The following tasks are used when you work with Smart 3D in an integrated environment.

Register with SmartPlant

Before starting the workflow, an administrator must register the model in the Project Management task. There can be only one registration per model. For more information, see the Project Management documentation.

When you register the model, you create a relationship between the local model and the SmartPlant Foundation URL/plant. This operation creates a unique signature for the tool/model combination being registered.

Define the Workspace and Populate the Work Breakdown Structure

  • Define or open a workspace in the software. For more information, see Define Workspace

  • Populate the WBS, shown on the WBS tab in the Workspace Explorer. If you are working with a correlated SmartPlant project, you can populate this tab by retrieving a project list. For more information, see Retrieve Documents. If you are working in as-built, create projects and objects manually using the Create WBS Project or Create WBS Item commands. For more information, see WBS Items and Projects.

  • Set the active project using the drop-down list on the main toolbar. For more information, see Select Active Project Dialog Box.

Retrieve Documents

Retrieve documents such as PBS, P&IDs, and instrument DDPs (Dimensional Data for Piping). The software allows you to retrieve the documents that pertain to the active model only. For more information, see Retrieve Documents. To retrieve an electrical cable schedule, go to the Electrical task to perform the retrieve. For more information, see the Electrical documentation.

Update Retrieved Data

There are several ways to update the retrieved data. For information on any of the commands listed below, see SmartPlant Menu.

  • Use the View P&ID command to open a retrieved P&ID. You can view correlated objects (new or changed objects) using the P&ID Viewer. You can view deleted objects using a filter with the Correlation Status property.

  • Use the Correlate with Design Basis and Compare Design Basis commands to trace the differences between the P&ID and the 3D model. The Correlate with Design Basis command is used to correlate objects previously modeled in Smart 3D to the retrieved P&IDs.

  • Use the View Cable Schedule command to create and update the retrieved electrical cables in 3D model. For more information, see View Cable Schedule (see View Cable Schedule ).

Model and Update Objects

Model piping, instrumentation, and equipment objects while using the P&ID as a visual To Do List.

Publish Documents

Create and publish drawings and reports, if necessary. You can also publish 3D model data in the Drawings and Reports task or using the Tools > Drawing Console command. For more information, see the Drawings and Reports Help.

After publishing the 3D Model Data, you can view the data in SmartPlant Foundation and SmartPlant Review.

Back Up the Database

Back up the databases in the Project Management task. For more information, see the Project Management documentation.
