Smart 3D Version

All Smart 3D reference data is contained within the Catalog database. You create and modify reference data by using Excel spreadsheets. Then, use the Bulkload Reference Data application to post those changes from the spreadsheets to the Catalog database.

CustomInterfaces Worksheet

SymbolParameter

Specifies the parametric variable name as defined in the Solid Edge part. List all parameters that to be controlled by Smart 3D. You can reuse parameters from other parts if they all have the same type. You must add any parameters that do not already exist.

ReadOnly

Indicates whether you can modify this property.

1 - True. Indicates that the property cannot be modified.

0 - False. Indicates that the property can be modified.

OnPropertyPage

Indicates whether the attribute displays on the Properties dialog box for the equipment item

1 - True. Indicates that the attribute displays on the Properties dialog box.

0 - False. Indicates that the attribute does not display on the Properties dialog box.

PrimaryUnits

Specifies the expected unit of measure for this parameter.

UnitsType

Specifies the type of parameter that you are entering. For example, Distance, Area, Angle, and so on.

Type

Specifies the internal database storage type for the parameter. This is typically Double for non-whole numbers or Integer for whole numbers, but other values can be required for particular cases.

AttributeUserName

Specifies the name of the parameter as displayed in Smart 3D. Spaces are allowed.

CategoryName

Specifies the property category on which the variable displays in Smart 3D. If you leave this field blank, Smart 3D displays the variable in the Standard category.

InterfaceName

Specifies the interface name for the object. Smart 3D retrieves object properties through interfaces. You can reuse properties of existing interfaces for any number of equipment types. You can add attributes to existing interfaces. If necessary, you can define new interfaces with new attribute properties. After you create an interface or attribute, you cannot delete or modify it.

Part Class Definition Worksheet

This worksheet is named with the part class, such as SolidEdgePump.

Definition

This row specifies the definition of all the attributes used by the equipment component. The following columns in the Definition row are required:

  • PartClassType

  • SymbolDefinition

  • UserClassName

  • OccClassName

  • Additional attributes required for each equipment type

PartClassType

Specifies the type of Smart 3D object that you are defining. For an equipment class, this is EquipmentClass.

SymbolDefinition

Specifies the path to the Solid Edge assembly file in the symbols share for the Smart 3D project. Use the following format:

SE2GSCAD.SEsymbol|SolidEdgeParts\[File Name].asm

UserClassName

Specifies the class name displayed in Smart 3D. Spaces are allowed. In the following example, the labels Pump and Tank come from this column.

OccClassName

Specifies the class name that Smart 3D uses internally for the equipment class. You cannot use spaces in this column.

Additional required attributes

  • Add a column in the Definition row for each parameter used from the CustomInterfaces worksheet.

  • Type the Solid Edge variable enclosed in angle brackets (<>) after each AttributeName.

  • Precede AttributeName with the InterfaceName for any attributes that occur in more than one interface. Use the following format:

  • InterfaceName::AttributeName<SEParameterName>

  • To make an attribute modifiable from within Smart 3D, precede that attribute with OA:. This makes the attribute an occurrence attribute. Use the following format:

  • OA:InterfaceName::AttributeName<SEParameterName>

Port attributes, such as size, rating, and end preparation cannot be occurrence attributes.

  • Define NozzleType and Nozzle(n):ID for ports (nozzles). These values must match the definitions from Solid Edge.

Head

This row sets the order in which you enter data for individual part components. It also adds values for standard items such as nozzles and generic part data such as weight and center of gravity.

Start and End

These rows indicate the extent of the part data for individual components

R-Hierarchy Worksheet

This worksheet describes the hierarchy of the folders in the Equipment node of the Catalog.

RelationSource

Defines the name of a parent folder. These folders must be traceable through RelationDestination back to the CatalogRoot value.

RelationDestination

Defines the name of a child folder placed under the folder described in RelationSource.

ClassNodeType Worksheet

This worksheet defines the names displayed in Smart 3D.

ObjectName

Specifies the internal Smart 3D name for a folder. Smart 3D does not display this name.

Name

Specifies the name for ObjectName. Smart 3D does display this name.
