V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE Data Import Table
The following table describes import correspondences between V5 file-based data and 3DEXPERIENCE content.
The statuses for import results are fully imported, partially imported, and not imported (-).
| 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 | New engineering connection of rigid connections type are created if the insulation is on piping part. | |
| Pipes and Tubes | |||
| 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 | User defined attributes | 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 | |
V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE Data Import Table: Connections
The following table describes import correspondences between V5 connections and 3DEXPERIENCE content.
| 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. |
V5 to 3DEXPERIENCE Data Import Table: Spools
The following table describes import correspondences between V5 spools and 3DEXPERIENCE content.
| 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. |
Considerations
You should take the following considerations into account:
- Importing in Replace Mode
The table below lists Piping & Tubing data that is updated when imported using FBDI in Replace mode.
Data Update Status Piping/Tubing Parts Updated Heavy Pipes and Tubes Straight Pipe, Bendable Pipe, Straight Tube, and Bendable Tube
Note: FBDI in Replace mode is not supported by Piping Lines.The table below lists Equipment and Hanger data that is updated/when imported using FBDI in Replace mode.
Data Update Status Equipment Parts Updated Hanger Parts Nozzles Important: You can import a V5 file into 3DEXPERIENCE by using File-based Design Import (FBDI). Now, if you import the same file again into 3DEXPERIENCE, this file replaces the previous one. For more information, see File Coexistence and Migration User's Guide. - Modify Attribute Data
- The table below shows the FBDI ((in Replace mode) result when attributes on a
V5 Piping/Tubing
part are modified.
Part, Attribute, and Port data Result System attributes, such as Standard, Sub Part Type, Nominal Size, End Style, Rating, Wall Thickness, and Outside Diameter Updated Port geometry Points to axis system Port attributes Updated Unmapped system and user attributes Imported using business rules assigned to PLM Opening PLMEnsFBDIUserAttribute If Piping/Tubing sub-type names are modified, the corresponding 3DEXPERIENCE sub-type names are updated; but the discipline (e.g. Piping_Part, Piping_Rigid_Pipe etc.) remains the same.
V5 Data Type Piping/Tubing Type and Sub-types
3DEXPERIENCE Content Type Mapped Type and Sub-types
Import Result Sub-class of Piping Part Sub-class of Piping Part NLS name of the class Type Sub-class of Tubing Part Sub-class of Tubing Part NLS name of the class Type If you modify the geometry of a piping part in V5 and then import the part again into 3DEXPERIENCE, the latest V5 geometry is imported.
If equipment/hanger and support type names are modified, the corresponding 3DEXPERIENCE sub-type names are updated; but the discipline remains the same.
V5 3DEXPERIENCE Equipment/Hanger Support type and Sub-types Mapped Sub-types Equipment NLS name of the class Type Support Part NLS name of the class Type Note: If V5 Equipment parts having Piping/Tubing part connectors, these are migrated to 3DEXPERIENCE Piping Ports. - Add, Remove, and Modify a Connector
-
The table below shows the FBDI (in Replace mode) result when a connector is
added, removed, or modified on a V5 Piping part.
If connector names are modified, the corresponding 3DEXPERIENCE port names are modified but the discipline (Piping_Port) remains the same.Part, Attribute, and Port data Result System attributes such as Standard, Sub Part Type, Nominal Size, End Style, Rating, Wall Thickness, and Outside Diameter Updated Existing Port geometry Point to axis system Port attributes Updated New Connector Migrated to Port and appropriate connector geometry is created and linked. Connector geometry points to the axis system. Removed Connector Corresponding port is removed.
Example
The following is an example of how port connector geometry is converted into an axis system when a V5 part is imported into 3DEXPERIENCE. The axis features are added under a new geometrical set called Axis_Systems_FBDI.
In 3DEXPERIENCE a new geometrical set is created:
