Fact
Intergraph is the leading supplier of engineering and CAD software to the plant design industry in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

Problem
If Engineers and CAD technicians are not trained and familiar with the Intergraph products that the engineering companies are using to-day, then your placement becomes more difficult.

Question
As an Piping Designer: Are you trained in the use of Intergraph's current products: SmartPlant, INtools and PDS?

Solution
pipingdesigners.com can help you achieve a higher employment success rate by offering you cost effective training on the above products.

Training Courses Available
pipingdesigners.com currently offers a course for the PDS 3D Equipment & Piping Design.

About this course?

PDS 3D Equipment & Piping Design

This is a 5 day course and will be held in Dublin and/or Cork.

The main capabilities of the PDS Equipment Modelling and Piping Design Task are addressed including equipment modelling using three-dimensional "building blocks" and interactive piping layout, line routing and automatic component placement.

The student learns how to view the model, to use other engineering models as reference data, to review piping attributes and to modify and reconstruct the piping model.

The student is introduced to the interaction between the job specification and the piping software.

This course is designed for Piping Designers, Piping Engineers, System Programmers, and System Managers who design and layout the piping of a plant and/or are involved with the installation and maintenance of PDS software.

Previous CAD experience, preferably MicroStation, particularly an understanding of 3D space. Experience in equipment layout/piping design/draughting.

Major topics covered:

Equipment modelling:
o Building Equipment from 3D primitives
o Building Equipment from parametrics
o Equipment modification/manipulation
o Data review/revision
o Nozzle manipulation

Piping Design:
o Centreline routing and creation
o Pipe & component placement
o Model revision and reconstruction
o Speciality item placement
o Pipe support placement
o Data review/revision

We will in the future offer the following courses:

* SmartSketch - basic 2D CAD drawings (2 days)
* SmartPlant P&ID – engineering process schematics (2 days)
* SmartPlant Electrical – electrical distribution network designs (3 days)
* INtools – instrumentation data & drawings (4 days)
* PDS 2D – process & instrumentation data & drawings (4 days)
* PDS 3D – modelling of all plant engineering disciplines (varies, starts at 4 days)
* Frameworks Plus – plant structural modelling (3 days)
