OpenPlant PowerPID Capabilities
|
OpenPlant PowerPID has not only greatly enhanced Bentley’s ability to interoperate with open standards but also features new capabilities that leverage and greatly enhance Bentley’s previous intelligent P&ID software. Some of the new or enhanced features include:
- Intelligent cells: All data for plant equipment, valves, pipes, and so on are maintained with the cell in the ISO 15926 data format.
- Parametric components: For example, parametric vessels with dynamic heads and internals, parametric control valves with dynamic actuators and end conditions, and more.
- Deferred tagging: Draft your P&IDs and tag later – or enforce component tagging as you go – the choice is yours.
- Unique tag identification: Allows other CAD software to import objects from OpenPlant PowerPID, make changes, bring the data back to OpenPlant PowerPID, and synchronize with the original items – even if the tag number was changed or not defined in the first place.
- Process line management: Enhanced user interface for viewing and editing of line data.
- Assembly management: Complete management of standard assemblies. Assemblies can be placed as a group of components or as individual components. Data can be manipulated on the assembly prior to insertion.
- Improved component navigation, management, and manipulation: Zoom, highlight and isolate components automatically through the component navigation window. Create intelligent cells and associate to the ISO 15926 model from MicroStation cells, AutoCAD blocks, or from simple CAD elements. Component data views can be dynamically modified by users.
