Use the structure translation mapping sheets in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook to map Smart 3D structure properties to the correct PDMS structure attributes. Before exporting Smart 3D structure model data to PDMS, you must modify these sheets to ensure that the following criteria have been met:
-
All of the cross-sections and respective cardinal points in the Smart 3D model are mapped to the corresponding cross-sections and PLine attributes in the PDMS catalog. This is mandatory for the export of members from Smart 3D. See Map cross-section and orientation mismatches.
-
All of the Marine cross-sections and respective load points in the Smart 3D model are mapped to the corresponding cross-sections and PLine attributes in the PDMS catalog. This is mandatory for the export of profile parts from Smart 3D.
-
In the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file, TransferInsulationAsGTypes is set so that insulation is exported using the mapping file, then the catalog must be set up for insulation on members. Also, all insulation encasements in the model must be created in the PDMS catalog and mapped to the corresponding fitting in PDMS.
After all of the mapping is completed in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook, run the PDMS Export Validation command to validate the mapping data in the workbook. Any missing entries reported by the validation tool should be resolved. See PDMS Export Validation Command.
