Converts Piping Specifications & Catalogues for Use in I-Sketch
One of the biggest issues faced when implementing any new piping application is the creation of the piping catalogue and specifications. I-Convert has been developed to automate the conversion of piping specifications and catalogues from a variety of plant design systems for use with I-Sketch.
Following a brief implementation period of one or two days in which the specific structure of your catalogues is described, the conversion process itself takes seconds. This means you need only maintain the catalogue in the plant design system and regenerate your I-Sketch version on-demand.
Main features of I-Convert include:
.Simple user interface
.Windows NT4.0, 2000 and XP supported
.Many plant design systems supported including
.PDS
.PDMS
.AutoPLANT
.CADWorx Pipe
.IDF / PCF
.Neutral module
Using I-Convert alongside a plant design system offers the following benefits:
.Piping catalogues for I-Sketch and the plant design system are updated by maintaining a single data source.
.Guaranteed consistency of data between I-Sketch and the plant design system.
.Errors due to data re-entry are eliminated.
.Reduced I-Sketch implementation time.
.Eliminates catalogue errors when loading pipes from I-Sketch back to the plant design system through I-Export.
.With I-Convert's help, gain the maximum productivity from I-Sketch with the minimal implementation time.

Exports Pipes to Design & Stress Analysis Systems
I-Sketch is the fastest and easiest way to define the data model of a pipe. I-Export harnesses this capability to provide a simple tool for stress analysis or plant engineers.
Maintaining as-built models held in plant design systems requires personnel who are skilled at operating the system in question. I-Export eliminates this problem by enabling pipes defined with the simple pipe input capabilities of I-Sketch to be automatically loaded into plant
design or stress analysis systems. I-Export opens up the value of the 3D model to personnel who may not necessarily have in-depth 3D modelling or CAD skills. This is particularly of benefit to owner operator companies who now have the ability to maintain 3D design models to as-built status without having to maintain a highly skilled team of modelling experts on site.
Main features of I-Export include:
Simple user interface
Windows NT4.0, 2000 and XP supported
Auto preview technology
Batch processing of multiple pipes
Many plant design systems supported including:
.PDS
.PDMS
.AutoPLANT
Pipe stress analysis systems supported including:
.CAESAR II
Using I-Export alongside a plant design system offers the following benefits:
Simplifies input to complex 3D design and analysis systems. Enables I-Sketch to be used to efficiently create an as-built 3D model. Enables I-Sketch to be used to maintain an existing 3D model to as-built status. Increases productivity. Models can be created or updated by personnel without CAD or 3D modelling skills. With I-Export's help, easily create and maintain your plant data with maximum efficiency.

Piping System Isometrics
I-Run is a simple to use, stand alone application for the creation of piping system isometrics. Any system that supports ISOGEN will generate either an IDF or PCF file. These files contain a description of the 3D piping data and can therefore be further manipulated by I-Run, without reference to the original plant design system.
System isometrics are created for the purposes of piping stress analysis or to produce drawings to aid in the process of commissioning / hydraulic testing. I-Run can be used for the creation of these drawings.
In some cases, for the purposes of effective work management, pipes are segmented by geographical area. I-Tools will allow these separate segments to be merged to a single pipe.
I-Run works with any system that supports ISOGEN, including SPOOLGEN and I-Sketch.

Automatic Isometrics from Sketches
I-Sketch is a simple Windows based pipe sketching application used by small or large engineering companies.
I-Sketch can be used either standalone, or in conjunction with 3D plant design systems, for the automatic production of design or as built isometrics. A simple pipeline sketch is all that is required to produce detailed, annotated isometrics with bills of materials in minutes!
For most companies, I-Sketch is not a decision to implement new technology, as ISOGEN is already in-use within the organisation. The system is intuitive and provides the highest productivity available for piping isometric production taking an average of 10 to 20 minutes to sketch a pipe with the drawing being generated in seconds.
I-Sketch is a flexible solution addressing many aspects of the process plant piping lifecycle, and is an ideal tool for as built or plant revamp projects.
