Adding ISOGEN™
Data to Fittings
You can export
piping and tubing data as a PCF file, for use in other piping
applications such as ISOGEN™.
You can assign the following custom
properties to export to the PCF file:
Name |
Location |
Description |
Optional or Required |
IsogenSkey |
Fitting part file,
typically as a document property, but can be configuration-specific. |
The SKEY value in the PCF file. Examples: FLSW,
FLWN, TEBX,
etc. See your ISOGEN application for more details. |
Required |
IsogenBom |
Fitting part file,
typically as a configuration-specific property. |
Part number (ITEM-CODE) in the PCF file, used for BOM generation in
the ISOGEN application. If not found, then the software uses SWBomPartno
or the configuration name. |
Optional |
IsogenDescription |
Fitting part file,
typically as a configuration-specific property. |
Description (DESCRIPTION) in the PCF file, used for BOM description
in the ISOGEN application. If not found, then the software uses SWBomPartno
or the configuration name. |
Optional |
IsogenComponentType |
Fitting part file,
typically as a document property, but can be configuration-specific. |
The software determines the basic component types (flange, tee, cross,
elbow, reducer, eccentric reducer, valve) by analyzing the component features
(such as the number of RPoints and CPoints and their associated pipe diameters).
This does not accommodate all possible component types, so for any other
type of component (such as a union, instrument, or reducing elbow), specify
the type using this property. |
Optional |
IsogenAttribute1,
IsogenAttribute2,
IsogenAttribute3,
etc. |
Route assembly file,
as document properties. |
These properties are mapped to attributes in the PCF file and can be
used to transfer any additional data to the ISOGEN application. The assignment
of data to attribute is configured in the ISOGEN application.
TIP: You can add these properties
as custom properties in the template for route assembly documents so that
in the route assembly, you only need to add the values.
NOTE: You cannot skip a property
in the sequence. For example, you cannot create IsogenAttribute1
and IsogenAttribute2, skip IsogenAttribute3, then create IsogenAttribute4. When the software
encounters an unused attribute number it will not process any further
attributes. (The value of the property can be empty if not used.) |
