The ability to run the software successfully is greatly affected by the order in which all the necessary and underlying products are loaded. Follow the loading order below to prevent components being out-of-sync. Following this loading order also helps with analysis of any post-installation problems you might encounter.

The following table outlines the established load order for the prerequisites associated with each of the Smart 3D installations:

Database Server Installation

Workstation Installation

Windows Sever 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016

Windows 7 SP1 Professional or Enterprise with UAC 'On' at Level 3 (Default) (64-bit)

Windows 8.1 Professional or Enterprise with UAC 'On' at Level 2 (Default) (64-bit)

Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise with UAC 'On' at Level 3 (Default) (64-bit)

Oracle 12c R1 (12.1.0.2) Standard Edition 2 or Enterprise Edition (64-bit)

Oracle 12c R1 (12.1.0.2) Client Release 32-bit; (Do not use the Oracle "light client" as it does not include some DLLs required by Smart 3D.)

Oracle 12c R1 (12.1.0.2) Client Release 64-bit is required if you are running 64-bit Interference Checking or 64-bit Drawings Batch.

-OR-

-OR-

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (Standard Edition for stand-alone environments; Enterprise Edition for Global Workshare environments; 64-bit)

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (Standard Edition for stand-alone environments; Enterprise Edition for Global Workshare environments; 64-bit)

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Client (64-bit)
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Client1 (64-bit)

SmartPlant License Manager 2012 (12.0) or higher

SmartSketch 2016 (9.0 or later), if you are using material handling mode.

Install other SmartPlant applications, such as SmartPlant P&ID, before you install Smart 3D if you plan to run both applications on the same computer. Always install Smart 3D last.

1 Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or 2016 Client is required only for the client software installation if the Project Management option is installed; otherwise, they are not integral to the default workstation software installation.

2 When creating drawing borders or embedded reports within the Drawings and Reports task on computers with Office, you must modify the security settings in Microsoft Excel to allow Visual Basic projects to run. For more information about Office and service packs, refer to the Microsoft web site.

Do not skip any restarts that are recommended by the system. Doing so can have unintended consequences.

Other users who want to perform different tasks in the overall design workflow might need additional software, such as:

  • Visual Basic 6.0

  • Visual Studio 2013 or higher

  • Siemens Solid Edge ST3, ST4, and ST5

  • MicroStation 8 - only required if 3D DGN output will be created. MicroStation 8 has a file size limit that is limited only by the operating system. MicroStation 8 can be used to open DGN files created with MicroStation J (V7).

  • Leica Cyclone 8 or 9.0

  • CloudWorx for Smart 3D 11.0

  • Tekla Structures Version 21

  • Tekla Smart 3D Interoperability Version 6 link

Additionally, if you intend to export PDS projects, you must install the appropriate PDS add-in. The PDS data export add-ins are delivered on the product DVD.

  • This version of the software supports PDS 2011 SE and PDS 2011 R1 SE.

  • PDS software and all of its prerequisite software are also required in order to use the PDS integration functionality. For more information, see Integrating with PDS.

  • If you are installing the Name Generator Service on an Oracle 32-bit Client computer, the computer must be configured to access the Oracle database server through Net Manager.

  • If you are installing the 64-bit Name Generator Service on an Oracle 64-bit database server computer, the firewall must be configured to allow DCOM Dynamic Ports. For more information, see Configure the Firewall to Allow DCOM Communication in Windows Server.

Special Consideration for Non-English Locales

The system language specified for Microsoft Office must be the same as the system language specified by the operating system. For example, if your operating system language is English, Microsoft Office must also be set to English. For overall assistance with installing the software in a non-US English environment, visit the support web site at http://www.intergraph.com/support.

Virus Scanners and Performance

Other programs running on the computer, such as virus scanners, media players, and mail programs, might affect the performance of Smart 3D. Virus scanners affect performance by continuously checking the data files and log files. Exclude the database data folder on the database server from the virus scanner. For maximum performance, reduce the number of processes running while using Smart 3D.
