How to map PCF component to an AutoPIPE component?
Essentially same process as mentioned above for mapping materials, only difference being about components.
Open the MAP file selected on the PCF translator dialog in any text editor (ex. Notepad ++, Ultra Edit, etc..). The first table in the file is a List of PCF components and mappings. Make modifications as needed to this table while maintaining column alignment.
Example: Map a PCF INST component to AutoPIPE VALVE component.
a. On line 44 of the current PCFin.map file (image above), note that an PCF INST component is currently mapped to an AutoPIPE INSTRUMENT component or rigid pipe, shown below:
b. Remap to AutoPIPE VALVE component. In 2nd column change INSTRUMENT to VALVE (note: must be all caps).
c. Save file and close.
d. Restart PCF translator and process a PCF file to see the affect
Is my piping code, material, and component supported in AutoPIPE's PCF translator?
