Isogen Isometric Drawings

 You can now produce cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings. To support this
enhancement, the Style list on the Setup dialog box now enables you to filter styles
according to the isometric drawing type. For more information, see Setup Dialog Box (Isogen
Isometric Drawing by Query Component).(P2 CP:273785 and CP:209035)
In this version of the software, cable tray and HVAC isometric drawing
options are limited to beta access. As such, isometric options specific to cable tray and
HVAC drawings are not visible in Isogen Configuration by default. To turn on cable tray
and HVAC options so that you have access to the full array of isometric drawing settings
provided by the software, please contact Intergraph Support
(http://www.intergraph.com/support).
 To support the creation of cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings, two new drawing styles

 In previous versions of the software, you used TreatTapsOnPipeAsTeeStubs to specify
whether the software managed taps as tee stubs or as regular taps when generating a
piping isometric drawing or when creating a piping component file (PCF). The software now
treats all radial taps placed on pipe as set-on tees, or tee stubs. All non-radial taps remain
as taps. (P2 CP:255192)
 Previous versions of Smart 3D refer to Piping Isometric Drawings. Because the software
now supports the production of cable tray and HVAC isometric drawings, the UI now reflects
the generic term Isogen Isometric Drawings. This document has been updated to reflect this
change in the UI. (P2 CP:259784)
 The Isometric Style Options Browser, which enabled you to control all of the options
related to the appearance and information content of the isometric drawing, has been
replaced with Isogen Configuration. For more information, see Isogen Configuration. (P2

report definitions to a style .xml file. For more information, see Export an isometric drawing
style fragment and Export Style Fragment Dialog Box. (P2 AL:14965)
 Isogen Configuration supports a new file path macro, $SYMBOLSHARE$. This macro
enables you to reference the SharedContent folder when specifying any path within an
isometric drawing style. Previous versions of the software required you to specify a hard-
coded path to reference any file located in the SharedContent folder. (P2 CP:105056)
 PCF syntax now supports the following material attributes: GEOMETRIC-STANDARD,
MATERIAL-OF-CONSTRUCTION,OUTSIDE-DIAMETER, OUTSIDE-DIAMETER2, RATING,

 A new OidType called Drawing Sheet enables you to pull properties directly from the
Drawing Sheet object.(P2 CP:123112)
 The software supports output of a double-banked material list on the isometric drawing.
Previous versions of the software supported offsetting the material list section only
along the Y (or vertical) direction of the drawing using Section2 Y Offset and Section3
Y Offset. Now you can also offset the material list section along the X (or horizontal)
direction of the drawing using Section2 X Offset and Section3 X Offset. You can set
this option using Materials > Drawing Material List > User Defined. (P3 CP:250733)
You can also use the Drawing Setup Tool to set the horizontal offset for the
report data contained in Section 2 and Section 3 of the material list. For more
information, see X under Section Two and Section Three in Drawing Areas Page and
Material List Page.

SECTION 7

Internationalization
Supporting internationalization in a homogeneous environment is one of the enhancements
available in SmartPlant Enterprise. A homogeneous environment uses elements from only a
single locale. For example, a German customer running on a German operating system using
only German characters and German cultural conventions is a fully supported homogeneous
environment configuration.

Homogeneous Environments
When starting a new project, use extra care during installation and configuration to ensure the
proper creation and maintenance of homogeneous environments:
 All the computers (servers and clients) within an integrated SmartPlant Enterprise
implementation must have the same regional settings, and no one should change the
regional settings after the project has started.
 Do not cross the decimal locale boundary. This is the most common cause of numeric data
corruption and calculation errors. Having users with different regional settings (such as with
a period versus a comma for the decimal point) causes the software to interpret values
unpredictably. For example, a pipe run with a pressure of 35.3 psi can be read by the
software as 353 psi to the user with different regional settings. A cable length defined as 39
ft 11,21 inches has been interpreted as 121718910971323 meters when published to an
XML file. These incorrect interpretations may be used in internal software calculations and
can be impossible to backtrack or correct. Do not change the decimal point character to try
to solve an issue. Doing so will only corrupt values in the database or in text files.
 Do not cross the character-set locale boundary. For example, the character set boundary
between Western (Latin-based) and Eastern Europe (Cyrillic-based), or between Eastern
Europe and Japan.
 Create Oracle databases using AL32UTF8 for the database character set and AL16UTF16
for the NLS character set.
 Never modify the NLS_LANG registry entry on an Oracle client. Doing so causes the
character data not to convert to Unicode.
 Create Microsoft SQL Server databases with locale-specific collation settings and ensure
that all databases have the same setting.

Heterogeneous Environments
In contrast, a heterogeneous environment using elements from different, or even multiple
locales, is not supported. Many customers are currently operating in unsupported
heterogeneous environments and are often not aware of that fact. Examples of heterogeneous
environments:
 Entering or viewing Japanese data on an US/English operating system
 Using German Regional Settings (where the decimal point is a comma) on a US/English
operating system

Intergraph Smart 3D Release Bulletin 61

 Internationalization

 Using databases with different character encodings such as CL8MSWIN1251 or JA16SJIS

 Using multiple languages in a project, especially when crossing language-group boundaries
 Using an English server with different local language clients

International / Bi-lingual Projects

International bi-lingual projects are possible; however, great care must be used when
configuring these environments. Limitations exist and must be properly understood:
 Oracle and MS SQL Server databases can reside on any language operating system, as
long as the databases have been created and configured with proper Unicode and collation
settings.
 All SQL Server databases must have the same collation setting and reflect the master
language. Text is stored, sorted, indexed, and presented based on the collation setting. You
must determine which language will be used primarily to generate output (P&IDs, SLDs,
reports, approval documents, and so forth.) If Russian and English text is entered, and
Russian is the target locale, choose the collation based on the Cyrillic character set.
 All Microsoft operating systems (Japanese, Russian, German, and so forth) can enter
English characters. The reverse, however, is not true in most cases.
 Keyboard-locale can be changed as long as a character-set and code-page boundary is not
crossed. For example, English, German, French, and Spanish characters can all be used in
the same project because the same Windows® code-page (1252) is used. However, Russian
characters (code-page 1251) cannot be used in a US/English environment.
 You must decide which language operating system is the master for bi-lingual projects.
The following is an example of a Russian-based project:
Companies in the United States and the United Kingdom are working a project with a Russian
company and the deliverables (drawings, reports, and so forth) must ultimately be provided in
Russian. The companies in the U.S. and the U.K. are working the project using the master
Russian operating systems (possibly using virtual Russian operating systems running on
VMware Workstation). The U.S. and U.K. companies can install and use English Microsoft
Office products on the Russian operating system because Office products are globally enabled.
If a Russian interface exists for the SmartPlant Enterprise application, then Russian users can
use the Russian interface while the English-speaking users continue to use the US/English
interface. English-speaking engineers can enter English characters. Russian-speaking
engineers can enter Russian characters.
However, because the Russian locale uses different decimal and character-set locales,
everyone (English and Russian engineers) must use the Russian decimal symbol which is a
comma. For customization purposes, databases can be modified to accommodate new Russian-
specific requirements (fields, properties, and so forth.) Using filters, display sets, and other
software features, bi-lingual projects can be further customized. Graphic data, reports, and so
forth can be created in either or both languages.
Do not change regional settings to reflect a U.S. environment in order to resolve
problems in a non-US/English homogeneous configuration. Doing this creates a heterogeneous
configuration that will cause other possibly hidden problems that cannot be corrected. Everyone
working on a project must use the same regional settings and character set throughout the life of
the project.

Intergraph Smart 3D Release Bulletin 62

 Internationalization

Citrix XenApp Solutions for International Projects

Using Citrix XenApp Solutions, you can define environments that isolate users from having to
interact with non-native language operating systems while improving data integrity and
minimizing opportunities for data corruption. However, users must enter data using master
locale conventions for the project (decimal separator and date conventions, for example). You
can create these environments using different combinations of languages, but some limitations
exist. For example, you cannot use Russian and Chinese text together in a project. In addition,
special language characters (the German ä and ß for example) cannot be used if the master
locale is outside the western Latin-based languages (the master locale is Russian, Chinese,
Japanese, or Korean, for example).

Smart 3D supports the modeling of objects within a 100 km range (-50,000
meters to +50,000 meters along each axis) from the global coordinate system origin. However,
due to the 32-bit precision limitations of graphic cards, objects modeled further than 10,000
meters (6.2 miles) of the global coordinate system might not display correctly when you zoom in
(circular objects will appear distorted for example). If your model coordinate values are large (for
example, E = 60,000, N = 55,000), to get the coordinate readout that you want, you should
define a coordinate system at correspondingly large negative values (example, E = -60,000, N =
-55,000). Then, use the coordinate system that you created as your active coordinate system for
modeling and output. Do not bring this new coordinate system into your workspace.

Smart 3D Project Hardware Sizing Recommendations

Use these guidelines and examples in sizing Smart 3D hardware configurations, including those
that include Global Workshare Configuration (GWC).
Hardware sizing, especially for servers, depends on many factors such as:
 The number of concurrent users per site
 The number of sites (Global workshare)
 The size of the project (which translates into the size of the databases)
 Other software that is running on the machine
For best performance in medium to large Global Workshare Configurations, Intergraph
recommends using 64-bit hardware and operating system.
With a Microsoft SQL database on 64-bit hardware and operating system, Smart 3D was tested
with 11 Global Workshare sites. 11 Global Workshare sites is an upper limit that may or may not

Concurrent Users
The size of the system depends partly on the number of concurrent users, that is, users actively
working at the same time. In a Global Workshare Configuration (GWC), it is probable that work
will be done at several sites in a non-concurrent way. In this case, there is less impact on
performance. For example, if you have two sites with 60 users at each site but the users at the
two sites do not work at the same time, you could consider the user load to be 60 users.
In a Global Workshare Configuration when users are working concurrently at several sites, the
work done at one site will impact each site as the data is pushed to the other sites. In a hub and
spokes configuration, the data is first pushed to the hub then the hub pushes it to the other sites.
We estimate that the equivalent user load (the number of effective users) for each server to be
the users on that server plus 25% of the total concurrent users of all the other sites. For
example, in a configuration with 6 sites and 40 users at 5 sites, and 5 users at 1 site:
 When 3 sites (with 40 users) are working concurrently, the equivalent number of users at
each site is: 40 (concurrent users for this site) + (0.25 * (2 * 40)) (users for the 2 other sites)
= 60 users.
 When all 6 sites are working concurrently:
a. The equivalent number of users at each of the 40-user sites is: 40 + (0.25 * (165)) = 81
users
b. The equivalent number of users at the 5-user site is: 5 + (0.25 * (200)) = 55 users.

Project Size Estimates

Use the following estimates to help define project size. The model database is an important
factor in determining project size.
The number of users for each project size below (small, medium, and large) is the effective
number connected to a single server. The effective number of users should be calculated by
taking into consideration:
1. Global Workshare Setup - use the 25% formula above
2. Drawing Batch server - add 3 users
3. Remote IFC - add 1 user

One small project

 1 to 15 effective users on one database server
 32 GB of RAM recommended
 Model database up to 20 GB
 Server is used for model and catalog databases and catalog file server
 Separate interference checking (IFC) computer
 Separate drawing batch computer
 Name generator server and licensing computer
 Modeling (detail design) and administrator workstations can be on separate or on the same
computers

One medium project

 16 to 50 effective users on one database server
 64 GB of RAM recommended
 Model database 20 - 50 GB
 Databases and catalog file server
 Separate interference checking (IFC) computer
 One or more separate drawing batch computer
 Name generator server and licensing computer
 Modeling (detail design) and administrator computers can be on separate or on the same
computer
 Use a separate distribution server for Global Workshare Configuration

One large project

 51 to 100 effective users on one database server (contact Intergraph if you plan to have
more than 100 effective users on one database server)
 128 GB of RAM recommended
 Model database 50 GB or more

Intergraph Smart 3D Release Bulletin 76

 Smart 3D Hardware and Software Recommendations

 Databases and catalog file server (have a separate catalog file server for multiple large
projects or plants sharing the same catalog)
 Separate interference checking (IFC) computer
 Multiple separate drawing batch computer
 Name generator server and licensing computer
 Modeling (detail design) computers
 Use a separate distribution server for Global Workshare Configuration
 Administrator computer

Modeling (Detail Design) Workstation Sizing

The project size does not have a significant impact on the workstation because users will use
filters to define the objects with which they will be working.
 Intel Core i7, Quad Core
 6 GB RAM (2 GB RAM for operating system plus 4 GB RAM for single Smart 3D instance.
Other concurrently running programs will require additional RAM based on the programs
specific requirements.)
 Access to a DVD drive, either locally or through a network connection
 Monitor capable of a minimum of 1280 x 1024 resolution
 1 GbE network interface

OpenGL Graphics Cards

The following graphics card information is specific to 32-bit workstations. Intergraph is
investigating graphics cards for 64-bit workstations.
Graphics cards designed for 3D intensive applications that generate low CPU overhead and
meet the following requirements (AGP or better):
 32-bit main RGBA pixel buffer
 Hardware OpenGL 2.1 support
 Hardware Z buffer: 24 bit or higher
 256 MB RAM, 8-bit stencil buffer
 Hardware Alpha blending support recommended to improve speed of translucent object
display
 Hardware Anti-aliasing support recommended
 Use latest available drivers
Not all OpenGL graphics cards provide satisfactory results. Many of the recent generation video
cards provide some level of OpenGL acceleration. Some manufacturers provide poor OpenGL
drivers that can cause artifacts. Testing has shown that NVIDIA provides good drivers for its
Geforce2 and beyond Graphics Processing Units (GPU). Cards with double-buffered overlay
planes (such as the Wildcat cards) have an advantage because highlighting can be done
without having to do saves and restores, which may benefit performance in specific cases.

System Administrator Workstation Sizing

The System Administrator workstation includes Project Management synchronization, a memory
intensive process.
 Intel Core i7, Quad Core
 6 GB RAM (2 GB RAM for operating system plus 4 GB RAM for single Smart 3D instance.
Other concurrently running programs will require additional RAM based on the programs
specific requirements.)
 Access to a DVD drive, either locally or through a network connection
 Monitor capable of a minimum of 1280 x 1024 resolution
 1 GbE network interface

Database Server Sizing

With Smart 3D, 64-bit servers are required. The 64-bit versions of Microsoft SQL Server and
Oracle run on the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server.
For large projects, Intergraph recommends having a database server that is dedicated to Smart
3D and runs only one project. For medium and small projects, several projects can be run on the
same database server. However, having multiple projects on the same server increases the
server requirements. When sharing several projects, add additional hard drives and increase the
memory and CPUs. Another important performance feature for servers is to have dual network
cards. Also consider the impact of sharing on your network. The network latency between the
client and the database server should be less than 1ms on a gigabyte network.

Server Specifications
Project size Small Medium Large

Number of processor cores 4 4-8 8 or more

Memory for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle 32 GB 64 GB 128+ GB

Bus Size, OS, and Database 64-bit 64-bit 64-bit

The type of memory has a limited impact on the overall performance.

 Oracle 12c Standard Edition 2 only supports setups of up to two sockets and 16 threads.
 Running a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database on an Itanium processor-based server
has not been certified and should not be done.

Intergraph Smart 3D Release Bulletin 78

 Smart 3D Hardware and Software Recommendations

Hard Drives
Distribute files across several disk drives on the server. Each drive does not need a large
capacity. The speed of the drive is important, so use 15K RPM or faster.

Project with SQL Server

The following example shows a configuration for a project using Microsoft SQL Server. The
minimum distribution is four physical drives to separate the data files to increase the I/O band
operation performance.

C: Drive Operating system

D: Drive SQL Server software

E: Drive Database data files (.mdf files)

F: Drive Database log files (.ldf files)

Project with Oracle

The following example shows a configuration for a project using Oracle Server running on 64-bit.
The minimum distribution is five physical drives to separate the data files to increase the I/O
band operation performance.

C: Drive Operating system

D: Drive Oracle software

E: Drive Database data files

F: Drive Database index files

G: Drive Database redo files

Global Workshare Configuration Distribution Server Sizing

Global Workshare Configuration (GWC) might require a separate server for distribution for large
projects.
 Intel Xeon® 5600 Series or better (64-bit instruction set, not Itanium ®)
 16 GB to 64 GB or greater RAM depending on project size
 For hard drive size, see Smart 3D Project Hardware Sizing Recommendations (on page 75)
 Backup system for server
 Access to DVD drive, either locally or through a network connection
 1 GbE or higher network interface for client connections

Intergraph Smart 3D Release Bulletin 79

 Smart 3D Hardware and Software Recommendations

For small projects, a single server (the hub in a hub and spoke configuration) can act as a
publisher, a distributor, and a subscriber all at the same time. For medium projects in a Global
Workshare Configuration, the database server can also serve as the distribution server.
For large projects with many sites, use two different servers: one as publisher and subscriber
and the other as the distributor. Using a separate server as the distributor helps to reduce the
load on the publisher.

Interference Checking (IFC) Server Sizing

You should have a remote project processing computer for interference checking (IFC) that is
separate from the computer hosting the databases. The interference checking computer can
process more than one model. This computer does not need to be a high-end server, but should
meet the minimum hardware requirements for a client computer. See Smart 3D Workstation
Recommendations (on page 67) for these requirements.
There is not a specific hard drive size requirement because the interference detection service
does not store information locally. However, we do recommend 8 GB of RAM for the IFC server
when processing one model. When scaling up to process multiple plants, the memory
requirements might increase depending on the sizes of the databases being processed.

Batch Server Sizing

You can use remote project processing computers, or batch servers, to off-load compute
intensive tasks such as updating drawings in the Drawings task or running database backups
and integrity checks in Project Management.
You should have at least one remote project processing computer for each site database. This
remote computer does not have to be a high-end server, but should at least meet the minimum
hardware requirements for a client computer. See Smart 3D Workstation Recommendations (on
page 67) for these requirements.

File Server Sizing

You will need a computer to act as a file server with enough disk space for symbols and files.
This computer does not need to be a high end-server, but should meet the minimum hardware
requirements for a client computer. See Smart 3D Workstation Recommendations (on page 67)
for these requirements.

License Server and Name Generator Server Sizing

The Name Generator Service can be installed on a stand-alone computer or can be installed on
the same computer used for the file server, batch server, IFC server, or license server.

License Server
SmartPlant License Manager (SPLM) uses server/client architecture to distribute licenses for
Smart 3D (and other SmartPlant Enterprise products.) SPLM requires very little system
resources and so can be installed on the batch server, file server, IFC server, or database
server as long as the hardware configurations below are observed.
Intergraph recommends that the SmartPlant License Manager license machine software be
installed on a stable, single node, hardware configuration (such as a simple PC), with a static IP
address, because license key installation and license seat usage authentication depends on the
information gathered from the physical hardware.
Any changes that cause the hardware information to differ from the
information used to generate the license key will result in a failure of the authentication process.
For information about using SmartPlant License Manager in virtual environments, see Appendix
F: SmartPlant License Manager and Virtual Configurations.
Multiple SmartPlant License Manager license machines can be used in the user's network as
long as each system is a unique hardware system/installation. If SmartPlant License Manager
license machines are cloned after the license key has been installed, license management will
fail on the cloned system. Each SmartPlant License Manager license machine requires its own
unique license key.
