Intergraph Ships SmartPlant Electrical 3.0.HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Intergraph Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :INGR) is shipping SmartPlant(R) Electrical 3.0, the intelligent software for electrical engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. in the process, power and marine industries. The new 3.0 version features improved cable management, enhanced engineering functions and new drawing options designed to cut schedules and increase electrical distribution system reliability and safety. SmartPlant Electrical (ppm.intergraph.com/electrical) is the data-centric, integrated package for design engineering, construction, maintenance and operation of plant and offshore platform electrical distribution systems. Cable Management Optimizes Routing and Cable-to-drum Assignment Engineers can now reduce waste and increase engineering accuracy with a number of new cable management features. Automatically optimized cable-to-drum association assigns cables to drums based on pulling areas and predefined attributes. Cables can be organized and segregated by voltage level. Cable sizing calculations enable optimal design through length and load. Engineers can also create cableways and assign cableway ca·ble·way n. A suspended cable used as a track typically for a cable car. trays or conduit. The new cable management features are supported by cable routing reports with tray fill validation including space and weight fill factors. Includes Load Balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them , Protection and Metering Devices Engineering enhancements in SmartPlant Electrical 3.0 include load balancing tools along with metering and protective relay equipment capabilities. To help optimize load distribution across distribution panels, engineers can move loads from bus to bus while monitoring the total bus-connected load. For more accurate design, engineers can create and define ranges and protection settings of transformers, multi-function protective relays and a variety of online metering devices including voltmeters and ammeters. Provides More Drawing Options Engineers can insert additional devices on the automatically-generated single line diagram and save these to the project database for subsequent reference. To help make diagrams more readily understandable, users can specify the number of feeder circuits connected to one consecutive bus. Users can also embed an external drawing of any major CAD format into a drawing, associate the drawing with the particular device and manage revisions.
