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 P&ID-Designer
The Module for P&ID Project Environment
CADISON® P&ID-Designer is a rulebased engineering solution that
effectively supports the engineer in
the plant design phase. Industrial
and own standards make it possible
to accurately design a plant with
taking the correct planning decisions. The CADISON® P&ID-Designer
plays a decisive role in design, construction, commissioning and maintenance so that it has an important
influence on the complete lifecycle of
a plant. Apart from the P&I diagrams
the P&ID-Designer even creates
block flow charts and process flow
diagrams (PFD). The CADISON®
P&ID-Designer is a graphic-based
workplace.
Beginning with a blank drawing, all
main components known already
may be positioned in the drawing by
use of comprehensive catalogues (as per EN ISO 10628, ANSI etc.). Of course, access to projects prepared by use
of other modules is possible as well, such as Project Engineer, and the objects may be easily inserted in the flow
chart by means of Drag & Drop.
Automatic Structuring
During positioning of main objects, drives are graphically positioned as own objects and automatically linked with the
associated main object. Pipe nozzles on tanks and vessels may be allocated to the tanks or vessels as subordinated objects. After connection of pipeline they are automatically given the diameter of pipeline. Moreover, manholes
are treated as own objects and displayed separately from the tank nozzles.

Automatic Marking and Assignment
All positioned valves and fittings and the equipment are automatically given definite markings (e.g. DIN or KKS). The
numbering system of which can be easily adapted to the company-specific requirements. Shown texts are aligned
according to standard and managed on own inscription layers. Valves and fittings installed in lines are given the corresponding specification parameters from the pipeline. However, additional free inscriptions can be prepared but with
all properties of the object given as fully associative texts.
Inscription masks are available for short parts lists or complex inscriptions. The latter are directly linked with the
object as well and are immediately updated in a dynamic mode.
Cross-sheet Processing
Cross-reference objects are available for cross-sheet processing that are consistently updated even in case the
drawing data are changed (sheet numbers, drawing number etc.). The decision on data to be shown at the interfaces
is freely configurable. When installing valves and fittings in pipelines, the system will be subdivided into single partial sections so that later processing is made easier.
Thus even complex line routing with reducers etc. can be implemented but the pipeline system can be furthermore
treated as a whole.
Dynamic Adaptation of Flow Direction
Pipelines and accessories (valves and fittings, tees etc.) have their definite flow direction. Butterfly valves, pumps
etc. will automatically respond. Flow directions may be changed even in subsequent planning stages, and parts
bound to a specific flow direction will be reversed automatically.
Automatic Path Finding
Being an integral module, CADISON® P&ID-Designer offers the automatic path finding system. Thus more rapid
navigation is possible so that simulations and process optimization can be accomplished. The controlled presentation of lines with colours and line types takes place in a parameterized mode via the stored configurations (company
standards).
The allocation of lines to pipe classes and fluids ensures that additional specifications and calculations are possible. All dependencies are included for automatic line inscriptions.
Plant limits, even KKS functional units, can be graphically defined via a drawing so that all objects located inside may
be immediately allocated. Thus the dependence on the plant is preserved and the superior marking system can be
automatically used.
Independent Report Generator
All data created by means of CADISON® P&ID-Designer can be issued by the integrated report generator in most
different forms and formats. This could for instance be a list of valves and fittings or a preliminary computation for
calculation of the required quantity structure. All reports can be revised and have release mechanisms. They are stored directly within the CADISON® project. All documents can be presented even automatically as PDF.
