PDS Piping Environment

1.0 Introduction

PD_Design enables designers to create a 3D model of the piping and in-line instruments

defined in the P&ID by routing the pipelines through space.When placing the instruments and valves, designers must consider pipeline flexibility,method of construction, and ease of access for maintenance and operations. Designerscan route pipe in the 3D model as a centerline representation; moreover, a 3D shadedmodel can be displayed when necessary. The centerline is intelligent and contains all theinformation that relates to a pipeline, such as the piping material class, nominal diameter,fluid code, insulation parameters, temperatures and pressures, and so forth.The alphanumeric data required for each pipeline can be entered interactively ortransferred from the P&ID. This can be done as the pipe is routed, or it can be added orrevised later. A pipeline can be connected to a specific nozzle or routed from a point inspace. Components such as valves, instruments, and branches can be placed on the

pipeline as it is routed. Values for the alphanumeric data---such as line sequencenumber, nominal diameter, material class, temperatures and pressures---can be set duringrouting.Interactive design checks are performed for each component placement. These checksensure matching or compatible diameters, pressure ratings, end preparations, and otherconsistency criteria. Pipe supports can be modeled giving either a detailed spaceenvelope or a logical representation of the function of the support, such as an anchor,spring, or guide.Placement of the piping components is driven by the specification. The reference data

provides the selection criteria for the piping commodity items that are found in the piping job specification and the piping commodity libraries that are delivered with the product. This data is contained in the RDB and can be used by other projects.The Reference Data Manager (PD_Data) is specifically designed to define and modifythe reference data for the PDS 3D modules. This reference data ensures consistency inthe definition of piping specifications and commodity libraries. It is used to control andstandardize the PDS 3D modules to reflect company practices and standards.

2.0 Piping Commands

The Placement commands enable you to place pipe, piping components, pipe supports,and instrument components. You can also place assemblies (predefined sets ofcomponents).The Revision commands enable you to move, delete, and rotate existing piping. You canrevise individual components, piping segments, or all of the elements on a pipeline ordefined by a group operation.These commands enable you to review or revise the model data stored in the DesignDatabase and Project Control Database. The data associated with each model iscollectively referred to as the Task Database. The Task Database is a working copy ofthe design data for a project, which corresponds to a design volume within the plant.

Each component in a piping model is linked to a database record, which contains non-graphic information about the component. When a component or segment is placed inthe model, the system creates a row in the appropriate database table.

The Review, Revise and Analyze commands enable you to review or revise the modeldata stored in the Design Database and Project Control Database. The data associatedwith each model is collectively referred to as the Task Database. The Task Database is aworking copy of the design data for a project, which corresponds to a design volumewithin the plant.

2.1 Placement Commands

Places pipe, piping components, pipe supports, and instrument components. You canalso place assemblies (predefined sets of components).

These commands enable you to place pipe, piping components, pipe supports, andinstrument components. You can also place assemblies (predefined sets of components).A combination of Sketch, Place Component, Automated Placement, Place Pipe Support,and the Copy Commands is used to model a complete pipeline.


25/116


Commands:

Place Component Manually places components (such as valves or fittings), piping, instruments, or

assemblies.

This command places components in the active model design file. You can place onecomponent at a time and control the characteristics for the specified component (such asend preparation and rating). You can place connecting components one after another, forfitting-to-fitting layout or move to a point in the model, place other components and then

place pipe connecting the two ends.The placement of a piping commodity will respect the option for geometric industrystandard specified in the Project Data Manager. You can specify the geometric industrystandard range to be used for the company practice Physical Data Library .Sub-Commands:

Load from P&ID Uses data defined in the P&ID Task to define the active parameters.

Name from P&ID Selects piping or instrument components by identifying acomponent in the P&ID. The system determines the commodity item name orcomponent number when reading from the Reference Database. No other componentdata is read from the P&ID database.The system checks the piping job specification to make sure the active parameters matcha component in the spec. If the component is found the system displays the item nameand new item name of the selected component. For example,


26/116


Commodity: 6Q1C01 - GATIf the component is not found the system displays the message Commodity Item Not inSpec and activates the Piping Commodity Error Data form.Equivalent NPD Allows you to connect metric piping with English piping. Itreads the Nominal Piping Diameter table from the Piping Job Specification Tables andretrieves the equivalent value for the active nominal piping diameter, if provided. Ifthere is an equivalent value for the active nominal piping diameter, the equivalent value

becomes the active nominal piping diameter and the current nominal piping diameterunits are changed to the equivalent nominal piping diameter units. The active first sizeand second size are updated automatically to the active nominal piping diameter.

Sketch Activates the Sketch form which allows you to define thecenterline of a pipeline prior to the actual placement of the piping items.

Fire and Safety Activates the Fire and Safety form which allows you to placefire hydrants and other safety components.

Bio-Pharm Activates the Bio-Pharm form which allows you to place bio- pharmaceutical components.

Connect to Design Sets the active place point at an existing segment point orcomponent connects point.

Point in Space Sets the active place point to a defined precision point.

Place Pipe Places a specified length of pipe/tube/hose.

Piping Specialty Places a specialty item.

Instrument Places an instrument.

Commodity Option Places a component or pipe with options defined in the spec(such as end preparation or rating) other than the default option.

Piping Assembly Places a predefined set of components.

Commodity Override Places a component out of spec.

Field Descriptions :

Piping Class Changes the active piping materials class. Key in the new piping materials class. The system validates the new piping materials class against the piping job spec. If an error occurs, the system displays the message Error in finding: pmc_name.

First Size / Second Size Changes the active first and/or second size of the component to be placed without changing the segment nominal piping diameter. You can select eitherof the size fields to modify the displayed value. Key in the desired diameter in NPD


27/116


units (inches or millimeters). The system validates the NPD for the current pipingmaterials class. If you enter an invalid key-in the system displays the message Invalid

Nominal Piping Diameter. If the diameter is not within the current piping materials classrange, the message Not Valid for pmc_name is displayed. The second size applies to thereduced end of a component; therefore, second size is always smaller or equal to theFirst Size. If you key in a second size diameter, which is larger than the first size,the system displays the message Second Size is greater than First. The actualconnect point associated with the second size will vary depending on the component.For a reducer, the CP2 diameter is the second size. For a reducing tee, the CP3 diameteris defined by the second size, and the CP1 and CP2 diameters are equal to the active

NPD.

Bend Angle Specifies the bend angle to be used in placement if thecomponent being placed is at the end of the segment. This field is only valid when

placing branches or bends. Key in the desired bend angle to be used for placement.

Component Number Defines the tag prior to placement of the component in thedesign file. The tag is limited to 20 characters and is optional for components and pipes, but is required for piping specialties and instruments.

Coordinate Location Area Identifies the location coordinates of the active segment point, shown in the model by the coordinate system indicator, on the basis of the plant/design volume coordinate system.

Valve Operator Display Field toggle Controls the display of operators during valve placement. This option is valid only in the Primary and Valve components. Select thisfield to toggle the field among the following settings:

Valve Operator Display from RDB Uses the value of the modifier attribute in thePJS to determine the valve operator display (ON or OFF). The modifier is expressed asa code list number from CL550 (operator/actuator type). If the value is a positivenumber (such as 3) the operator is placed with the valve. If the value is a negativenumber (such as -3) the operator is not placed with the valve.

Valve Operator Display On Places the graphics for the operator with the valve,regardless of the default setting in the spec.

Valve Operator Display Off Does not place the operator graphics with the valve,

regardless of the default setting in the spec.

Message Area Contains message fields on the left, which identify the activecommodity item. Additional lines on the right side of the form define the Placementmode and Connectivity.

Active Data Is the right side of the message area that contains a summary ofthe active parameters as described in the section for the Sketch command.The left side of the display area enables you to set the Piping Materials Class, the FirstSize, and the Second Size, independently of the active segment parameters.

2.2 Revise Component

Commands Revises/appends different positional and/or task database information onPDS piping components. Any rotation, addition, or reconstruction of PDS pipingcomponents must be done through these commands and not through MicroStationmanipulations due to the interdependence of graphic and database information.

Commands:Reconstruct Component/Replace Commodity Reconstructs a component to reflect any new placement data (such as NPD or optioncode).


31/116


This command reports any Design Checks errors at any end of the component beingreconstructed, when applicable. For example, if a valve with 150# bolted ends isreconstructed as 300# as a result of a change in the piping specs, warning messages will

be reported that the 300# valve is now incompatible with the mating 150# flanges, afterthe reconstruction of the valve has been completed.Design Checks is performed on the following data for each connect point of thecomponent that is being reconstructed, where a mating component is found.nominal piping diameter required

pressure rating (and table suffix) requiredend preparation requiredschedule/thickness optionaloutside piping diameter optionalThe system display a warning message when moving the adjacent piping as a result ofreconstructing a single component results in a gap or an overlap in the model.

The P&ID data can be transferred to the piping model using several commands:SketchPlace ComponentRevise AttributesAttribute Break

What can be done with the Piping Data Transfer Options?

You can transfer Segment Data from the P&ID on the following forms:on the Active Segment Data form while Sketching or Placing Components.on the Revise Attributes form.on the Attribute Break form.While placing piping, you can retrieve the AABBCC codes for components from P&IDs.While placing specialty items and instruments, you can retrieve tag numbers from theP&ID. You must already have defined the tag numbers in the Specialty and InstrumentSpec Database.You can snap to an off-page connector to window in on the connected drawing andhighlight the segments with the correct line ID.


45/116


You can generate and print a Segment Data report, which contains any discrepancies in piping segment data between the P&ID database and the Piping Design database in the batch environment.This report is created using the P&ID Comparison Report Manager in the Piping DesignData Management module.The P&ID Comparison Review command uses a binary version of the Segment Datareport to interactively review discrepancies and update segment data in the piping modelduring a piping design session. You must first create a Segment Data report for thiscommand to work successfully.You can generate a Named Component Existence report from the P&ID ComparisonReport Manager form, which checks for consistency in the existence of namedcomponents, specialties and instruments by their tag numbers. This report is createdusing the P&ID Comparison Report Manager on the Design Data Management form.You can edit any attribute including the ones being downloaded. The downloadedattributes are color coded to allow you to see the transfer values more easily. On acomplete transfer, the transferred attribute values are yellow, and other attributes are

black. On a partial transfer, the transferred attributes are blue, any default attributes arered, and other attributes are black.

Procedure for P&ID to PDS-3D Piping Data Transfer :

1. Select the PLACE command from main palette. The following form appears.Select the Load from P&ID button as shown below.

Load AcName from P&ID tive Data from P&ID MDB.

This option enables you to update the active segment data based on informationdefined in the P&ID Task.


46/116


2. On clicking, the following form appears :

Unit No. & Unit Code fromP&ID database to be entered.

Graphical P&ID Data Setup Commands

P&ID Node Numbers :Updates the active data to match a specified segment from the P&ID database. Thesystem uses the Unit Number (defined in the Active Segment Data) and the P&IDMaster Data Base Node and Path (defined in the project files) to determine the database,which contains the segment data.Equipment and Nozzle Numbers :Updates the active segment data from the P&ID with the segment data attached to aspecified Equipment/Nozzle Id.Graphical P&ID Data Setup :Updates the active segment data by snapping to graphics in the active P&I drawing. TheP&ID Database is referenced using the P&ID project number. A single table is readfrom this database using the unit number and the attribute linkage from the segment inthe P&I drawing. Refer to P&ID Graphical Data Transfer Setup , for more informationon this option.If you identify a component in the P&I drawing that is associated with more than onesegment, such as a reducer, the active segment data is derived from the segment that isassociated with the connect point nearest the data point.The order of the P&ID node numbers, as specified, determines the assignment of flowdirection in the piping model. By convention, P&ID node number A is at the ActivePlacement Point. As a part of the data transfer process, the P&ID node numbers arestored in the piping model for subsequent use and to retain the associativity between the


47/116


segment in the P&ID Database and the segment(s) in the piping model. Likewise, theunique index into the P&ID Segment Table is stored in the piping model in order toenable the later comparison and update of P&ID node numbers from the P&ID Databaseinto the piping model. It is possible that the P&ID node numbers may be changed by theP&ID propagation process for a specific segment in the P&ID Database as a result ofchanges to the P&I drawing.A warning message is displayed if any one of the following conditions occurs in the

process of loading the active data from the P&ID Database:The piping materials class from the P&ID Database is undefined in the ReferenceDatabase.The nominal piping diameter from the P&ID Database is invalid for the piping materialsclass from the P&ID Database on the basis of the Nominal Piping Diameter Table in thePiping Specification Table Library.The active nominal piping diameter is invalid for the piping materials class from theP&ID Database on the basis of the Nominal Piping Diameter Table in the PipingSpecification Table Library in partial data transfer, where nominal piping diameter is not

loaded.The fluid code from the P&ID Database is invalid for the piping materials class from theP&ID Database on the basis of the Fluid Code Table in the Piping Specification TableLibrary for a piping materials class where a Fluid Code Table is applicable.

Before using this command :Check the value for the Unit Number in the active segment data. The system uses thedefined Unit Number to locate the P&ID database information. Input the relevant valuesand accept the form. Select Graphical P&ID Data Setup option.

This data has to be inputted in form displayed above.


48/116


49/116


One can select a drawing from a list of P&I drawings extracted from the Project ControlDatabase. This list of drawings is limited to those P&I drawings which have been

propagated for the active unit number in the piping model. The applicable drawings arelisted in alphanumeric order by drawing number.Since the P&ID Database is unit dependent and the Piping Design Database is designarea dependent, one Piping design area may include data from different P&ID units.Therefore, you must specify the correct unit number in the active segment data prior torequesting a list of P&I drawings from the P&ID Database.

Commands

Select P&I Drawing by Line ID : Allows you to specify a line id by identifying piping in the piping model or by acceptingthe active line id. The system determines the P&I drawing (or list of drawings) from theline id. It searches the Segment Table of the P&ID Database using the system uniquenumber for the drawing and the line id for the segment. All P&ID segments belonging to

the specified line ID will be highlighted.Select P&I Drawing by Nozzle:Allows you to specify an equipment number and nozzle number by locating a componentconnected to a nozzle, by typing in an equipment number and nozzle number, or by

placing a data point over a nozzle in an equipment model. The system determines theP&I drawing from the equipment number and nozzle number and data in the P&IDDatabase. All P&ID segments that have the same line ID as the segment connected tothe active nozzle will be highlighted.Review P&I Drawing Details : Displays information about a selected P&I Drawing in the active unit.P&ID Drawing Display Categories:

Displays P&ID display categories. Categories that are currently displayed arehighlighted on this form; selecting a category will toggle its setting.There are multiple levels associated with most P&ID categories, so turning a categoryoff in this form may not result actually result in turning that category off for display.

Once you select a drawing by any of the described methods, the P&I drawing and thecorresponding drawing border are attached as reference files. If the system does not finda border, the drawing is attached without the border. A selected screen view is used todisplay the P&I drawing. The system stores this view number in the Type 63 data forthe piping model.
