What do you want to do?
File Path
Input File
Specifies the .xlsx file to import. Select Browse 
to select the file. Select Clear 
to discard the selected file. Select Preview to view the selected file.
Log File
Displays the import log file path and name.
Import
Read the equipment data in the model and updates the model accordingly.
Excel Workbook Format
An Excel workbook must have specific formatting to import and export equipment details. The software provides the EquipmentTemplate.xlsx workbook as a template for the required format. The software delivers this workbook to the [Product Folder]\Equipment\Client\Bin\Template folder.
Do not edit or delete the template .xlsx file. If the file has been altered or is
missing, the software displays a message.
Head
Specifies what action the software takes when loading the spreadsheet. If the column is blank, the software ignores the row. The available options include:
-
A - Adds the equipment item.
-
M -Modifies an existing equipment item.
-
D - Deletes the equipment item from the model.
Status
Indicates whether the specified Add/Modify/Delete actions were successful. If the equipment was not added, modified, or deleted, the software displays Error in the column. A comment indicating the cause of the error is added to the More Info column.
System
Specifies the hierarchical path (excluding the root node) of the system under which the equipment is placed in the model. If you do not provide the system path, equipment placement fails during import from Excel.
Name
Displays the name of the equipment item. An empty Name column indicates that the software used the default naming rule when loading equipment data from Excel.
Part Name
Displays the part name of the equipment item. Enter this value as <Part Class Name> / <Part Name>. The software requires this value when importing equipment from Excel.
GUID
Specifies the globally unique identifier for an existing equipment item belongs. The software requires this value when modifying or deleting existing equipment.
After placement in the model, the system automatically updates the equipment object
ID (OID) with the placed equipment GUID.
System GUID
Specifies the globally unique identifier for the parent of the equipment. If the system GUID is invalid or does not exist in the model, the software uses the path specified in the System column for placement. If the system path is also empty or contains only the configuration root node, then equipment placement fails.
Coordinates
Specifies the position of the equipment item in the model with respect to the Global Coordinate system. The software requires the X, Y, and Z coordinate values when importing equipment from Excel. If you do not specify the units, the software uses meters.
Angles with respect to Global Axis (X-Angle, Y-Angle, Z-Angle)
Indicates the orientation of the equipment item in the model with respect to the Global Coordinate system. The software requires the X-Angle, Y-Angle, and Z-Angle values when importing equipment from Excel. If you do not specify the units, the software uses radians.
