One of the biggest issues faced when implementing any new piping application, such as Intergraph Smart Isometrics, is the creation of the piping catalog and specifications.
Intergraph I-Convert is a utility that automates the conversion of piping specifications and catalogs from a variety of plant design systems for use with Smart Isometrics. I-Convert guarantees the consistency of data between Smart Isometrics and the plant design system, eliminating errors and the need for data re-entry. I-Convert reduces the effort required for catalog maintenance and decreases Smart Isometrics implementation time.
Following a brief implementation period during which the specific structure of catalogs is described to the software, the conversion process takes only seconds. Key features of I-Convert include the following:
-
Converts piping specifications and catalogs for use in Smart Isometrics in seconds.
-
Allows companies to use existing piping specifications and catalogs.
-
Updates piping catalogs for Smart Isometrics and the plant design system by maintaining a single data source.
-
Includes a user-friendly interface.
-
Supports all leading plant design systems, including PDS, PDMS, AutoPlant, and CADWorx, Pipe.
-
Allows import from any unsupported system that can output data in this format via a neutral file option.
-
Enables building of catalogs from the data in a Piping Component File (PCF) or an Isogen Data File (IDF).
