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. Designers
can route pipe in the 3D model as a centerline representation; moreover, a 3D shaded
model can be displayed when necessary. The centerline is intelligent and contains all the
information 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 or
transferred from the P&ID. This can be done as the pipe is routed, or it can be added or
revised later. A pipeline can be connected to a specific nozzle or routed from a point in
space. 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 sequence
number, nominal diameter, material class, temperatures and pressures---can be set during
routing.
Interactive design checks are performed for each component placement. These checks
ensure matching or compatible diameters, pressure ratings, end preparations, and other
consistency criteria. Pipe supports can be modeled giving either a detailed space
envelope 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 modify
the reference data for the PDS 3D modules. This reference data ensures consistency in
the definition of piping specifications and commodity libraries. It is used to control and
standardize 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 of
components).
The Revision commands enable you to move, delete, and rotate existing piping. You can
revise individual components, piping segments, or all of the elements on a pipeline or
defined by a group operation.
These commands enable you to review or revise the model data stored in the Design
Database and Project Control Database. The data associated with each model is
collectively referred to as the Task Database. The Task Database is a working copy of
the 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 in
the model, the system creates a row in the appropriate database table.
The Review, Revise and Analyze commands enable you to review or revise the model
data stored in the Design Database and Project Control Database. The data associated
with each model is collectively referred to as the Task Database. The Task Database is a
working copy of the design data for a project, which corresponds to a design volume
within the plant.

2.1 Placement Commands

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

These commands enable you to place pipe, piping components, pipe supports, and
instrument 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.

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 one
component at a time and control the characteristics for the specified component (such as
end preparation and rating). You can place connecting components one after another, for
fitting-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 industry
standard specified in the Project Data Manager. You can specify the geometric industry
standard 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 a
component in the P&ID. The system determines the commodity item name or
component number when reading from the Reference Database. No other component
data is read from the P&ID database.
The system checks the piping job specification to make sure the active parameters match
a component in the spec. If the component is found the system displays the item name
and new item name of the selected component. For example,

Commodity: 6Q1C01 - GAT
If the component is not found the system displays the message Commodity Item Not in
Spec and activates the Piping Commodity Error Data form.
Equivalent NPD Allows you to connect metric piping with English piping. It
reads the Nominal Piping Diameter table from the Piping J ob Specification Tables and
retrieves the equivalent value for the active nominal piping diameter, if provided. If
there is an equivalent value for the active nominal piping diameter, the equivalent value
becomes the active nominal piping diameter and the current nominal piping diameter
units are changed to the equivalent nominal piping diameter units. The active first size
and second size are updated automatically to the active nominal piping diameter.

Sketch Activates the Sketch form which allows you to define the
centerline 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 place
fire 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 or
component 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 either
of the size fields to modify the displayed value. Key in the desired diameter in NPD

units (inches or millimeters). The system validates the NPD for the current piping
materials 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 class
range, the message Not Valid for pmc_name is displayed. The second size applies to the
reduced end of a component; therefore, second size is always smaller or equal to the
First 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 actual
connect 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 diameter
is 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 the
component 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 the
design 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 this
field to toggle the field among the following settings:

Valve Operator Display from RDB Uses the value of the modifier attribute in the
PJ S to determine the valve operator display (ON or OFF). The modifier is expressed as
a code list number from CL550 (operator/actuator type). If the value is a positive
number (such as 3) the operator is placed with the valve. If the value is a negative
number (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 active
commodity item. Additional lines on the right side of the form define the Placement
mode and Connectivity.

Active Data Is the right side of the message area that contains a summary of
the 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 First
Size, and the Second Size, independently of the active segment parameters.

You can select Data from P&ID to use data defined in the P&ID Task to define the
active parameters.

distance and direction from the active segment point.

Intersect To Branch Sketches a segment pipe run from the active segment point to a
point of intersection with a specified segment pipe run.

Skewed Intersect Sketches one or more segment pipe runs to connect the active
segment point to the end point of an existing segment.

Intersect Sloped Pipe Run Intersects the piping segment being created or extended
with an arbitrarily skewed pipe run of an existing piping segment that is sloped in the
vertical plane. The intersection with this sloped piping segment will be in the vertical
plane at a specified angle.

Intersect By Angles Sketches a segment pipe run from the active segment point to a
point of intersection with another segment using a user-define angle.
Intersect Plane Sketches a segment pipe run from the active segment point to a
planar element in the design file or a reference file.

Tap Component
Adds a tap to an existing component. This command activates the Place Pipe Support
form, which is used to place physical pipe supports in the active model file. All the pipe
supports that can be placed are represented on this form.
The system determines the Physical Data Library to be used as the source of the pipe
support's dimension tables on the basis of the geometric industry standard from the
piping in the Material Reference Database that is being used to compute the piping
outside diameter for the pipe support being placed.
Sub-Commands:

Graphic Physical Supports The first and second rows of options defines the physical
representation of the support.

Functional Physical Supports The third row of symbols represents the functional type
of pipe support: Anchor, 1-Way Support, 2-Way Support, Spring Support, and Damping
Support.

Both By selecting from both rows you can place both a functional
representation and a physical representation for the support. The exact physical
representation varies by column.

2.2 Revise Component

Commands Revises/appends different positional and/or task database information on
PDS piping components. Any rotation, addition, or reconstruction of PDS piping
components must be done through these commands and not through MicroStation
manipulations 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 option
code).

This command reports any Design Checks errors at any end of the component being
reconstructed, when applicable. For example, if a valve with 150#bolted ends is
reconstructed 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, after
the reconstruction of the valve has been completed.
Design Checks is performed on the following data for each connect point of the
component that is being reconstructed, where a mating component is found.
nominal piping diameter required
pressure rating (and table suffix) required
end preparation required
schedule/thickness optional
outside piping diameter optional
The system display a warning message when moving the adjacent piping as a result of
reconstructing a single component results in a gap or an overlap in the model. The 'data
integrity' option of the Diagnostics command can be used to locate the gaps and/or
overlaps.

Revises some or all of the data associated with a tap, including the orientation. It can
also be used to delete a tap.

Move Pipe Support
Moves a pipe support to a new location on a piping segment.

2.3 Revise Segment Commands

Revises piping segments in the active model. The commands perform both graphical
and task database revisions. You cannot use MicroStation commands to change piping
segments, as they will not update the user data associated with the piping segment.


Commands :

Move Vertex
Moves an identified segment vertex to a new location. You can move the vertex to any
location by keying in delta distances, absolute distances, or a distance and direction, or
by relocating an end point connected to a nozzle to the current nozzle location.

Insert Vertex

5.0 P&ID TO PDS-3D Piping Data Transfer
FIG. A

The P&ID data can be transferred to the piping model using several commands:
Sketch
Place Component
Revise Attributes
Attribute 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 the
P&ID. You must already have defined the tag numbers in the Specialty and Instrument
Spec Database.
You can snap to an off-page connector to window in on the connected drawing and
highlight the segments with the correct line ID.

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 Design
Data Management module.
The P&ID Comparison Review command uses a binary version of the Segment Data
report to interactively review discrepancies and update segment data in the piping model
during a piping design session. You must first create a Segment Data report for this
command to work successfully.
You can generate a Named Component Existence report from the P&ID Comparison
Report Manager form, which checks for consistency in the existence of named
components, specialties and instruments by their tag numbers. This report is created
using the P&ID Comparison Report Manager on the Design Data Management form.
You can edit any attribute including the ones being downloaded. The downloaded
attributes are color coded to allow you to see the transfer values more easily. On a
complete transfer, the transferred attribute values are yellow, and other attributes are
black. On a partial transfer, the transferred attributes are blue, any default attributes are
red, 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 Ac
Name from P&ID
tive Data from P&ID MDB.

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


2. On clicking, the following form appears :

Unit No. & Unit Code from
P&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. The
system uses the Unit Number (defined in the Active Segment Data) and the P&ID
Master 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 a
specified Equipment/Nozzle Id.
Graphical P&ID Data Setup :
Updates the active segment data by snapping to graphics in the active P&I drawing. The
P&ID Database is referenced using the P&ID project number. A single table is read
from this database using the unit number and the attribute linkage from the segment in
the P&I drawing. Refer to P&ID Graphical Data Transfer Setup , for more information
on this option.
If you identify a component in the P&I drawing that is associated with more than one
segment, such as a reducer, the active segment data is derived from the segment that is
associated with the connect point nearest the data point.
The order of the P&ID node numbers, as specified, determines the assignment of flow
direction in the piping model. By convention, P&ID node number A is at the Active
Placement Point. As a part of the data transfer process, the P&ID node numbers are
stored in the piping model for subsequent use and to retain the associativity between the

segment in the P&ID Database and the segment(s) in the piping model. Likewise, the
unique index into the P&ID Segment Table is stored in the piping model in order to
enable the later comparison and update of P&ID node numbers from the P&ID Database
into the piping model. It is possible that the P&ID node numbers may be changed by the
P&ID propagation process for a specific segment in the P&ID Database as a result of
changes 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 Reference
Database.
The nominal piping diameter from the P&ID Database is invalid for the piping materials
class from the P&ID Database on the basis of the Nominal Piping Diameter Table in the
Piping Specification Table Library.
The active nominal piping diameter is invalid for the piping materials class from the
P&ID Database on the basis of the Nominal Piping Diameter Table in the Piping
Specification 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 the
P&ID Database on the basis of the Fluid Code Table in the Piping Specification Table
Library 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 the
defined Unit Number to locate the P&ID database information. Input the relevant values
and accept the form. Select Graphical P&ID Data Setup option.

This data has to be inputted in form displayed above.


3. On clicking Load from Graphical P&ID Data Setup, the following form appears :
All those P&IDs which have been Propagated & Posted for that particular unit
number & unit code will be listed in the this form as shown below.

P&IDs Drawings (Propagated & Posted)
get listed here.
View no. where the P&ID
should be displayed in
3D-environment.

4. Select the required P&ID and select the view no. on which the P&ID has to be
displayed. Accept the form. The P&ID will be displayed in the selected view. A typical
example is shown in fig.A above.

5. As prompted, snap onto the line of which the data has to be transferred into 3D
environment. Select Partial / Complete data transfer option whichever as reqd. The
message Reading from P&ID Database appears on the form. Accept the form for the
pipeline attributes to be transferred to 3D-environment. The active attributes in the
PLACE form are now those attributes transferred from 2D-environment.

6. Name from P&ID is used in Component Data Transfer. Click, the Name From P&ID
option. Select the piping component from P&ID ( like gate-valve etc.) & Accept. The
relevant AABBCC code gets automatically activated in PLACE command and the
component gets placed.

In this section , we have seen how P&ID TO PDS-3D Piping Data Transfer can be
carried out. One can select and view an active P&I drawing while working in a piping
model. This enables the graphical transfer of piping segment data by snapping to
graphics in the active P&I drawing. You can also specify a component name for
placement by selecting a component in the P&I drawing.
One can use the following options to select the active P&I drawing to be displayed.
Only one P&I drawing can be active for the purposes of data transfer.

One can select a drawing from a list of P&I drawings extracted from the Project Control
Database. 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 are
listed in alphanumeric order by drawing number.
Since the P&ID Database is unit dependent and the Piping Design Database is design
area 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 to
requesting 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 accepting
the active line id. The system determines the P&I drawing (or list of drawings) from the
line id. It searches the Segment Table of the P&ID Database using the system unique
number 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 component
connected 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 the
P&I drawing from the equipment number and nozzle number and data in the P&ID
Database. All P&ID segments that have the same line ID as the segment connected to
the 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 are
highlighted on this form; selecting a category will toggle its setting.
There are multiple levels associated with most P&ID categories, so turning a category
off 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 the
corresponding drawing border are attached as reference files. If the system does not find
a border, the drawing is attached without the border. A selected screen view is used to
display the P&I drawing. The system stores this view number in the Type 63 data for
the piping model.
