Integration standardizes and improves the communication among the various authoring tools you use in the course of designing, constructing, and operating a plant. Managing data exchange among these authoring tools enables you to share and re-use plant information throughout the plant life-cycle.
Data exchange is managed by the following applications:
-
SmartPlant Foundation (SPF) (all Smart Engineering Manager versions) for integration between Hexagon products. See Integration with SmartPlant Foundation.
-
Integration with Aspen Basic Engineering™ (ABE) (Smart Engineering Manager 12 and later). See Registering a Plant with Aspen Basic Engineering.
You can register the same plant with both of these applications.
