What's New in Export to PDMS



15/84


S E C T I O N 1

You can export equipment, piping, and structure model data from SmartPlant 3D that can then beimported into PDMS. The software uses the File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Modelcommand to create datal files that are subsequently used by PDMS.

The transfer of SmartPlant 3D model data is a multi-step operation:

1. Ensure that the SmartPlant 3D and PDMS catalogs are set up properly. For more information,see Set up the PDMS and SmartPlant 3D catalogs(on page19).

2. Edit the options in the delivered initialization file to define the parameters used in the exportprocess. For more information about defining these parameters, see Configure the PDMSexport initialization file(on page20).

3. Edit the mapping workbook to reflect the customizations that you have made to theSmartPlant 3D object attributes. For more information about the translation maps delivered

with the software, seeAppendix: Export to PDMS Workbook(on page33).4. Use the PDMS Export Validation command to validate the mapping details that you have

defined. For more information, see PDMS Export Validation(on page25).

5. Export the model data using the File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Model command in SmartPlant 3D. For more information, see Export Model(on page23).

Supported Object Types

Not all model data can be exported to PDMS. The following tables list the SmartPlant 3D objecttypes, by discipline, that are currently supported for export by the software.

Equipment Objects:

SmartPlant 3D Object Type PDMS Object Type Export Options

Catalog equipment Standard equipment Mapping

Pipe nozzleCable nozzleCable tray nozzleHVAC nozzle

Conduit nozzle

Nozzle Mapping

Piping Objects:

SmartPlant 3D Object Type PDMS Object Type Comments

Pipeline system Pipe The specification attribute on the PDMSpipe object is controlled by thePDMSExportTranslator.ini file as there isno specification attribute on the pipelinesystem in SmartPlant 3D.

Pipe run Branch It is not necessary for both definitions tomatch exactly since a SmartPlant 3D piperun cannot contain components withmultiple diameters, whereas the PDMSbranch can. The MergeSP3DRuns optionin the PDMSExportTranslator.ini filecombines all of the pipe runs under aPipeline system and splits them intoappropriate PDMS branches.Consequently, pipe run names inSmartPlant 3D and branch names in PDMSwill differ.

Piping component Relevant object in

PDMS based onGType

The appropriate component is created

based on the mapped GType of thecomponent.

Gasket Gasket Gasket dimensions in PDMS should matchthose that are present in SmartPlant 3D;otherwise, the isometric drawingsgenerated from PDMS may fail.

Pipe support (logical) Attachment Pipe supports from SmartPlant 3D arecreated as attachments which will appearin the isometric drawings obtained fromPDMS.

Pipe bend Bend Pipe bends from SmartPlant 3D areexported as bend objects.


17/84




Underground and sanitarypiping

FTUBE Underground and sanitary piping; that is,piping that is plain-ended, is exported asFTUBE from SmartPlant 3D. The relevantFTUBE components must be created in the

PDMS catalog and mapped appropriately.

In addition to the piping object types listed in the above table, the necessary PMLcommands are written in the datal file to establish connectivity of piping with equipment nozzlesand the interconnectivity between branches.

Structure Objects:

SmartPlant 3D Object Type PDMS Object Type Comments

Linear member part

Curved member part

Generic Section

PNODE, PJOINT, SNODE, SJOINTare created.

PNODE, PJOINT, JLDATUM,PLDATUM, FIXING are created.

Connections between the SECTION andJOINTS are written to the PDMS datal file.

18/84


19/84



Structure Models:

The software sets the PLine attribute for JLine and MLine on sections and joints to NA(Neutral Axis) by default.

Cuts, features on members, and objects created during assembly connections are exportedas fittings. Negative geometries are created for cuts, and panels are created for additional

objects.Export using catalog joints is not supported in the current release of the software.

The software breaks stair, ladder, handrail, footing, and equipment foundation objects intoGTypes and exports them as primitives under the STRUCTURE element.

Curved plate parts on both plate systems and built-up members are exported as smallertriangular planes which make-up the total curved surface.

The hole fitting object on the planar plate part is exported as a panel fitting under the PANELelement (planar plate part). Curved plate parts are exported as SUBSTRUCTURE, becausethe PANEL element is not created for a curved plate part.

Set up the PDMS and SmartPlant 3D catalogs

Prior to exporting SmartPlant 3D model data, a catalog must already exist in PDMS. For asuccessful export, ensure that the PDMS catalog meets the criteria outlined below.

Equipment Model Data

The PDMS catalog must contain the same equipment shapes and nozzles that exist in theSmartPlant 3D catalog.

To export catalog equipment using a mapping file, the SmartPlant 3D symbol definitiontemplate must also be present in the PDMS catalog.

To export nozzles, all nozzle data must exist in the PDMS catalog prior to export and mustmatch the nozzle data in the SmartPlant 3D catalog.

You must provide mapping information for any new shape. The shape in PDMS must be anexact match of the shape in SmartPlant 3D.

Piping Model Data

All of the piping specifications in the PDMS catalog must also exist in the SmartPlant 3Dcatalog

All of the components used in a piping specification must be present in the PDMS catalog andshould match those in the SmartPlant 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensionaldata must also match between the two catalogs.

All end preparations must be set up in the PDMS catalog.

All of the piping specialties and instruments of both the catalog and on-the-fly types must beset up in PDMS as either PCOMP or INST. Their dimensional data must match that of thecomponents in the SmartPlant 3D catalog.

All gaskets and welds with exact thickness must be set up and available in the PDMS catalog.

Insulation and tracing specifications must be set up the same in both catalogs. Bolt sets in the PDMS catalog must match those in the SmartPlant 3D catalog. Any difference

between these two sets of data will adversely impact how bolts are reported in the isometricdrawing output. Bolt and washer model data is not exported to PDMS and will be treated asimplied items by the export process.


20/84



Structure Model Data

To export members, the dimensions, properties, and cardinal points of the cross-section in thePDMS catalog must match those in the SmartPlant 3D catalog.

To export insulation on members using mapping, an exact match for the encasement must bepresent in the PDMS catalog. For each cross-section type, a corresponding PDMS catalog

fitting must be present; the geometry of the catalog fitting should match exactly with theinsulation encasement for that particular cross-section type.

To export the material property on a structure object, each material in the SmartPlant 3Dcatalog must be mapped to appropriate material in the PDMS catalog.

To export a material property, you must provide mapping for any new structural catalog objectin SmartPlant 3D. Mapping for default supported objects, such as stairs, ladders, handrails,footings, equipment foundations, and hole fittings, is already provided.

Project Creation Estimates(on page31)

Configure the PDMS export initialization file

The PDMSExportTranslator.ini file controls the export of SmartPlant 3D model data to PDMS. Youcan modify the default values to suit your specific project needs.

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to [ProductDirectory]\SmartPlant\3D\RefData\SharedContent\Data\Translators\S3DPDMSExport.

2. Open thePDMSExportTranslator.inifile and modify the options as needed.

3. Save your changes.

SharedContent is delivered in reference data setup.

PDMS Export Initialization File OptionsThe PDMSExportTranslator.ini file is divided into several sections: Globals, Equipment, Piping,and Structure. Each section contains a specific set of default options that are used during export.

Globals

Precision- Provides the precision for rounding position coordinates.

Value- Type a number of digits to round the position coordinates, ideally in range 0 to 3. Thedefault value is 3.

Equipment

UseMappingToCreateShapes- Determines whether shapes are exported through mapping orby breaking them into GTypes and creating the appropriate primitives in PDMS.

0- Break shapes into GTypes and create appropriate primitives in PDMS. If any errors occur,the software uses the mapping file as an alternative for creating corresponding primitives. Thisis the default value.

1- Export shapes using the mapping file. If any mapping is missing for any shape, the softwarebreaks the shape into GTypes and creates the appropriate primitives in PDMS.


21/84



UseMappingToCreateCatalogEquipment- Determines whether catalog equipment is exportedthrough mapping or by breaking them into GTypes and creating the appropriate primitives inPDMS.

0- Break catalog equipment into GTypes and create appropriate primitives in PDMS. If anyerrors occur, the software uses the mapping file as an alternative for creating correspondingequipment. This is the default value.

1- Export catalog equipment using the mapping file. If any mapping is missing for any catalogequipment, the software breaks the catalog equipment into GTypes and creates theappropriate primitives in PDMS.

DumpNozzleUnderSubEquipment- Determines whether a sub-equipment node is created inthe PDMS hierarchy for placement of equipment nozzles.

0- Suppress the creation of a sub-equipment node. All nozzles are placed under theequipment node.

1- Create a sub-equipment node, and place all nozzles under it. This is the default value.

DumpShapeUnderSubEquipment- Determines whether a sub-equipment node is created in thePDMS hierarchy for placement of shapes equipment.

0- Suppress the creation of a sub-equipment node. All shapes are placed under theequipment node. This is the default value.

1- Create a sub-equipment node, and place all shapes under it.

IgnoreIndependentPlane- Controls how independent planes are handles during export.Independent planes are usually caps on projections, extra planes in equipment foundation, and soon. These planes do not affect the graphical output, but they do appear as additional objects in thePDMS workspace.

0- Process independent planes. This is the default value.

1- Ignore processing of independent planes.

Tolerance for BSplineSurface- Provides a balance between performance and the quality of theimported model. When complex geometrics are encountered during export, the software breaksthe surfaces into small planes. The more planes that are created, the smoother the surface, whichcan adversely impact the amount of time required to import the model into PDMS. You can adjustthe value as necessary to compromise between performance and smoothness.

Value - Type a number (in millimeters) in range 0.001 to 500. The default value is 10.

ToleranceForPlanesHavingCurvedBoundaries- Controls how the software handles curvedboundaries during import. PDMS does not support planes with curved boundaries. During export,these curved boundaries are approximated to small lines. By specifying the angle of arc, you canapproximate an arc to a line. The lesser the angle specified, the smoother the plane boundaryobtained in PDMS.

Value - Type a number (angle in degrees) in range 5-30. The default value is 30.

ToleranceForDesignSolidSurface- Provides a balance between performance and the quality ofthe imported design solid. When a design solid is encountered during export, the software breaksthe surface into small planes. The more planes that are created, the smoother the surface, whichcan adversely impact the amount of time required to import the model into PDMS. You can adjustthe value as necessary to compromise between performance and smoothness.

Value - Type a number in range 5 to 70. The default value is 10.


22/84



Piping

MergeSP3DRuns- Controls how branches are exported to PDMS.

0- Create one branch in PDMS per SmartPlant 3D pipe run.

1- Merge SmartPlant 3D pipe runs, and export as per PDMS's definition. This is the defaultvalue.

PipelineSpec- Controls what value is output in the datal file for the PSPE attribute on thepipeline.

MAX_OCCURRENCES- Output the specification used by the maximum number of runsunder the pipeline. This is the default value.

FIRST_OCCURENCES- Output the specification used by the first run under the pipeline.

MAPPING - Output the specification using the mapping file (either ProgID or Label).

Structure

TransferInsulationasGTypes - Determines whether insulation on members is exported throughmapping or by breaking into GTypes and creating appropriate primitives in PDMS.

0- Transfer insulation on members as mapped objects. This is the default value.

1- Transfer insulation on members as GTypes.

ToleranceforBSplineSurface- Provides a balance between performance and the quality of theimported model. When complex geometrics are encountered during export, the software breaksthe surfaces into small planes. The more planes that are created, the smoother the surface, whichcan adversely impact the amount of time required to import the model into PDMS. You can adjustthe value as necessary to compromise between performance and smoothness.

Value - Type a number (in millimeters) in range 0.001 to 500. The default value is 0.001.

ToleranceForPlanesHavingCurvedBoundaries- Controls how the software handles curvedboundaries during import. PDMS does not support planes with curved boundaries. During export,these curved boundaries are approximated to mall lines. By specifying the angle of arc, you canapproximate an arc to a line. The lesser the angle specified, the smoother the plane boundaryobtained in PDMS.

Value - Type a number (angle in degrees) in range 5-30. The default value is 5.

IgnoreIndependentPlane- Controls how independent planes are handled during export.Independent planes are usually caps on projections, extra planes in equipment foundation, and soon. These planes do not affect the graphical output, but they do appear as additional objects in thePDMS workspace.

0- Process independent planes. This is the default value.

1- Ignore processing of independent planes.

ToleranceForCurvedPlateSurface- Provides a balance between performance and the quality ofthe imported model. When complex geometry is encountered during export, the software breaksthe surfaces into small planes. The more planes that are created, the smoother the surface, whichcan adversely impact the amount of time required to import the model into PDMS. You can adjustthe value as necessary to compromise between performance and smoothness.


ToleranceForMemberCutGeometry- Provides a balance between performance and the qualityof the imported model. When cut geometry is encountered during export, the software breaks thesurfaces into small planes, which are used to create a negative solid polyhedron. The more planesthat are created, the smoother the surface, which can adversely impact the amount of timerequired to import the model into PDMS. You can adjust the value as necessary to compromisebetween performance and smoothness.

Troubleshooting


Equipment imported using SAT and DGN files in SmartPlant 3D is slow- PDMS does notsupport complex curved surfaces; consequently, BSpline surfaces stored in the SmartPlant3D databases are broken into smaller polyhedrons, which adversely impacts export andimport performance.

Import/Export Issues Hierarchy exported from SmartPlant 3D to PDMS- PDMS has a fixed hierarchy for model

objects across the various disciplines, whereas SmartPlant 3D can have a deep hierarchy ofsystems in place prior to the creation of model objects. Currently, the parent of equipment,pipeline systems, and structural objects will be created as a zone object in PDMS hierarchy. Inthe current release of the software, you cannot control how the hierarchy is created.

Names of objects in SmartPlant 3D and PDMS do not match- Typically caused by objectnames being duplicated during SmartPlant 3D modeling. During export, the unique namegenerator mechanism creates new unique names for objects whose names are duplicated.For more information about recommended naming conventions, see "Best Practices" inExporting Model Data to PDMS(on page15).

Modification of catalog equipment in PDMS is difficult - SmartPlant 3D provides two

options for transferring catalog equipment items: Create the equivalent equipment in the PDMS catalog and map to the corresponding

equipment in SmartPlant 3D. Doing so allows for easy modification of equipment items inPDMS.

When the PDMS catalog is not ready, the SmartPlant 3D catalog equipment can still betransferred by extracting its geometry primitives and converting them into equivalentPDMS primitives. BSpline surfaces, however, are not available in PDMS. Consequently,these surfaces are broken into smaller polyhedrons, which make that portion of theequipment difficult to modify.

Specifications are from PDMS and not from SmartPlant 3D- The piping data is beingtransferred using mapping to the equivalent specification present in PDMS. To resolve thisissue, create the needed specifications in SmartPlant 3D, provide the necessary mapping,and then perform the transfer.

The way pipes are split into branches is inconsistent with the way that they would bemodeled in PDMS- SmartPlant 3D provides two options:

Break at pipe run level, which can lead to this problem.

Merge all pipeline components between two free ends, two nozzles, one free end and onenozzle, one branch and one free end, and so on to construct the branch in PDMS. This iscontrolled using the default setting of the MergesSP3DRuns option in thePDMSExportTranslator.ini file. When this option is used, the run names in SmartPlant 3Dand the branch names in PDMS can change and be reflected accurately in the isometricdrawing output.

Update of objects- Updating objects that have been exported to PDMS is not supported inthe current release of the software.

Incremental transfer of the model- The same model can be broken into multiple filters/sizes

and exported incrementally. If the objects already exist in PDMS, they are created again. Label size in SmartPlant 3D- While defining labels on SmartPlant 3D objects, make sure the

length is less than 50 characters. PDMS errors if a label longer than 50 characters is mappedto any user defined attribute in PDMS.

Troubleshooting


Project Creation EstimatesPDMS reference data creation for a typical project - The following list summarizes theapproximate time usually needed to created various catalog items in PDMS:

Catalog equipment, if needed - Allow 1 to 4 days per template, depending upon complexity. Nozzle data - Depends upon the number of records of nozzle data; easy to create.

Piping specifications (Data) - Depends upon the size of specification and common parts usedwithin specifications. Can vary from 3 to 5 days per specification when created manually within PDMS.

SPRD to PDMS approach can be considered as one of the solutions.

Use a tool on the internet to create specification data.

Point set and geometry set used by the piping specifications (equal to piping symbols) - Allow1 to 2 days per point set and geometry set, depending upon complexity.

Sections - Allow 2 days per section type to create catalog.

Material - Depends upon number of records; easy to create.

Joints specification - Joints references are similar to assembly connections in SmartPlant 3D.

Allow 1 to 2 days per new joint. Generally, PDMS delivered joints should be adequate for atypical project.

TheFile > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Model command uses the Microsoft Excelworkbook S3DPDMSExportMapping.xlsto map all of the SmartPlant 3D objects and objectattributes to the corresponding objects in PDMS. By default, the workbook is delivered in [ProductDirectory]\SmartPlant\3D\RefData\SharedContent\Translators\S3DPDMSExport during setup.

The S3DPDMSExportMapping.xlsworkbook consists of three types of translation mappingworksheets. Before you export SmartPlant 3D model data, you must modify these mappingworksheets sheets to ensure that all of the necessary criteria have been met.

Set up the PDMS and SmartPlant 3D Catalogs(on page19)

Equipment Translation MapsUse the equipment translation mapping sheets in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xlsworkbook tomap SmartPlant 3D equipment attributes to the correct PDMS equipment properties. Beforeexporting SmartPlant 3D equipment mode data to PDMS, you must modify these sheets to ensurethat the following criteria have been met:

All of the catalog equipment objects in the SmartPlant 3D model are mapped to correspondingequipment objects in PDMS.

All of the shapes in the SmartPlant 3D model are mapped to corresponding primitives inPDMS.

All of the nozzles in the SmartPlant 3D model are mapped to corresponding nozzles in PDMS.This is mandatory for the transfer of nozzles from SmartPlant 3D regardless of the options thatare defined in the PDMSExportTranslation.ini file.

After all of the mapping is completed in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xlsworkbook, run thePDMS Export Validation command to validate the mapping data in theworkbook. Any missing entries reported by the validation tool should be resolved. For moreinformation, see PDMS Export Validation(on page25).

The following equipment translation maps are delivered in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xlsworkbook:
