Create a custom mapping of PDMS equipment nozzles - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

To obtain equipment nozzle properties for pipe routing using PDMS data, you can edit the CATRefAdditionalProperties worksheet in the CustomPDMSToR3DMapping.xls mapping file. This allows you to translate your PDMS source files to a Smart Model with the required nozzle property data.

Follow the steps below to edit the custom PDMS mapping file to extract equipment nozzle data, and then attach and open the Smart Model as a Reference 3D model in Smart 3D. The PDMS CATRef/CATR Value column represents the catalog reference for each type of equipment nozzle. The CATR value is what displays in the properties of the target application.

1. Open the PDMSToR3DMapping.xls default mapping file and go to the CATRefAdditionalProperties worksheet.

   Smart Interop Publisher provides several catalog references with industry standard equipment nozzle properties.

   

2. Copy one or more of the catalog references and corresponding properties, and either minimize or close the default PDMSTo3DMapping file.

3. In the Custom folder, open the CustomPDMSToR3DMapping.xls template file, and click the CATRefAdditionalProperties worksheet.

4. Paste in the copied catalog row, and then edit the catalog reference name and property values as required.

   In the first example, the catalog reference name was changed to 300lb_Ansi_Flanged/AAZFBB0FF. The property values for this new catalog reference equipment nozzle are translated into the Smart Model.

   

   In the second example, an existing catalog reference name from the default mapping file is used, but the property values have been changed. This causes the software to overwrite the 150lb_Ansi_Flanged/AAZFBB0FF property values with these in the custom file.

   

5. Continue adding and editing catalog reference data as required and then save your changes to the CustomPDMSToR3D mapping file. Save the edited mapping spreadsheet file in the Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xlsx) format.

6. Copy your modified CustomPDMSToR3D mapping file to a different location. Smart Interop Publisher automatically creates mapping subfolders under the Shared Content Location defined for your project to use. See Define project settings.

7. Open Smart Interop Publisher, and from the Models View, select your PDMS source files in the Source Files Grid.

8. Click Translate .

9. On the Translate Source File Dialog, set Custom as the mapping option and select the folder location of the CustomPDMSToR3D file.

10. Click Translate.
    -OR-
    Click Schedule to perform the translation later.

11. You can view the file and check equipment nozzle properties in Smart Review, Smart 3D, Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence web-based viewer (Portal), and SmartPlant Markup in SmartPlant Foundation. The remaining steps show you how to open the file in Smart 3D as a Reference 3D model.

• Attach and Review in Smart 3D

In Smart 3D Project Management, select the 3D model to attach the Smart Model.

1. Open the Reference 3D Model Properties Dialog using one of the following methods:

   Click Database > New > Reference 3D Model Command.
   -OR-
   Right-click the Plant node, and select the Reference 3D Model Command.
   -OR-
   Right-click the Reference 3D Models node, and then select the Reference 3D Model Command.

2. In the Reference 3D Model Properties Dialog, fill in the boxes with appropriate information to include the following:

   Model Type: Select SmartPlant Interop Publisher.

   File Path - Type the full path or browse to the folder containing the generated .zvf file for the selected Smart Model.

   Name - Type a name for the model.

   The .zvf file is generated in a subfolder under the folder you defined in Smart Interop Publisher to contain the Smart Models.

3. Click OK to save your edits and close the dialog.

   The process of creating and updating the schema can take several minutes, so an informational progress message displays during this time.

4. If prompted, click Yes to confirm that the schema packages should be updated.

5. You must either start a new Smart 3D session, or save and reopen an existing session to see the new Reference 3D Model graphics.

   For further modifications, you can refresh the Smart 3D workspace to see any updated objects and data.

6. Select an equipment nozzle you added and check the properties.
