Most efficient way to create multiple I-models

Question

HI all, 
 can someone point me in the direction of a quick way to create multiple imodels? Currently the workflow involves going to file --> publish I-model for each individual file. Is there a quick way to multiple publish? As you can imagine it is quite laborious. we are using ProjectWise is that is relevant, cant see an option in pw for imodels tho 
 
 Thanks, 
 
 Mark

I am unaware of a batch process for publishing iModels. I believe this is because the publish can have many different settings and the containter files created from the file and all references could be cumbersome doing a batch process. There could be a 3rd party application which can perform this, but none that I know for certain or could recommend. It may require an end user to chime in and give a suggestion if they know a way to do this. Here is the general information for publishing iModels on the MicroStation communities, making note that the process starts by opening the file in the product:

Hi Mark, 
 The i-model composition server for Projectwise is probably what youre after. It allows for bulk publishing/conversion from many different formats to i-model.
