Smart Plant Layout

[2bberean]

I have a chance to use this on a front end job and was wondering if anyone has seen it yet or has an opinion. Its an auto-routing package similar to the old "Optimeyes" at Fluor but apparently without the bugs. Any input out there?

Hi thr.. I have also worked with Fluor for close to 4 years .. :)

I had a chance to work on older version of SP Layout.. using sample data of SPLayout project.. Its a nice package wherein you define obstruction zones, place eqip as blocks, place some nozzles and then using piping spec specs(created for Sp Layout), the software will automaticLLY generate optimum layout arrangements..It uses I-Route as the auto-routing engine.. You can then take mto of of most feasible arrangement and I think using some software called prism or something you can get the pricing details.
I also happen to attend a demo on Bently PlantWise when in Seoul, South Korea. ..a similar product..It also seemd grt..

i will see if i can get the old SPLayout presentations.. send me ur email ID..
