What's New in Export to PDMS

The following changes have been made to the Export to PDMS User's Guide.
Version 2014 (10.0)
 Export to PDMS functionality now supports the export of Equipment HVAC nozzles into
PDMS. For more information, see Exporting Model Data to PDMS (on page 13) and
CPHVACNozzleMap (on page 57). (P3 CP:193940)
 Export to PDMS functionality is extended to support Smart 3D Electrical data to PDMS. For
more information, see Exporting Model Data to PDMS (on page 13) and
ElectricalComponentSPREFMap (on page 52). (P2 CP:173766)
 A new .INI option, CreatePDMSLogFile, has been added that can generate a log file during
import in PDMS. For more information, see PDMS Export Initialization File Options (on page
23). (CP:20125)
 Export to PDMS functionality can now override the exported object data while re-importing
the datal into PDMS so that you do not need to delete the imported data from PDMS during
re-import. This applies to graphical data and property data. (P3 CP:201256)
 Export to PDMS functionality now uses End Preparation and Pressure Rating in a
combined string to map to the connection type in PDMS. The SP3DEndPreparation attribute
has been replaced with SP3DEndConnection. For more information, see HVACGlobalsMap
(on page 83), and PipingGlobalsMap (on page 90). (CP:214678)
 Export to PDMS functionality option can now map a component of one Smart 3D
specification with a different specification component of PDMS. (CP:204831)
 Export to PDMS functionality CreateHierarchy.ini option can now create the same hierarchy
in PDMS through DATAL files. For more information, see PDMS Export Initialization File
Options (on page 23). (P3 CP:195552)
 Export to PDMS functionality can now create multiple sites in PDMS using the
CreateMultipleSites attribute. For more information, see PDMS Export Initialization File
Options (on page 23). (P3 CP:213303)
 The enhanced Validation tool can now validate the missing mapping for electrical objects.
For more information, see PDMS Export Validation (on page 31). (CP:20914)
 Export to PDMS functionality can now export all Electrical data to PDMS. For more
information, see Exporting Model Data to PDMS (on page 13). (P3 CP:173766)
 Export to PDMS functionality now has a progress bar on the Export command to show the
real-time export progress. (P3 CP:204826)
 Added steps for using labels to map properties of related objects. For more information, see
Mapping Tips (on page 43).
 The DumpUnitsToDatal option has been added to the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file. You
can use this option to write units for all the values being written to the datal file. For more
information, see PDMS Export Initialization File Options (on page 23).

Exporting Model Data to PDMS
SECTION 1

You can export equipment, piping, HVAC, hangers and supports, electrical, and structure model
TM
data from Intergraph Smart 3D that can then be imported into PDMS. The software uses the
File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Model command to create datal files that are
subsequently used by PDMS.
The Export to PDMS functionality needs a S3X license key installed on the License
server.
The transfer of Smart 3D model data is a multi-step operation:
1. Ensure that the Smart 3D and PDMS catalogs are set up properly. For more information,
see Set up the PDMS and Smart 3D catalogs (on page 20).
2. Edit the options in the delivered initialization file to define the parameters used in the export
process. For more information about defining these parameters, see Configure the PDMS
export initialization file (on page 23).
3. Edit the mapping workbook to reflect the customizations that you have made to the Smart
3D object properties. For more information about the translation maps delivered with the
software, see Appendix: Export to PDMS Workbook (on page 45).
4. Use the PDMS Export Validation command to validate the mapping details that you have
defined. For more information, see PDMS Export Validation (on page 31).
5. Export the model data using the File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Model
command in Smart 3D. For more information, see Export Model (on page 36).
Supported Object Types

Not all model data can be exported to PDMS. The following tables list the Smart 3D object
types, by discipline, that are currently supported for export by the software.
Equipment Objects:
Smart 3D Object Type PDMS Object Type Export Options

Catalog equipment Standard equipment  Mapping
 Breaking into primitives
Design equipment Design equipment Breaking into primitives
Catalog equipment component Sub-equipment Breaking into primitives

Piping Objects:
Smart 3D Object Type PDMS Object Type Comments

Pipeline system Pipe The specification attribute on the
PDMS pipe object is controlled
by the PipelineSpec option in
the PDMSExportTranslator.ini
file.
Pipe run Branch It is not necessary for both
definitions to match exactly
because a Smart 3D pipe run
cannot contain components with
multiple diameters, whereas the
PDMS branch can. The
MergeSP3DRuns option in the
PDMSExportTranslator.ini file
combines all of the pipe runs
under a Pipeline system and
splits them into appropriate
PDMS branches. Consequently,
pipe run names in Smart 3D and
branch names in PDMS differ.

Underground and sanitary FTUBE Underground and sanitary
piping piping; that is, piping that is
plain-ended, is exported as
FTUBE from Smart 3D. The
relevant FTUBE components

catalog and mapped
appropriately.
In addition to the piping object types listed in the above table, the necessary PML

HVAC Objects

Ducting system HVAC The specification attribute on the
PDMS HVAC object is controlled
by the HVACSpec option in the
PDMSExportTranslator.ini file.
Generic system HVAC The specification attribute on the
PDMS HVAC object is controlled
by the HVACSpec option in the
PDMSExportTranslator.ini file as
there is no specification property
on the Generic system in Smart
3D.
Duct run BRANCH It is not necessary for both
definitions to match exactly
because a Smart 3D duct run
cannot contain run change
components only at the ends of
the run, whereas the PDMS
branch can contain similar
components in the middle of the
branch. The
MergeSP3DDuctRuns option in
the PDMSExportTranslator.ini
file combines all of the duct runs
under a Ducting system/Generic
system and splits them into
appropriate PDMS branches.
Consequently, duct run names in
Smart 3D differ from branch
names in PDMS.
Duct component Relevant object in The appropriate component is
PDMS based on created based on the mapped
GType GType of the component.
Gasket GASKET Gasket dimensions in PDMS

Best Practices
During export, if the software encounters a name that does not meet one of these conventions, it
modifies the name before writing it to the datal file, resulting in mismatched object names
between the two models. As such, Intergraph recommends that you use the following naming
conventions when modeling in Smart 3D:
 Create a unique name for each modeled object so that no duplicates exist.
 Make sure object names contain no spaces.
 Make sure object names do not exceed 50 characters.
Limitations
The following limitations are known to exist when importing piping, equipment, HVAC, hangers
and supports, structure, and electrical model data to PDMS from Smart 3D:
Global:
 When exporting a hierarchy, a recursive user-defined element type cannot be created in
PDMS. For example, if a piping system is created once, it can neither be its own parent or
child, but it can be a sibling.
Equipment Models:
 If the catalog is not set up or if mapping is not provided for an object, the software breaks
the object into GTypes and objects in exports them as primitives. As such, the equipment
item may be difficult to modify after it is imported into PDMS.
 Imported shapes are placed under a sub-equipment node, but they should be treated as
primitives because they are shapes in Smart 3D.
 In the current release of the software, the catalog equipment component is transferred only
through GTypes. Mapping is not supported.
Piping Models:
 Because there is no concept of on-the-fly specialty components and on-the-fly instruments
in PDMS, these Smart 3D piping objects must be created as explicit components in PDMS.
It is assumed that there is one on-the-fly specialty component or instrument for every
different end preparation, pressure rating, schedule thickness, and end standard.
 Supports are exported only as logical supports and appear as attachments in the PDMS
piping isometric drawing output.
 No bolt sets or washers from the model are transferred from Smart 3D to PDMS. These are
considered implied items and the catalog should be set up properly before the export
process is started. Bolt lengths, bolt diameters, and number of bolts should match the Smart
3D data.
Structure Models:
 The software sets the PLine attribute for JLine and MLine on sections and joints to NA
(Neutral Axis) by default.
 Cuts, features on members, and objects created during assembly connections are exported
as fittings. Negative geometries are created for cuts, and panels are created for additional
objects.
Export using catalog joints is not supported in the current release of the software.
 The software breaks stair, ladder, handrail, footing, and equipment foundation objects into
GTypes and exports them as primitives under the STRUCTURE element.
 Curved plate parts on both plate systems and built-up members are exported as smaller
triangular planes which make-up the total curved surface.

 The hole fitting object on the planar plate part is exported as a panel fitting under the PANEL
element (planar plate part). Curved plate parts are exported as SUBSTRUCTURE, because
the PANEL element is not created for a curved plate part.
 Openings, trim, corner, and end cut features on the profile part are not exported.
 Twisted stiffeners are exported by breaking the profile part into primitives and exporting
them under the SUBSTRUCTURE element.
Hanger and Support Models:
 If the catalog is not set up or if mapping is not provided for all hanger and support
Components present in Smart 3D, then the software breaks the object into GTypes and
exports them as primitives.
 Because the export of hanger and support model data is dependent on structure model
data, the structure model data must be imported into PDMS before the hanger and support
model data.
HVAC Models:
 Supports are exported only as logical supports and appear as attachments in the PDMS
isometric drawing output.
 No bolt sets or washers from the model are transferred from Smart 3D to PDMS. These are
considered implied items and the catalog should be set up properly before the export
process is started. Bolt lengths, bolt diameters, and number of bolts should match the Smart
3D data.
Electrical Models:
 If the catalog is not set up or if mapping is not provided for an object, the software breaks all
electrical objects into GTypes, and exports them as equipment objects for space reservation
purposes only. Consequently, an equipment item from PDMS can be difficult to modify after
it is imported.
 Imported geometries are placed under a sub-equipment node. The behavior of the imported
data can be correlated to equipment designs of electrical objects.

Set up the PDMS and Smart 3D catalogs

Prior to exporting Smart 3D model data, a catalog with corresponding objects, parts, and
specifications must already exist in PDMS. You can generate the required piping catalogs in
Smart 3D and PDMS formats using Intergraph's materials management software, SmartPlant
Reference Data. For more information, see Generate catalog and reference data in Smart 3D
and PDMS formats for PDMS export (on page 36). For a successful export, ensure that the
PDMS catalog meets the criteria outlined below.
Equipment Model Data

 The PDMS catalog must contain the same equipment shapes and nozzles that exist in the
Smart 3D catalog.
 To export catalog equipment using a mapping file, the Smart 3D symbol definition template
must also be present in the PDMS catalog.
 To export nozzles, all nozzle data must exist in the PDMS catalog prior to export and must
match the nozzle data in the Smart 3D catalog.
 You must provide mapping information for any new shape. The shape in PDMS must be an
exact match of the shape in Smart 3D.
Piping Model Data

 All of the piping specifications in the PDMS catalog must also exist in the Smart 3D catalog
 All of the components used in a piping specification must be present in the PDMS catalog
and should match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensional
data must also match between the two catalogs.
 All end preparations must be set up in the PDMS catalog.
 All of the piping specialties and instruments of both the catalog and on-the-fly types must be
set up in PDMS as either PCOMP or INST. Their dimensional data must match that of the
components in the Smart 3D catalog.
 All gaskets and welds with exact thickness must be set up and available in the PDMS
catalog.
 Insulation and tracing specifications must be set up the same in both catalogs.
 Bolt sets in the PDMS catalog must match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Any difference
between these two sets of data adversely impact how bolts are reported in the isometric
drawing output. Bolt and washer model data are not exported to PDMS and are treated as
implied items by the export process.
HVAC Model Data

 All of the HVAC specifications in the PDMS catalog must also exist in the Smart 3D catalog.
 All of the components used in a HVAC specification must be present in the PDMS catalog
and should match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and dimensional
data must also match between the two catalogs.
 All end preparations must be set up in the PDMS catalog.
 All gaskets and welds with exact thickness must be set up and available in the PDMS
catalog.
 Insulation and tracing specifications must be set up the same in both catalogs.

 Bolt sets in the PDMS catalog must match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Any difference
between these two sets of data adversely impacts how bolts are reported in the isometric
drawing output. Bolt and washer model data are not exported to PDMS and are treated as
implied items by the export process.
Structure Model Data

 To export members, the dimensions, properties, and cardinal points of the cross-section in
the PDMS catalog must match those in the Smart 3D catalog.
 To export insulation on members using mapping, an exact match for the encasement must
be present in the PDMS catalog. For each cross-section type, a corresponding PDMS
catalog fitting must be present; the geometry of the catalog fitting should match exactly with
the insulation encasement for that particular cross-section type.
 To export the material property on a structure object, each material in the Smart 3D catalog
must be mapped to appropriate material in the PDMS catalog.
 To export a material property, you must provide mapping for any new structural catalog
object in Smart 3D. Mapping for default supported objects, such as stairs, ladders, handrails,
footings, equipment foundations, and hole fittings, is already provided.
 To export profile parts, the dimensions, properties, and cardinal points (with Load Points in
Smart 3D) of the cross section in the PDMS catalog must match those in the Smart 3D
catalog.
Hangers and Support Model Data

 To transfer hangers and supports by mapping, the PDMS catalog should be exactly the
same as the Smart 3D catalog. Otherwise there are mismatches in the geometry and
orientation of the transferred support components.
Electrical Model Data

 All of the electrical specifications in the PDMS catalog must also exist in the Smart 3D
catalog.
 All of the components used in an electrical specification must be present in the PDMS
catalog and should match those in the Smart 3D catalog. Component properties and
dimensional data must also match between the two catalogs.
 Insulation and tracing specifications must be the same in both catalogs.

primitives.
 0 - Do not export twisted stiffener parts.
 1 - Export twisted stiffener parts as GTypes. This is the default value.
ToleranceForMemberCutGeometry - Provides a balance between performance and the quality
of the imported model. When cut geometry is encountered during export, the software breaks
the surfaces into small planes, which are used to create a negative solid polyhedron. The more
planes that are created, the smoother the surface, which can adversely impact the amount of
time required to import the model into PDMS. You can adjust the value as necessary to
compromise between performance and smoothness.

PDMS Export Validation

With the File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > PDMS Export Validation command, you can
validate the mapping data that you have defined in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls
workbook. The command uses a specified set of user-defined criteria to locate missing mapping
details, and then updates the mapping file as follows:
 A sheet named Smart 3D Objects-Missing Mapping is created in the mapping file. This
sheet lists the missing mapping information.
 Individual worksheets are updated with missing mapping information. For easy identification,
updated cells are highlighted in red.
The results of the validation process are also written to a log file.

Export Model
The File > Export > PDMS Datal Export > Export Model command exports model data from
Smart 3D for subsequent import into PDMS. The process involves transferring Smart 3D objects
and their attribute values to PDMS's native datal file format. For information about the types of
Smart 3D model data that you can export to PDMS, see Exporting Model Data to PDMS (on
page 13).
Prior to using the PDMS export functionality, you must perform the following tasks:
1. Ensure that the Smart 3D and PDMS catalogs are set up properly. For more information,
see Set up the PDMS and Smart 3D Catalogs (on page 20).
2. Edit the options in the delivered initialization file to define the parameters used in the export
process. For more information about the initialization file, see Configure the PDMS Export
Initialization File (on page 23).
3. Edit the mapping workbooks to reflect the customizations that you have made to the Smart
3D model object attributes. For more information about the mapping worksheets, see
Appendix: Export to PDMS Workbook (on page 45).
4. Ensure that the mapping and INI (PDMSExportTranslator.ini) files are in the same file path
before exporting model data to PDMS.
5. Use the PDMS Export Validation command to validate the mapping details that you have
defined. For more information, see PDMS Export Validation (on page 31).
Generate catalog and reference data in Smart 3D and PDMS

formats for PDMS export
You can extract piping catalogs and reference data in Smart 3D and PDMS formats, and
associate the mapping between the two formats. You can generate piping catalog and reference
data simultaneously in either of the formats. The flow diagram below illustrates the parallel
generation process for PDMS export.
You must have a SmartPlant Materials 2011 (7.0.5) license to extract piping
specifications from the standard database (SDB).

Load piping specification from SDB into Smart 3D catalog

Piping specification and component data can be exported from the standard database to
Microsoft Excel workbooks, and then bulkloaded into the catalog or they can be exported
directly to the Smart 3D catalog database. For more information on the integration procedure,
see SmartPlant Reference Data Smart 3D Interface User’s Guide which is delivered with the
SmartPlant Materials software.
Extract piping specification data from SDB/SPRD in PDMS format

Any piping specification data can be extracted in PDMS format from the standard database.
Extracted specification data can be loaded into the PDMS catalog using PDMS
PARAGON/SPECON modules. For more information on the integration procedure, see
SmartPlant Reference Data PDMS Interface User’s Guide, which is delivered with the
Load SDB specification data into PDMS catalog

When the piping specification is extracted from the SDB in PDMS format, piping specification
data generates materials, detailed text, specification, and component catref link files. These files
should be loaded into the PDMS catalog in the order specified below using PDMS
PARAGON/SPECON modules. For more information on the integration procedure, see
SmartPlant Reference Data PDMS Interface User’s Guide, which is delivered with the
PDMS format files to load Loading order

Materials file 1
Detailed text file 2
Specification file 3
Component Catref link file 4
PDMS does not allow the materials and detailed text to be loaded if the line count in the
above generated files is more than 5000.
 Before loading the specification files ensure that the materials and detailed text files exist in
PDMS catalog.
 PDMS administrators need to make arrangements to load the component/dimensional data
into PDMS catalog.
 You cannot use loaded specification files from PDMS unless all of the
component/dimensional data along with the point sets and geometry sets are generated for
the specification. Also, ensure that the SCOMs are created in PDMS before the Component
Catref link file is run.
 SmartPlant Reference Data integration does not transfer instruments and specialties in SDB
to PDMS. You need to manually transfer and create appropriate mapping between
instruments and specialties.

Extract mapping information between Smart 3D and PDMS piping data

The extracted mapping data between Smart 3D and PDMS piping data can be used in the
S3DPDMSExportmapping.xls workbook. You can also use this workbook to export PDMS
data. To extract a mapping file in .XLS format, use the Company Menu > CO.SD SDB-Tools >
COM.PX.02.02 Export PDMS/SP3D-Data standard database tools. Mapping configuration also
generates additional data related to size independent commodity codes used in either tool, so
that the additional data can be used to generate dimensional data for components in PDMS.
Mapping information can be extracted for each component per specification with
corresponding Idents and size independent Smart 3D commodity codes along with its Idents
that can be used in PDMS.
Remove */ from the PDMS value when appending the mapping information to the
S3DPDMSExportmapping.xls workbook.

SECTION 2
Troubleshooting
The following topics list solutions to common problems that you may have when exporting model
data to PDMS. Tips for improving performance are also provided.
Performance Tips
 Export/Import performance and file size -The following table provides a summary of data
transfer performance for a sample model:
File Export Import

Discipline Number of first class objects
size Time Time
 334 equipment items (37
designed equipment items and
297 catalog equipment items 180
Equipment 7.2 MB 600 seconds

 1,109 nozzles
 350 shapes
2,000 pipe parts/components,
Piping consisting of 90 pipelines and 210 57 7KB 40 seconds 65 seconds
pipe runs
 790 members
 19 handrails 240
Structure 6 MB 360 seconds
 9 ladders seconds
 6 stairs
 Recommended file size for PDMS import - The following table summarizes the time taken
to import two sample datasets of equipment, piping, and structure model data into PDMS.
The filter Smart 3D size can be chosen accordingly.
These are only guidelines, which can be modified and refined with real projects.
Discipline File Size Import Time

 7.2 MB  10 minutes
Equipment
 23 MB  40 minutes
 577KB  1 minute
Piping
Structure

Troubleshooting
 Equipment imported using SAT and DGN files in Smart 3D is slow - PDMS does not
support complex curved surfaces; consequently, b-spline surfaces stored in the Smart 3D
databases are broken into smaller polyhedrons, which adversely impacts export and import
performance.
Import/Export Issues
 Hierarchy exported from Smart 3D to PDMS - PDMS has a fixed hierarchy for model
objects across the various disciplines, whereas Smart 3D can have a deep hierarchy of
systems in place prior to the creation of model objects. Currently, the parent of equipment,
pipeline systems, and structural objects are created as a zone object, and the parent of a
duct run is created as an HVAC object in PDMS hierarchy. In the current release of the
software, you can control how the hierarchy is created based on the option CreateHierarchy
in the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file.
 Names of objects in Smart 3D and PDMS do not match - Typically caused by object
names being duplicated during Smart 3D modeling. During export, the unique name
generator mechanism creates new unique names for objects whose names are duplicated.
For more information about recommended naming conventions, see "Best Practices" in
Exporting Model Data to PDMS (on page 13).
 The way pipes and ducts are split into branches is inconsistent with the way that they
would be modeled in PDMS - Smart 3D provides two options:
 A break at the pipe/duct run level can cause this problem. Check the pipe/duct run for
breaks.
 Merge all pipeline/duct components between two free ends, two nozzles, one free end
and one nozzle, one branch and one free end, and so on to construct the branch in
PDMS. This is controlled using the default setting of the
MergesSP3DRuns/MergeSP3DDuctRuns option in the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file.
When this option is used, the run names in Smart 3D and the branch names in PDMS
can change and be reflected differently in the isometric drawing output.
 Specifications are from PDMS and not from Smart 3D - The piping and HVAC data is
being transferred using mapping to the equivalent specification present in PDMS. To resolve
this issue, create the needed specifications in Smart 3D, provide the necessary mapping,
and then perform the transfer.
 Update of objects - Updating objects that have been exported to PDMS is supported in the
current release of the software based on ExportOption in the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file.
 Incremental transfer of the model - The same model can be broken into multiple
filters/sizes and exported incrementally. If the objects already exist in PDMS, they can be
overwritten or skipped based on ExportOption in the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file.
 Label size in Smart 3D - While defining labels on Smart 3D objects, make sure the length
is less than 50 characters. PDMS errors if a label longer than 50 characters is mapped to
any user-defined attribute in PDMS.

Troubleshooting
Project Creation Estimates

PDMS reference data creation for a typical project - The following list summarizes the
approximate time usually needed to create various catalog items in PDMS:
 Catalog equipment, if needed - Allow 1 to 4 days for each template, depending upon
complexity.
 Nozzle data - Depends upon the number of records of nozzle data; easy to create.
 Piping specifications (Data) - Depends upon the size of specification and common parts
used within specifications. Can vary from 3 to 5 days for each specification when created
manually with in PDMS.
 SmartPlant Reference Data (SPRD) to PDMS approach can be considered as one of
the solutions.
 Use a tool on the internet to create specification data.
 Point set and geometry set used by the piping specifications (equal to piping symbols) -
Allow 1 to 2 days for each point set and geometry set, depending upon complexity.
 Sections - Allow 2 days for each section type to create catalog.
 Material - Depends upon number of records; easy to create.
 Joints specification - Joints references are similar to assembly connections in Smart 3D.
Allow 1 to 2 days for each new joint. Generally, PDMS delivered joints should be adequate
for a typical project.
Mapping Tips
Labels in Smart 3D can be used to map direct objects or properties of related objects, such as
traverse relationships, during export in the mapping file.
The steps below illustrate how to export the equipment part number that is present on the
related catalog part to the PDMS datal file.
1. In the Smart 3D Catalog task, create a label that gives the part number of the placed
equipment.
For more information about creating labels, see Label Editor Command in the
Catalog User's Guide. You can access this document using the Help > Printable Guides
command in the software.
2. Open the CPSmartEquipmentMap equipment translation mapping file.
The CPSmartEquipmentMap mapping file is located in the
S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook. By default, this workbook is delivered in the
[Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\Data\Translators\S3DPDMSExport folder during
setup.
3. Map the SP3D Attribute to the corresponding PDMS Attribute.
4. Type TRUE in the Label column. An example is shown below.
5. Save the mapping file.

MapType – Defines the map type of the attribute. Acceptable values are as follows:
 NameDef - Used when the value needs to be directly transferred. For example, there is an
attribute named NPD in the source system and one named NominalDiameter in the
destination system. Because both attributes have the same meaning, the value just needs to
be transferred between the two systems. By default, if no MapType is specified, NameDef is
used.
 ValueDef - Used when the value of an attribute needs to be mapped before it is transferred.
 AdditionalAttributeDef - Used when it is necessary to create new or additional attributes
for the value of a given attribute.
 PatternDef - Used to create a new value of an attribute that is based on a specific pattern.
 A value can be any valid regular expression.
 CharacterDef - Used to split the value of an attribute using a delimiter or character position
and string length to generate new attributes.
SheetName – Defines the name of the sheet in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook
that contains additional mapping information related to the attribute, if any exists.
Formula – Type the formula used to calculate the value of the attribute to mapped, if one is
needed. For example, if the source system has an attribute Radius that needs to be mapped to
the destination system's attribute Diameter, the software cannot substitute one value for the
other. Instead the value used for Diameter would result from the following calculation: Diameter
= 2 * Radius.
Value - Specifies the value of the PDMS attribute.
Label – Specifies whether the Smart 3D attribute is a label. Type TRUE/YES or FALSE/NO.
Entries can be in lowercase or uppercase. For more information, see Mapping Tips (on page

Hierarchy Translation Maps

Use the hierarchy translation mapping sheets in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook to
map Smart 3D hierarchy properties to the correct PDMS hierarchy attributes.
UDETS (User Defined Element Types) of PDMS are used to create a hierarchy similar to
that of the Smart 3D hierarchy. Before importing the UDETS defined in the mapping file, you
have to create them in PDMS. The delivered mapping sheet has all Smart 3D systems under the
Smart 3D Class Name. You have to define all the required UDETS, map them correspondingly
to those from Smart 3D and then export the model to DATAL. The generated DATAL emulates
the hierarchy of Smart 3D in PDMS when imported.

Structure Translation Maps

Use the structure translation mapping sheets in the S3DPDMSExportMapping.xls workbook to
map Smart 3D structure properties to the correct PDMS structure attributes. Before exporting
Smart 3D structure model data to PDMS, you must modify these sheets to ensure that the
following criteria have been met:
 All of the cross-sections and respective cardinal points in the Smart 3D model are mapped
to the corresponding cross-sections and PLine attributes in the PDMS catalog. This is
mandatory for the export of members from Smart 3D.
 All of the Marine cross-sections and respective load points in the Smart 3D model are
mapped to the corresponding cross-sections and PLine attributes in the PDMS catalog. This
is mandatory for the export of profile parts from Smart 3D.
 In the PDMSExportTranslator.ini file, TransferInsulationAsGTypes is set so that insulation
is exported using the mapping file, then the catalog must be set up for insulation on
members. Also, all insulation encasements in the model must be created in the PDMS
catalog and mapped to the corresponding fitting in PDMS.

UnitsAdditionalAttributeMap
The UnitsAdditionalAttributeMap sheet maps Smart 3D measuring parameters and their units
to those on PDMS.
SP3D Value – Do not modify this entry.
PDMS Attribute - Do not modify this entry.
Attribute Value - You can change these values so that PDMS can accept these strings but
there are some limitations.

Radius.

 You can change the way a unit is written to the datal file but should not change it into its
derived forms. For example, if distance is written in millimeters, the mapping sheet can be
modified to write MM, mm, or Millimeter but not centimeter or kilometer.
 You cannot add new measuring parameters to the sheet.
