The 3D-file compatible Tracer Lynx heat-management-system (HMS) software interfaces with industry standard IDF and PCF files allowing HMS designers to utilize the master model data from clients to create 3D modeled plant designs. Tracer Lynx is a fully integrated solution designed to be employed throughout the entire lifecycle of a project. Specialized functions have been developed to support many critical HMS project activities, including scope definition, estimating, pipe sorting and grouping, heat-tracing design, material procurement, construction planning, and field progress measurement. Building on Intergraph’s Isogen and SmartPlant Isometrics software as a framework, Tracer Lynx bases all of its activities on one database. — Tyco Thermal Controls, Redwood City, Calif.
