Course Overview
The Hexagon Smart 3D Administration course by Open Source is designed for engineering professionals seeking to master the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of the Intergraph Smart 3D platform, a leading solution in 3D plant design and digital twin technology. This training prepares individuals for roles such as Smart 3D Administrator, CAD Manager, and Engineering Systems Specialist, all critical in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms managing complex capital projects. With over 70% of major energy and infrastructure projects now utilizing digital design platforms like Smart 3D, demand for skilled administrators has surged. The course equips learners with the expertise to manage project environments, user permissions, and system integrations, ensuring data integrity and compliance across the project lifecycle.
Students engage with core technologies including the Smart 3D database architecture, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle databases, HxGN SDx2 integration, and Intergraph Batch Services within a hands-on lab environment. The lab component, conducted in a simulated Smart 3D console, requires students to build and configure a complete project environment from scratch, including setting up site and catalog databases, defining permission groups, and configuring Global Workshare. A key real-world scenario involves restoring a corrupted model from backup, synchronizing it with the master catalog, and running interference checks—mirroring critical tasks performed by administrators in live EPC projects to ensure design accuracy and continuity.
This course prepares candidates for the Hexagon Smart 3D Administrator certification, a credential increasingly recognized by industry leaders like GE Vernova and Jacobs for mission-critical plant design roles. Certified professionals report competitive salary ranges, with Lead S3D Administrators in the U.S. earning between $98,400 and $164,000 annually, reflecting the specialized skill set. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Open Source courseware, ensuring consistent, high-quality training. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to lead digital engineering initiatives, driving efficiency and innovation in next-generation industrial projects.
