ISOPAC™ Key Features
The POD technology platform is implemented as a series of .DLLs with Microsoft .COM-based automation interfaces. This is known as the ISOPAC package.
The functionality provided consists of the following broad types:
- Conversion of .PCF and .IDF data to a neutral format (the .POD format)
- Interfaces to .POD data, allowing the adding, editing, and deletion of piping data
- Extensible, user-definable attribute model associated with all objects
- 2D graphic support – Ability to associate a 2D graphic with the piping data – typically an isometric created by Isogen
- Controls, allowing the visualization of .POD data (as a tree view or a 3D-generated model)
- Utilities supporting the batch editing of .POD attribute data and conversion to other formats
Applications using ISOPAC can be written in any language supporting a .COM interface. Alias has experience with C++, VB6, and C#.
Implementation and reference documentation is provided to developers to get started.
Software vendors enter into a software licensing agreement with Alias to receive ISOPAC. As part of this relationship, Alias provides training and consulting services to speed time to implementation and boost productivity.
