Prior to exporting Smart 3D model data, a catalog with corresponding objects, parts, and specifications must exist in PDMS. 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).

For a successful 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 the Smart 3D catalog.

  • To export catalog equipment using a mapping file, the Smart 3D symbol definition template must also be present in the PDMS catalog.

  • To export nozzles, all nozzle data must exist in the PDMS catalog prior to export and must match the nozzle data in the Smart 3D catalog.

  • You must provide mapping information for any new shape. The shape in PDMS must be an exact match of the shape in Smart 3D.

Piping Model Data

  • All of the piping specifications that are used in the Smart 3D project must also exist in the PDMS project.

  • All of the applicable components used in a piping specification must be present in the PDMS catalog and must match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensional data must also match between the two catalogs.

  • All end preparations must be set up in the PDMS catalog, as well as the applicable connection compatibility (COCO) tables.

  • All of the piping specialties and instruments of both the catalog and on-the-fly types must be set up in PDMS as either PCOMP or INST. Their dimensional data must match that of the components in the Smart 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 Smart 3D catalog. Any difference between these two sets of data adversely impact how bolts are reported in the isometric drawing output. Bolt and washer model data are not exported to PDMS and are treated as implied items by the export process.

HVAC Model Data

  • All of the HVAC specifications that are used in the Smart 3D project must also exist in the PDMS project.

  • All of the applicable components used in a HVAC specification must be present in the PDMS catalog and must match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensional data must also match between the two catalogs.

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

Structure Model Data

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

  • To export insulation on members using mapping, an exact match for the encasement must be present 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 the insulation encasement for that particular cross-section type.

  • To export the material property on a structure object, each material type and material grade in the Smart 3D catalog (as concatenated Material Type-Material Grade values) must be mapped to the appropriate material and grade in the PDMS catalog.

  • To export material and grade properties, you must provide mapping for any new structural catalog object in Smart 3D. The S3DMaterialAndGradeMap sheet contains mapping for objects such as member parts, plate parts, profile parts, and slabs. However, you must provide mapping for other objects such as stairs, ladders, handrails, footings, equipment foundations, and hole fittings either through the interface or by creating a label in StructureClassMap .

  • To export profile parts, the dimensions, properties, and cardinal points (with load points in Smart 3D) of the cross section in the PDMS catalog must match those in the Smart 3D catalog. This criteria only applies for Marine mode.

Hangers and Support Model Data

To transfer hangers and supports by mapping, the PDMS catalog should be exactly the same as the Smart 3D catalog. Otherwise, there are mismatches in the geometry and orientation of the transferred support components.

Electrical Model Data

  • All of the electrical specifications that are used in the Smart 3D must also exist in the PDMS project.

  • All of the components used in an electrical specification must be present in the PDMS catalog and should match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensional data must also match between the two catalogs.

  • Insulation and tracing specifications must be the same in both catalogs.
