The Piping Data Processor requires that you have a processor configuration file (.ppc) in the local folder. This configuration file contains the commands to be executed against each batch of piping data files during pre-processing. The processor configuration file supports options that are specific to the type of file being processed: IDF or PCF.

Processing functions are carried out in seven stages. Because operations within each stage are performed in the order in which they appear in the .ppc file, it is sometimes necessary to specify more than one pre-processing file. See Appendix: Sample Processor Configuration File.

Stage 1: The software performs initial operations on the entire file.

RECORD-PROCESSING

EXTRACT-SYMBOLS

RENAME-FILE

PRE-PROCESS

ADDBOLTLENGTHS

NAME-PIPE

COPY-RECORD

MERGE-RECORD

PREFIX-RECORD

SUFFIX-RECORD

CONVERT-UNITS

SUBSTITUTE-STRING

ADD-RATINGS

Stage 2: The software performs special functions that deal with component records on the entire file.

ADD-MODELCODES

MAP-ATTRIBUTES-BY-POSITION

DELETE SPECIAL-TEES

DELETE DUMMY-REDUCER

DELETE COMPONENT

DELETE SUPPORT-TAGS

DELETE DUPLICATE-MISC

DELETE END-CONNECTION-GASKETS

DELETE COMMENT-LINES

DELETE DUPLICATE-CONNECTIONS

DELETE ZERO-WELDS

DELETE DUPLICATE-SPOOL-IDS

CHANGE PLAIN-TEES

CHANGE TEED-ELBOWS

AUTO-CHANGE BLIND-FLANGES

AUTO-CHANGE SUPPORT-BORES

AUTO-CHANGE FLAT-DIRECTION

AUTO-CHANGE REDUCING-CAPS

ITEMCODE

UNIQUEITEMCODES

MOVE-RECORDS REDUCING-MISC-MESSAGES

MOVE-RECORDS MATERIAL-ATTRIBUTES

MOVE-REPEAT-PART-NUMBERS

Stage 3: The software makes changes before reading the pipeline reference.

DELETE USER-SYMBOLS

Stage 4: The software makes changes on the pipeline reference.

TRUNCATE-PIPELINE-REFERENCE

Stage 5: The software changes pipeline properties:

ADD-ATTRIBUTES

ADD-RECORD

Stage 6: The software performs component changes, including commands performed in the body of the piping data file that are not done elsewhere, such as changing individual record numbers, symbol keys, deleting records, and splitting records.

Stage 7: The software performs the final processing.

AUTO-CHANGE START-POINT (Smart Isometrics utilities only)

POST-PROCESS

FORMAT-IDF

COPY-FILE

MOVE-FILE

If you use commands to change such things as symbol keys on blind flanges and then decide to use AUTO-CHANGE BLIND-FLANGES, you must specify a post-process operation with a second .ppc file containing the AUTO-CHANGE command. See POST-PROCESS.

Automatically detects blind flanges used as a reducing flange. The command then changes the flange to a reducing flange (65 record), and adds a 0 record.

AUTO-CHANGE BLIND-FLANGES
