How to convert Intergraph PDS to BricsCAD?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Intergraph PDS

Intergraph 'Plant Design System' is a comprehensive, intelligent computer-aided design/engineering (CAD/CAE) application for plant design, construction, and operations.

Files can be exported from PDS as MicroStation DGN files and imported natively into Okino software via our dedicated DGN importer. Preferably, you should import only the .DRI (Design Review) file which itself will then read in all of the individual DGN files. Please follow the method as outlined in the 'How to Import from Intergraph PDS DGN Models' section of the Okino online DGN help file. It is also suggested that you read the 'Tutorial: How to Import Massive DGN Files (PDMS Plants, Oil Refineries, etc)' section of the same help page.

BricsCAD

BricsCAD is a software application for CAD, developed by Bricsys nv. It comes in several variations such as Lite, Pro, BIM, Mechanical and Ultimate.

Exportable file formats from BricsCAD (using the Communicator plugin) to Okino software are STEP, IGES, CATIA v5 and ACIS SAT.

The primary file format from Okino software to BricsCAD (using the Communicator plugin) is the JT file format.
