Before working with piping reference data, you must be familiar with how the software handles reference data in general. If you have not already done so, read and understand the following important concepts and procedures described in the Intergraph Smart 3D Reference Data Guide:
-
Custom attributes
-
Symbol creation
-
Codelists (also referred to as "select lists")
-
Naming rules
-
Bulkloading
For example, before you can define pipe parts, you must understand how part data relates to data on the custom interfaces sheet, and how that information relates to parameters defined when the part symbol is created.
Piping Workbooks
The piping reference data is defined in multiple Microsoft Excel workbooks so that you can bulkload only what you need. The software delivers these workbooks to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\Datafiles folder. The complete list of available piping specifications delivered with the software is in Appendix: Delivered Pipe Specifications.
The following piping reference data workbooks are delivered in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\Datafiles folder:
Piping Specification.xls
Piping Catalog.xls
Piping Specialty Data.xls
Piping.xls
Instrument Data.xls
On-the-fly Instruments.xls
On-the-fly Piping Specialties.xls
Ten_Specs_CatalogData.xls
Ten_Specs_SpecificationData.xls
Additional piping reference data workbooks are available on the Customer Support web site.
Because bulkloading all of these specifications would create a very large catalog, a subset of ten specifications is used to create the catalogdb.dat file that is delivered with the software. This subset of ten specifications is delivered in the Ten_Specs_SpecificationData.xls and Ten_Specs_CatalogData.xls workbooks and is listed below.

Catalog Task
Instead of defining your piping reference data in workbooks and then bulkloading the workbooks to the Catalog, you can define your piping specification data interactively in the Catalog task. For more information on how to define and verify your piping reference data in the Catalog task, refer to the Catalog Help.
