Opens the PCF Mapping dialog box, where you define .pcf mapping for the software. With this utility, you can:

  • Change the mapping of PCF keywords to CAESAR II attributes.

  • Change the keyword names.

  • Add new keywords.

  • Create new attributes, such as cladding thickness, cladding density, and additional temperatures and pressures.

You can achieve the best results by preparing customized mapping before beginning the import process.

Save

Saves the mapping to the PCF_MAP.XML file in the System folder.

Open System Folder

Opens the C:\ProgramData\Intergraph CAS\CAESAR II\11.00\System folder. From here, you can open other .pcf mapping files in a text editor to manually change mapping.

Reset Mappings

Changes the mapping template. Select Stress ISO or Super PCF. Stress ISO is the default value.

Units

The units associated with the values of these attributes are defined by including a descriptive unit label after the value. For example, the pressure attribute, COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE1, can be specified as COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE1 15.3 barg.

If the unit label chosen (such as barg) is not one of the labels recognized by the software, as defined through Utilities > Tools > Create/Review Units on the main window ribbon, then you must include that label in the PCF_UNITS_MAP.TXT file in the System folder. For more information, see Create/Review Units and PCF Unit Mapping.

For Material Number, the selected material is applied to a piping element as the default only if the PCF COMPONENT-ATTRIBUTE3 for that element is not specified or recognized.
