Dear reader,<br />

It is our pleasure to present you with the latest<br />

edition of CADMATIC NEWS.<br />

In the early days CAD/<br />

CAE/CAM software was<br />

mainly developed to reduce<br />

man hours in the design and<br />

engineering of plants. This<br />

is still a valid justification with<br />

the current functionality of CADMATIC. An increasing number<br />

of new clients are however also choosing our software due<br />

to the increased flexibility we have developed. Plant owners,<br />

plant designers and suppliers now see the benefits of using<br />

our products as an integrated solution.<br />

The possibility to share 3D information during the design<br />

phase of plants means that both owners and designers<br />

increasingly use CADMATIC software not only as a design<br />

tool but also as a communication and discussion tool. This<br />

results in better quality from design to the end product with<br />

reduced costs.<br />

The 3D information provides owners with unique possibilities<br />

to use the system for plant maintenance. The software offers<br />

a shared platform for all parties involved in the plant design<br />

project: from basic design to detailed design and engineering,<br />

to manufacturing and installations and even to plant operation<br />

and maintenance.<br />

We are proud of the new CADMATIC version 5 which<br />

provides advanced features for real distributed design and<br />

data management. Our focus on the global distribution and<br />

concurrent use of our software in plant design projects will<br />

make the CADMATIC software suite even more useful.The<br />

new version enables the use of the most effective, suitable<br />

and advantageous free plant design recourses all over the<br />

world.<br />

The internet-based CADMATIC eBrowser has become a<br />

world-wide success. All users have been positively surprised<br />

by this easy-to-use tool for data distribution, monitoring and<br />

communication between parties.<br />

Cadmatic is pleased to see that our long-term efforts in<br />

the development of the software, services and business have<br />

resulted in the efficiency gains expected. We feel very confident<br />

that potential clients will recognize the development approach<br />

we took to achieve this new and wider usage of our systems.<br />

The management and employees of Cadmatic are highly<br />

dedicated to serving you with future developments that make<br />

your plant design even more attractive and efficient.<br />

In this newsletter we are happy to present you with our<br />

new software developments and news regarding the<br />

experiences of several CADMATIC clients.<br />

Version 5 of CADMATIC 3D Plant<br />

Design software includes a number<br />

of major new benefits. A completely<br />

new project data handling structure<br />

and database architecture has been<br />

developed. It lays a solid foundation<br />

for current and future developments<br />

and opens up new business<br />

opportunities for its users. It has<br />

been thoroughly tested and is ready<br />

for distribution.<br />

User-friendliness<br />

The increased user-friendliness of Version<br />

5 is a further improvement on an already<br />

highly appreciated feature. The software's<br />

logical system structure and the ease and<br />

familiar way the modules can be navigated<br />

make this the user-friendliest version to date.<br />

Ease-of-use has always been important<br />

in CADMATIC 3D software as it improves<br />

the efficiency of design work, engineering<br />

and production.<br />

Project design work<br />

from several locations<br />

One of the main advantages of Version 5<br />

is that concurrent project design work from<br />

several different locations is now logically<br />

structured and rational. The Cadmatic users<br />

are able to utilize the best resources around<br />

the world. This substantially saves time and<br />

money.<br />

New database-centric architecture<br />

with built-in support for concurrent and<br />

remote project work means that system<br />

usage and administration has been made<br />

very easy and effective. Transferring design<br />

work between several participating design<br />

offices is efficient and safe.<br />

To attach/detach design teams to a<br />

project is easy and straightforward. In big<br />

plant design projects it is crucial that several<br />

design teams can work simultaneously on<br />

the same project. This improves work flow<br />

and all process, manufacturing, installation<br />

and purchasing information such as<br />

drawings and material take-offs are<br />

produced faster and with fever man hours.<br />

The new CADMATIC Object Storage (COS)<br />

makes this possible.<br />

CADMATIC Object Storage<br />

(COS) data architecture<br />

CADMATIC Object Storage (COS) is<br />

completely new data architecture in Version<br />

5. Shared data such as the common component<br />

library, project set-up, and project


New Cadmatic<br />

Version 5<br />

Featuring completely new architecture<br />

for efficient design work at<br />

several different locations<br />

data (3D model and documents) is now<br />

stored in databases hosted by a database<br />

server. The architecture has been optimized<br />

to manage 3D design data.<br />

A major benefit of a version 5’s centric<br />

database is that it is easy to divide design<br />

work among several design offices globally;<br />

and the same updated project libraries, 3D<br />

model and 2D drawings are available for<br />

everyone involved.<br />

The flexibility of version 5 has gained<br />

much praise from designers. One can keep<br />

control of an entire model from a local<br />

workstation, whether it is next door to the<br />

server or on the other side of the globe.<br />

CoDesigner for efficient<br />

database handling<br />

CADMATIC Version 5 uses a database<br />

centric client-server system and therefore<br />

enables concurrent and distributed design.<br />

The CoDesigner handles database<br />

replication and other technical details "under<br />

the hood". This makes it possible to add<br />

new design teams to a project with a few<br />

clicks.<br />

Designed for<br />

good data integrity<br />

All object data is accessed via a check<br />

in/check out procedure that guarantees that<br />

only one designer can modify the same<br />

object at any given time.<br />

In a globally distributed project the data<br />

is updated between remote design sites via<br />

an on-line network connection (e.g. Internet)<br />

or by simply exchanging the file using an<br />

e-mail attachment. A new distributed project<br />

site is easily set up via interactive tools.<br />

Globally distributing project work is<br />

affordable, as an expensive high bandwidth<br />

connection is not necessary. System<br />

administration of distributed projects at remote<br />

design sites is also minimized.<br />

Efficient<br />

project management and<br />

communication<br />

The eBrowser application allows the easy<br />

sharing of 3D project information between<br />

designers, project management, plant<br />

owners and sub-contractors. It is a datapublishing<br />

tool that is easy to use and no<br />

special training is required by the user. By<br />

using smart visualization storage techniques<br />

the 3D models for visualization and data<br />

sharing become very light, thereby<br />

facilitating distribution to all parties involved.<br />

The eBrowser is also a useful tool for<br />

production planning.<br />

Simple data, library and<br />

document handling<br />

through COS Browser<br />

Cadmatic V5 includes a new common<br />

software tool called COS Browser. It is used<br />

by the designer or administrator to easily<br />

manage the library, set-up data (such as<br />

component models, dimension standards,<br />

connection types etc), data queries and<br />

document handling.<br />

COS Browser makes the data searches<br />

simple. The users can define their own<br />

dynamic data hierarcies with tree-views,<br />

carry out free text searches with googletype<br />

queries.<br />

The use of the software is extremely<br />

flexible, since the same kind of user interface<br />

is available for process-, layout-, piping<br />

designers and administrators.<br />

Increased security<br />

In distributed environments information security<br />

is an important issue. The system supports<br />

customizable user profiles with<br />

different levels of access to databases and<br />

system configurations. Deletions are for<br />

example controlled so that it is impossible<br />

to accidentally remove any library data that<br />

is being used in projects. All client-server<br />

and server-server communication is done<br />

via a proprietary protocol that is less<br />

vulnerable to attacks than more common<br />

protocols.<br />

Feedback from pilot users<br />

of Version 5<br />

“Our designers have found it very easy to<br />

get used to the new system of version 5.<br />

The feedback has been good and no time<br />

was spent on non-productive work. I<br />

personally thought it would be more difficult<br />

to get used to the new way of thinking. It is<br />

a great benefit that no special training is<br />

required to begin working with version 5 if<br />

you are familiar with the previous version”.<br />

“We found the COS Browser very handy,<br />

when searching components for the new<br />

layout from the library”.<br />

“I didn’t expect that the handling of the 3D<br />

database would be so simple. Project<br />

administration can now be managed by our<br />

designers as well”.<br />

Open software with<br />

enhanced Data Exchange<br />

CADMATIC supports data exchange e.g.<br />

with:<br />

- Web servers (relational databases, http)<br />

- MS SQL Server: ODBC<br />

- eXchanger makes it possible to import<br />

and export 3D geometry from/to other<br />

CAD systems (AutoCad, Inventor, Catia,<br />

SolidWorks...)<br />

-Intergration with civil engineering<br />

systems (e.g. X-Structures)<br />

- Link to/from PDMS<br />

- Link from laserscanning (e.g. Leica, Mensi)<br />

- Integration with stress analysis software<br />

(e.g. Caepipe, CaesarII)<br />

- Integration with document management<br />

systems (e.g. Kronodoc)<br />

- Integration with ERP and maintenance<br />

systems (e.g. SAP)<br />

The main site co-ordinates design activities in a distributed project. The sites can create any number of<br />

sub-sites. Data updates are conducted via a direct database server connection or by exchanging compressed<br />

update files.<br />

Intelligent<br />

AutoCAD<br />

compatibility<br />

The everyday use of CADMATIC is largely<br />

improved by its compatibility with other<br />

external CAD–software. This eliminates<br />

duplicating work and reduces design hours.<br />

eXchanger<br />

AutoCAD 3D models can now be directly<br />

imported with eXchanger. There are a large<br />

number of file transfer plugins to AutoCAD.<br />

This enables compatibility with different<br />

formats enabling CADMATIC users to<br />

transfer models from other CAD software<br />

applications, such as SolidWorks, AutoDesk<br />

Inventor and Catia.<br />

The eXchanger can be downloaded free<br />

of charge at "http://www.cadmatic.com"<br />

Intelligent<br />

2D Drawings<br />

For export and import of 2D drawings from/to<br />

CADMATIC there is now also an intelligent<br />

module for dwg, dxf and dwf formats.<br />

High quality AutoCAD drawings<br />

automatically include interactive hyperlinks<br />

between AutoCad 2D symbols and<br />

CADMATIC 3D objects.<br />

By clicking for example on valves,<br />

equipment or instrument symbols on the<br />

AutoCAD level, CADMATIC eBrowser<br />

immediately visualizes the location and<br />

provides the required object data. This can<br />

of cource be done the other way around<br />

too.

Cadmatic is used in major<br />

conversion projects in South Africa<br />

Mondi Group<br />

– a major global manufacturer<br />

of paper and packaging material<br />

Mondi, the global integrated paper<br />

and packaging group, is principally<br />

involved in the manufacture of<br />

business paper, packaging paper<br />

and converted packaging. Mondi<br />

Group is part of Anglo American<br />

Plc. and has an annual turnover of<br />

nearly $7 billion. The balance of the<br />

Mondi group consists of the South<br />

African packaging business, the<br />

European paper merchant group<br />

Europapier, and the European and<br />

South African newsprint businesses.<br />

Mondi Packaging group was founded<br />

through the combination of South African<br />

Frantschach Packaging, including Swiecie,<br />

with the existing Mondi Packaging Europe<br />

group and the containerboard machines at<br />

Syktyvkar and Richards Bay. The new Mondi<br />

Packaging group has 106 production plants<br />

in Europe and 18 in the Americas, Asia, and<br />

Africa. This group is active in five different<br />

segments - packaging paper, corrugated,<br />

bags, flexibles, and coating.<br />

Mondi Business Paper group,<br />

incorporating Mondi South Africa, is a<br />

leading producer of cut size paper<br />

serving markets on five continents.<br />

Current production is over 2 million tons<br />

of paper on 16 paper machines in six<br />

countries, including 1.9 million tonnes of<br />

uncoated woodfree paper. The group has<br />

around 17,000 employees, produces<br />

about 1.7 million tonnes of pulp annually<br />

at four pulp mills and has forest operations<br />

in South Africa. Major production facilities<br />

are located in Austria, Hungary, Israel,<br />

Russia, Slovakia, and South Africa. In<br />

South Africa it incorporates uncoated<br />

woodfree paper machines in Durban, the<br />

pulp mill and woodchip operations in<br />

Richards Bay and related forest<br />

operations.<br />

The group has undertaken several<br />

significant capital projects over the past<br />

few years. It is continuing with this strategy<br />

to optimise its highly competitive cost<br />

base.<br />

The PM31 UWF Conversion -project for Mondi<br />

Business Papers at their Merebank Mill is one of<br />

Jaakko Poyry Southern Africa’s projects for Mondi<br />

Twenty-five years of<br />

co-operation with Jaakko Pöyry<br />

“Jaakko Pöyry has been serving the Mondi<br />

Group for twenty-five years,” Jacques du<br />

Plessis told Cadmatic News. He manages<br />

the Mechanical and Piping section at Jaakko<br />

Pöyry Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd. Jaakko<br />

Pöyry Southern Africa has around 80<br />

employees and has been working on several<br />

projects with Mondi.<br />

In 2002 Jaakko Pöyry did the entire<br />

mechanical and piping engineering for the


ebuilding of the PM32 paper machine at<br />

the Mondi Merebank Mill. “This was our first<br />

project using Cadmatic in our South African<br />

office,” said du Plessis. “It was a big project<br />

that included some 276 pipeline isometrics<br />

and 425 pipe supports.”<br />

After this Jaakko Pöyry did some other<br />

projects in South Africa for other clients; a<br />

stock preparation upgrade at NAMPAK,<br />

Riverview Tissue Mill, and a pulp mill and<br />

paper machine (PM4) rebuild project at<br />

Sappi Kraft, Tugela.<br />

Jaakko Pöyry Southern Africa and Jaakko<br />

Pöyry Oy in Helsinki commenced with a<br />

major project for Mondi Business Papers at<br />

their Pulp Mill in Richards Bay in 2003. The<br />

project, named RB720, consisted of a new<br />

fibre line, the rebuilding of their PM41 Pulp<br />

Drying Machine, upgrading the existing Pulp<br />

plant, a new Evaporator plant and upgrading<br />

the existing one and the Recausticising plant<br />

with new lime kiln etc. Here the mechanicaland<br />

piping detailed engineering was shared<br />

between the Helsinki and South African<br />

office in Durban. It included around 1,100<br />

pipeline isometrics and 2,400 pipe supports<br />

for the South African office and 850 pipeline<br />

isometrics and 2,100 pipe supports for the<br />

Helsinki office. The Mill started up on time<br />

and has reached its planned capacity. This<br />

will increase competitive pulp and whitetop<br />

liner production to 720, 000 tonnes per year.<br />

Merebank PM31 - Another major<br />

project for Mondi in South Africa<br />

Jaakko Pöyry South Africa is currently<br />

working on another major paper machine<br />

project, named PM31 UWF Conversion, for<br />

Mondi Business Papers at their Merebank<br />

Mill. The task again includes the entire<br />

mechanical-, piping- and detailed<br />

engineering. “The project consists of a<br />

completely new paper machine to replace<br />

the existing one, and a new pulping station<br />

for which the engineering is done at the<br />

Jaakko Pöyry Lyon office in France. This is<br />

another big project with around 1,300 piping<br />

isometrics and 2,000 pipe supports. Of<br />

Jaakko Pöyry French team in Lyon: Juan Otero (project<br />

manager), Henri Jordan (CEO), Bruno Rigny (from<br />

process dept.) and Jacques du Plessis (South Africa)<br />

these some 50 isometrics and 100 pipe<br />

supports were done by JP at the Lyon office.<br />

This is currently our main project in South<br />

Africa,” said Jacques du Plessis. The cost<br />

of the entire project, for Mondi, is about<br />

EUR 200 million.<br />

In this project some 30 people, 16 of<br />

whom work with Cadmatic, have been<br />

occupied in Jaakko Pöyry’s South Africa<br />

Mechanical and Piping section over the last<br />

eight months. The engineering will be<br />

completed by the middle of May. The shutdown<br />

commences at the end of May and<br />

will last for 10 weeks.<br />

The Merebank Mill houses three paper<br />

machines of Mondi Business Paper and two<br />

newsprint machines of Mondi Shanduka<br />

Newsprint. Following the rebuild of PM31<br />

from magazine grades to uncoated<br />

woodfree paper, the total capacity for<br />

uncoated woodfree paper will be more than<br />

500,000 tonnes per year. Merebank is the<br />

home of Mondi Rotatrim, the leading office<br />

paper brand in South Africa.<br />

Cadmatic 3D model<br />

from laser scanning<br />

Jaakko Pöyry in Helsinki did the laser<br />

scanning of the buildings, machinery,<br />

equipment, and piping in all these projects<br />

for Mondi. The laser scan point cloud was<br />

converted into a 3D Cadmatic Plant model<br />

after which the new design and engineering<br />

work commenced.<br />

“It is always difficult to get as-built<br />

information from an existing mill that is<br />

absolutely up to date. It is imperative to<br />

make use of the laser scanning technology<br />

when doing brownfield projects (rebuilds)<br />

of this magnitude and fast track, “said du<br />

Plessis.<br />

“Cadmatic forms an integral part of<br />

Jaakko Pöyry’s Virtual Mill concept and its<br />

features allow efficient project<br />

implementation. This includes both<br />

engineering- and construction phases,<br />

where the 3D model and its good e-Browser<br />

capabilities are moved to the site to assist<br />

the construction and commissioning teams.<br />

Once the plant is commissioned it can<br />

further be used for maintenance purposes<br />

as well as future upgrades, in order to keep<br />

the model as up to date as possible. As the<br />

PM32 rebuild is adjacent to PM31 we just<br />

combined the two models, which means<br />

that more and more of the plant is being<br />

captured in a virtual mill environment,”<br />

added du Plessis.<br />

Jacques du Plessis is managing the Mechanical and<br />

Piping section at Jaakko Pöyry Southern Africa Pty Ltd.<br />

“Cadmatic customer<br />

support is good”<br />

“We are really using Cadmatic to the fullest<br />

extent. I think the software is working very<br />

well for us. It has several good features, one<br />

of them being its ease of use, another that<br />

it is very good when sharing project design<br />

between different offices and a third its<br />

flexibility regarding customisation,” du<br />

Plessis said.<br />

“The ease of use is perhaps best<br />

described by how easy it was to start using<br />

Cadmatic. Six of our designers received<br />

two weeks of personal training and the<br />

systems administrator one week of personal<br />

training by Cadmatic. After this we went<br />

directly into designing our first project . We<br />

also wanted to get extra system<br />

administration assistance for our first project.<br />

After that, no special training has been<br />

needed. We manage well with Cadmatic’s<br />

Customer Support – which is good.”<br />

“When sharing the model between our<br />

different locations, which was the case in<br />

the RB720 project, the latest information<br />

between the different locations is normally<br />

one day apart,” continued Jacques du<br />

Plessis. “We updated our daily design work<br />

into the model every night. In the beginning<br />

the South African office and the Helsinki<br />

office had a copy of the entire model on<br />

their server. This works well when working<br />

in different areas of the plant. On completion<br />

of the Helsinki part we took over the<br />

ownership of the entire model.”<br />

“Another very good feature with<br />

Cadmatic is its flexibility. We developed the<br />

eBrowser further in our office and<br />

implemented some features into it that are<br />

useful for us at Jaakko Pöyry. It is very good<br />

that the users can customise Cadmatic’s<br />

modules, which is possible to a certain<br />

extent.”<br />

“Because Mondi has now adopted the<br />

Cadmatic eBrowser concept, the<br />

communication and follow-up of the work<br />

is easier for both of us,” concludes Jacques<br />

du Plessis.<br />

M-real’s new bleached<br />

CTMP pulp plant in<br />

Kaskinen designed with<br />

Cadmatic<br />

M-real Oyj’s new 300 000 ton<br />

bleached chemi-thermomechanical<br />

(BCTMP) mill in Kaskinen in Western<br />

Finland will be completed in August<br />

this year. The investment is valued<br />

at approximately 180 Million EUR.<br />

The go-ahead decision for the<br />

project, one of the largest current<br />

construction projects in Finland,<br />

was made in 2003. The Cadmatic<br />

3D plant design system is widely<br />

used in the design of the plant by<br />

plant owner and the whole design<br />

and contractor network.<br />

M-real uses high quality chemi-thermomechanical<br />

pulp in its own mills producing<br />

printing papers and packaging board. The<br />

new plant, which is being built next to<br />

Botnia’s pulp mill, will mainly be used by<br />

the company's printing paper and<br />

packaging board mills abroad. It is modeled<br />

on the company’s existing BCTMP plant in<br />

Joutseno and will process 800 000 cubic<br />

meters of both softwood and hardwood per<br />

year. M-real will be the world’s largest<br />

producer of BCTMP when the new plant is<br />

in full operation in 2006. BCTMP requires<br />

less wood to produce pulp compared to<br />

other methods.<br />

M-real is one of Europe’s leading<br />

suppliers of paperboard and related<br />

services, coated and uncoated fine paper<br />

and coated magazine paper. The company’s<br />

main market is in Europe and its products<br />

are represented in over 70 counties worldwide.<br />

In the 2004 financial year M-real’s<br />

turnover was EUR 5.5 billion. The company<br />

headquarters are situated in Espoo, Finland<br />

and has about 16,500 employees.<br />

Large project with many<br />

participating companies<br />

Timo Jokiranta is the construction manager<br />

of M-real’s new production plant. “The<br />

Kaskinen BCTMP project has its own project<br />

organization comprising around 20 people.<br />

Key project management is from M-real and<br />

the rest are contracted external experts.<br />

Botnia Mill Service is one of them,” Jokiranta<br />

told Cadmatic News.<br />

Sweco PIC Process Industry acts as the<br />

main project management- and design<br />

services consultant in the project. Sweco<br />

PIC coordinates all design activities and<br />

performs the detailed process-, layout-,<br />

piping-, automation- and electrification<br />

design. The project management services<br />

include technical procurement support as<br />

well as scheduling and site tasks. UKI<br />

Arkkitehdit Oy is in charge of the<br />

M-real’s new 300000 ton bleached chemithermomechanical<br />

(BCTMP) project, valued at EUR 180<br />

million, is one of the largest current construction projects<br />

in Finland.<br />

architectural design of the plant. JP-Kakko<br />

Oy, part Jaakko Pöyry Group, is doing the<br />

structural engineering design.<br />

CM-Urakointi Oy supervises the project’s<br />

building construction which includes<br />

functions such as civil works, building<br />

construction, offices etc. Supervision of<br />

activities such as main machinery<br />

installations, piping, electrification, field<br />

instrumentation and distributed control<br />

systems is conducted by the M-real’s own<br />

project organization.<br />

Andritz supplies equipment for chip<br />

handling and impregnation, bleaching/<br />

washing and drying as well as auxiliary<br />

equipment. It is also responsible for<br />

engineering, erection supervision, operator<br />

training and start-up services. Metso Paper<br />

furnishes equipment for chip handling, main<br />

line, and reject refining, screening,<br />

thickening, cleaning, pulping, as well as for<br />

baling and bale handling including a bale<br />

quality system. The delivery also covers<br />

mechanical installation, field electrification,<br />

training and start-up supervision.<br />

ABB will design, supply, and install all<br />

the extensive electrical systems. The delivery<br />

scope includes a 110 kV gas insulated<br />

switchyard, power transformers, medium<br />

voltage switchgears, refiner motors, and low<br />

voltage equipment. Engineering, installation,<br />

start-up, and training of customer personnel<br />

are included in the delivery. Rinheat Oy<br />

supplies the multi-effect evaporation plant<br />

including the heat recovery systems. Other<br />

suppliers involved are Metso Automation for<br />

the DCS equipment and Kajaani Process<br />

Measurements Ltd. (KPM) for consistency<br />

transmitters and sampling devices for Mreal<br />

Kaskinen; with transmitters designed<br />

to meet the demanding conditions of the<br />

mechanical pulping process.<br />

On the civil construction side the main<br />

players are YIT and Konte.<br />

In addition to the main machinery<br />

suppliers there are numerous other<br />

contractors in this project. These include<br />

Tankki Oy delivering around 50 tanks varying<br />

from 1 to 500 m³ capacity, Fine Weld Oy<br />

and YIT Industria Oy for process piping,<br />

Sähkö Kaunisto Oy for electrification and<br />

Instrumentointi Oy for installation of field<br />

instrumentation.<br />

“The construction at the site started at<br />

the end of March 2004. Installation of<br />

machinery and equipment began on 2<br />

January 2005 and the scheduled start-up<br />

date is August 25th,” said Jokiranta.


Project<br />

designed and managed<br />

using Cadmatic<br />

“Cadmatic is the principal software used<br />

in the design,” Jokiranta continued. “We<br />

require that our suppliers and design offices<br />

use Cadmatic or design software compatible<br />

with Cadmatic. SWECO PIC and JP Kakko<br />

designed the entire plant using Cadmatic.<br />

X-Steel software was for example also used,<br />

as it is fully compatible with Cadmatic.”<br />

“The exact Cadmatic 3D model of the<br />

plant is very important for us in the project<br />

management team. By using Cadmatic’s<br />

web-based eBrowser, our team of 20-25<br />

people has continuous access to the<br />

updated 3D plant model and its<br />

documentation for managing and follow-up<br />

of the project design, and for planning the<br />

actual construction. eBrowser is in daily use<br />

by the project management team and is<br />

also used by the equipment suppliers and<br />

those in charge of the construction and<br />

installations.<br />

Electronically distributed<br />

3D data and drawings<br />

“Cadmatic two-dimensional drawings are<br />

still needed when constructing the plant.<br />

All the drawings are now distributed<br />

electronically and 3D data is utilized very<br />

effectively. This is a major improvement in<br />

efficiency, considering the large number of<br />

participating parties, ” said Jokiranta.<br />

Cadmatic 3D model and SAP R/3<br />

M-real has used Cadmatic as its design tool<br />

in all of its large investments since 1994.<br />

These include e.g. the construction of the<br />

EUR 400 million Kirkniemi pulp and paper<br />

mill in the mid 1990’s, the Jouseno plant<br />

mentioned above and several somewhat<br />

smaller investments.<br />

“We use SAP at M-real. We intend to link<br />

the ‘as-built’ 3D model of the new Kaskinen<br />

BCTMP plant with the SAP plant<br />

maintenance system. This has worked very<br />

well in our other pulp and paper plants,”<br />

concludes Jokiranta.<br />

30 designers using<br />

Cadmatic at SWECO PIC<br />

for M-real projects<br />

Project Director Seppo Kuusivuori, at Sweco<br />

PIC Process Industry Oy in Finland, is proud<br />

to say that the selection of Sweco PIC as<br />

the main consultant in M-real’s Kaskinen<br />

BCTMP plant project is a follow-up from the<br />

similar CTMP project at M-real’s Joutseno<br />

Mill. The scope of the engineering<br />

assignments totals more than 60 man-years.<br />

The assignments include project<br />

management, scheduling, procurement,<br />

process-, layout-, piping-, steel structure-,<br />

electrical-, automation- and HVACF<br />

engineering as well as machine design.<br />

Sweco PIC operates worldwide,<br />

providing consulting-, design-, engineering<br />

and project management services for<br />

industrial customers in plant investments as<br />

well as product development, production<br />

within the process and manufacturing<br />

industry and electronics and marine<br />

technologies. Sweco PIC employs more<br />

than 1000 people and the annual turnover<br />

is about EUR 70 million.<br />

Sweco PIC Process Industry focuses on<br />

project consultation and design tasks for<br />

the forest-, chemical and energy industries.<br />

The division has offices on six locations in<br />

Finland and two in Sweden.<br />

Sweco PIC Process Industry has used<br />

Cadmatic in their plant design work since<br />

2000. “We also used the Cadmatic software<br />

in M-real’s Joutseno BCTMP project, where<br />

we likewise acted as the main consultant,”<br />

said Kuusivuori. “Our client uses Cadmatic<br />

for other projects as well. A maximum of<br />

about 30 designers have been using<br />

Cadmatic at our offices in this project”.<br />

Cadmatic has been used in all<br />

mechanical plant design tasks. These<br />

include equipment- and layout design,<br />

design of piping and ducts, and steel design<br />

from maintenance platforms to steel<br />

structures. The 3D model also includes<br />

equipment such as cable tracks, safety<br />

switchboards and other small instruments<br />

and equipment.<br />

Distributed<br />

project design<br />

At Sweco PIC, the project design has been<br />

distributed to several locations. These<br />

include the offices in the cities of Vantaa,<br />

Lappeenranta, Tampere, and Rauma.<br />

Sweco’s Pietarsaari-based subsidiary, Nicon<br />

Oy, has also participated in the plant design<br />

using Cadmatic.<br />

“A geographically diversified design<br />

organization requires a good cable network<br />

and one person acting as administrator,”<br />

adds Kuusivuori. “In the Kaskinen BCTMPproject,<br />

all design documentation is<br />

published electronically only, using Sweco<br />

PIC’s web-based document management<br />

system. All the latest drawings and an<br />

updated 3D eBrowser model are found in<br />

this system. The contractors can find the<br />

required 3D data and drawings on the<br />

internet and study the project realization in<br />

three dimensions. We have received much<br />

good feedback on our management system<br />

from the contractors,” concludes Kuusivuori.<br />

Sweco PIC has used Cadmatic in the<br />

mechanical design of the plant. The<br />

structural design, including concrete and<br />

steel design, has been done by JP-Kakko<br />

Oy using the Tekla Structures design<br />

software, from which the 3D data has been<br />

transferred to Cadmatic using XML and<br />

SDNF formats.<br />

Excellent<br />

customer<br />

service<br />

At Cadmatic we understand our<br />

clients’ needs and our goal is to<br />

provide the most effective and<br />

efficient solutions for their design<br />

and construction projects. Excellent<br />

customer service means ensuring<br />

that our customers suffer no delays<br />

because of the software.<br />

With these words, Matti Siltanen describes<br />

the main goal of Cadmatic’s customer<br />

service philosophy. This sounds simple, but<br />

the entire Cadmatic staff is responsible for<br />

offering the best customer service on the<br />

market and it is as such not the sole<br />

responsibility Matti Siltanen and his staff at<br />

the customer service department.<br />

International approach<br />

“We are an international company with<br />

arguably the best 3D design tools and<br />

knowledge in the business. This needs to<br />

be supplemented by having the best<br />

customer service,” says Siltanen. “In general<br />

terms, the creation of this service level must<br />

be seen as a team effort including sales<br />

staff, user trainers, designers, the customer<br />

service unit in Finland and the local customer<br />

service centers worldwide.”<br />

Cadmatic has a special Software<br />

Support team of six experienced people<br />

that are able to handle all possible helpdesk<br />

requests related to the use of the software.<br />

The team is based in Finland and cooperates<br />

with local support personnel in the<br />

client’s region. “We aim at completing the<br />

client’s request on the same day, or at the<br />

latest, the following day,” says Siltanen. “In<br />

the event of a critical case, preventing timecritical<br />

production, the matter is naturally<br />

dealt with immediately. Fortunately these<br />

cases are rare.”<br />

“At Cadmatic, we do not have a<br />

set of standard answers to<br />

frequently asked questions. We<br />

treat each client individually and<br />

this is reflected in our tailored<br />

replies. This allows us to get to<br />

know our clients better,” says Matti<br />

Siltanen, who has worked for the<br />

company since 1984. He is a<br />

process engineer and started at<br />

Cadmatic as a plant project<br />

designer. Now he is in charge of<br />

Cadmatic’s Customer Service<br />

department which sees him<br />

travelling around 100 days a year<br />

to meet clients.<br />

Wide range of support tasks<br />

The support team co-ordinates desk<br />

services, user training, special training<br />

courses, as well as software tailoring tasks<br />

for the client’s special application needs.<br />

Normally the Cadmatic software license<br />

agreement includes a service agreement<br />

with software upgrades as well as support<br />

and user training.<br />

“We are in regular contact with our<br />

clients anyway. For this reason, we receive<br />

only around one hundred actual helpdesk<br />

request calls per year,” Siltanen said. “Very<br />

many customer requests are actually<br />

related to questions where the client wants<br />

to know our views on how to structure the<br />

design work and which design methods<br />

to use. Many clients need our help when<br />

developing their own applications around<br />

Cadmatic. We have recently received many<br />

questions with regards to how our<br />

customers can add their own products<br />

and data to the new COS (Cadmatic Object<br />

Storage) data included in Version 5.<br />

A) willingness to be of sales service<br />

B) professionality of sales<br />

C) Accessibility of sales<br />

D) Willingness to be of helpdesk service<br />

E) professional skills of helpdesk<br />

F) Accessibility of Helpdesk<br />

G) Willingness to provide training<br />

H) Professional skills of trainers<br />

I) price/quality relationship of training services<br />

Support staff with designer<br />

background<br />

The most important issue with regards to<br />

Cadmatic’s support staff is that they all<br />

have design backgrounds with solid<br />

knowledge of project development work.<br />

This user experience helps our trainers to<br />

identify areas that are difficult to learn and<br />

which training areas to focus on. This leads<br />

to more efficient training that saves time and<br />

money for our clients.<br />

Clients very often purchase our system<br />

with the aim of using Cadmatic’s help in<br />

setting up the design project too. Siltanen<br />

continues; “We need to understand project<br />

thinking: beginning from the task, total time<br />

schedule and costs, and which information<br />

is needed. I have personally needed my<br />

project engineering skills over the years in<br />

supporting my clients.” Siltanen however<br />

points out; “Our customer support function<br />

does not include clients’ project development,<br />

but sometimes the areas overlap”.<br />

Tailoring and administration tasks<br />

– part of customer support<br />

Typical tailoring tasks are linking project<br />

design documentation to the client’s own<br />

documentation system and material<br />

administration, or linking Cadmatic to the<br />

client’s computer aided manufacturing. The<br />

client may also order the entire system<br />

administration work from Cadmatic, such<br />

as piping, valve and instrumentation libraries<br />

or report forms for documents and material<br />

listings.<br />

Matti Siltanen continues. “Take for<br />

example our cooperation with Helsinki<br />

Energy, one of the biggest energy<br />

companies in Finland. We take care of their<br />

Cadmatic project environment and as such<br />

their need for local administration<br />

disappears. We have detailed knowledge<br />

of their project environment that facilitates<br />

problem solving “Another example is our<br />

administration cooperation with SCA, an<br />

international paper company with annual<br />

sales of EUR 10 billion. We administer their<br />

Cadmatic applications interactively via a<br />

secure system using dedicated contact<br />

people.”<br />

Customer training<br />

– a vital part of support<br />

“ A typical Cadmatic customer start up<br />

project takes about three weeks,” Siltanen<br />

said, “This normally includes seven days of<br />

user training and five days of training for<br />

the Cadmatic administrator. In addition, help<br />

is needed in starting up the design of the<br />

first project. ”Investing in this type of initial<br />

training package definitely pays off in the<br />

long run, resulting in more efficient practical<br />

design work, and reduced project design<br />

hours. The use of video meetings and etools<br />

for remote support and training has<br />

also enhanced the Cadmatic training.”
