Installation & Upgrade
Smart 3D Version
13.1

The procedures described in this document are based on these assumptions:

  1. The Smart 3D configuration and associated files you intend to upgrade to 13.1 must already be upgraded to 2018, 2019, or 13 release. Smart 3D does not support upgrading directly from releases prior to 2018.

  2. The Smart 3D configuration and associated files you intend to upgrade must be updated with the latest Hot Fix installed. If you are unsure whether you have installed the latest Hot Fix, please check with your Hexagon Support representative.

  3. All customized files on the SharedContent (Symbols) share must have different names than the delivered files they were based on. If the files have not been renamed, they will be overwritten and your customizations lost after the upgrade process is complete. If the file containing your customizations is required to retain the same name as the delivered file on which it was based, contact your Hexagon support representative for assistance on how to upgrade these files. It is recommended that all custom content is kept in a separate folder.

  4. For Smart 3D configurations in an integrated environment:

    1. SmartPlant Foundation databases will need to be upgraded/migrated to version 10.0 before upgrading the databases to 13.1.

    2. HxGN SDx databases will need to be upgraded to Update 36 or greater before upgrading the databases to 13.1.

  5. All reference files (DGN, DWG, R3D, and so forth) are accessible by the user account performing the upgrade.

  6. The user account performing the upgrade procedure must have the respective Windows-based permissions to successfully carry out file operation in the file system.

  7. The user account performing the upgrade procedure must have administrative rights to either MSSQL or Oracle production databases to successfully carry out the upgrade process requiring database write access.

  8. The upgrade process is a time-consuming procedure that ought to be scheduled after hours or during non-working hours. During this period, all activity on the project being upgraded must be halted until the process is completed.
