Intergraph Smart® Electrical enables electrical engineers, designers, maintenance personnel in EPCs, and plant owners to design and maintain the electrical equipment and documentation for process plants, refineries, and so forth. Smart Electrical is designed to meet specific needs of electrical engineers by automating work processes, complying with corporate or project standards and manipulating electrical data throughout the plant and project life cycle.
The software allows you to create electrical equipment and components and then dynamically associate among them. You can determine the load requirements in your plant, keep track of your electrical inventory, size your plant cables, and establish the electrical relationships among the different electrical components.
You can use Smart Electrical to generate single line diagrams, schematic drawings, wiring drawings, and cable block diagrams without an external CAD engine and thus generate these deliverables automatically, creating graphical reports based on the engineering work itself. Electrical engineering deliverables include electrical equipment list reports, consumer list and load summaries, power distribution board design, single-line diagrams, cable block diagrams, and schematic drawings, as well as cable lists and wiring reports.
Smart Electrical supports the major commercial databases and outputs drawings in common CAD formats, including SmartSketch, and generates reports in Microsoft Excel format.
Smart Electrical incorporates the latest Microsoft technologies, such as OLE automation, to provide integration with existing data and other systems. Smart Electrical does not require a traditional, expensive CAD engine for the creation of single line diagrams, cable block diagrams, or schematics. The open architecture of Smart Electrical permits integration with other systems, such as Intergraph Smart Instrumentation and ETAP, which allow users to share data with third-party software.
In the Smart Electrical main window, the following windows are available:
Enables you to quickly create, modify, view, and select items in your plant inventory.
Enables you to create your default electrical equipment and data, loads, panels, and cables, which you can then use to create and populate the plant database in an efficient and consistent manner. The Reference Data Explorer enables you to define equipment profiles, a powerful means of creating standard data. You can apply this data in batch mode to a large number of items of the same type, such as motors, resulting in the creation of plant items and populating them with default data.
Enables you to create, modify, and display the electrical relations between various electrical items. In this way, you establish the electrical infrastructure.
Allows you to copy existing partial or complete power network structures by dragging items from one or more specified plants to the Electrical Engineer in the current plant.
Displays the data fields of the currently selected item in tabular style where you can edit the property values as needed.
Enables viewing and editing of items of the same type, and batch assignment of properties to a selected group of items. You can also use the EDE to select items for including in reports.
