File-based Design Import
You can run the File-based Design Import:
- In Interactive Mode. For more information, see File-based Design Import User's Guide: Running FBDI Interactively.
- By using Batch Monitor. For more information, see File-based Design Import User's Guide: Running the FBDI Batch.
Note: When migrating a V5 part that is based on a custom defined CATfct, ensure that the customer CATfct is located at the path pointed by CATGraphicPath environment variable. By default, this path is: ...intel_a\resources\graphic
Import Status
Not all Fluid Systems entities created in V5 can be imported to V6. For details, refer to FBDI Import Summary.
| Application | Status of Import |
|---|---|
| Piping Design | Partial Import |
| Tubing Design | Partial Import |
FBDI Import Summary
The table below summarizes how Piping/Tubing V5 data is managed in the FBDI process and gives the resulting V6 data.
| V5 | V6 |
|---|---|
| Piping/Tubing Part Data | |
| Part geometry data | |
| Associated CATShapes | Not imported |
| Part attribute data | |
| Piping/Tubing system attributes | Partially Imported Standard, Sub Part Type, Nominal Size, End Style, Rating, Wall Thickness, and Outside Diameter are imported. All other system attributes, such as Material Category, Schedule, Insulation Thickness, WeightDry, and WeightWet are imported using business rules. |
| User defined attributes | Imported using business rules |
| Part port data | |
| Piping/Tubing Part Connectors | Fully Imported Migrated to Ports and appropriate connector geometry is created and linked. Connector geometry is converted to an axis system. Its position, alignment, and orientation depends on the associated geometrical elements. See image below. |
|
Partially Imported Instances and references are imported. Instance application attributes are not imported. |
| Flexible tubes | Partially Imported Geometry is imported. No technological attributes or connectivity information is imported. |
| User defined attributes | Imported using business rules |
|
Not Imported Import of these objects is not supported by FBDI. These are removed and a message is displayed in the Import Report dialog box. However, it does not stop the FBDI process. |
FBDI Mapping Details
The table below shows how the V5 Piping and Tubing type, sub-type, and attribute data is mapped in V6.
| V5 | V6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Piping/Tubing Type and Sub-types | Mapped Type and Sub-types | Discipline |
| Piping Part | Piping Part | Piping_Part |
| Sub-class of Piping Part | NLS name of the class Type | |
| Tubing Part | Tubing Part | |
| Sub-class of Tubing Part | NLS name of the class Type | |
| Piping Nozzle | Piping Nozzle | |
| Tubing Nozzle | Tubing Nozzle | |
| Piping/Tubing Part Attributes | Mapped Attributes | Mapped Attribute Value |
| Nominal Size Nominal Size_2 Nominal Size3 Nominal Size4 |
Nominal Size | Values are concatenated with X delimiter. For example. 2in X 4in |
| End Style End Style2 End Style3 End Style4 |
End Style | Values are concatenated with X delimiter. |
| Standard | Standard | Value is migrated. |
| Rating Rating2 Rating3 Rating4 |
Rating | Mapped to system attribute Schedule based on a few conditions. For more information, see Mapping Rating to Schedule. |
| Wall Thickness Wall Thickness2 Wall Thickness3 Wall Thickness4 |
Wall Thickness | The largest Wall Thickness value is migrated. |
| Outside Diameter Outside Diameter2 Outside Diameter3 Outside Diameter4 |
Outside Diameter | The largest Outside Diameter value is migrated. |
Connector Mapping Details
The table shows how V5 Piping and Tubing Part connectors and Piping and Tubing Hole connectors and spec attributes are mapped in V6.
| V5 | V6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Connector Type(Piping/Tubing Part and Hole) | Mapped Port Name | Discipline |
| Published Piping Part Connector | Name of Publication | Piping |
| Unpublished Piping Part Connector | Name of Connector | |
| Published Tubing Part Connector | Name of Publication | |
| Unpublished Tubing Part Connector | Name of Connector | |
| Piping/Tubing Connector Spec Attributes | Mapped Port Attributes | Mapped Port Attribute Value |
| Nominal Size Nominal Size_2 Nominal Size3 Nominal Size4 |
Nominal Size | Connector Nominal Size is mapped to port Nominal Size. |
| End
Style EndStyle2 EndStyle3 EndStyle4 |
End Style | Connector End Style is mapped to port End Style. |
| Standard | Standard | Value is migrated |
| Rating Rating2 Rating3 Rating4 |
Rating | Connector Rating is mapped to port Rating. |
| Wall Thickness Wall Thickness2 Wall Thickness3 WallThickness4 |
Wall Thickness | Connector Wall Thickness is mapped to port Wall Thickness. |
| Outside Diameter OutsideDiameter2 OutsideDiameter3 OutsideDiameter4 |
Outside Diameter | Connector Outside Diameter is mapped to port Outside Diameter. |
| No Outside Diameter | Outside Diameter | Part Outside Diameter
is mapped to port Outside Diameter depending on the connector Nominal
Size. If Nominal Size exists on connector, value is taken from part Outside Diameter. If Nominal Size_2 exists on connector, value is taken from part OutsideDiameter2. If Nominal Size_3 exists on connector, value is taken from part OutsideDiameter3. If Nominal Size_4 exists on connector, value is taken from part OutsideDiameter4. |
Note: If an attribute is unset in V5, it remains unset in V6 after FBDI.
If V5 connector spec attributes are not defined, its corresponding V6 port attributes are taken from the part.
Note: V5 Equipment parts having Piping/Tubing part connectors are migrated to V6 Equipment with Piping Ports.
Import Connections
| V5 | V6 |
|---|---|
| Two piping part instances connected by fluidic connection and having 3 constraints 1 Fix and 2 Coincidence. | New engineering connection of type Rigid is created between the axis systems. Note:
To determine which is master and which is slave following order is used :
|
| Pipe connected to part through run. | Route is created from external reference of axis system of part at junction. |
| Pipe is created as branch from another pipe. | Pipe is created as branch pipe i.e. created through external reference of pipe branch port. |
