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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HVAC Part Data | |||
| HVAC Part | In New Typing mode, there is a preference to select the HVAC part type. The part type can be a miscellaneous part or a dedicated HVAC part type if you specify properly the Part Subtype table. |
Following the Preferences selection, it can be either a miscellaneous part or a dedicated HVAC part type according to the Part Subtype table content. For more information, see Me | |
| Part Geometry Data | |||
| Associated CATShapes | - | - | |
| Part Attribute Data | |||
| HVAC system attributes | HVAC system attributes | Partially imported Standard, Sub Part Type, Nominal Size, End Style, Rating, Wall Thickness, and Outside Diameter import. All other system attributes, such as Material Category, Schedule, Insulation Thickness, WeightDry, and WeightWet import using business rules. | |
| User-defined attributes | User-defined attributes | Fully imported Imported using business rules | |
| Part Port Data | |||
| HVAC Part Connectors | HVAC Part Connectors | Fully imported Migrated to Ports and appropriate connector geometry creates and links. Connector geometry converts to an axis system. The position, alignment, and the orientation depend on the associated geometric elements. | |
| Insulation Data | |||
| Insulation object | HVAC insulation | Fully imported | |
| MultiDiscipline Insulation Object on HVAC Part/Rigid Pipe. | HVAC insulation | New engineering connection of the type Rigid Connections create if the insulation is on the HVAC Part. | |
| Ducts | |||
| Rigid ducts | Partially imported Instances and references import. Instance application attributes do not import. | |
| Flexible ducts | Flexible ducts | Partially import. Geometry imports. No technological attributes or connectivity information imports. | |
| User Defined Attributes | |||
| User-defined attributes | User-defined attributes | Fully imports. 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 imports. The behavior is the same as the Run objects. | |
| Item reservation | Rigid route or 3D part with representation containing a solid with the V5 shape | Partially or fully imports. The behavior is the same as the Run objects. | |
Common Import Behavior: Connections
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result |
|---|---|---|
| Two HVAC part instances connected by fluidic connection and having three constraints one Fix and two Coincidence. | Engineering connections | Fully imported 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:
|
| Duct connected to part through run. | Contextual design | Route creates from the external reference of the axis system of the part at the junction. |
| Duct creates as a branch from another duct. | Contextual design | Duct creates as branch duct that is, created through the external reference of the duct branch port. |
Common Import Behavior: Spools
| V5 Data Type | 3DEXPERIENCE Content Type | Import Result |
|---|---|---|
| Spool object | Spool product | Fully imported |
| Objects contained in the spool with a link. | Objects import in compliance with their own import rules. | Objects contained in the spool in Preliminary Mode. The object becomes a product and is an entered reference because the discipline is HVAC_spool. |
