Intergraph Process, Power & Marine, provider of enterprise engineering software for the design, construction and operation of plants, ships and offshore facilities, makes Isogen piping component file (PCF) reference documentation available for free download and use. Isogen is software used for automated piping isometric production.
The PCF format features simple syntax, English language style and is not order dependent, which means it is straightforward to create from most piping design software, according to the company. In addition to their use with many piping design software applications, SmartPlant Isometrics and SmartPlant Spoolgen are products powered by Isogen that address the needs of owner operators and companies providing engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction services.
The announcement of the documentation availability follows the creation of the Intergraph Piping Data Exchange Technical User Forum (TUF) group in September 2014 to facilitate online peer-to-peer collaboration, and the announcement made at the Fiatech 2014 Member Meeting that Intergraph supports the free use of the PCF format for piping data exchange.
