Take advantage of an integrated suite
Powerful and intelligent design and analysis
Hexagon’s array of analysis tools seamlessly merge with design offerings within Hexagon’s solutions
portfolio, such as CADWorx® and Intergraph Smart 3D®. Simultaneously, the tools interface with several
popular file formats from other solutions.

Enhance team collaboration by linking analysis results with Hexagon’s advanced data and document
management system. Serving as a nexus for data amalgamation and interoperability, this system
harmonizes and assimilates all analysis data within your organization, promoting synergy among different
teams and departments.

For example, CAESAR II can share pipe load data which allows structural to access these loads through
GT STRUDL for designing supporting structures. This cross-functional operation can yield significant cost
savings by eliminating rework and fostering collaboration across various disciplines and departments.

Similar bi-directionality exists through integrations between CAESAR II and PV Elite for analysis and
CADWorx and Smart 3D for design. Both allow the transfer of design data, eliminating rework during
project phases. PV Elite shares a bidirectional link with CADWorx, allowing design alterations in either
software to be synchronized with the other, reducing data entry errors and saving time.

Pipelines with their analysis data and conditions can be exported from the design system to
CAESAR II and vice versa. This integration not only speeds up modeling time per pipeline but also allows
the analyst to consider possible design changes or improvements within the context of the original
model. GT STRUDL also integrates with CADWorx and Smart 3D for modeling and analysis, in addition to
Intergraph Smart Construction for modular and staged construction sequence analysis.

These integrations empower Hexagon customers to cooperate on varied engineering projects with
diverse teams. Harness collaboration between departments and disciplines by integrating Hexagon’s
design and analysis solutions to see improved productivity, more accurate results and a unified digital
ecosystem.
