1.0 PURPOSE

The intent of this document is to guide new user to be familiar with the SUPPORTMTO PROGRAM.

2.0 INTRODUCTION TO SUPPORT MTO PROGRAM

Support MTO Programis a set of Visual Basic Application code, which is compiledin MS-Excel application. The code is self-executable and does not require anyspecial application other than MS-Excel. The MTO File generated is independent ofthis program and can be opened in Excel without installing this program.

3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 To install this program you need MS-Excel (2000) or higher version.

3.2 If you have any old version of Support MTO Programthen you need to delete theold folder before upgrading to Version-1.1.

3.3 To install the program on your machine follow these steps: -

a) Create folder SupportMTO in D:\ Drive.

b) Copy all program files into D:\SupportMTO .

c) Launch MS-Excel.

d) Set Excel Security Level(Tools->Macro->Security)to Mediumor Low.

4.0 PROJECT SET-UP

4.1. Do Project Set-Up at the start of each new project. This activity is required to bedone for each project as the Technocode file changes from project to project.

4.2. Before doing Project-Set-Up, you need technocode dictionary file. Split technocodedictionary file into two different worksheets of one excel file. The first worksheet isnamed as TechnoCode and second worksheet name as SecondarySteel .You have the flexibility to give some other names also but it is recommended togive this name only for ease in remembering. Keep technocodes of Lisegacomponent in worksheet TechnoCode and technocodes of secondary steels inworksheet SecondarySteel . In case you do not want to use any technocode thendelete the relevant rows from this technocode file. The strike-through format intechnocode dictionary is not suf ficient and ignored by Support MTO Program.

4.3. Activating following sub menu does project Set-Up.

specification of the structural component should be as per techno code dictionary. Ifthe PDMS model contains any structure whose specification & size is not availabein technocode dictionary, then Support MTO Program can not convert thesecomponents into a meaningful techno code. Note that units of quantity in MTO fileare dependend on technocode. If technocodes are not correct in MTO file, then

qty calculation may be in-correct.

9.5 Normally the following units are used in MTO file as per work procedure WP010 A.Refer the work procedure for more details.

A. Structural component , metre (m).

B. Plates metre (m).

C. Sheet sq. metre (m2).

D. Lisega Components, Nos .

E. Displacements, mm .

F. Operating Load, kN.

G. Preset Load, kN.

H. Length, m.

9.6 Note that BOXare converted to technocode of plate or sheet based on xlength,

ylength andzlengthattribute of PDMS. Initially Support MTO Programsearchesfor plate technocode from the tecnocode dictionary for each BOX item. But if theprogram can not find the plate technocode then it converts item into technocode ofsheet. This is done as plates are preferred over sheets.

10.0 MAKING PDMS REPORT FOR SUPPORT MTO

10.1 A PDMS Report template (File name: SUPPORT_MTO_ALL) is supplied along withSupport MTO Programas a part of the program. This template may optionally becopied to the PDMS report template folder. Alternatively, it can be run directly frominstallation directory (D:\SupportMTO) of Support MTO Program.

19.0 CHECK AND REVIEW MTO

19.1 This command is used to check the MTO data. Most common errors are eliminated.

19.2 Support MTO Program checks MTO through specially designed dialog box. Thereare twelve checking options. Select any one of the checking option and click onCheck . Go through the following to know more about each of the specificchecking options.

A. Both the Support MTO & LH are prepared batchwise. This option is to checkthe completeness of MTO. All supports should appear in MTO file as per LH.Support MTO Programprovides list of supports that are not appearing inMTO file and saves the list in a notepad file. Note that you need to provideLH filename & worksheet name as per Clause no 11.2 (A) & (B).

Sometimes a pipe may rest on primary steel or may rest on secondary steelof other support, still we create a support name (PDMS ATTA)at this point toindicate a pipe support. In this case, this particular support will be listed in LHbut it will not have any support MTO. Support MTO Programprompts thatyou have missed MTO for this support but you have to ignore this message.

B. Both the Support MTO & LH are prepared batchwise. This option is to findthe list of supports appearing in MTO file but not in LH. Support MTOProgramprovides such list of supports and saves the list in a text file.

Sometimes after issuing MTO, some supports are deleted or shifted fromone batch to other batch. This checking option easily finds such supports.

Note that you need to provide LH filename & worksheet name as Clause no11.2 (A) & (B) while checking.

C. Technocodes of springs are indicated in LH. The lisega spring code is a six(6) digit numeric number. The middle two digits defines spring rate. In LHspring code are indicated as per stress analysis. While issuing support MTO,

designer needs to be sure that correct spring is indicated in MTO file.

MTO file has technocode and LH has lisega code of a spring. Support MTOProgram converts techno code into lisega manufacturing code andcompares the middle two digits. If the program finds any mismatches, then itlists them in a text file. Note that you need to provide LH filename &worksheet name as Clause no 11.2 (A) & (B).

D. Support function , Piping Batch, Hot Displacement data are indicated in MTOfile. These data are written in MTO file as per LH. Often LH gets updated and

the corresponding changes in MTO needs to be incorporated. Support MTOProgramfinds such mismatches in a text file.

E. Normally we do not model piping shear lugs in PDMS. Hence this item doesnot appear in MTO file automatically but the designer enters them manually.

Before entering the shear lugs, designer can get a list of supports whereshear lugs needs to be appended. Support MTO Program generates thislist of supports as per support function and technocodes (GT, S support withvertical riser clamp etc.).

F. A U-Bolt plate is required alongwith a U-bolt support. The U-Bolt plate isnormally modelled as BOX in PDMS. These BOX items are converted intoplate or sheet technocodes. Hence there is a chance that the designer maymiss to put U-bolt plate in MTO file. Support MTO Programchecks this andfinds such cases.

G. If a SR type Support is with trunion, then designer normally goes for doubletrunions to keep the support balanced. This SR is modelled in LICAD withhalf load and imported in PDMS with the help of LICAD macro.

In PDMS, designer copies and moves this spring at truninon location fromPDMS ATTAlocation. Now we have two springs in PDMS and one spring inLICAD. If a designer extracts MTO from LICAD, then there is a chance tomiss MTO for this copied spring.

Support MTO Program searches for a combination of SR and pipetechnocode in same support. If it finds them, then the program considers this

SR support with trunion and hence there must be two springs. The programlists such cases and saves them in a text file.

H. This checking is done for the supports of insulated pipes.The supports ofinsulated pipes are supported with pipe clamps. Support MTO Programlistsuch supports where pipe clamps are missing. There may be cases wherehot pipes are supported with trunions. Designer has to ignore such cases.

Note that the supports of non-insulated pipe may have U-bolts. U-bolttechnocodes are considered as pipe clamps.

I. The MTO file should contain valid technocodes as per technocode dictionary.If any technocode appears in a MTO file but not in technocode dictionary,then that code is considered invalid. Support MTO Programchecks this andprovides a list of such cases in a text file.

J. For spring supports designer needs to fill displacement, preset load, hotdisplacement data in MTO file manualy. If these are not filled, Support MTOProgramfinds such cases and list them in a text file.

Additianly for a vertical riser clamp & trapeeze, designer needs to fill lengthcolumn. If this is not filled, the program finds such cases and list them in a

text file.

K. All rows of MTO file should be unique with respect to technocodes. Sametechnocode should not be repeated for a single support. This checking helpsto find such cases.

L. This option checks Excel MTO file with ACAD MTO report. This ACAD MTO

Report can be prepared as per Clause no. 6.0 ACAD MTO REPORTPREPARATION . Support MTO Program will prompt for ACAD Reportfilename before checking. Provide input as per Clause no 5.3 (A). Afterchecking, the program saves the mismatches in MTO data in a text file.

M. This is a drop-down list to select a particular support for viewing in list box(O). You can paste support tag or type it in this list box, if needed. Next tothis drop-down list there is a label which indicates sequence of supportselected from drop down-list (M) out of total count.

N. This check box filters data of excel sheet. To remove filter un-check this.

O. This is list box which shows the detailed component list of support selectedin (M). This list box is designed to check & compare autocad drawings. Thefield Pos is serial no. The Qty is the quantity of the item as per activeMTO file. The Description, Type and Material of the components areas per technocode dictionary. The Weight is calculated by the program byreading unit weight from technocode dictionary and multiplying it with itsquantity. The Technocode is the code per active MTO file. Selecting acomponent in list box highlights the same in active excel sheet.

P. This section indicates the weight of support components. The weight

calculated by adding weights in list box (O). The type of component(Secondary steel or Lisega component) is determined from technocodedictionary. This calculated weight data can be used to cross-check Autocaddrawings.

Q. This sections of the dialog box is for command buttons.

i. Click Close to dismiss this dialog box.

ii. Command is to moves from one support toanother support of the MTO file and view them in list box (O).

iii. Command Mark Chkd is to mark the support as checked. The word Checked is written in column N of MTO file against thecomponents of selected support. Before final issue, you need todelete this column N .
