How can I tell what AutoPLANT component in a PXF file is mapped too in an AutoPIPE model?
See the following procedure:
1. Open the AutoPLANT PXF file in any text editor (i.e. NotePAD, Ultra EDIT, MS WORD, etc..)
2. Search PXF file for 2000 or 2100, should be first item on a line. example:
2100 AT_PIPE
2100 AT_VALVE_BALL
2100 AT_SUPPORT_BASE
etc..
3. Open AutoPIPE CADAP.MAP file in any text editor (i.e. NotePAD, Ultra EDIT, MS WORD, etc..)
4. Search CADAP.MAP, CLASS MAPPING TABLE for item name listed after 2000 or 2100 (ex: AT_PIPE, AT_VALVE_BALL, etc.. ).
'AT_PIPE ' 0 'PIPE ' // Base components
5. Scroll in the file to the top of the listing to see the section details:
Example:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CLASS MAPPING TABLE (MAX. 2000)// COLUMN 1 : AUTOPLANT'97 COMPONENT CLASS SPECIFIED IN CODE 2100// COLUMN 2 : ITEM TYPE AS USED IN AUTOPIPE. MUST BE MAPPED TO ONE// OF THE DESIGNER COMPONENT TYPE (CODE 2000).// COLUMN 3 : MENU REFERENCE KEY USED BY DESIGNER (CODE 2001)//// USRCLASS.MAP COMPLEMENTS THIS TABLE//// NOTE: AUTOPIPE SUPPORTS BOTH THE NEW (AUTOPLANT'97-CODE 2100) AND// OLD (DESIGNER-CODE 2000) FORMATS. AUTOPLANT'97 COMPONENTS// (CODE 2100) ARE MAPPED TO EQUIVALENT DESIGNER COMPONENTS// (CODE 2000 AND CODE 2001)//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Based on this information,Column #2 identifies exactly what component the item is mapped too (ex. 0)
6. Scroll down to COMPONENT MAPPING TABLE, refer to column information and then search column # 1 for item number in above step (ex. 0) note in column #2, AutoPIPE component (ex. PIPE).
Ex: 00 'PIPE' : PIPE OR PIPE BEND, IF RADIUS GIVEN ==> ELBO
7. Conclusion: AutoPLANT PXF AT_PIPE is mapped to a PIPE component in AutoPIPE.
a. In a PXF file search for 2000 or 2100 shows the following: 2100 AT_PIPE.
b. Search the CADAP.MAP file for AT_PIPE find the following: 'AT_PIPE ' 0 'PIPE '
c. Scrolling to the top of this section to understand column details, as noted see column # 2 = 0
d. Scroll down to COMPONENT MAPPING TABLE, find 0 in table, see colume #2 for AutoPIPE component, PIPE.
e. PXF AT_PIPE is mapped to a PIPE component in AutoPIPE.
