Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data: An Overview

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data: An Overview

Before working with equipment and furnishings reference data, you must be familiar with how the software handles reference data in general. If you have not already done so, read and understand the following important concepts and procedures described in the SmartPlant 3D Reference Data Guide:

Custom attributes Codelists Naming rules Bulkloading

For example, before you can define pumps in your reference data, you must understand how pump data relates to data on the custom interfaces sheet, and how that information relates to parameters defined when the pump symbol is created. The equipment and furnishings reference data is defined in the following Microsoft Excel workbooks:

Equipment.xls EquipmentComponent.xls Equipment_SE.xls ElectricalEquipment.xls

The Equipment.xls and EquipmentComponent.xls Excel workbooks are delivered locally in the workstation setup to the [Product Directory]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles folder. Equipment_SE.xls is delivered to the [Product Directory]\CatalogData\Bulkload\AdditionalData folder. The ElectricalEquipment.xls workbook is delivered to the [Product Directory]\CatalogData\Bulkload\SampleData folder. Notes

The Place Nozzle command uses reference data defined in the StandardNozzleData.xls spreadsheet. See the SmartPlant 3D Reference Data Guide for more information. The Place Shape command uses reference data defined in the Shapes.xls spreadsheet. See the SmartPlant 3D Symbols Reference Data Guide for more information.

12 Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data: An Overview Reference data determines the physical representation of the equipment objects that you place in the model. For example, when you place a pump in the model, properties, such as base plate thickness or motor width and diameter, are determined by values that have been defined in the reference data.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 13

Equipment Parts: An Overview

Equipment Parts: An Overview

Almost all equipment parts are represented by symbols. You can find which symbol is used for a particular delivered part by looking in the SymbolDefinition column (usually cell C4) of the part sheet. For example, if you look at the VesselwithSkirtAsm sheet, you will see that SP3DVesselwithSkirtAsm.CVesselWSSym is the symbol definition. Symbols are named after the text that comes before the period. In this example, the part uses symbol SP3DVesselwithSkirtAsm. For more information on equipment symbols, see Equipment Symbols: An Overview in the SmartPlant 3D Symbols Reference Data Guide, accessible from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software. Common Properties Below is a listing of the common properties that you will see on a part sheet. The common properties are listed in the order that they appear, from left to right, on the part sheet. Name - Enter the part number for the equipment part. The keyword Name must be respected in the spreadsheet, but it is actually equivalent to the PartNumber. The software uses the part number at placement when the part name is automatically generated. An example is BA106E 42309-1. Important

All part numbers must be unique across the entire catalog.

PartDescription - Type a description for the equipment part. An example is Centrifugal Pump, 10" suction, 8" discharge. MirrorBehaviorOption - Type the mirror behavior code for the horizontal vessel. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Mirror Behavior Option sheet in the Codelist Number column. ReplacementPartNumber - Specify the replacement part number for the equipment part. ProcessEqTypes(i) - Type the coded process equipment type for the part. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Equipment Types sheet in the Codelist Number column. For example, 365 is the equipment type code for a Vertical centrifugal pump. SymbolDefinition - Type a definition of the Visual Basic symbol you are creating for the equipment part. An example is SP3DVesselwithSkirtAsm.CVesselWSSym. Definition - Type a definition of the Visual Basic class you are creating for the Custom Assembly Definition for an equipment part. An example is SP3DVesselWSkirt.Asm.CVesselWSDef.

14 Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide

Equipment Parts: An Overview UserClassName - Sets the user name for the part class. You can use this field to give more meaningful names to the user classes, if necessary. This name appears in the Catalog browser. OccClassName - Sets the occurrence name for the part class. This name appears on the filter dialog boxes in the software. SymbolIcon - Specifies a graphic file for the part class. You can view this graphic in the Catalog task interface or on a Properties dialog box in the software. Dry COG X - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the xaxis when the part is empty. DryWeight - Enter the empty weight of the part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value. WaterWeight - Enter the water weight of the equipment part. Be sure to specify the units when entering this value. Note

For Equipment, the Weight and CG property "Wet Weight" is the sum of Dry Weight and Water Weight. The dry weight and water weight values are catalog properties entered on the part sheet for the equipment.

DryCOGY - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the yaxis when the part is empty. DryCOGZ - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the zaxis when the part is empty. WaterCOGX - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the x-axis when the part is filled with water. WaterCOGY - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the y-axis when the part is filled with water. WaterCOGZ - Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the z-axis when the part is filled with water. Tip

For the remaining properties, (i) indicates an integer corresponding to a nozzle number assigned to an equipment part. This method avoids a lengthy listing for all possibilities, such as Nozzle(1):EndPrep, Nozzle(2):EndPrep, and Nozzle(3):EndPrep for three possible nozzles. When you type the nozzle properties into the workbook, substitute a number for (i) to assign the nozzle to the appropriate property.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 15

Equipment Parts: An Overview Nozzle(i):NPD - Type the nominal piping diameter for the particular nozzle connection. Unless you specify otherwise, the software defines nozzle 1 as the primary nozzle. Nozzle(i):NPDUnitType - Specify the units for the nominal piping diameter of the nozzle. For example, type mm for millimeters or in for inches. Nozzle(i):EndPrep - Type the coded end preparation for the nozzle connection. Valid end preparation codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the End Preparation sheet in the Codelist Number column. Nozzle(i):EndStandard - Type the coded end standard for the nozzle connection. Valid end preparation codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the End Standard sheet in the Codelist Number column. Nozzle(i):ScheduleThickness - Type the schedule thickness (wall thickness) short description code for the nozzle. Valid codes and short descriptions are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the ScheduleThickness sheet in the Codelist Number and Schedule Thickness Short Description columns. If you enter the wall thickness directly, include the units. For example, type 7mm. Nozzle(i):PressureRating - Type the coded pressure rating for the nozzle connection. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Pressure Rating sheet in the Codelist Number column. Nozzle(i):FlowDirection - Type the coded flow direction for the nozzle. Specifying the correct flow direction code for each part port is very important, because the software automatically orients the part to the flow direction of the pipe or port to which the part is connected. Note

In Version 6, the nozzles may (totally or partially) or may not be driven by the symbol. If the position and orientation of a nozzle is controlled by the symbol, a nozzle place holder must be created in the symbol and the real nozzle created in the CAD (Custom Assembly Definition) by way of the EquipmentCADHelper will follow the place holder. The corresponding properties (or more, such as the NPD) must be made read-only in the CAD. If none of the properties are driven by the symbol, the nozzle must be entirely defined and controlled by the CAD.
