OpenPlant Isometrics Manager

Interoperability

• Generate PCF files to pass data to existing fabrication systems
• Produce isometrics from OpenPlant, AutoPLANT, and AutoPIPE
• Create isometric deliverables in DGN or RealDWG formats
• Works with OpenPlant and AutoPLANT Central Management
• Use a common set-up and configuration through ProjectWise managed Workspaces
• Store similar isometrics in a central location
• Examine components from the same model using different views
• Navigate between models and isometrics

Design Model Component Information

Intelligent isometrics provide useful data for the entire project lifecycle
OpenPlant Isometrics Manager automatically creates an intelligent file, which includes the graphics and associated piping data. This allows users to search and query data within these documents without the need for access to the plant design model.

• Perform intelligent queries against components to find those with identical information to 3D design models
• View relevant data available in other areas of the design and construction process

Isometric Production

Automated production for higher quality isometrics
Increase the quality and accuracy of your isometric drawings with OpenPlant Isometrics Manager’s ability to extract intelligent isometrics from multiple 3D sources. Generate virtually “no touch” isometrics utilizing the application’s whitespace management engine that allows for improved drawing layouts as well as better dimension and label positioning, saving time with clear and legible isometrics. Automatically split isometrics into multiple sheets based on different criteria to quickly generate construction deliverables based on project requirements.

• Separate isometric production from piping design applications
• Control isometric generation by status settings
• Generate different isometric production log files

Multiple styles provide fit-for-purpose drawings

OpenPlant Isometrics Manager provides for the creation of many isometric styles for specific purposes in the project, each with its own set of rules for design status and layout types. The resulting isometric drawings can be placed into their own folder within ProjectWise for versioning and distribution to a globally distributed project team. Delivered styles include As-Built, Check, IFC, Stress, and Tracing. Additional user-defined styles can be created to suit project requirements. ProjectWise provides for remote access, allowing users, such as fabricators, to see the most current information.

Usability

• Easy-to-use interface designed for non-piping users – no need to understand cryptic switches, auxiliary file structures, or settings
• Straightforward query tool to easily search for a specific group of components, such as a line number
• Project-driven drawing output and bill-of-material definitions

Rule-based Management

Rule-based management ensures accurate, up-to-date isometrics. Product isometrics with OpenPlant ModelServer based on design states such as “Issued for Construction.” Rules can be defined to control what type of isometric to produce and, more importantly, whether an isometric can be created if the components are not at a predetermined design state. Time spent checking and reviewing isometrics is now focused on the proper documents where the status is known.

Isometrics Drawing and Style Configuration

• Intelligent isometric drawings include graphics and piping data
• Easy-to-configure isometrics styles – no more switches to remember
• User-configurable drawing layouts and reporting
• Simple isometrics symbols creation using MicroStation cells
• Customized drawing attributes for additional pipeline information
• Fully configurable bill-of-material layout

ProjectWise Managed Workspaces

• Store similar isometrics in a central location
• Examine components from the same model using different views
• Navigate between models and isometrics

Integration

The application allows users to improve collaboration, personal productivity, and information sharing by signing in as a connected user and associating files with Connected Projects. Connected Users can access personalized learning, communities, notifications, and project information. Connected Projects provide project level reporting including which Connected Users are working a project, how much time they are spending on a project, and what Bentley applications they are using.

With CONNECTservices, learn to master your Bentley applications and get work done at any time from any place. Empower your teams to connect and collaborate.

ProjectWise Integration

• Manage multiple projects from a single model or data source
• Include metadata with documents
• Save user queries locally or to ProjectWise for team access
• Edit isometric name expressions
• Create isometrics based on design-state
• Browse element information or specific components or sets of components
