What's New in Equipment and Furnishings Reference

Data
The following changes have been made to the Equipment and Furnishings reference data.
Version 2016 (11.0)
 No changes were made for this release.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 5

SECTION 1

Equipment and Furnishings Reference

Data
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 Smart 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. Each workbook is delivered locally in the workstation setup to the specified location:
 Equipment.xls - Delivered to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles folder.
 EquipmentComponent.xls - Delivered to the [Product
Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles folder.
 Equipment_SE.xls - Delivered to the [Product
Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\AdditionalDataFiles folder.
 ElectricalEquipment.xls - Delivered to the [Product
Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\SampleDataFiles folder.
 DoorsEquipment.xls - Delivered to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\BulkLoad\DataFiles
folder.

 The Place Nozzle command uses reference data defined in the StandardNozzleData.xls
spreadsheet. See the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide for more information.
 The Place Shape command uses reference data defined in the Shapes.xls spreadsheet.
See the Smart 3D Symbols Reference Data Guide for more information.
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, certain 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 6

 Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data

Naming Rules
The software provides a number of options for naming objects that you create in the Equipment
& Furnishings task. You can select DefaultNameRule, UniqueNameRule, System Parent
Name Rule or User Defined. For more information on creating naming rules, see the Smart 3D
Reference Data Guide.

DefaultNameRule
Use this option to let the software name the part. The name consists of the part number of the
equipment and a unique number. The part number is defined on the part class worksheet in
Equipment.xls.

UniqueNameRule or System Parent Name Rule

Use either option to create a name of the following format: Equipment System-
EquipmentSystem-1-0001-GenericAidesAsm-1-0001, such as Plant-ElectricalLight01-E-1-0001.
This naming convention increments by one each time that you name a piece of equipment or
furnishings.

User Defined
Allows you to define a custom name for the equipment. After selecting this naming rule, type the
name for the equipment in the Name box.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 7

SECTION 2

Equipment Parts
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 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.

Common Properties
Below is a listing of the common properties that you see on a part sheet. The common
properties are listed in the order that they appear, from left to right, on the part sheet.
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.
Name
Type 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.
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.
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.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 8

 Equipment Parts

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.
DryWeight
Type the empty weight of the part. Be sure to specify the units when typing this value.
WaterWeight
Type the water weight of the equipment part. Be sure to specify the units when typing this
value.
For equipment, the Weight and CG property Wet Weight is the sum of
DryWeight and WaterWeight. The dry weight and water weight values are catalog
properties typed on the part sheet for the equipment.
DryCOGX
Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the x-axis when the part is
empty.
DryCOGY
Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the y-axis when the part is
empty.
DryCOGZ
Type the center-of-gravity location for the equipment part along the z-axis 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.
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.
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.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 9

 Equipment Parts

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.
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.

GenericAides Sheet
The GenericAidesAsm sheet in the Equipment.xls workbook defines the generic equipment
objects in your catalog. Generic equipment objects can include such things as a truck, a trailer,
or even a person.
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

3. On the Index sheet, click the link to the sheet to which to add an equipment part. For
example, to add a pump, click the link to the Pump sheet.
To add a new equipment part class, you must add a new sheet to the workbook and
specify the class location in the Catalog hierarchy. For example, to add a distillation column
class, add a sheet named DistillationColumns. For more information on common sheets,
see Adding Part Classes to the Catalog: An Overview in the Smart 3D Reference Data
Guide accessible from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.
4. Insert a new row in the Head/Start/End section.
5. Specify the properties for the equipment part that you are adding.
6. In column A of the new row, type the letter A to indicate the Bulkload utility to which you are
adding a new object.
7. Bulkload the workbook in the Add/Modify/Delete mode.
For more information on bulkloading data, see Loading Reference Data into the
Catalog in the Smart 3D Reference Data Guide.

 The PartNumber must be unique for all parts in the catalog.

 Look on the Custom Interfaces sheet to find more information about part properties, such
as type and units.

User-defined Forms
User-defined forms are powerful custom forms that contain illustrations of objects. For example,
user-defined forms can contain illustrations of equipment or an equipment component, as well
as their properties. These custom forms are applicable to Add Part and Place Support
commands in Hangers and Supports and to the Place Equipment command in the Equipment
and Furnishings task. In addition, after you define the form, you can view it in the modeling
window, and as you make changes, you can see the result on the screen. You can create user-
defined forms in Microsoft® Visual Studio or by using the form definition wizard.
As you modify the values in the form, changes made to the attributes on the form automatically
update the corresponding attribute in the Property pages.
The advantage of creating and using this form is that the picture of the object and its properties
appear in the same form. If necessary, you can also create multiple or nested forms that hold
similar properties that can be called from the main form.
An example of a completed form is shown in the graphic below.

Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Guide 19

 User-defined Forms

After Defining the Form

 Place the form's .dll file in the $Symbols\bin folder.
 For example, key in <<AssemblyName,NameSpaceName.ClassName>> to the
FormDefinition column of Equipment part in the Catalog task.

Opening the User-defined Form

The Custom Form Definition command automatically displays when you place the object
for which a form definition exists. After placing the object, click Custom Form Definition to
open the form. It is enabled only if a proper form definition is defined for that particular object.
For the remaining objects, it is disabled.

 Save your first project as a template for all other user-defined forms. You can make changes
on this project for other symbols instead of creating the form from scratch each time.
 Properties such as Name, Weight and CG, Surface Treatment, and so forth, are common for
most of the symbols. Therefore, these properties need not be modified each time.
 You can make minor changes on the form for similar symbols. For example, in Equipment
and Furnishings task, the delivered pumps Horiz Centrifugal Pump With Flush and Drain
Nozzles and Horiz Centrifugal Pump With StructureSteel or Polyshield Base are similar
equipment but have different symbols. They may have common properties like
MotorLength, CouplingLength, and so forth. Therefore, the same form can be used for
both.
 If there is some similarity between equipment, for example, Complex Horizontal
Cylindrical Vessel and Storage Tank, you can keep the common properties like Vessel
Diameter and Vessel Length, and modify, add, and remove the remaining properties,
including the background of the form.
 You can modify the form by changing the interface name and the property name on the
Properties window of the user control in .NET.

Create Multiple or Nested Forms

When you do not have enough space to accommodate all of the properties on a single form, you
can create a nested form; that is, a form that contains a similar set of properties and that can be
used with other forms. For example, Insulation properties can be placed in a nested form, and
you can invoke that form with a button click on the main form.
