Reduce cost and increase quality of design documentation in a manner that it painless for everyone but the drawing office.
There is a cost/accuracy trade off in design with conventional drawings and documents as shown here:
With DAD it is no longer necessary to repeat information and the information is held in the one model: there is a huge reduction in cost and, at the
same time near perfect accuracy in the design documentation. With all team members working together in the same model collaboration is automatic: all
users see the same information.
Design schedules can be compressed.
All users can find:
-
What equipment is required
-
Where it is to be located
-
How it is to be connected.
They can also gain instant access to any reference material embedded in DAD. All information can be found with only a few mouse clicks.
-
Accurate and timely information reduce the risk of project delays and rework significantly.
-
You can use the model to ensure conformance with relevant codes and standards.
-
Estimating is simpler because the scope of work is fully specified.
Everyone can access information with only a few mouse clicks.
Imagine if you could:
-
Find any item in the system by:
-
Name (or part of the name)
-
Type of component/connector
-
Where it is installed
-
What it is connected to
-
Any data value in any item
-
Which document it has been published on.
-
Trace connections find circuits on the screen
-
Discover spare capacity directly
-
Track all changes and the state of every item
-
Find all related information for any item
-
Integrate the activities of your team members automatically.
You can do these and more with DAD.
