Introduction

Generalities

When creating 3D piping design user can be assisted/driven by information coming from Schematic done in 3DEXPerinece CATIA

there is 2 levels of working with 2D schematics

1- working only with the PipingLineID that are objects stored into the Logical Layer of CATIA (like the Schematic)

2- working with Schematic driven mode

same as above, plus :
been able to see 2D - 3D object link status
create links between object
assist 3D designer by selecting Schematic object to prefilter 3D possible correspondin piping part references
check object and network consistency

To be able to have the application been able to work correctly in 2D-3D schematic mode there are few element that needs to be set correctly

ensure that the 2D object and corresponding 3D object are sharing same naming convention for the Port
- names
- flow direction
ensure that the piping specification contains the Logical to Physical subtype mapping table and tha tthis table is correcly defined
ensure that the Reference-Reference Implement link are well defined between the 2D Schematic and the 3D product structures

Schematic driven mode is available through FLG, PIH, OU3SM, PLLAE, BCFLC role but NOT in BCMEC role
