Released in August, the newest version of Standard Database for SmartPlant Reference Data is a preconfigured, best practice solution to enable rapid implementation of SmartPlant 3D and materials management. The Standard Database reduces the effort required to define items, descriptions and dimensions that satisfy requirements throughout various phases of a project by delivering a comprehensive range of commodity codes used to uniquely describe materials through a project lifecycle. A major part of the new release includes providing all SmartPlant Reference Data users access to available Process Industry Practices (PIP; www.pip.org) piping material specifications. The new version of Standard Database will include 40 PIP specifications, with a further 25 to be available in the next release. — Intergraph, Huntsville, Ala.
