What is I-Run™?

For those 3D piping design systems (Autodesk Inventor Professional, Pro/Engineer, CATIA, SolidWorks, etc.) that are ISOGEN®-enabled, Alias provides I-Run, a standalone application used to post-process the PCFs produced by these systems through Personal ISOGEN, automatically generating isometric drawings and bills of materials.

I-Run is a simple application that includes Personal ISOGEN® and allows the user to select PCFs to process and the isometric style to use to produce isometric drawings and reports.

I-Run allows the piping user to:

• Open and select either individual or batches of PCFs for processing
• Select an isometric style, which determines the drawing output produced
• Process the selected PCFs through Personal ISOGEN to automatically produce isometric drawings and reports (such as bills of materials)
  

Licensing of ISOGEN is subject to rules based on the number of piping seats at each installation. Concurrent user licensing of I-Run is provided via FLEXlm software licensing.

I-Configure™ is supplied with I-Run.

Using a copy of the customer’s drawing border/backing sheet, I-Configure enables project administrators to configure an isometric style to their company standards and drawing practices, then use this to produce isometric drawings for the PCFs processed through I-Run on their projects.

I-Run is a very simple application. Piping users will have little difficulty learning how to use it. Formal I-Run training is not required to be provided to piping users.

However, Alias strongly recommends that project administrators receive ISOGEN configuration training so that they fully understand how to use I-Configure to set up projects and isometric styles for their initial and future projects.

For more information on PCF extraction, please refer to the user documentation supplied with your 3D piping system.
