  1. Select File > Import > Data File.

  2. Browse to the location of your spreadsheet, select it, and select Open.

    • The status bar at the bottom of the Smart P&ID window displays the progress of the import activity.

    • You can populate the stockpile with items from Aspen Basic Engineering exported spreadsheets and some Smart P&ID reports.

  3. On the Import Log dialog, you can select Report to open the log file and view notes on the import process, or you can select Close.

If a format change is made to an exported Aspen Basic Engineering report, you must make modifications to the import code to accommodate the changed report layout.

  • Aspen Basic Engineering spreadsheets in either Microsoft Excel or XML format are supported. These spreadsheets include the Vessel Equipment List, Pump Equipment List, and Heat Exchanger Equipment.

  • Stockpile items that come from importing Aspen Basic Engineering data can be easily updated by re-importing a data file. Previously imported items, whether they remain in the stockpile or have already been placed in the drawing, are updated with data from the newly imported file.

  • Importing Aspen Basic Engineering XML data files allows greater flexibility when importing data into the software. All three reports: Equipment, Pumps, and Exchangers, are included in a single XML report so that only one file has to be imported.

  • You can use the Equipment List, Pipe Run List, and Equipment Nozzle List Reports to define properties of items already placed in the drawing, too.  Items must have an assigned item tag prior to definition or modification of properties. In addition, these reports can create occurrences of items in the stockpile.
