The first steps of transferring data from Smart Materials to PDSâ involve pipe classes. Unlike Smart Materials in which the pipe classes are the result of primary standardization work (commodity groups, commodity parts, commodity tables, commodity codes, geometrics, idents, pipe classes), in PDS, the definition of components can be done at first within the pipe classes. The other database objects like model codes, physical data, and so forth can be created later on. So understanding how the interface works means at first to understand the format and concept of the Smart Materials pipe classes and the format of the PDS pipe class.

A Smart Materials pipe class looks like this:

A typical PCD file for PDS looks like this:

The goal of the PDS interface is to create such a PCD file for each Smart Materials pipe class.
