CADISON® Project Engineer is your tool for plant design, Engineering calculations and detailing of your plant by adding all required components (objects) to the project while taking them from the catalogue. Simple Drag & Drop operations are sufficient with completely text based operations without the obligation to have a graphical environment. This approach is called "Conceptual Engineering". The target of CADISON® Project Engineer is to provide the user with data for calculation without large efforts and already at a very early time.

CADISON® combines the engineering workflow in one system and thus significantly accelerates the planning processes. All users can see on their workplaces - either graphically or as schematic, as 3D model or text-based in a
tree structure – the same data and objects in each case so that they can be optionally used and modified on all workplaces through simple Drag & Drop.
Data and/or objects are existing once only. Thus errors as a result of redundant data management are excluded. The
sophisticated right system ensures that tasks are handled selectively. Modifications introduced by other users are
immediately made available to all other users. The continuity of the individual work steps in one object-oriented
database forms the core of the CADISON® technology. CADISON® uses the widespread platforms Autodesk AutoCAD
or Microsoft Visio for graphical presentations.

CADISON Project-Engineer
The Module for Project- and Plant-Engineers
Conceptual Engineering
CADISON® Project-Engineer is your tool for design, calculation
and detailing of your plant by adding all required components
(objects) to the project while taking them from the catalogue. Simple Drag & Drop operations are sufficient with completely text
based operations without the obligation to have a graphical environment. This approach is called “Conceptual Engineering”.
The target of CADISON® Project-Engineer is to provide the user
with data for calculation without large efforts and already at a very
early time.
Dynamic Cooperation with different Disciplines
CADISON® offers different disciplines to the users, such as process
engineering, project management, planning, design, electrical engineering and calculation, so that a common data pool is already
available for work on the same project in a very early project
phase.
No Redundancy
All information – independent of the workplace where they are
generated or modified – is directly deposited in the project. Consequently, it is sufficient to depict the object information (e.g. the
nominal delivery rate of a pump) only once, and subsequently it is immediately available to all users. It is irrelevant
whether or not the modification is made on the object in the plant structure tree, in the P&I diagram, in the 3D layout plan, in the electric circuit diagram or in another module. In case one user of the above pump adds a parameter (e.g. the nominal delivery rate) another user may adapt the nominal diameters of connections accordingly.
All different modules incorporate only “another mode of consideration” of the project. The concept of object-oriented
database ensures 100 % data consistency and offers the strategic advantage of dynamic work in project groups.

Plant Conception
CADISON® Project-Engineer helps the project
engineer to design a specific plant. A number of
questions must be answered, such as:
· Which are the mass balances?
· Which fluids shall be used?
· Which core components shall be included in the
plant?
· What is the basis for plant structuring?
· Which components are required?
· Which equipment is required?
· Which pipelines shall be included in design?
The above data is used and inserted by Drag &
Drop in the structure tree and supplemented by
detail information, if applicable. Data may be further developed and detailed at a later date or
even in parallel already e.g. in P&ID-Designer or
3D-Designer. CADISON® allows you to take your
own decision on the method and selection of
module for project processing.
Project Calculation and Tendering
Complete project calculation up to final tender preparation is directly possible from CADISON® Project-Engineer.
Even calculated values may be added to the actual technical data and information. Said calculation data can be
called up either as fixed cost items or calculated through time objects. The deposited data can be summarized as
single, group or project items. Capital structures can be developed and used for direct support in the tender planning stage through use of self-defined text modules.
Independent Report Generator
All data prepared with CADISON® ProjectEngineer may be put out through the integral
report generator in most different forms and formats. For example, such data could be a list of
valves and fittings or an advance payment so
that the required quantity structure can be calculated. All reports can be revised and have
release mechanisms. Reports are directly stored within the CADISON® Project.
