Add New Column

To add attributes of referenced objects, use a dot notation. For example, to see the specification of a branch connected to a nozzle, use CREF.PSPE. You can chain together several reference attributes, e.g. OWNER.DIAREF[2].NAME. To add a single element of an array attribute, use square brackets. For example, multiple pipes can be linked to a single schematic pipeline, so to see just the first of these, use DESLNK[1] . To see the whole array, use the attribute without any array index, e.g. DESLNK . The table can apply simple calculations to numerical attributes using the operators * / + - for the operations multiply, divide, add and subtract, e.g. NUMBER * 4. You can use parentheses ( ) to nest the expression, e.g. (LENGTH + 3.5) * BORE . Array elements and references cannot be used in mathematical expressions. To delete one or more columns in the Table Column Setup form, select the columns to be deleted and click on the Delete Selected Columns button. How to Lis t Schematic Objects Released but no t Link ed

The release to 3D status for a schematic object can be displayed in the Main Table using the attribute RESTAT. The compare status can be displayed using the attribute CMPSTS. To filter the Main Table on schematic objects that have been released but have n ot been linked, filter on RESTAT equal to 1 and CMPSTS equal to 'Not linked'. For more details of schematic to 3D links refer to Schematic to 3D Links .

Equipment Connections Form

The Equipment Connections form lists the nozzles and electrical connection on the schematic equipment, and the 3D equipment. The Link columns show which connections are linked between the schematic and 3D model. The form lists piping and HVAC nozzles and electrical connections. It also lists connections that are direct to the equipment objects using the ECRFA and ELCXRF reference array attributes. To change the specification reference of a nozzle, select the nozzle in the 3D Equipment list, then click on the Modify Specification button. This will show either the Pipework Nozzle Specification form or the HVAC Nozzle form, as appropriate. You can also create new nozzles or electrical connections and delete existing ones using the buttons on this form. After making any changes, use the Refresh Li sts button to update the form. To change which 3D connection is linked to a particular schematic connection, select the schematic connection in the Schematic Equipment list, select the 3D connection in the 3D Equipment list, then select the Set Link button. The selected connections will be linked. If the schematic connection is already linked to another 3D connection, the following will occur: •

The link will be removed from that connection and set on the selected connection.

•

That connection will be unnamed and the name will be set on the selected connection.

•

If that connection was auto-built in the last Build action during this session, it will be deleted.

Pi ck Co nn ec ti on s The Pick Connections option will be available on a schematic pipeline that is linked to a 3D pipe, and has one or more schematic branches connected directly to a schematic equipment (i.e. not via a schematic nozzle). It is also available on a 3D pipe that is linked to a schematic pipeline that meets this criterion and similarly for HVAClines and 3D HVACs. For the 3D connection between branch and equipment, a nozzle must be selected, but the Integrator cannot determine which nozzle, since there is no schematic nozzle to link with. The Pick Connections option enables the user to select or create a nozzle accordingly. Select Main Table Context Menu > Pick Connecti ons .

The Pick Connection form lists the 3D branches that have unresolved connections. When a branch is selected in the Unresolved Branches list, Integrator does the following: •

It determines the schematic branch for the selected 3D branch

•

It finds which schematic equipment the schematic branch is connected to

•

It finds their linked 3D equipment.

•

It populates the Connections list with their nozzles.

The Connection columns show which branches are connected to which nozzles. To change the specification reference of a nozzle, select the nozzle in theConnections list, then click on the Modify Specification button. This will show either the Pipework Nozzle Specification form or the HVAC Nozzle form, as appropriate. You can also create new nozzles and delete existing ones using the buttons on this form. After making any changes, use the Refresh Lists button to update the form. To change which unresolved branch is connected to which nozzle, select the branch in the Unresolved Branches list, select the nozzle in the Connections list, then select the Set Connection button. The selected branch will be connected to the selected nozzle.

Integrator Functions in Detail This chapter describes the engineering functions supported by the Integrator. It starts by explaining the concepts embodied in the main tasks, and then details the data structures that underpin all of the Integrator's functionality. It explains how to build 3D model objects based on schematic objects data, describes what happens when the Integrator creates objects in the 3D model and illustrates how rules are used to determine exactly what data is set. It explains how to compare 3D model data against schematic data, describes how the Integrator compares data and how rules are applied to verify alignment or report discrepancies. It explains how to link 3D model data to schematic data, how to unlink if necessary, and illustrates when these functions might be used during a project.

5.1

Concepts Integrator provides three main functions that can be applied to data:

5.1.1

•

Build

•

Link

•

Compare

Build Integrator can create 3D data directly from the schematic data, enabling equipment, pipeline, HVAC and cable objects to be built automatically in 3D, populated with data from the schematic model. This means for example that an equipment list and line list can be propagated to the 3D model along with all their key process data, tags and interconnections. Thus when schematic data is available, Integrator can provide an initial population of corresponding objects in the 3D model. As updates occur in the schematic data, these can be applied to the 3D data in a controlled process. Each project can control precisely which data is transferred from schematic to 3D, what types of object are created, and which attributes are set, using easily configured rules. When Integrator builds an object in the 3D model, that object is automatically linked with its corresponding schematic object.

5:1

12.0


5.1.2

Link and Unlink When 3D model data already exists, e.g. when a preliminary model has been created in parallel with diagram production, Integrator can link those existing objects with corresponding schematic objects. Integrator can also remove the link from selected objects.

5.1.3

Compare Integrator uses configuration rules to compare schematic and 3D objects, to verify if they are aligned or to report any discrepancies. The comparison covers connectivity, component sequence, and attributes data. Connections within the 3D model should be consistent with connections within the schematic model. This includes connection onto equipment - nozzles and electrical connections, and connections within pipework or HVAC - head and tail references, connection references and connection reference arrays. Component sequence should be logically consistent between the schematic and 3D model. Integrator will report when components such as instruments, valves, tees and reducers, are missing or are in a different order. Integrator will also report any missing or mismatched attribute data, using the configuration rules to identify which attributes it should check and how they should be compared. For example, a name may be composed from schematic attributes such as prefix, suffix and function, and bore and specification reference must match. Comparison Categories provide a level of control over which categories of difference are reported against which types of objects. For example, you may choose to focus on unmatched objects and differences in specification attributes, and to ignore other attribute differences. Integrator can use the results of a comparison to automatically link schematic and 3D objects that it has found to match. It can also automatically update attributes from schematic to 3D where it finds a difference in the data for matching or linked objects.

5.1.4

Sc hem at ic Data Ty pes The schematic database provides a hierarchy of object types as illustrated below. Each schematic object, e.g. equipment, pipelines, HVAClines and cables, has a reference to one or more diagrams. Integrator uses this data to determine which diagrams each object may be viewed on.

5:2

12.0


Figure 5:1.

5.1.5

Schematic Database

Sch emat ic t o 3D Li nk s Integrator maintains its links as separate CYMLNK objects against which it can hold important information. Each CYMLNK object has attributes deslnk referencing the 3D model object, and schlnk referencing the schematic object. The CYMLNK object also holds a cmpstatus attribute to record its compare state. The 3D model and the schematic objects both have a cmplnk attribute referencing the CYMLNK object. The CYMLNK objects are nested to reflect the hierarchy of corresponding objects, e.g. schematic equipment owning schematic nozzles. They are grouped in CYMGRP objects and exist in a single parent CYMWRL object.

Figure 5:2.

Link Schema

Pseudo Attributes

To simplify navigation between corresponding schematic and 3D objects, Integrator provides the pseudo attributes schlnk and deslnk directly between these two objects. The pseudo attribute cmpsts returns the compare status description on the CYMLNK object or

5:3

12.0


on any linked schematic or design object, or on its linked a ncestor. It is included by default in the Integrator Main Table.

Figure 5:3.

Link Pseudo Attributes

Cardinality

For most objects, zero or one schematic objects can be linked to zero or one 3D objects. The exceptions are schematic pipelines which can link to zero, one or many pipes, and schematic HVAC lines which can link to zero, one or many HVACs.

5.1.6

L in k Database A cc es s All Integrator users require write access to the CYMWRL . Project administrators should ensure there is a single CYMWRL named Integration_Links in its own database for a project. For a global project, there should be a single CYMWRL named Integration_Links in its own database as primary at each location where Integrator will be used. Integrator users do not require write access to schematic databases.

5.1.7

Rel eas e t o 3D Stat us Schematic objects have a Releaseto3dstatus attribute which should be set in the diagram authoring system. For example, AVEVA Diagrams provides a dialogue to set this attribute. If the AVEVA Diagrams user then tries to modify a released object, they are prompted to confirm they do want to change it. If they do change it, the release status is unset P&ID Manager provides options to manage th e release status of imported schematic data. The syntax for the Releaseto3dstatus attribute in the Main Table column setup is RESTAT. When set it has the value 1. It can be set from the command line with RESTAT 1. Integrator does not allow schematic objects to be built or linked unless they have been released to 3D.

5.1.8

Duplicate Names for Tagged Objects The same name may be used for an object in a schematic database and an object in a design database. For example, a schematic equipment can have the same name as its equivalent 3D equipment. The default configuration rules for Integrator use duplicate names for equipment, sub-equipment, nozzles, electrical connections, instruments, valves and cables.

5.1.9

Matching Objects using Key Attributes Integrator can use a combination of several attribute values to identify matching 3D objects for a source schematic object. For example, several pipes may be matched to a single schematic pipeline according to their values for line number, bore, pipe specification and duty. Any attributes may be identified as key attributes for a particular type in the

5:4

12.0


configuration rules. Objects that have all their values for their key attributes matching the values generated by the rules will be shown as matching in the compare report. When key attribute matching is used for a particular type, e.g. pipes, objects of that type will not be included in the report if they do not match on all of their key attributes.

5.1.10

Comparing Sub-Equipment and Nozzles Integrator will report unmatched 3D SUBEs for information and not as errors, on the basis that there are likely to be more sub-equipment in 3D than on a diagram as there will be more detail. However, unmatched SCSUBEs will be reported as errors. Integrator will match nozzles at different levels in the hierarchy, for example a NOZZ in a TMPL below a SUBE may be matched to an SCNOZZ directly below an SCEQUI. This allows nozzles in 3D to be grouped on SUBEs even though there is no parallel schematic hierarchy.

5.1.11

Comparing other Components Components that are not treated as significant to a comparison, such as elbows and flanges, are not reported with a green tick if they are ok, but are shown for information if the significant elements filter is switched off. They are compared against the appropriate SCTUB for their size and specification and will be reported with a red icon if an error is found (even if the significant elements filter is switched on).

5.2

Ho w In teg rato r Bu il ds 3D Data In the Main Table or Diagram Viewer select the objects you want to build, then select Context Menu > Buil d . You can also select Build in the Integrator Main Bar Menu . These options are described in the Main Table Context Menu in Integrator Controls. You can also initiate Build from the Command Line. This process is described in How to use Integrator from the Command Line . When the Integrator builds in 3D it carries out a set of actions under the control of the Configuration Rules. The rules are described in detail in How to Configure Build Rules . Note: Integrator can build in the current SITE and ZONE if there is no rule to define the SITE or ZONE. In order to get Integrator to build in the current ZONE, use the Main Table Context Menu > Build . If you click in the Diagram Viewer to use its context menu, the current element will be changed to the schematic object, and Integrator will no longer be able to build in your intended ZONE.

5.2.1

Bui ldi ng Equipment When the Integrator builds equipment in 3D the following actions are carried out. •

The names of an appropriate SITE and ZONE are determined from the rules. The SITE and ZONE are created if they do not already exist. If there is no rule to define the SITE or ZONE, Integrator will use the current element, its owner, or the first SITE and ZONE after the current element.

•

EQUIpment is created in the appropriate ZONE and named in accordance with the rules. The name in 3D can be a duplicate of the name on the diagram. Alternatively, a rule may be used to construct a name from attributes such as DISTAG (display tag).

•

SUBEquipments are created for each schematic subequipment.

5:5

12.0


•

NOZZles are created for each schematic nozzle (see below how Integrator deals with nozzles already defined in an equipment template).

•

ELCONNs will be created for each schematic electrical connection.

•

If a specification reference has been set on the schematic equipment it will be copied to the EQUIpment and the equipment template will be instantiated so that it has a population of primitives. The user has an opportunity to modify the equipment specification later in the build process.

•

If the schematic equipment does not have a specification reference but it does have a description, Integrator will collect all the SPCOms and TABITEms from the equipment specifications and selection tables, and look for a match against the descriptions of their owners. If there is a single match this will be set as the specification reference on the 3D equipment.

•

If a catalogue reference has been set on a schematic nozzle or electrical connection it will be copied to the NOZZle or ELCONN. The user has an opportunity to modify the specification later in the build process.

•

Nozzle and electrical connection references are set in accordance with the schematic connectivity if the connecting objects exist in 3D.

•

If a position has been set on the schematic equipment it will be copied to the EQUIpment. The user has an opportunity to modify the equipment position later in the build process.

•

Attribute values can be set on the EQUIpment, based on attribute values on the schematic equipment, in accordance with the rules.

•

The schematic and 3D objects are linked.

•

Although Integrator always creates a nozzle to link to a schematic nozzle, there may already be a nozzle defined in an equipment template that is appropriate for that schematic nozzle. Integrator will check for nozzles with matching bores within a template. If a match is found, the schematic nozzle will be linked to that particular nozzle within the template, and the auto-built nozzle will be deleted. Any attribute data, including the nozzle name, that were set on the auto-built nozzle in accordance with the rules, will be copied over to the selected nozzle in the template.

•

The user has the opportunity to modify nozzle details. including changing or swapping the links between nozzles and schematic nozzles. If a link is moved from an auto-built nozzle in the same session that the nozzle was built, the auto-built nozzle will be deleted. The user can also modify the specification of the NOZZles.

Some changes to schematic equipment can be propagated to 3D from the Compare Report form. Refer to How Integrator Compares Schematic and 3D Data .

5.2.2

Building Pipework When the Integrator builds pipework in 3D the following actions are carried out. •

The names of an appropriate SITE and ZONE are determined from the rules. The SITE and ZONE are created if they do not already exist.

•

A PIPE is created in the appropriate ZONE and named in accordance with the rules. Typically the name will be generated from a number of schematic pipeline attribute values and can include a sequential number.

•

BRANches are created equivalent to the schematic branches.

•

Piping components are created equivalent to schematic piping instruments, valves and fittings. Rules determine the component type. Components (including valves and instruments) can be named if rules are defined for this.

•

Component specification references are copied from the schematic components where available.

5:6

12.0


•

If a specification reference has not been set on the schematic component, Integrator will try to choose the 3D component from a pipe specification using available data. Integrator will determine the appropriate specification, generic type and bore(s). Other selectors such as STYPE can be set by the rules. If Integrator has insufficient data to make a single choice, it will prompt the user with the selection it is trying to make and display the Choose form for the user to make the choice.

Note: If the Subtype Table is displayed, Integrator will select the component in the subtype table and zoom the diagram to the same component, to help you choose the appropriate component.

•

Connection references are set in accordance with schematic connectivity if the connecting objects exist in 3D. This includes branch head and tail references, nozzle connection references, component connection references and connection reference arrays.

•

Attribute values can be set on the 3D pipes and components, based on attribute values on the schematic pipelines and components, in accordance with the rules.

•


•

The user has the opportunity to resolve connections where the schematic connection is directly to schematic equipment. In 3D the connection must be to a nozzle or electrical connection. When resolving connections the user can select an existing nozzle or electrical connection or create a new connection.

•

Where a number of interconnected schematic pipelines are to be built in 3D, it is recommended to build the main line first, before building offlegs.

Building Missing Components

Integrator can build missing piping components from the Compare Report form. Refer to How Integrator Compares Schematic and 3D Data . Build ing Multipl e Pipes for a Single Schematic Pipeline

Currently it is not possible to automatically build part of a schematic pipeline into a pipe, or to automatically build several pipes from a single schematic pipeline. If a schematic pipeline is to be represented in 3D as multiple pipes, each pipe must be created using the Pipework application, and then linked to the schematic pipeline. Individual components could then be built in 3D from the Compare Report form as described in How Integrator Compares Schematic and 3D Data .

5.2.3

Building HVAC Integrator builds HVAC in 3D using a process that is equivalent to that for creating pipework, but based on schematic HVAC lines, and with its own family of rules. Integrator uses a look-up table of information relating to the standard AVEVA HVAC component specification. This data is read from the file HVACStypeTable.xml which is included in the pdms or marine executables folder. Integrator will look for this file first in the %dflts%\modelmanagement folder and then in the pdmsexe folder. This file can be modified to suit company or project requirements. Integrator can build and compare HVAC data provided that the schematic data is consistent with the standard AVEVA HVAC application catalogue. This means that any HVAC fittings defined on a diagram must conform to the equivalent 3D HVAC fittings that can be created from the standard AVEVA 3D HVAC specification.

5:7

12.0


The information used by Integrator to determine the appropriate component in 3D depends on the following attributes of the SCHVFI (schematic HVAC fitting) object: GTYP

generic type

SCSTYP

specific type

CONARRAY

duct shapes for each connection point

WIDARRAY

duct widths for each connection point

HEIARRAY

duct heights for each connection point

In order for Integrator to be able to build and compare a 3D HVAC component, the combination of this information from the SCHVFI must correspond to a component in the standard catalogue. In particular, if there is a branch connection point, it should be P3, with ARRIVE and LEAVE as P1 and P2 (or P2 and P1) respectively. An example of a component that would not meet this criteria would be a rectangular, threeway fitting with a different duct height on P3. In the standard catalogue, duct height (the depth of the fitting) is equal across the three connection points. For each GTYP there are one or more available SCSTYPs. To set an appropriate SCSTYP in AVEVA Diagrams in HVAC mode, navigate to the SCHVFI by selecting it in the diagram or schematic explorer, click on HVAC > Set SCSTYP, select an SCSTYP from the list and click Apply. Integrator can build user defined HVAC fittings provided that the SPREF is set on the SCHVFI. A configuration rule should be defined in Integrator for SCHVFI elements, to copy the SPREF if it is set on the source element.

5.2.4

Building Cable When Integrator builds Cable in 3D the following actions are carried out. •

The names of an appropriate SITE and ZONE are determined from the rules.

•

A CABLE is created in the appropriate ZONE and named in accordance with the rules.

•

Start and End references are set in accordance with schematic connectivity if the connecting objects exist in 3D. Connections can be direct to equipment using the ELCXRF attribute or to ELCONNs.

•

Attribute values can be set on CABLES in accordance with the rules.

•


Integrator does not create CORE objects below 3D cables, even if the schematic cable owns schematic cores. If needed, schematic core data can be referenced from 3D via the owning cable's SCHLNK attribute. Integrator builds the individual cables for a Schematic Multi-Cable (SCMCAB ). There is no 3D equivalent of SCMCAB .

5.2.5

B ui ld in g Of fl in e In st ru men ts Integrator builds offline instruments in 3D as EQUIpment. In this context, offline instruments are instruments remote from the pipework (as opposed to instruments modelled as branch members even if they are located off the centreline of the pipe).

5.3

How Integrator Compares Schematic and 3D Data In the Main Table or Diagram Viewer select the objects you want to compare, then select Context Menu > Compare. You can also select Compare in the Integrator Main Bar Menu or Compare Diagram in the background menu of the Diagram Viewer. These options are described in the Main Table Context Menu in Integrator Controls. You can also initiate Compare from the Command Line. This process is described in How to use Integrator from the Command Line . Integrator outputs the results of a Compare in a report form or file. It also "traffic light" colours the diagram and 3D graphical display according to the status of the compared objects.

5.3.1

Example Compare Colour Coded Diagram and 3D View An example comparing a pipeline is shown below. Integrator has coloured the diagram and 3D views to show: •

Red for components present in one view but missing from the other view

•

Yellow for warnings or information

•

Orange for components with some mismatch in attribute values

•

Green for components that match

Figure 5:4.

Compare Pipeline Coloured Diagram

Integrator has created a separate 3D view for the compare results. This view has its own drawlist so that results of the colour coding do not affect any other views that the user may have defined. Note: If you cannot see the Integrator 3D View, use the Window menu to pop it to the front.

5.3.2

Ex am pl e Co mpar e Rep or t From these example views it is clear that one of the valves is missing from the 3D model. This is confirmed by the Compare Report f orm.

Building a Missing Component from the Compare Report The report Context Menu is available by right clicking on an object or row in the report. The Build option is available on the valve's context menu in the report Grid panel in this example because this valve is missing from the 3D model.

Figure 5:8.

Compare Report Context Menu

Selecting Build in the valve's context menu shows a form listing the components already present in the 3D branch.

Updating an Attribute Value from the Compare Report When Integrator finds that an attribute value in 3D does not conform to the rules, e.g. when a value has been changed on the diagram but not yet updated to 3D, a dropdown menu is provided in the Data panel to allow the correct value to be used. The example below shows a mismatch in the AREA of an equipment. Select the row with a left mouse click and the attribute comment will be displayed in the status bar below.

Compare Report showing Update Completed

Drag and Drop onto Compare Report The Compare Report form supports a drag and drop from the Diagram Viewer or Design Explorer. If the object is dropped on the grid panel and is included in the report, it will be selected in the report form. For the example above, the valve could be dropped onto the form. The report has a drop site for linking, at the base of the report. An object can be dragged from the drawing viewer, design explorer, or from the report grid panel, and dropped in the drop site. If dragged from the report grid panel, the drag must start on either the Schematic Element cell or the 3D Element cell to determine which object is dragged. A subsequent drop onto the drop site will either replace the object selected for linking, or offer to link to it, depending on the relative types.

5.3.6

Com par e Col ou r Co des Integrator colour codes the diagram and 3D views to give a visual indication of the compare results. Each view is coloured with respect to the other. Colours are configurable but there is a typical setup:

5.3.7

•

Objects that match correctly are shown in green.

•

If an object exists on the diagram but is missing in 3D, it will be shown in red on the diagram, and vice versa.

•

In the case of a piping component missing, the line segment it is missing from will be shown in yellow.

•

A yellow line segment on the diagram indicates a missing tube in 3D.

•

In the case of a missing nozzle, the equipment body is coloured yellow.

•

Connection errors will be shown in blue.

•

Attribute mismatches will be shown in orange.

•

An ambiguous object, e.g. a valve matched in two places, will be shown in red.

•

An object with the wrong owner, e.g. a nozzle on the wrong equipment, will be shown in orange.

•

Objects not compared are shown in cyan.

Use of Comparison Categories Comparison Categories allow certain categories of difference to be ignored so that attention can be focused on areas of priority. For example in the report shown below there are a number of differences reported on NAME and SPRE of components.

5:14

Figure 5:15. Example report with default Comparison Categories

If a Comparison Category is defined to ignore differences of Names, Spec Attributes and Other Attributes, the report then appears as below. Note that the Comparison Category used is included in the report title. The differences concerned no longer appear as comments or as red icons, and will not participate in the aggregation of differences reported up the hierarchy (the worst case report). The actual data will still be visible in the report content.

How Integrator Links Schematic and 3D Objects In the Main Table or Diagram Viewer select the objects you want to link or unlink, then select Context Menu > Link or Unlink . You can also select Link or Unlink in the Integrator Main Bar Menu . These options are described in the Main Table Context Menu in Integrator Controls. You can also initiate Link or Unlink from the Command Line. This process is described in How to use Integrator from the Command Line . From a schematic object, when the Link option is selected, the Integrator will search for 3D objects that match according to the currently defined configuration rules. For example, from a schematic equipment, the Integrator will look for a corresponding 3D equipment object with a name or other attributes that comply with the rules. If a matching object that is not already linked is found, it will be offered as the first in a list of candida tes for linking, followed by unlinked non-matching objects. When linking pipes to a schematic pipeline, you can select more than one pipe to be linked at the same time.

How to Configure Build Rules This chapter explains how to configure the rules used by Integrator during Build and Compare operations. It describes how to use the Integrator Configuration Explorer and explains the different types of configuration settings.

6.1

Configuration File Location The rules are stored in a project configuration file. A default configuration file is installed with the Integrator in the AVEVA PDMS or AVEVA Marine executables folder. In order to use it on a project, it must be copied to the Project Defaults Model Management folder. For example on the SAM project it would be:

%SAMDFLTS%\ Model Management \ Pr oj ect Conf i gur at i on. xml

6.2

Modifying the Project Configuration File Project configuration files are modified using the Project Configuration Explorer.

6.2.1

Display the Project Configuration Explorer In the Integrator Bar Menu select Display > Project Configu ration Explor er . The Project Configuration Explorer will either be initially blank or will display the last set of modifications carried out.

6.2.2

Open a New or Existing Configuration File In the File menu select New to create a new configuration, or select Open to open an existing configuration file.

Figure 6:2.

Open a Project Configuration File

There are two options for new configuration files. •

An Empty Configuration file will provide some simple default settings but will contain no rules for building and comparing objects.

•

A Default Configuration will provide a copy of the configuration file containing a complete set of example rules that can be used out of the box but are available for customisation.

To open an existing configuration file select the ProjectConfiguration.xml file in the Open File dialogue. By default this dialogue will open in the appropriate folder, defined as the ModelManagement folder under the folder indicated by the project defaults environment variable, e.g. for the TTP project:

%t t pdf l t s%\ Model Management \ Pr oj ect Conf i gur at i on. xml Integrator always uses this fo lder and file combination to read its configuration settings. You can save the settings in another file, but if you want those settings to be used, you must copy that file back to the default name and location. Note: If you have moved away from the default folder, use the project defaults environment variable to get quickly to the appropriate folder. For example, in the Open File dialogue, for the TTP project, enter %t t pdf l t s%\ Model Management in the Filename field.

This is the value that will be used to compare real number attributes. Two attribute values within this tolerance will be deemed to be equal. If no Real Tolerance value is specified the built-in default is 0.00001. Distance Tolerance

This is the value that will be used to compare distance attributes. Two attribute values within this tolerance are deemed to be equal. If no Distance Tolerance value is specified the builtin default is 0.01. Distance and and B ore Units

These determine which units will be used for distance and bore values embedded within rules. The options are mm or inch . Can Create Site

This determines whether a SITE may be automatically created during Build operations if no suitable SITE already exists (as specified by the project build rules). The built-in default setting is false. Can Create Zone

This determines whether a ZONE may be automatically created during Build operations if no suitable ZONE already exists (as specified by the project build rules). The built-in default setting is false. Compare Flanges, Flanges, Coupli Coupli ngs and Unio ns

By default, flanges, couplings and unions are treated as insignificant for compare. If the diagrams show these items then they can be set true so that they will be treated as significant for compare.

6.5.2

Di c t i o n ar i es Dictionaries may be used with the rules to define value strings against given keys. For example the key might be the setting of an attribute, and the associated value might be needed to perform correct build or comparison operations. In the example below a Dictionary has been created for Disciplines.

6.5.3

Sp ec Qu er i es Spec Queries list the selectors from pipe specifications that can be used in Selector Rules elsewhere in the configuration file. The example here shows a single query for STYP as provided in the out-of-the-box configuration file. Any selector used in the file must be included in the Spec Queries section, so that it can be recognised as allowable syntax by Intellisense. If Integrator reports syntax errors in the configuration file, it may be that there are Selector rules defined using selectors that have not been entered in the Spec Queries section. Use the right click menu in the right hand panel to insert individual queries, or to insert spec queries from catalogue. This latter option will generate a list of all the selectors used in pipe specifications in the project, and is intended as an occasional activity for project administrators. Selectors are project specific although some such as STYP are very common. Note that you do not need to insert PBOR selectors (PBOR0, PBOR1, PBOR2, etc.) as Integrator uses PBOR selectors automatically when needed.

Compare Colours

Each Compare State can have a Compare Colour . To change the colour for that state, click on the colour box to the right of the state and select a colour from the browser. The Compare States have the following meanings:

Undefined

The object has not been compared and so its compare state does not have a value

Information

An information message concerning the object will be reported in the Compare report

OK

Object data is Good

Check Required

Object data should be checked by an engineer, e.g. an INST is matched with a VALV

Warning

A warning concerning the object will be reported in the Compare report

6.5.5

Minor Error

A minor error with the object will be reported in the Compare report

Sequential Difference

A sequence of objects in 3D, such as piping components in a branch, does not conform to the sequence on the schematic

Member Attribute Difference

The values of one or more attributes of one or more members of the object in 3D do not conform to the rules

Attribute Difference

The values of one or more attributes of the object in 3D do not conform to the rules

Critical Error

A critical error with the object will be reported in the Compare report

Connection Error

The connections on the object in 3D are not consistent with the connections on the matched schematic object

Item Missing

An item is missing from the object that is coloured, e.g. a tube in 3D is coloured to show that the matching tube segment on the schematic has a component that is missing in 3D (note the difference from Not Matched)

Not Matched

The object on the schematic or in 3D is not matched with an object on the other side, e.g. a component on the schematic is coloured to show that there is no matching component in 3D (note the difference from Item Missing)

In Wrong Location

The object in 3D is matched to an object on the schematic but its owner does not match the owner of the schematic object

Ambiguous Matches

The object on the schematic is matched to two or more objects in 3D, because the rule definitions and available data on the objects are insufficient to differentiate between the 3D objects

Error

An error with the object will be reported in the Compare report

Not Compared

The objects have not been compared in the current session

Highlight

This is not used for compare - it is the colour used to highlight objects in the 3D view when selected in the Main Table or Comparison Report

Rules Most of the configuration activity will be concerned with the Build and Compare rules. Rules are organised in RuleGroups and use expression syntax as described below. Rule Types

Build and Compare rules have two basic types. Create rules are used to create new 3D objects during Build, and to check the existence and type of a matching object during Compare. As si gn rules are used to assign a value to an at tribute during Build, and to check the setting of an attribute on the 3D object during Compare. An Assign rule should always be preceded by a Create rule in the same block.

6:10

12.0


Rule Groups Create and As si gn rules are normally grouped within a Rule Group , containing a logical condition that determines when the rules of the Rule Group should be applied. Rule Groups may be nested, in which case the inner rules are only applied if all of the conditions of the owning Rule Groups are met. Rule Groups can optionally have a name and condition. The Rule Group may contain Create or As si gn rules and nested Rule Groups . The rules within the Rule Group are only applied if the given condition is met. The rules within nested Rule Groups are only applied if all conditions of the owning Rule Groups are met.

The Rule Group name is an alphanumeric string to identify the Rule Group . It is optional and no check is made that names are unique. The Rule Group condition is a Boolean expression that is evaluated during Build and Compare operations. At any point during the Build or Compare operation there is one schematic object under consideration. This object is referred to as the source. The corresponding design object (if there is one) is referred to as the target . During Compare operations the target will be an actual corresponding 3D object. During Build operations the target represents a "candidate" for a 3D object still to be created. In both case the source and target elements can be referred to in the Rule Group condition. These can be used to refer to attributes or UDAs on the source or target using the "OF" syntax. For example, NAME of sour ce refers to the NAME attribute of the source schematic object. User defined attributes can be used in the same way, for example, :MYATT of sour ce. An extended notation allows access to attributes on related elements - owner , previous , next , for example, AREA of OWNER of OWNER of t ar get . Attribute values can be combined and compared using the full power of the expression syntax described in detail below. Create Rules Create rules have a type expression that defines the 3D object type that is to be created (during Build operations), or that is needed to match (during Compare operations). During Build operations the object will be created at the appropriate level in the database hierarchy.

The type expression must evaluate to a legal 3D database object type. This can be an explicit word, e.g. EQUI, or a more complex expression calculated from schematic attribute settings. As in the Rule Group condition, the current source schematic object is referred to as source and its attributes are identified using the "OF" syntax, for example, GTYP of sour ce. More powerful expressions can be created using the syntax de scribed below. In the situation where more than one 3D object type can be acceptable for comparison purposes, the Create type expression uses the special Variant function. This defines a list of all acceptable matching types, for example, Var i ant ( TEE, OLET, FLAN). Each argument of the Variant function is an expression as defined above. When building, the first type listed in the Variant function will be used. When the 3D object being created is to be selected from a specification, the questions and answers that inform the selection process are listed in Selector rules owned by the Create rule. Each Selector rule has a Question, e.g. STYP, and a value based on a schematic attribute, e.g. SCSTYP of sour ce.

Intellisense Feedback

The Configuration Explorer provides Intellisense feedback to assist with finding the appropriate entry as you edit a rule. Full syntax available can be displayed at the start of an entry by pressing the Alt and right arrow keys together.

Expression Syntax This section explains the expression syntax available in the Configuration Explorer when defining rules. Operators

Arithmetic expressions can be built using the usual conventions: •

Operators + and - add and subtract numerical values

•

Operators * and / multiply and divide numerical values

•

Brackets (…) are used to group sub-expressions particularly to build nested expressions.

Boolean expressions can be built using the following conventions: •

Operators eq , ne , lt , le , gt , ge , test for equality, inequality, less than, less than or equals, greater than, greater than or equals, and apply to a pair of numerical expressions or a pair of alphanumeric expressions or a pair of Boolean expressions. (The result will be unpredictable if expressions of different type are compared.)

•

Operators and and or test for Boolean "and" and Boolean "or" between two Boolean expressions.

•

Operator no t is used to negate the Boolean expression that follows it.

At tr ib ut es

Attributes can generally be included in rules using the of syntax, e.g. NAME of source, but the do t notation can also be used, e.g. source.NAME. The dot notation is useful for array attributes, e.g. source.BOREAR[3] < 100. Functions

Format Function Details

string Format (string pattern, object arg1, …) The first argument is a pattern string into which the remaining arguments are substituted according to the format specifications included in the pattern string. This function follows the conventions defined for the .NET Syst em. St r i ng. For mat function. The pattern string contains normal text with the argument formatting elements embedded within curly braces. For example:

For mat ( ' / {0}- {1}- {2: D3}' , PREFI X of sour ce, LETTER of sour ce, NUMBER of sour ce)

6:14

This example generates a name from the values of three attributes on the source object. The first two values are straightforward substitutions. The third value is substituted as a decimal value with a minimum of 3 digits, padded with leading zeros if necessary.

6.5.7

Example Rule Group for SCEQUI The following examples illustrate some Rules under a particular Rule Group defined for schematic equipment.

Figure 6:13. Rule Group for SCEQUI

The condition here restricts this Rule Group to be applied only where the source type is SCEQUI. Here is the condition:

TYPE of sour ce == ' SCEQUI ' Within this Rule Group there is one Create Action . This defines the type of object to be created during a Build operation, in this case EQUI. The Variant Count is 1, which means that the Compare operation will always check for an EQUI.

Figure 6:14. Create Action

There are several As si gn Ac ti on s . This one assigns a value to the attribute POS on the target object, taking that value from the POS attribute of the source object. The Build Ac ti on is set and the Compare Action is ignore. These options and their alternatives are described in more detail below.

6:15

12.0


Figure 6:15. Assign Action

The As si gn Ac ti on has several properties. Name, Variants Count, Attribute Name and At tr ib ut e Value have been described above and the others are described here. • As si gn ee is the object that has the attribute whose value is being set or compared. Allowable entries are: •

target - the target object in 3D, this is the usual setting

•

owner - the owing ZONE in 3D, described below in the example fo r NAME

•

root - the owning SITE in 3D, described below in the example for NAME

Figure 6:16. Assignee Options

•

Build Action is the action carried out during a Build operation. Allowable entries are:

•

set - set the value of the attribute

•

ignore - do not set the value of the attribute

Figure 6:17. Build Action Options

•

Compare Action is the action carried out during a Compare operation. Allowable entries are:

•

match - the value of the attribute must match the value generated by the rule

•

matchorexceed - the value of the attribute must be equal to or greater than the value generated by the rule

6:16

12.0


•

matchornotexceed - the value of the attribute must be equal to or less than the value generated by the rule

•

matchaskeyattribute - the value of the attribute will be used to find matching objects in 3D; where key attributes are defined in the rules for a particular type, all their values on a particular object must match the values generated by the rules, in order for the 3D object to be identified as a match for the source schematic object

•

ignore - the value of the attribute will not be compared

Figure 6:18.

•

Compare Action Options

Mismatch Severity determines how a mismatch is reported during a Compare operation. Allowable entries are:

•

critical error - the mismatch will be reported as a critical error, indicated by a red blob icon in the compare report

•

error - the mismatch will be reported as an error, indicated by a red dot icon in the compare report

•

warning - the mismatch will be reported as a warning, indicated by a yellow triangle icon in the compare report

•

information - the mismatch will be reported as information, indicated by a blue "i" icon in the compare report

Figure 6:19. Mismatch Severity Options

•

Mismatch Report is an optional text that will be output as a line in the compare report following the line on which t he mismatch itself is reported.

Figure 6:20.

Mismatch Report Example

Another As si gn Ac ti on sets the attribute NAME. This example has an expression that makes use of the format function to append the value of the display tag attribute to a slash character. Names in the design database can be duplicates of names in the schematic database, and so to use the same name for equipment in 3D as on the diagram, set the At tr ib ut e Value to NAME of sour ce.

6:17

12.0


Figure 6:21.

Assign Action for Name with Format Expression

In the same block there are two further As si gn Ac ti on s for NAME. The first of these has As si gn ee set to owner and contains an expression to define the name of the ZONE.

Figure 6:22. Assign Action for Owner

The second has As si gn ee set to root and contains an expression to define the name of the SITE.

Example Rule Group for SCVALV This next example illustrates a Rule Group for schematic valves. The Condition shown below restricts this Rule Group to being applied where the source object is of type SCVALV.

6:18

12.0


Figure 6:23.

Rule Group for SCVALV

This Rule Group has a number of nested Rule Groups . The first has a Condition that applies when the source object has a valid SPRE, denoted by being not equal to Nulref .

Figure 6:24.

Nested Rule Group to Copy SPRE

Here is the Condition:

SPRE OF sour ce NE ' Nul r ef ' This Rule Group has a Create Acti on that specifies the type of object to be created during a Build operation, in this case based on the attribute GTYPE of the source object.

Figure 6:25. Create Action Based on GTYPE

One of the accompanying As si gn Ac ti on s copies the attribute SPRE from the source object.

6:19

12.0


Figure 6:26. Assign Action for SPRE

The second nested Rule Group has a Condition that applies it when the source object does not have a valid SPRE, denoted by being equal to Nulref .

Figure 6:27.

Rule Group to Select from Spec


SPRE of sour ce EQ ' Nul r ef ' This Rule Group has a further nested Rule Group that defines it as applying to source objects with particular GTYPE values.

Figure 6:28.

Rule Group for VALV or VFWA

6:20

12.0



GTYPE OF s our ce EQ ‘ VALV’ OR GTYPE OF s our ce EQ ‘ VFWA’ OR GTYPE OF sour ce EQ ‘ VTWA’ This Rule Group also has a Create Acti on that specifies the type of object to be created during a Build operation, again based on the attribute GTYPE of the source object.

Figure 6:29.

Create Action for VALV

The Create Acti on has a Selector which will be used during a Build operation to select the object from the pipe specification. It will also be compared with a severity level of warning. Each Selector has a Question and An sw er . This Selector takes the STYPE from the source object’s SCSTYP attribute.

Figure 6:30. Selector STYPE

The next Rule Group has a condition that tests for a Check Valve using the SCSTYP attribute of the SCVALV.

6:21

Figure 6:31.

Rule Group Condition for Check Valve

This is accompanied by a Report Action that will output an error message in the Compare report if the flow direction is reversed.

How to use Integrator from the Command Line This chapter explains how to use the Integrator from the command line in macros.

7.1

Integrator Object Initialisation The main Integrator functions can be run from the command line using the Integrator object. This must be initialised using the following function:

! ! i nt egr at or I ni t ( )

7.2

In teg rat or Ob jec t Meth od s The method signatures for Build , Compare, Link and Unlink are shown below. These correspond to the interactive operations described in the Main Table Context Menu in Integrator Controls. The string arguments can be a name like /MyName or a reference like =123/ 45678. The array arguments are arrays of strings of the same format.

! ! i nt egr at or . bui l d( ! Name i s STRI NG) ! ! i nt egr at or . bui l d( ! Names i s ARRAY) ! ! i nt egr at or . compar e( ! Name i s STRI NG) ! ! i nt egr at or . compar e( !

Names i s ARRAY) By default the Compare Report is generated to the screen. In order to send the report direct to file the following two lines are needed to suppress the output to screen and set the pathname:

! ! i nt egr at or . s et r epor t vi s i bl e( f al s e) ! ! i nt egr at or . s et r epor t pat h( ' c : \ r epor t s \ r ep. xml ' ) If the pathname of the report file has been specified as shown above, then the report can be viewed in the Compare form using the following command (note that this command cannot be used in non-graphics mode).

! ! i nt egr at or . openr epor t ( )

7:1

12.0


Access to the current setting for the option "Report unpositioned elements" is provided by the following two methods:

! ! i nt egr at or . get Repor t CheckPosi t i on( ) ! ! i nt egr at or . set Repor t CheckPosi t i on( ! Fl ag i s BOOLEAN) The following methods have been provided to set flags to auto-link matched objects and auto-update attributes:

! ! i nt egr at or . set Compar eAut oLi nkMat ches( ! Fl ag i s BOOLEAN) ! ! i nt egr at or . set Compar eAut oUpdat eAt t r i but es( ! Fl ag i s BOOLEAN) If these are set true then the next use of the compare method will perform these functions. The following method has been provided to select a Comparison Category:

! ! i nt egr at or . set Compar i sonCat egory( ! Compar i sonCat egory i s STRI NG)

7.3

How to Customise the Integrator This chapter explains how to customise the Integrator using PML to add project specific actions to the process. Important: Modification of the AVEVA supplied code in the Integrator PML objects could compromise the integrity of data managed by the Integrator, and could lead to adverse effects on project progress. You are advised to carefully test any modifications to these objects.

8.1

Ho w to Ad d Fu nc ti on al ity wit h PML Integrator communicates with PML via events that call methods on PML objects supplied in the pml l i b\ I nt egr at or \ obj ec t s folder. These objects are essential to the correct functioning of Integrator and should not be modified other than as described below. The I nt egr at or Pr oj ect Handl er object is provided to enable project specific actions to be added to certain methods. The methods that can be modified are a s follows.

Begi nBui l dCal l back •

This method is called once prior to any other actions during the Build process.

Pr eCr eat eCal l back •

This method is called prior to the creation of each object in 3D during the Build process

Post Cr eat eCal l back •

This method is called after the creation of each object in 3D during the Build process

EndBui l dCal l back •

This method is called once after any other actions during the Build process.

Begi nCompar eCal l back •

This method is called once prior to any other actions during the Build process.

EndCompar eCal l back •

This method is called once after any other actions during the Build process.

The arguments for each method are specified in the supplied PML. Each place where customised code can be added is delimited as follows.

How to Distribute Customised Table Layouts Individual users can customise and save their own table layouts. This process is described in Save Layout in Integrator Controls. As an administrator you may decide to create a set of project standard table layouts for all users on the project. Table layouts are stored in a set of files in the user's Local Settings Application Data folder for the particular project. Column definitions are stored in a preferences file, for example:

C: \ Document s and Set t i ngs\ j ohn. smi t h\ Local Set t i ngs\ Appl i cat i on Dat a\ Aveva\ Model Management \ Pr oj ect Set t i ngs\ SAM\ Pr ef er ences. xml Layout configuration is stored in a file named after the layout in the TableLayouts folder. For example a layout named Motors would be:

C: \ Document s and Set t i ngs\ j ohn. smi t h\ Local Set t i ngs\ Appl i cat i on Dat a\ Aveva\ Model Management \ Pr oj ect Set t i ngs\ SAM\ Tabl eLayout s\ Mot or s An administrator who has created a set of layouts in their own area can copy the Preferences file and the TableLayouts folder to the Project Defaults Model Management folder. For example on the SAM project this would be

%SAMDFLTS%\ Model Management \ Saved table layouts are checked only at the start of a user's session. An updated set of layouts copied to the project folder will not be seen by users until their next session. If a user creates a layout with the same name as a project layout, then the user's layout will be used.

8.3

How to Distribute Customised Comparison Categories Individual users can customise and save their own comparison categories. This process is described in Comparison Category Settings in Integrator Controls. As an administrator you may decide to create a set of standard comparison categories for all users (comparison categories are shared across projects). Comparison categories are stored in files in the user's Local Settings Application Data folder, for example: C:\Documents and Settings\john.smith\Local Settings\Application Data\Aveva\PDMS\ IntegratorSettings\CompareCategories An administrator who has created a set of comparison categories in their own folder can copy the contents of this folder and distribute them to other users to include in their own equivalent folders.
