Piping & Tubing Systems Design File-based Design Import

File-based Design Import (FBDI) enables content migration from V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE.

This topic specifies the import correspondences between V5 data types and 3DEXPERIENCE content types, and the import result. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

This page discusses:

V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE Data Import Table

The following table describes import correspondences between V5 file-based data and 3DEXPERIENCE data. The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).

Considerations

You should take the following considerations into account:

FBDI process
When The FBDI process is successful, the .CATProduct:
  • Imports logical components and attributes.
  • Imports graphical representations.
  • Organizes the imported data in RFLP structured system.
