    02-03.e: Troubleshooting - Import AutoPlant / OpenPLANT PXF file into AutoPIPE

    Notes:

    1. Any troubleshooting should start with a complete understanding of the limitations imposed upon the imported model.

    Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:
    Help > Contents> Search Tab> enter "Limitations (PXF import)" (include the quotes), press List Topics button, double click on the selected topic from the list provided to see more information. 

    2.  See the following document: PXF - Project Exchange Format.pdf for details about the PXF file.

    3. Instructions on "How to Create a Stress Analysis PXF" can be found in AutoPlant's / OpenPLANT's online help, search for " Stress Analysis PXF". 

    4. FYI, OpenPlant exports to PXF uses AutoPLANT's class names. In addition, at the top of the PXF file on line numbers 1028 and 1029 indicates the program and version that created the PXF file. 

    Item #0: *.MSG reported errors that occur when importing PXF files

    Item #1: Import PXF file

    Item #2: When importing PXF file, Servere (59) Fortran Error appears

    Item #3: Imported piping was found to be very large compared to original pipe size

    Item #4: No piping with less than 1.400 inches (35.56 mm) was imported

    Item #5: AutoPLANT Duct work components crashes AutoPIPE

    Item #6: Mapping AutoPLANT component to an AutoPIPE component

    Item #7: Anchors added to random points in imported file

    Item #8: Problems with importing Tap (branch) connections

    Item #9: Link AutoPLANT model database

    Item #10: Imported PXF file are blank

    Item #11: Fix disconnected flanges on elbow

    Item #12: Exporting Non-Standard Pipe Diameters and Thicknesses from AutoPLANT

    Item #13: Export a PXF from OpenPLANT Modeler / AutoPLANT?

    Item #14: Specify a particular material when importing an file

    Item #15: Misssing part of pipeline

    Item #16: AutoPlant / OpenPLANT PXF file, supports are missing

    Item #17: Base supported elbow missing from imported file

    Item #18: Export a support directly

    Item #19: Global coordinates from OpenPLANT do not get carried over

    Item #20: *** WARNING: Error reading line P/T data. not enough pressure/Temp data provided
