Why Integration Matters

Engineering teams face real inefficiencies:

  • Manual input formatting between CAD and simulation tools
  • High risk of mismatched data: spec discrepancies, missing restraints, wrong units
  • Validation bottlenecks that slow down approvals and handover
  • Lack of version traceability between model iterations and simulation reports

 

✅ With seamless integration, your design data becomes simulation-ready in minutes – not hours – with full traceability, reduced risk, and faster decision-making.

Our Expertise

Simulation & Analysis Platforms

Bi-Directional Data Mapping

Extract and transform geometry, spec data, and boundary conditions
Map CAD object properties to simulation input fields (e.g., wall thickness, restraints, materials)
Maintain data structure consistency across iterations
Sync analysis results back into CAD models as annotations or reports

Automated Simulation Input Generation

Generate input files for CAESAR II, PASS START, and HYSYS based on model logic
Apply custom rules for support placement, material classification, and segmentation
Eliminate manual formatting for line IDs, equipment lists, and boundary settings

Post-Processing Integration

Export simulation outputs (stresses, failure flags, flow rates) directly into Excel or CAD overlays
Embed results into CAD models using color coding, annotations, or layer logic
Generate auto-formatted engineering reports or flag zones requiring design change

AI-Augmented Analysis & Iteration

AI-driven automation for HYSYS scenario iterations based on convergence goals or output targets
Use ML models to predict optimal parameters or flag configuration risks
Scenario batching and 24/7 evaluation for long-running process simulations

Success Stories

Integration of CAD/BIM with SAP for a Midstream Gas Processing Plant

A gas processing plant had constant mismatches between their AVEVA E3D models and SAP. Engineers transferred data by hand, which caused frequent BOM errors and delayed procurement. The wrong materials showed up on site — and the right ones arrived late.

We built a sync tool that connects E3D directly to SAP. It auto-tags assets, validates specs against master data, and keeps both systems current throughout the project.

Result: 85% better data sync. 70% fewer data-related reworks. 60% faster procurement readiness.

POSforAFS: Automating Formwork Calculations Directly Inside AutoCAD

An Israeli construction firm was spending 3 months per project on manual formwork calculations. Each engineer used a different method. Errors led to $180K in material waste on one project alone. Moreover, the company couldn’t grow without hiring more senior engineers — and those take years to train.

We built an AutoCAD-integrated tool that reads concrete outlines, picks optimal panels, plans reuse, and outputs complete material lists.

Result: 70% cost reduction. 85% faster turnaround. Engineers freed from calculation work entirely.
