Imports Electrical data from an .xml file using mapping defined in an .xls (Microsoft Excel workbook) file. The software validates the input .xml file against the defined electrical import schema to verify that the file is valid for import.

Sample Mapping Files

In the delivered sample mapping workbook, ElectricalTranslationMap.xls, click the Index tab to view the worksheet name of the sheets. Click the name to jump to that sheet. For example, click Generic-ItemCode-Map and view or specify details about Generic Conduit Component Mapping on that sheet.

Example mapping configuration files for importing Intergraph Schema files are delivered in the [Product Reference Data Folder]\Data\Translators\XMPlantS3DImport\ConfigurationFiles\Electrical folder.

See Electrical Translation Map in the Smart 3D Plant Design System (PDS) Help.

Actions Taken

When you import electrical data, the command does the following:

  • Creates cableways and conduit runs

  • Imports the route network

  • Imports branching configurations

  • Imports components

  • Imports attributes and user attributes

If there is an item in the .xml file that has the model system set to blank or Undefined, the Import Electrical command creates a generic system under the root with the naming convention xxxxxxImport-Date-Time. For example, the name might be ElectricalImport-6-27-2005 09:09:57AM. All objects with the blank or Undefined parent system import to this new system. After import, you can move the objects to your own System hierarchies.
