P&ID - Predefined PartNumber

Introduction

You can specify on the Logical object which Part number must be used/installed in 3D to realize the component. this attribut is called Predefined Part Number.

This information will be used during the 2D to 3D process to assist the 3D designer according the choise/requierements done by the System engineer

Definition for Piping part and pipe objects

description

For the schematic Piping Part object, the selection of this PartNumber is driven by the Piping Specification (which is common to schematic and 3D design app). in this case system will propose discrete list of possible Part Numbers 

To make it working , the piping specification must contain 

  • a table which define the mapping between the values of 2D piping component Part Subtype (Logical PartSubtype) attribute and 3D Piping Part Subtype (Physical PartSubtype) attribute.
  • Part filters that define the list of 3D Part that are applicable in the context of this Piping material specification.
    • this request to have the 3D Piping Part library done into the 3DEXP database

videos 

following video is illustrating how to have access to predefined partnumber list from Piping specification for Pipe

video illustration the usage for valves. note that in this exemple the value of Physical PartSubtype or Physical Part Number attribut can be used to drive the éd Component symbol


Definition for Equipment

description

before 24x, it was only posssible to valuate this attribute manually.

Now with the introduction of Equipment specification, the mecanism is similar to the one explain above for piping

The only difference is that we will have a unique equipment material specification whereas for piping line we can have different one  depending on the LineIDs
