Released February 2011
The release of CMPIC R6.09 introduces a number of enhancements:
Equipment Schedule
The Equipment Schedule now allows for data to be filtered based on usage criteria. Additionally, it now permits output to CSV file for all equipment types. To further complement these enhancements, a new Equipment Quantities report has been introduced.
Data Import
The Data Import Wizard now provides a preview option, to allow the potential results of a data load to be analyzed before attempting an actual load. Additionally, device near nodes may also be loaded with device data.
Routing
Cable routes may now be defined between two areas, rather than specific node points; a cable route is then considered complete once a contiguous route is achieved between two areas.
Areas may now be frozen to prevent design changes being made on existing cables.
Cable routes may now be deleted in batch (subject to usual rules).
Cables routed via the autorouter mechanism may now be accepted, rejected or re-submitted in batch.
A new fill calculation method has been introduced to cater for cables run as bundles. Fill calculations have also been extended to cater for double-width trays, as well as providing the facility to define oval/ellipse ducts and conduits when calculating fill.
A new Cable Weight by Area report provides the facility to report on the weight of cables per-area.
The Key Features document & Delivery Note, providing full details, are available for download from the SDA in the normal way.
Released January 2010
The release of CMPIC R6.07 brings with it two major additions to functionality:
CMPIC Through Life Support
The new Through Life Support module is an extension of the existing configuration management capabilities and provides the facility to design changes across multiple vessels in a class and then publish these changes to specific, in-service vessels.
CMPIC Auto-router
An enhancement to the CMPIC auto-router now permits a thorough analysis of the network to be performed prior to auto-routing tasks, providing a substantial speed increase per auto-route request versus the cost of initial analysis. This is currently being trialled by selected customers via our Bulk Network Update functionality (due to its batch processing nature), but should be available for standard auto-routing customers in a later release.
Released March 2009
CMPIC via web browser
With the release of CMPIC R6.05, the full functionality of CMPIC has now been made available for access via a web browser, in addition to the existing client-server architecture.
Released April 2008
CMPIC Conduit management
This new functionality enables CMPIC users to define whether conduit is used to segregate cables from each other or to contain cables between the cable trays or other cable carriers and the devices themselves. Conduits are routed and managed along with the cables which they contain.
