Common Import Behavior
This section describes the behavior of CATIA V5 data stored in legacy databases imported into 3DEXPERIENCE that is common to all connectors.
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piping/Tubing Part Data | |||
| Piping Part | In New Typing mode, there is a preference to select the piping part type. The part type can be a miscellaneous part or a dedicated piping part type if you set properly the Part Subtype table. |
Following the Preferences selection, it can be either a miscellaneous part or a dedicated piping part type according to the Part Subtype table content. For more information, see Me | |
| Part Geometry Data | |||
| Associated CATShapes | - | - | |
| Part Attribute Data | |||
| Piping/Tubing system attributes | 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 | User defined attributes | Fully imported Imported using business rules | |
| Part Port Data | |||
| Piping/Tubing Part Connectors | 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 the image below. | |
| Insulation Data | |||
| Insulation object | Piping insulation | Fully imported | |
| MultiDiscipline insulation object on piping part/rigid pipe. | Piping insulation | Fully imported New engineering connections of rigid connections type are created if the insulation is on piping part. | |
| Piping/Tubing Design Data | |||
| Rigid Pipes and Tubes | Partially imported Instances and references are imported. Instance application attributes are not imported. | |
| Flexible tubes | Flexible tubes | Partially imported Geometry is imported. No technological attributes or connectivity information is imported. | |
| User defined attributes | User defined attributes | Fully imported Imported using business rules | |
| Run, Path Reservation, and Item Reservation Objects | |||
| Run objects | Rigid route or 3D part with representation containing a solid with the V5 shape | Partially or fully imported The import of run objects depends on the chosen options in :
| |
| Path Reservation | Rigid route or 3D part with representation containing a solid with the V5 shape | Partially or fully imported The behavior is the same as Run objects | |
| Item reservation | Rigid route or 3D part with representation containing a solid with the V5 shape | Partially or fully imported The behavior is the same as Run objects | |
| Welds | |||
| Piping Miscellaneous parts and geometry | Fully imported The weld attribute is equivalent to V5 part type + "_" + Weld type. For example, if the V5 attributes are In-Line Weld as Part Type and W1 as Weld Type, it becomes In-Line Weld_W1. If a V5 part type is blank, then the sub part type is hard coded with the | |
Common Import Behavior: Connections
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result |
|---|---|---|
| Two piping part instances connected by fluidic connection and having 3 constraints 1 Fix and 2 Coincidence. | Engineering connections | New engineering connection of type Rigid is created
between the axis systems. Note:
To determine which is driving constraint and which
is driven constraint the following order is used:
|
| Pipe connected to part through run. | Contextual design | Route is created from external reference of axis system of part at junction. |
| Pipe is created as branch from another pipe. | Contextual design | Pipe is created as branch pipe i.e. created through external reference of pipe branch port. |
Common Import: Spools
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result |
|---|---|---|
| Spool object | Spool product | Fully imported |
| Objects contained in the spool with a link. | Objects are imported in compliance with their own import rules. | Objects contained in the spool in Preliminary Mode. The object becomes a product and is a typed reference because the discipline is Piping_spool. |
