the remote design sites via an on-line network connection such as the Internet. A new distributed project site is easily set up with the module's interactive tools.

COS Browser is used by the designers and administrators to easily manage the library, set-up data, data queries and document handling.

COS Browser is a common tool for all Cadmatic modules. It is used by the designers and administrators to easily manage the library, set-up data (such as component models, dimension standards etc.), data queries and document handling.

COS Browser makes data searches simple. The users can define their own dynamic data hierarchies with tree-views and carry out free text searches with google-type queries. The use of the software is extremely flexible since the same kind of user interface is available for process-, layout- and piping designers and administrators.

AutoCad 3D models can be directly imported and exported with Cadmatic eXchanger.

There are a large number of file transfer plugins to AutoCAD. This enables compatibility with different formats enabling Cadmatic users to transfer models from and to other CAD software applications, such as Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor and Catia.

For the export and import of 2D drawings from/to Cadmatic there is an intellingent module for dwg, dxf and dwf formats. High quality AutoCAD drawings automatically include interactive hyperlinks between AutoCAD 2D symbols and Cadmatic 3D objects. By clicking for example on valves, equipment or instrument symbols at the AutoCAD level, Cadmatic eBrowser immediately visualizes the location and provides the required object data. This can of course be done the other way round too.
