Prior to importing a PDMS DATAL file to Smart 3D, verify that the appropriate mapping has been completed and that both catalogs have been set up appropriately. For more information about mapping and setting up the catalog, see Appendix: PDMS Import to Smart 3D Workbook and Define matching reference data, respectively.

  1. In the Smart 3D Common task, click File > Import > PDMS Datal Import > Import Model.

    The S3D PDMS Data Import dialog box appears.

  2. Select the parent system.

    The parent system determines where the imported PDMS objects are placed.

  3. Specify the name and full path location of the PDMS input DATAL file in the Datal File box.

    Do not manually edit PDMS DATAL files or ATT files.

  4. Navigate to the mapping file.

  5. Specify the name and full path location for the log file.

  6. Select the disciplines to import.

  7. Click OK to start the import process.

    When processing completes, the dialog box closes.

    If you click Apply instead of OK, the dialog box remains open when processing completes so you can click View Log to open the log file. Otherwise, you must manually navigate to the log file.

  8. Review the log file for errors and warnings.

  • All of the imported objects are placed under the selected parent system.

  • The mapping file is an Excel workbook that is used to map all the objects and their properties in Smart 3D and PDMS. This workbook is delivered to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Translators\PDMSS3DImport folder during setup.
