- CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, May 1, 1992 - The company that develops and
- markets CADPIPE is proud to preview its latest series of software programs
- and enhancements. International Software Systems Inc.'s new offerings
- promise to take designers into a whole new dimension of speed and
- productivity.
-
- CADPIPE INTERact
-
- The next generation of information management systems, CADPIPE INTERact,
- has been jointly developed by International Software Systems Inc. and
- Generation 5 Technology Ltd. of Edmonton, Canada. This database-driven
- product will, in its first introduction, interact graphically with the
- popular CADPIPE P&ID software. CADPIPE INTERact couples the full
- functionality of CADPIPE P&ID with the power of GIS (Graphical Information
- Systems). Some of the features this program will provide include enhanced
- decision support through a host of powerful data query utilities, advanced
- facilities management capabilities, interaction with a variety of external
- databases, generation of equipment sheets, instrument data sheets, line
- lists and instrument indexes. CADPIPE INTERact facilitates bi-directional
- updating between drawing and database.
-
- AUTO-SECTIONNING
-
- One of the new CADPIPE features that promises to draw a crowd at upcoming
- tradeshows is ORTHO 2.21's AUTO-SECTIONING command. With this command, you
- can draw in plan view, and then have the program automatically draw the
- section for you. Then, when you add items to the section view, you can
- automatically update the plan view to include those items. Another
- productivity detail permits vertical legs with flanged fittings to be
- trimmed out automatically when transposed to the plan. The system will do
- this with no duplication of items on the Bill of Materials, so the section
- view can remain on the drawing or be erased entirely--or even moved to
- another drawing.
-
- FLANGED FITTINGS
-
- A flanged fittings database has been developed which will allow the user to
- define flanged piping systems, lined or unlined. This database will
- contain flanged pipe fittings in accordance with ANSI B16.1, B16.5 and
- B16.42. Additional items such as spacers (reducing and tapered),
- instrument tees and reducing filler flanges, commonly used with plastic
- lined systems, will be included. The user will be able to specify flanged
- lengths of pipe as well as lining thickness. When a lining extends over
- the flange face, the system will calculate the correct bolt length based
- on the lining thickness. This addition will be fully supported by other
- CADPIPE PLUS programs such SPEC GENERATOR and AUTOISO.
