Aspen Basic Engineering (ABE) is a database-driven productivity tool that integrates all aspects of Basic Engineering and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED). Because of the focus on FEED, ABE allows the customer to import a process simulation, generate a Process Flow Diagram (PFD), Equipment and Instrument datasheets and lists, early cost estimates, and heat exchanger designs.
Integration between Smart P&ID and Aspen Basic Engineering provides a platform for a digitized, data-driven approach for using equipment and stream data as the source for detailed plant design using Smart P&ID
The benefits of this integration are:
-
Seamless transfer of engineering information from Basic Engineering / FEED to Detailed Engineering and Operation
-
Reduction in time and effort for execution of the project as the data flow is streamlined
-
High quality and consistent deliverables
-
Maximized design reuse and increased efficiency for repeat technology deliverables
ABE integration works only with the Smart P&ID on-premise environment. ABE integration
is not supported in the Intergraph Smart Cloud environment.
