I-Export™

I-Export provides a simple tool for stress analysis. Usually, 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 modeling or CAD skills. This is particularly beneficial to owner/operator companies who now have the ability to maintain 3D design models in as-built status without having to maintain a highly skilled team of modeling 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 efficiently used to create an as-built 3D model
Enables I-Sketch to be used in maintaining an existing 3D model in as-built status
Increases productivity
Models can be created or updated by personnel without CAD or 3D modeling skills

With I-Export's help, easily create and maintain your plant data with maximum efficiency.
