What problem are we solving
Let’s design a product where:
• It has millions of parts, takes years
to build, and a 40-year service life
• Design occurs during manufacturing
• Increasing complexity of designs
with advanced systems design
• Increasing interplay between
mechanical and electrical systems
• Reducing operation risk forces
reuse of proven systems
• Demands for faster delivery time
and lower costs
• A design change can span products
in service, manufacturing, and
design

P&ID Designer
What P&ID Designer IS
• Intelligent 2D P&ID Diagramming tool
• This application is for P&ID designers
• Intended for developing functional or logical
diagrams
• Includes authoring, libraries, validation, 2D
to 3D, and data management
• Completely new NX application developed
from the ground up
What P&ID Designer is not
• Simple drawing tool
• Process simulation tool
• Built on AutoCAD, Visio, or a 3rd party
product

P&ID Designer
Early Adopter Program Results
Overview
• Early look at P&ID Designer, NOT a beta test
• October, 20-21, Cambridge England
• Wartsila, IHC, Summit, Ideal, Dresser Rand
What went well
• Comments were very positive, software was stable
• UI discoverable and easy to use
• 2D to 3D story was well received
• Authoring/Edit performance was very good
• Users were creating diagrams with little guidance
Opportunities
• Automatic equipment selection, and replace equipment
• Support for run assignment as a post process
• Additional system-level control
• Bulk change capability
• Better flow direction management
