Prior to exporting Smart 3D data to PDMS, verify that all of the required mapping is completed and that both catalogs are set up appropriately. For more information about mapping and setting up the catalog, see Appendix: Smart 3D Export to PDMS Workbook and Define matching reference data, respectively.

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

    The Export Model to PDMS Datal dialog box displays.

  2. Select the filter to use for selecting the objects to export.

  3. Type a description of the model.

  4. Type your name in the Author box and your company name in the Organization box.

  5. Specify the name and full path location of the output DATAL file.

  6. Navigate to the mapping file to use in the export process.

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

  8. Click OK to start the export 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.

  9. Review the log file for errors and warnings.

  • You must create the filter before you can export the model objects. Otherwise, the export process might fail.

  • The mapping file is a Microsoft 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\S3DPDMSExport folder during setup.

  • If you want the software to create a separate datal file for each discipline, you must select Generate separate file for each discipline.

  • To export plates and stiffeners from Smart 3D to PDMS, you must select Root plate systems and Standalone parts in the filter.
