Rapid Creation of Intelligent P&IDs
OpenPlant PowerPID is piping and instrumentation design software, with all of the components needed to create P&IDs quickly and consistently. It was designed first and foremost as an intelligent, data-driven (or rules-driven) package leveraging the best features of both AutoPLANT P&ID and PlantSpace P&ID. OpenPlant PowerPID is designed to be the most productive solution on the market for creating P&IDs.

Conceptual Design Through to Detail Design
Support for iRING data exchange allows for the automatic generation of P&IDs from other sources. OpenPlant PowerPID supports using Bentley i-model and ISO 15926 RDF/OWL-based interoperability features within OpenPlant PowerPID, AXSYS.Process, Bentley I&W, and Data Manager to enable specific data exchange capabilities between these products and external data sources supporting ISO 15926 RDF/OWL iRING protocol.

Integration with Plant Project Database
Data can either be stored using the drawing file as a repository or in the Bentley Plant Project Database. Plant Project Database integration provides users with the ability to natively integrate OpenPlant PowerPID with other Bentley plant applications such as Instrumentation and Wiring, Bentley Datasheets, Bentley Data Manager, and AutoPLANT Plant Design Workgroup.

Consistency Checking
OpenPlant PowerPID comes with a rules engine that allows users to create design checking rules that are configured based on the ISO 15926 model. The user can select from one of the available persistence modes to determine when the rules are run: immediately, on a timed basis, or on user request only. When a rule finds a component in an invalid design state, the component will be flagged for follow up. The rules engine allows company-specific rules to be separated from the open data model, giving organizations the flexibility to create PIDs reflecting their competitive edge. |

Design History
OpenPlant PowerPID allows users to roll back the data and associated P&ID changes to previous revisions through the Design History feature. Using the design history feature, the graphics and associated data can be updated to reflect earlier piping and instrumentation designs as required.

Content Browser
Navigate through the drawing file using the Content Browser to zoom to, highlight, and isolate specific components. The Content Browser also gives you the ability to display the connectivity of the equipment/piping as well as the order of the inline components that are in the drawing file. |
|
|
Enhanced Assembly Management
OpenPlant PowerPID provides extensive capabilities for management of assemblies. Assemblies can be placed as a group or individual components and stand-alone or inline assemblies are supported. Data is automatically associated with the assembly which can be modified prior to the actual use and insertion of the assembly within a P&ID. This lets organizations define, maintain, and manage complete graphical and plant engineering best practices in one place.

|
Support for Parametric Components
OpenPlant PowerPID supports the use of parametric components based on relevant plant engineering information and has a dynamic user interfaces to preview the component prior to insertion. Parametric vessels with dynamic heads and internals, parametric control valves with dynamic actuators, and selectable end conditions are just a few of the options available in OpenPlant PowerPID.

|
Supports DWG and DGN Formats
OpenPlant PowerPID can save work in either a DWG or DGN format in order to produce intelligent deliverables. The drawing intelligence will persist regardless of the format of the deliverable chosen.

Native Interoperability with iRING
Support for iRING data exchange allows for the automatic generation of P&IDs from other sources. OpenPlant PowerPID supports using Bentley i-model and ISO 15926 RDF/OWL-based interoperability features within OpenPlant PowerPID and AXSYS.Process
