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’s partner network<br />
is ready for Version 5<br />
In global sales, support and training<br />
Cadmatic co-operates with<br />
international and certified salesand<br />

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.”
