For this workflow, you are going to define metric only units of measure strings for properties. By default, the mapping supports a mixed scenario in which some property unit strings display in English while others display in metric unit strings. To define metric only or English only display, you can copy and rename the default AutoPLANT mapping file to custom so that you already have all the basic properties delivered with Smart Interop Publisher. Then define the units and place them in the Units G column in the PropertyMap sheet. Smart Interop Publisher only reads the G column to get the unit values to display.

Follow the steps below to (1) set up metric only units of measure to display for properties, and (2) set the PipingFluidVolume property to display 'millimeters'.

  1. Go to [drive]:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Interop Publisher\3DInteropMappingFiles.

  2. Copy the AutoPLANTToR3DMapping.xls file to a new location and rename it to CustomAutoPLANTToR3DMapping.xls.

  3. Open the copied CustomAutoPLANTToR3DMapping.xls file. In the PropertyMap sheet, you see three columns to help you in defining units (Mixed, Metric, and English). By default, mixed units display in column G.

  4. Go to a property row to change the unit string.

  5. In the Units (Metric) column, type in the metric value for the string (for example, type mm^3 for millimeters).

  6. Enter the metric string in the Units (Metric) column for other properties, as required.

    When entering the units of measure for models being translated and published to SmartPlant Foundation, you must type the format as specified in SmartPlant Foundation. See Units of Measure Entries.

  7. When you have finished entering all metric units, copy the Units (Mixed) G column to another column in the sheet.

  8. Copy the Units (Metric) column you just edited and paste it in the G column.

  9. Save your edits, and close the file.
