Release Announcement – Bentley i-model Composition Service for PDMx CONNECT Edition (Beta 3)

Hi,

I am pleased to announce that the beta release of i-model Composition Service for PDMx CONNECT Edition is now available for download on Select.

Bentley i-model Composition Service for PDMx

Plant Exporter is no longer part of the install of Bentley i-model Composition Service for PDMx, it is now a dependency and will need to be downloaded separately. Plant Exporter is currently beta software and can be used for free. The Plant Exporter allows you to convert one or more models from PDMS directly without having to setup ProjectWise and Automation Services.

This release includes improvements for converting PDMS models to the Bentley iModelHub. Models can now be converted to use the OpenPlant schema for piping and equipment. These conversions require the OpenPlant iModel Bridge which is available only as a limited beta. Contact Bentley if you are interested in using this limited beta.

The installs for this release are available in 2 parts, a 32-bit installer and a 64-bit installer.  The 32-bit installer is the client for Automation Services when running conversions from ProjectWise.  The 64-bit installer is for the service.

The readme file can be found here:

Thank you to everyone who was involved in helping get this release completed.

Best regards,

Tim Lawrence
