Bentley's Structural Synchronizer CONNECT Edition can now publish i-model files for consumption on the Apple iPad and iPhone devices using the Structural Navigator App (formerly Structural Synchronizer View)
Any ISM repository can be exported and viewed on the Apple mobile device. This section shows a few videos on how to send your ISM models from the Synchronizer and view them on the Structural Navigator, available Free, from the Apple Store.

Step I: Creating an ISM Model
The starting point for all the models that you can view in the Structural Navigator App is an ISM repository produced from any of your desktop structural products. This video shows how to create an ISM model from just one of the many ISM enabled applications. All ISM enabled applications function in much the same way. The next section shows how this ISM model can be converted into an 1-model which can be viewed on an iPad and iPhone through the Structural Navigator app.Click image on left to view video...
Step II: Publishing an i-model
Starting with an ISM model the free Structural Synchronizer desktop application is used to create the i-model which can be saved locally and also published to the Bentley Cloud Services Personal Share space. The i-model can be sent from the desktop to the Apple device any number of ways. Using the Bentley Cloud Services Personal Portal is the simplest way.
Step III: Viewing i-models on iPad
On the iPad/iPhone the i-model can be opened by selecting the file in any of the delivery systems (email, DropBox etc) and choosing to open with the Structural Navigator App, or simply start the app, and open the file from the Personal Share. Click image on left to view video...
Once loaded on the iPad or iPhone the i-model is ready to be reviewed and even appended with issues that need to be resolved. Below are some of the capabilities inherent in the new ISM Viewer application.
