About SmartPlant P&D and PDS SmartPlant P&D is the data-centric, rule-based software for creating truly intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams. Featuring a comprehensive data model, an engineering rulebase, a simple user interface and advanced integration capabilities, SmartPlant P&D significantly reduces design time and increases accuracy. The world's most-used software for process plant design construction and operations, PDS provides an integrated environment for 3D tasks including equipment, piping, structural and HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) In the home or small office with a handful of computers, HVAC is more for human comfort than the machines. In large datacenters, a humidity-free room with a steady, cool temperature is essential for the trouble-free modeling as well as interference detection and visualization, and 2D tasks including PFDs and P&Ds, electrical and instrumentation. PDS reflects the 22-plus years of experience Intergraph offers for process plant design, operation and maintenance.
