You can extract piping catalogs and reference data in Smart 3D and PDMS formats, and associate the mapping between the two formats. You can generate piping catalog and reference data simultaneously in either of the formats. The flow diagram below illustrates the parallel generation process for PDMS export.

You must have a SmartPlant Materials 2011 (7.0.5) license to extract piping specifications from the standard database (SDB).

Load piping specification from SDB into Smart 3D catalog

Piping specification and component data can be exported from the standard database to Microsoft Excel workbooks, and then bulkloaded into the catalog or they can be exported directly to the Smart 3D catalog database. For more information on the integration procedure, see SmartPlant Reference Data Smart 3D Interface User’s Guide which is delivered with the SmartPlant Materials software.

Extract piping specification data from SDB/SPRD in PDMS format

Any piping specification data can be extracted in PDMS format from the standard database. Extracted specification data can be loaded into the PDMS catalog using PDMS PARAGON/SPECON modules. For more information on the integration procedure, see SmartPlant Reference Data PDMS Interface User’s Guide, which is delivered with the SmartPlant Materials software.

Load SDB specification data into PDMS catalog

When the piping specification is extracted from the SDB in PDMS format, piping specification data generates materials, detailed text, specification, and component CATRef link files. These files should be loaded into the PDMS catalog in the order specified below using PDMS PARAGON/SPECON modules. For more information on the integration procedure, see SmartPlant Reference Data PDMS Interface User’s Guide, which is delivered with the SmartPlant Materials software.

SHARED Tip PDMS does not allow the materials and detailed text to be loaded if the line count in the above generated files is more than 5000.

  • Before loading the specification files ensure that the materials and detailed text files exist in PDMS catalog.

  • PDMS administrators need to make arrangements to load the component/dimensional data into PDMS catalog.

  • You cannot use loaded specification files from PDMS unless all of the component/dimensional data along with the point sets and geometry sets are generated for the specification. Also, ensure that the SCOMs are created in PDMS before the Component CATRef link file is run.

  • SmartPlant Reference Data integration does not transfer instruments and specialties in SDB to PDMS. You need to manually transfer and create appropriate mapping between instruments and specialties.

Extract mapping information between Smart 3D and PDMS piping data

The extracted mapping data between Smart 3D and PDMS piping data can be used in the S3DPDMSExportmapping.xls workbook. You can also use this workbook to export PDMS data. To extract a mapping file in .xls format, use the Company Menu > CO.SD SDB-Tools > COM.PX.02.02 Export PDMS/SP3D-Data standard database tools. Mapping configuration also generates additional data related to size independent commodity codes used in either tool, so that the additional data can be used to generate dimensional data for components in PDMS.

Mapping information can be extracted for each component per specification with corresponding Idents and size independent Smart 3D commodity codes along with its Idents that can be used in PDMS.

SHARED Tip Remove */ from the PDMS value when appending the mapping information to the S3DPDMSExportmapping.xls workbook.
