Using CAE for control systems. (computer-aided engineering)
Computer aided engineering has now arrived, thanks to the power of PCs and initiatives led by the UK
The UK is, once again, in the forefront of engineering with the application of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) to the design and management of process plant control systems.
Two CAE initiatives, Engines (ENGineering INformation System) from John Brown and SpEID (Software Product for Electrical & Instrumentation Design) from AMEC Process and Energy and IC=S, are dedicated to handling instrumentation and control systems, and both aim for improved quality and reduction of rework.
There are also several proprietary systems (see next page) that offer advances on traditional paper-based procedures, but none provide the full database flexibility and speed needed to handle the wide range of functions required by control systems, according to engineers from John Brown and AMEC.
These functions include controlled multi-access to engineering data using a database, which then allows concurrent engineering to proceed with a full audit trail.
