(23) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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..

(24) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 nongraphic 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..

(25) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 parameters.. Uses data defined in the P&ID Task to define the active. 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,.

(26) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 Job 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 biopharmaceutical 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.

(27) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 PJS 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..

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..

(29) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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.

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

(31) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 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..

(45) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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 Active Data from P&ID MDB. Name from P&ID. This option enables you to update the active segment data based on information defined in the P&ID Task..

(46) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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.

(47) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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..

(48) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 3. On clicking “Load from Graphical P&ID Data Setup”, the following form appears : All those P&ID’s which have been Propagated & Posted for that particular unit number & unit code will be listed in the this form as shown below.. P&ID’s 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..

(49) PDS-Piping Designer Training Guide. 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..
