Intergraph Standard Database (SDB) for SmartPlant Reference Data

The Intergraph Standard Database (SDB) for SmartPlant Reference Data is a centralized means of efficient managing of catalogs and specifications for multiple design systems and materials management. Its initial release is configured to support 90 metallic piping component definitions according to various U.S. standards, such as ASME/ANSI and API. The content for metallic piping includes more than 10,000 commodity codes and more than 1 million individual parts with full dimensional data for 3D modeling and weights. The SDB for Smart Plant Reference Data can reduce project implementation time by 3–12 months, and cut operating costs by minimizing training and eliminating the need for clients to re-enter the same standard reference data. It can also provide a common collaboration platform for all joint venture partners in a project supply chain spanning the entire project lifecycle.
