4. What is the Structural Dashboard? The Dashboard is a free toolthat assists in managing the data & workflow of projects from start to finish. The Dashboard provides a Single Interfaceto learn how Bentley’s comprehensive productsintegratetogether in more efficient project workflows. It also a useful Launch Pad & Web Portal for easy access to any information on Bentley’s structural products, RSS News Feeds, Be Community Blogs & Forums, SELECT software downloads, support & sales.

5. Benefits of the Structural Dashboard • Easy access to open “recently opened model files” for any installed structural product • Project Folder & File management filtered by structural product • Quick links to Be Community website, log a support issue, contact Bentley Sales or SELECT • Real-time RSS News Feeds • Project Notes include quick links to specifications, design documents & project web sites or embed pictures, spreadsheets or add notes like project billing codes, contacts • All latest Product Versions

8. How do EPC’s Work Today? Pipe Stress Engineer Structural Engineer Piping Designer Pipe Supports (Type, Loads, Location)

9. How do EPC’s Work Today? • “A manual approach to managing these piping loads begins with analysis of the piping system to locate supports, guides, & anchor points. • After the analysis is complete the piping engineer sorts through the piping support reactions to find the critical casesthat the supports/ structure must be designed for. • These forces are hand markedon a multiple piping isometric drawings; with one copy given to the piping designerto complete the PDS piping model, locations of pipe shoes, guides, anchor points, etc; and Another copy given to the structural engineerfor designing the supporting structures. • While working in PDS / FrameWorks thestructural engineer would build the structural modelincorporating all the required pipe supports. To prepare the structural model for analysis the engineer must then search each isometric finding the support points and associated loads evaluate and apply them to the structural model. • “The biggest problem here is that a single process structure may have hundreds or thousands of piping isometric drawings associated with it, resulting in a vast amount of paper and manual evaluation. This is very inefficient and time consuming.”

10. The Typical way of working as a Structural Engineer is somewhat, if not all, Fragmented • Design Review, Clash Detection, & Collaboration ConstructionDocumentation • SP3D, ProStructures, Frameworks, Tekla Industry Standards (fragmented) • Document Management Structural Analysis & Design OtherTools, Software, & Techniques • Spreadsheet, Manual Data Transfer Project Data & Deliverables • STAAD • Companion Pipe Stress Analysis 3D Plant Design • AutoPIPE, CAESAR II • SP3D, PDS, AutoPLANT, OpenPLANT, PDMS Proprietary File Formats (fragmented)

11. Problem Is Consistent Across The Plant Market • EPC # 2 – “There are some significant disconnects between the pipe stress and the structural engineers. When conveying information from pipe stress to Structural, we typically provide the preliminary structural steel drawings to pipe stress for them to mark up loads on it.This is extremely inefficient. Also, piping should try to get as much structural steel put onto the steel drawings so that detailing, fabrication and erection can be done in a single pass” • EPC # 3 – We have some serious frustrations in the way piping designers do their work, interfacing with structural and mechanical. I know the current process is disjointed, but it is all our tools provide us.” • EPC #4 - We have standard loadings that take care of the major stuff.  The thing that is a killer is the special case stuff.  The thermal loads and piping movements, spring supports, anchor points etc; these types of things have special details, as well as high loads.  In addition, a structural engineer can’t guess where these things are going to be or what they will look like.  This has to come from the Piping Engineer and we have to sort through drawings.  Most of the time this info gets to structural at best just before you issue the drawings.  Sometimes it is after the first fabrication release has been sent out and you have to revise the drawings.

12. Why do we want to have Integration Across Disciplines? • Why do we want to Share or have Continuity of Information? • Design Review,Clash Detection, & Collaboration Construction Documentation Software • 2DX,SP3D,Frameworks, Tekla What if, as a structural engineer, you could receive quality data from the 3D plant model and the pipe stress model, and link these to your structural analysis and design model… • Starting with the Structural Analysis Model • …Including the Foundations (mats, pile caps, combined, pad) • …Including the Connections (gussets, moment, base plates, prequalified) • …Accounting for the various Codes (wind, seismic, load combos) • Combined with the Support information from the Pipe Stress Model • Develop the Steel/Concrete Design Documentation Deliverables ... to automatically create and maintain the engineering drawings, schedules, foundation designs, connection designs, piping isometrics, and more? …How could that impact your work and bottom line? • Document Management FEA Structural Design OtherTechniques • Spreadsheet, Manual Tech ProjectDeliverable • STAAD • Companion FEA Software Pipe Stress Analysis Multi-Disciplinary 3D BIM Environment • AutoPIPE, CAESAR II • SP3D, PDS, AutoPLANT, OpenPLANT, PDMS
