Smart 3D places Solid Edge assemblies. These files use a .asm extension. You must store these files on a shared network drive so that multiple users can access them through Smart 3D. Typically, the file location is:

\\[Server Name]\Symbols\SolidEdgeParts

  1. Name the part files in the Solid Edge assemblies used in Smart 3D using the following conventions:

    Example File Name

    Smart 3D Display
    Aspect Representation

    MySymbol_0.par

    Simple Physical

    MySymbol_4.par

    Detailed Physical

    MySymbol_5.par

    Insulation

    MySymbol_6.par

    Operation

    MySymbol_7.par

    Maintenance

    This example uses the assembly file name MySymbol.asm.

  2. Create a named variable in the Solid Edge variable table of the part to define any Smart 3D-driven dimension.

  3. If necessary, add ports (nozzles) to the Solid Edge parts. Use the following convention for Smart 3D to recognize the ports:

    Pipe or HVAC nozzles - cylindrical protrusion

    Foundation ports - right triangular protrusion

    Electrical connections - square or rectangular protrusion

    1. In Solid Edge, click Applications > Macros > Run Macro.

    2. Run the [Product Folder]\Equipment\Client\Bin\SEDefinePort.exe macro.

    3. Follow the prompts to select and define each port.
