Intergraph ® Interfaces SmartPlant ® 3D with GexCon’s FLACS ® Explosion Analysis Software Integration accelerates and improves accuracy of design safety analysis HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Aug. Anti Crash Samp 0.3.7. 4, 2010 -- Intergraph ® has interfaced Smart 3D (SmartPlant and SmartMarine 3D) design software with GexCon’s FLACS ® explosion analysis software to enable users to analyze the design of their onshore or offshore facilities more quickly and with greater accuracy as they analyze impacts of explosions. Barbie Dreamhouse Party Ds Game. Intergraph Smart 3D rules-based design software helps users to build safety into plants early in the design process, enforcing regulation and engineering standards to increase safety, productivity and quality of operations. The rules-based engineering design capabilities ensure compliance with many of the world’s industry and safety standards organizations bodies. GexCon’s FLACS has been the leading tool for explosion consequence prediction on offshore oil and gas installations for more than a decade. Ideal for chemical, oil and gas, power and other plants involved in the handling or manufacturing of explosive or flammable materials or pressurized liquids and gases, the safety management software configuration helps identify safety risks early in the design phase thus improving safety and design quality and reduces higher costs for late corrections during construction and operation phases.

Now with the interface between Intergraph design software and FLACS, Smart 3D models can be imported for analysis and validation within hours or days. Install Software On My Pocket Pc Programs more. This capability reduces cost and increases model accuracy compared to the typical workflow of re-creating the model within FLACS which can take from one week to several months. The interface enables users to iterate designs options faster, with higher model accuracy, as they can analyze gas dispersion and explosion impacts. “Plant safety is a growing industry concern.

The interface between Intergraph’s rules-based 3D design solution and GexCon’s FLACS explosion analysis software can help designers increase productivity and enhance safety before plant construction begins,” said Tom Fiske, Ph.D., senior analyst with ARC Advisory Group, a leading industry analyst firm, and the author of its Process Engineering Tools ( PET) Worldwide Outlook Market Analysis and Forecast through 2013, whichranked Intergraph the No. 1 vendor of overall engineering designsoftware and process engineering tools. Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, “Intergraph Smart 3D rules-based design solutions inherently promote safer plant design, construction and operations. The interface with FLACS will further increase the safety, productivity and quality for our customers, while further enhancing the robust safety management capabilities of the SmartPlant and SmartMarine solutions suites.” “With Smart 3D conveniently interfaced to FLACS, users have a quick, reliable way of analyzing their 3D models for explosions and risk assessment,” said Olav Hansen, Product Director of GexCon.
