Introduction 1 - 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________1. Introduction

The PD_Stress Analysis Interface product generates neutral files from three-dimensional (3D) piping models created by PDS modeling packages as inputfor third party stress analysis packages.

The neutral file can be run on your own in-house pipe stress software or onany other commercially available package capable of processing theIntergraph neutral file. Because of its flexibility, you can change the contentsof the neutral file and customize it for your specific use.

The Stress Analysis Interface product performs its function via:

strinp (input collection)

1 - 2 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

PDSSTR (neutral file generation)

The strinp file collects user input and creates the ASCII file STRDEF.DATwhich contains the defaults file NEUDFLTS. This defaults file containsswitches, options and tables allowing you to control the information theStress Analysis Interface enters into the neutral file. (Refer to the DefaultsFile section for more information on the contents of the defaults.) The strinpfile then displays the Stress Analysis Interface form allowing you to enterdata to the ASCII file pdsstr.dat.

From the pdsstr.dat file, the Stress Analysis Interface reads the involvedpiping and equipment models, the pipeline names or stress ID and thedefaults file.

The pdsstr file then reads the 3D piping model and generates the stressanalysis neutral files.

PDS Environment 2 - 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2. PDS Environment

The PDS 3D software supports a variety of applications. All the supportedapplications use a common interface that is controlled by the PD Shellprogram. This ensures consistency across applications and minimizes theamount of time required to learn the product.

PDS Environment 2 - 5

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2.1.1 PD_Shell Form Conventions

The following Conventions describe how to respond to the various buttons,lists, and prompts that make up the environments. The display size of formsand dialog boxes in the non-Microstation graphics environment areindependent of the size of the workstation’s display system. Most formscontain the same basic features: buttons, fields, text, and other gadgets. Ingeneral, anything you find on a form is called a gadget.

Selecting Options

You move through the PD Shell forms by selecting function buttons or othergadgets from the form. Select means to place the screen cursor (whichappears as an arrow) on top of a screen gadget and press <D>.

For most of the forms with scrolling lists, you can double-click on a row toselect and accept the data in that row. This performs the same action asselecting a row (which highlights) and then selecting the Accept button.

You use the select action to select functions, access other forms, activate datafields, toggle buttons, select from lists, scroll through data displayed on thescreen, and so on.

The following summarizes other basic actions you use in the environments:

Enter — When keying in any data in a key-in field, press the <ENTER>or <Tab> key for the data to be entered into the system. You can alsopress <ENTER> or <Tab> to move through a set of key-in fields.

Delete — If you make a mistake while keying in text, press the<Delete> key to erase character(s) to the left of the cursor.

Common Tools on the PD Shell Forms

There are many gadgets in the environments that are common to most or allof the forms. The following describes these tools.

Standard Commands

The PD Shell forms have a set of standard buttons in the upper right cornerof most of the form windows. The available commands vary from form toform depending on the type of operation.

The Help button activates on-line Help for the active form. Help remainsactive until you delete the Help window.

2 - 6 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

The Shell button exits the active form and returns control to the basemanager that is associated with the active form. For most forms this returnsto the Plant Design System Environment form.

The Top button exits the active form and returns control to the top form ofthe active branch.

The Cancel button cancels or exits from the active form. Control returns tothe immediately preceding form in the hierarchy.

The Accept button accepts a selection or operation. Depending on the activeform or option, the active form remains active so that you can repeat asimilar operation or control returns to the preceding form.

The Restart button clears any key-in fields on the form that have values youcan modify.

Scrolling List

Some screen menus have a scrolling list of projects or applications. You needto scroll a list only if more options are available than can be displayed in thewindow. To scroll a list, select the arrow buttons on the side of the list. Thelist scrolls up or down depending on which arrow you select.

The scrolling list has an arrow pointing up and an arrowpointing down. These arrows scroll lists line by line. There is abutton that slides between these two arrows to indicate yourposition on the list. To page through the list, select the spaceabove or below the sliding button. The list pages up or downaccordingly.

You can also select the slider and, while pressing <D>, slide the button up ordown the bar. The items scroll through the window as you move the button.The size and position of the button on the scroll bar is an indication of thenumber of lines and the relative position within the list.

All commands that display a list of design areas or models order the listalphanumerically by the design area number or model number in ascendingorder.

In some forms with scrolling lists, you can double-click on a row to select andaccept the data in that row. This performs the same action as selecting a row(which highlights) and then selecting the Accept button.

PDS Environment 2 - 7

Key-in Fields

Screens that accept keyboard input have key-in fields. Thesefields are box-shaped and dark gray. You can select a key-infield and key in a new value. A bar cursor appears in the activekey-in field. Key in your input, and press <Return>. To changea field, reselect the field and key in the new information. Key-infields have a maximum number of characters depending on theitem that is being defined.

If you select a key-in field for a code-listed attribute, the system activates aform that lists the code list values for the selected field.

MicroStation requires lowercase characters for the file specification and pathname of all design files. Therefore, the system automatically converts anyinput for the file specification and path name of a design file (such as a modelor drawing) to lowercase before loading into the Project Control Database.

Display-List Boxes

A display-list box is located at the end of some key-in fields. Itlets you select data from a list instead of keying in information.For example, there is a display list associated with theAuthorization key-in field shown. At the end of the field, there isa small box with horizontal dashes. When you select this displaylist box with the screen cursor, an associated list of valid inputvalues displays. Select an item from the list to enter its valueinto the field.

Shift Left and Shift Right buttons

At the bottom of some key-in and display fields, there are two buttonsmarked with arrows. These buttons are called shift left and shiftright buttons.

Often, you can key in more characters than a field display shows. Shift Leftmoves the text display to the front of the field; Shift Right moves the textdisplay to the end of the field.

Toggle

A toggle field on a screen menu enables you to select one of two possiblechoices, one of which is always displayed. Place a data point on the togglefield to toggle between the two choices.

Roll-Through List

A roll-through list shows one choice at a time of a list that can beseveral items long. Place a data point on the roll-through list to scrollthrough the available options. The option displayed is active.

2 - 8 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

Standard Window Icons

When using this software in the CLIX environment, you can press <D> alongthe edge of a form or any area not occupied by a button, key-in field, or othergadget, to display a box of icons. You can manipulate form windows just likeany other workstation window.

The following list defines the available window icons.

Collapse/RestoreRepaint

Pop-to-bottomModify/Resize

Pop-to-topRestore Size

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2.1.2 Batch Processes

When you install the PDS 3D applications, the system creates the necessarybatch queues for that application. Refer to Loading PDS Products in theProject Administrator (PD_Project) Reference Guide for a listing of the batchqueues.

PDS 3D uses these batch queues to allow you to continue working in theenvironment while the system processes a request. Many of the batchprocesses can be delayed for submission at a specified time.

When you submit a batch process the system sends an electronic mailmessage to the mail path of the default login reporting the jobs completionstatus. The mail message also includes any error log information. The setupof this functionality is optional on Windows NT.

Generating Neutral Files 3 - 5

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3.1 Model Files

The Model Number (model file) is a PDS Piping, Equipment Modeling, orPipe file to be considered for stress analysis. You can specify up to eight files.

Equipment Modeling files must be specified in order to generatenozzles in the neutral file.

The first model number entered is considered to be the primary file and mustbe a Piping file and NOT an Equipment Modeling or Pipe file. Any referencedatabase (RDB) data accessed during stress analysis is obtained via theprimary model (through its type 63 data).

RDB data accessed by the PD_Stress Analysis Interface product and properlyattached to the primary file includes:

Material/Specification Database

Graphic Commodity Library

Physical Commodity Libraries

Piping Job Spec Tables Library

Standard Notes Library

Material Descriptions Library

Specialty and Instrument Descriptions Library

Label Description Library

Miscellaneous data stored in the design file itself.

A Model No is considered invalid if the number is longer than fourteencharacters or if the number contains a underbar (_) characters or if it does notexist in the project database.

An empty carriage return in any of these fields moves the cursor to thePipeline Names field.

3 - 6 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3.2 Pipeline Names

The Pipeline Names are pipe lines to be extracted into a single neutral file.You can specify up to eight pipeline names.

The specified lines must be connected in the Piping model files. Because youare specifying a network of piping segments, you must not specify multipledisconnected piping sections such as vessel trim piping. For the lines to beconnected, the segments that form these lines must also be connected.

You can identify the pipelines you want to extract by line name substring orby Stress Analysis ID. The method you choose depends on the options you setin the defaults file. (Refer to the Defaults File section for more information).

In either method, you identify the piping network to extract by specifyingpiping segment attributes. Piping segments usually correspond only tosections of piping and not to an entire pipeline (unless the line is trivial).Enter the pipeline name(s) in the available fields.

An empty carriage return in any of these fields moves the cursor to theStress Output Node field.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3.2.1 Extraction by Line Name Substring

When extracting by line namesubstring, you should key in any substring ofthe full PDS line name that uniquely identifies the pipeline you want toinclude in the neutral file. This method is the default way of identifyingpipelines to extract.

Example 1

If the line name is 6IN-OWS10111-1C0031, you can use the substringOWS10111 to identify this line. You may not want to use 1C0031 because itis the spec name component of the line name and it would identify more thanone line in the model. Likewise, you might not want to use 6IN-OWS10111because it will only extract sections that have a NPD of 6 inches. This couldbe a problem if multiple 6 inch sections are connected together by sectionsthat are not 6 inches.

Extraction may fail if:

The line name substring you want to extract, exists with lines that aresimilarly named in the same models.

The substring you want to extract is also a substring of another linename.

Generating Neutral Files 3 - 7

When this type of extraction failure occurs, a multiple

disconnected segments exist error message might be displayed.

Example 2

If the line that you want to extract is 8IN-OWS1011-1C0031 and you use thesubstring OWS1011, you inadvertently specified that you want to extract6IN-OWS10111-1C0031 because OWS1011 is a substring of OWS10111.

To avoid this conflict:

specify a larger substring of the line name for the line you want toextract.

In the case above, the larger substring may be -OWS1011-.By including the dashes the substring specified is no longera substring of 6IN-OWS10111-1C0031.

specify the line IDs of the lines you want to extract.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________3.2.2 Extraction By ID

The ID is a segment attribute (table 12, column 52) that you must set prior torunning the software. To extract by ID, you must establish the proper optionin the Defaults File (Refer to the Defaults File section for more information).

Assumptions about Line Names

The following assumptions are made concerning line name changes in the 3Dmodel:

Branch components like olets are owned by the header to which they areattached. For an identified line, all of the olets (or olet-like components)are extracted with that line. It is not necessary to break the segmentunderneath the olet and change the line name so that the header ownsit.

Branch components like tee’s (for example, tee’s, 3-way valves) are alsoowned by the header. The header is defined as the part of the line thatcontains the run of the tee (from connect point 1 to connect point 2).Again, it is not necessary to break the segment underneath the branchof the component and give it the header line name.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4. Interpreting the HITS Report

The HITS report is a diagnostic tool generated by the Intergraph interface toPDSTRESS. You can use this report to analyze the data collected from the3-D piping model when a problem extracting an isometric occurs. This reportcan help you determine whether or not the problem exists in your model, inthe PDSTRESS interface or in PDSTRESS itself.

The HITS report filename is formed from the output isometric designfilename. Isometric design filename is concatenated with the file extension.h. For example, if the isometric design filename is OWS1101.ISO then theHITS report filename will be OWS1101.h. The report is created in thedefault directory at the time the iso is created.

One of the options in the PDSTRESS interface defaults file allows you togenerate a HITS report only and not an intermediate data file (IDF). Youmay not always want to generate an IDF with a HITS report. The run timeto generate both an IDF and a HITS report is significantly longer than therun time to generate a HITS report only.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.2 Section 1: Basic Input Data and Raw Design File Data

The first section of the HITS report consists of basic input data and rawdesign data. The basic input data consists of the date the report wasexecuted, project name and a list of model names that were extracted.

Each column of the raw design file data is described below.

Name The first four characters of the component item name.

occ The component database occurrence number (excluding the partitionnumber).

Note that some PIPE components have an occurrence number greater than30000. This occurs whenever olet type components are attached to a pipe.The software breaks these pipes into multiple sections. The newly createdpieces of pipe receive occurrence numbers in the 30000+ range to distinguishthem from the original pipe.

cp # The connect point number

x,y,z The coordinate in the design file coordinate system and is not adjusted for theglobal origin

node A node number assigned to all connect points other than the origin. A specialnode number, -1, is reserved for line endpoints. Two connect points that havethe same node number are connected to each other in the model.

direct A direction list number. The direction list number identifies all those connectpoints that lie together on a straight line.

sect Section number [always 0]

flags A bit mask used internally by the software

topo Topos [always 0]

branch Branch flag [always 0]

sg_occ The segment occurrence number. All connect points belong to or are ownedby a segment in the piping model. This is the occurrence number of thatowner segment.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 13

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.3 Section 2: Design File Data Sorted by Coordinate

The second section of the HITS report consists of raw design file data for eachconnect point of the piping components that make up the network that isbeing extracted. The database search criteria from section 1 is used to findall of the appropriate segments. Once the segments are found, the softwarecollects all of the components that are attached to the segments. Section 2 isthe result of this activity.

Section 2 contains several columns of data. Each column is described below:

Name Is the first four characters of the component item name.

occ The database occurrence number of the component (excluding the partitionnumber). [Note that some PIPE components have an occurrence numbergreater than 30000. This occurs whenever olet type components are attachedto a pipe. The software "breaks" these pipes into multiple sections. Thenewly created pieces of pipe receive occurrence numbers in the 30000+ rangeto distinguish them from the original pipe.]

cp # The connect point number.

x,y,z The coordinate in the design file coordinate system and is unadjusted for theglobal origin.

node A node number assigned to all connect points other than the origin. A specialnode number , -1, is reserved for line endpoints. Note that two connect pointsthat have the same node number are "connected" to each other in the model.

direct A direction list number. The direction list number identifies all those connectpoints that lie together on a straight line.

sect Always 0 here. Section number is described later in this section.

flags A bit mask used internally by the software.

topo Always 0 here. Topos are discussed later in this section.

branch- Always 0 here. The branch flag is discussed later in this section.

sg_occ- The segment occurrence number. All connect points "belong to" or "areowned" by a segment in the piping model. sg_occ is the occurrence number ofthat owner segment.

Section 2 is primarily used for examining the amount of data pulled in fromthe models through the database search criteria. Some of the data for aspecific connect point is sometimes useful — particularly the occurrencenumber.

4 - 14 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.4 Section 3: Tracing Data

Section 3 of the report, Tracing Data is a record of the actions the software istaking in building the internal data structure of the piping network. Thissection is primarily useful to Intergraph for investigating software problems.

The last statement in section 3 states how many disconnected sections ofpiping exist in the network identified in the database search criteria. If thenumber of sections is greater than 1 then the line is not extracted and theintermediate data file is not generated. PDSTRESS does not allow multiple,disconnected sections of piping to be extracted into a single iso.

The following is a list of possible reasons why a network might bedisconnected and some suggested solutions:

1. The database search criteria identified more than one pipeline and thepipelines are not connected together. The solution here is to change thesearch criteria so that only the piping that you really want to extract ispulled in.

2. The pipeline being extracted is incomplete and portions of it do not havecomponents on it. The solution is to place all of the components on theline.

3. Although the line is finished, there is a part of it that appears to beconnected but really is not. To be considered connected, the connectpoints from two different components must be within about 20 uors ofeach other.

In this case you should examine section 2 of the HITS report to find aconnect point whose node number is -1 (which indicates that it is a lineendpoint) even though you know it should be connected to something.This is usually quite simple when the line is small. When you find theconnect point, use the coordinate to view and repair the disconnectedgraphics. When the line is complicated, you can use section 4 of theHITS report (see the section Tracing Data) to make a sketch thatidentifies the disconnected point.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.5 Section 4: Design File Data Sorted by Topo

Section 4 of the HITS report is probably the most important one. This sectionis really a print—out of the internal data structure that represents the pipingnetwork. This data is organized on the basis of topos.

A topo is a construction used to group the data representing the pipelinetopology. By definition a topo is a string of piping that starts at a networkendpoint or a branch point and ends at a network endpoint or another branchpoint. A pipeline network may consist of a single topo or dozens of toposdepending upon its configuration.

Figure 4 - 1. Example line consisting of one topo

The line in Figure 4-1 consists of one topo because it does not contain anybranch points. The beginning of the topo is a line endpoint as is the end ofthe topo.

4 - 16 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

Figure 4 - 2. Example line consisting of two topos

The line in Figure 4-2 contains two topos due to the branch component in it(the tee). The first topo consists of the line from endpoint 1 to endpoint 2 (theheader of the pipeline). The second topo consists of the piping from the centerof the tee to line endpoint 3.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 17

Figure 4 - 3. Example line consisting of three topos

The line in Figure 4-3 contains three topos because there are two branches init. The first topo again consists of the line from endpoint 1 to endpoint 2.The second topo consists of the line from connect point 1 of weldolet 1 toendpoint 3. The third topo consists of the line from connect point 1 ofweldolet 2 to endpoint 4.

4 - 18 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

Figure 4 - 4. Topos on a line that contains a loop

The line in Figure 4-4 consists of two topos. One topo is comprised of the lineheader from endpoint 1 to endpoint 2. The other topo starts at the center ofone tee and goes to the center of the other tee.

The data in section 4 of the HITS report is sorted primarily by topo number.At the very beginning there are several lines where the topo number is zero.These are component origins which do not receive topo numbers or nodenumbers — they should be ignored. Subsequent to the lines where the toponumber is zero are lines for the first, second and subsequent topos.

The secondary sort key for the data in section 4 of the report is node number.Thus, within a topo the data is sorted by node number. This results inconnect points with the same node number being adjacent to each other inthe report. The result is that section 4 of the HITS report contains a trace ofeach topo of the line.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 19

Example 1:

The following is an excerpt from a HITS report section 4:

Name cp# node topo

E90L 1 -1 1E90L 2 1 1PIPE 1 1 1PIPE 2 2 1E90L 2 2 1E90L 1 3 1PIPE 2 3 1PIPE 1 4 1GATR 1 4 1GATR 2 5 1PIPE 1 5 1PIPE 2 -1 1

This trace consists of a single topo. The first endpoint is connect point 1 of a90 degree elbow. Connect point 2 of the elbow is connected to connect point 1of a pipe. Following this logic, the sequence of components starting from thetop is: elbow -> pipe -> elbow -> pipe -> valve -> pipe.

This same procedure may be followed to sketch out each network topo. Toposketches are useful if you are interested only in the sequence of componentsin a particular region of the line. If you are interested in the entire network,connect the topos together.

The topos are connected together by the branch column in section 4 of thereport. The branch column is used together with the last column. The lastcolumn in section 4 is a report line number. You can see by looking back atFigure 4-1 that the last column starts out at 1 and is incremented for eachline in section 4. When the branch column contains a nonzero value then thisindicates that the node is a branch point. The value of branch refers you tothe line number of the report where the connecting topo begins.

Example 2:

The following is an excerpt from a HITS report section 4:

Name occ# cp# node topo branch

PIPE 10 1 -1 1 0 1PIPE 10 2 1 1 5 2PIPE 30001 1 1 1 5 3PIPE 30001 2 2 1 0 4WOL 15 1 1 2 -2 5WOL 15 2 3 2 0 6PIPE 35 1 3 2 0 7PIPE 35 2 -1 2 0 8

The network is composed of two topos. Topo 1 is simply two pipes. Topo 2consists of a weldolet connected to a piece of pipe. Note that the occurrencenumber of the second pipe in topo 1 indicates the model contains a single pipe

4 - 20 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

which the software split into two at the olet. Figure 4-5 shows the Networkfor Example 2.

Figure 4 - 5. Network for Example 2

The value for branch at node 1 is 5. Looking at line 5 in the report we seethat it is the first line of topo 2. Thus topo 2 connects to topo 1 at node 1.This is confirmed by the fact that the node numbers where topo 2 connects totopo 1 match. That is, the WOL cp1, PIPE (occ 10) cp2, and PIPE (occ 30001)cp1 are all node number 1.

The value of branch for cp1 of the WOL is -2. The negative sign indicatesthat this is a "back pointer". The back pointer is exactly the same as anyother branch value except that it (usually) points back to a previous toporather than forward to a subsequent topo. Note that where two or more toposare connected together the branch numbers must agree. In Example 5 theydo. The back pointer on topo 2 points back to line 2 while the forward pointeron topo 1 points to line 5.

In Example 2, the branch flag pointed to the start point of the connectingtopo. It can also happen that the branch flag points to the endpoint of theconnecting topo. In this case you traverse the topo in reverse order.

In Example 3, topo 3 consists of pipe, elbow, pipe, pipe. Topo 7 is a typicaldrain assembly— plug, block valve, nipple, sockolet. Topo 7 connects to topo3 at line 53 in the report (the value of branch on line 25 is 53 and the value ofbranch of line 53 is -25). In this case, the value of branch on topo 3 points tothe bottom of topo 7 and the network structure is obtained by moving up topo3 rather than down (See Figure 4-6).

Figure 4 - 6. Network for Example 3

4 - 22 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

Example 4:

The following data is from section 4 of a HITS report:

Name Occ cp# Node Topo Branch

90E 37 1 -1 1 0 190E 37 2 1 1 0 2PIPE 101 1 1 1 0 3PIPE 101 2 2 1 0 4FLWN 22 2 2 1 0 5FLWN 22 1 3 1 0 6GAT 54 1 3 1 0 7GAT 54 2 4 1 0 8FLWN 11 1 4 1 0 9FLWN 11 2 5 1 0 10T 36 1 5 1 15 11T 36 2 6 1 15 12PIPE 11 1 6 1 0 13PIPE 11 2 -1 1 0 14T 36 3 7 2 -11 15PIPE 12 1 7 2 0 16PIPE 12 2 -1 2 0 17

In Example 4, the tee is slightly different from the olet type components.Branch flags are set on both connect points 1 and 2 of the T and the nodenumbers do not match where topo 2 connects to topo 1. This is a consequenceof the fact that node numbers are not assigned to component origins. SeeFigure 4-7 which shows the Network for Example 4.

Figure 4 - 7. Network for example 4

In Example 5, topo 1 consists of a pipe connected to an eccentric reducerwhich in turn is connected to another pipe. Notice, however, that the branchflag is set to two different numbers on the reducer. This indicates that thereducer is tapped twice. The branch flag on the first connect point points tothe topo connected at the first tap while the branch flag on the second connectpoint points to the topo connected to the second tap. A tap is always a branchstarting point and thus is always the start point of a new topo. Refer toFigure 4-8, which shows the network for Example 5.

Figure 4 - 8. Network for Example 5

If you generate some HITS reports and practice sketching out the pipelinenetworks, you will become familiar with the report contents and betterunderstand the concepts presented in the examples above.

4 - 24 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.6 Section 5: Design File Data in STR Order

Section 5 of the HITS report contains a record of how the network istraversed as the neutral file is being generated. The software examines thenetwork of piping and chooses the best (that is, the one least likely to result inproblems from PDSTRESS) topo to begin the network traversal on.PDSTRESS prefers certain navigation sequences over others and theinterface software tries to choose the optimal sequence.

PDSTRESS also requires that the traversal of the network be branch firstorder. This means that whenever a branch is encountered in the network,the traversal must head down the branch before continuing down the header.

To traverse the network in branch first order manner you start on the headertopo and travel connect point by connect point until the value of branch isgreater than 0 at some node. When branch is positive then you jump down tothe new topo and start traversing it until you come to another branch or tothe end. If you encounter another branch then you must jump again toanother topo. When the end of the topo is found then you return to the topofrom which you jumped and continue tracing.

Example 6:

The following is an example of a network:

Name Occ cp# Node Topo Branch

PIPE 10 1 -1 1 0 1PIPE 10 2 1 1 0 2T 11 1 1 1 7 3T 11 2 2 1 7 4PIPE 12 1 2 1 0 5PIPE 12 2 -1 1 0 6T 11 3 3 2 -3 7PIPE 13 1 3 2 0 8PIPE 13 2 -1 2 0 9

In Example 6, topo 1 consists of a header, two pipes, and the run of a tee.Topo 2 consists of a branch, the branch leg of a tee and a branch pipe.Following the rules given above for traversal of the network would yield thefollowing trace:

Name Occ cp in cp out Leg

PIPE 10 1 2 1T 11 1 0 1T 11 0 3 2PIPE 13 1 2 1T 11 0 2 4PIPE 12 1 2 1

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 25

Step 1 travels from one end of the first pipe to the other. Following the firstpipe we travel into the tee. Notice that although the origins do not have nodenumbers they appear in the traversal whenever a change in direction occurs.This means that, for the tee, the traversal occurs from connect point 1 to theorigin in step 2. At this point the branch flag is positive and so a jump occursto topo 2. On topo 2 we travel from the origin of the tee to connect point 3(which is the branch connect point) in step 3. In step 4 we travel down a pipewhich is the last component on the topo. We then jump back to topo 1 and instep 5 travel from the tee origin to connect point 2. Finally, in the last stepwe traverse the remaining pipe on topo 1. Refer to Figure 4-9 for anillustration of this traversal.

The header topo number can be found by examining the first line in thetraversal. In this case the first line consists of PIPE — occurrence 10.Looking at the network description, observe that PIPE — occurrence 10 is ontopo number 1. This makes topo 1 the header topo.

Figure 4 - 9. Traversal in Example 6

In PDSTRESS terminology one step in the above trace is termed a componentleg. Straight through components like pipe, flanges, and valves consist of oneleg. Change of direction components like elbows, angle valves and so onconsist of two legs. Branch components like tee’s, olets, 3-way and 4-wayvalves and crosses consist of three or four legs. In Example 9, the last leg ofthe tee is given a leg number of 4. By definition only 4-way components havea leg 3 (which would correspond to the 2nd branch leg).

Branches off from components formed by taps are termed branch legs and arenot given a number. Branch legs are treated as other branches are though.When a tapped component is encountered in the network then all the tappedlegs must be traced before continuing down the topo. Although olet typecomponents have a different connect point skeleton than tee’s do they aretreated similarly in the network trace. This is highlighted in the nextexample:

4 - 26 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

Example 7:

The following is a network:

Name Occ cp# Node Topo Branch

90E 8 1 -1 1 0 190E 8 2 1 1 0 2PIPE 10 1 1 1 0 3PIPE 10 2 2 1 7 4PIPE 30001 1 2 1 7 5PIPE 30001 2 -1 1 0 6WOL 6 1 1 2 -4 7WOL 6 2 2 2 0 8PIPE 9 2 2 2 0 9PIPE 9 1 -1 2 0 10

The network trace for this network is:

Name Occ cp in cp out leg

90E 8 1 0 190E 8 0 2 2PIPE 10 1 2 1WOL 6 1 1 1WOL 6 1 2 2PIPE 9 2 1 1WOL 6 1 1 4

In Example 7, the first leg of the olet goes from connect point 1 to connectpoint 1. It is analogous to the step with the tee where traversal goes fromconnect point to the origin. In this case the traversal does not go anywhereand therefore is called a zero length leg. The second leg traverses from cp1 tocp2 — analogous to the previous example’s traversal from the tee origin tocp3. After the branch topo has been traversed we return to the olet for leg 4which again goes from cp1 to cp1 — another zero length leg. This step isanalogous to going from the origin to cp3 in the previous example.

Notice also the traversal through the elbow. Since the elbow causes a changeof direction, it is traversed in two legs: 1) from cp1 to the origin and 2) fromthe origin to cp2.

Sometimes the traversal of the network requires traveling into the branch legof a branch component. When this happens the leg numbers are assignedsomewhat differently on the branch component.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 27

Example 8:

The following is a partial network:

Name Occ cp# Node Topo Branch

.PIPE 10 1 20 4 0 46PIPE 10 2 21 4 0 47T 15 3 21 4 -61 48

In Example 8, a lower numbered topo (topo 4) contains a back pointer to ahigher numbered topo (topo 7). Whenever this happens, the traversal willenter branch.

The trace for this part of the network would be:

Name Occ cp in cp out leg

PIPE 1 0 1 2 1T 15 3 0 1T 15 0 1 2PIPE 1 2 2 1 1T 15 0 2 4PIPE 1 7 2 1 1

In this example, the branch leg of the tee is leg 1 since it is traversed first.Legs 2 and 4 are assigned arbitrarily in this situation and so tracing may goeither way (PDSTRESS has no preference). Refer to Figure 4-10 which showsthis network traversal.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________4.7 Using the HITS Report to Solve Problems

When you have difficulty extracting a line, the first thing you should do inanalyzing the problem is to sketch out the network. Often this is enough toidentify the problem. If the structure in section 4 of the report is incorrect —that is, the topos are not correctly defined and connected or the pointersappear incorrect — then PDSTRESS’s input will be wrong and the drawingwill definitely be incorrect.

When the data structure represented in section 4 of the report is incorrectthen you can conclude that either the interface has a bug or there is aproblem in the model. Typical model problems include such things asdisconnected sections and overlapping components or pipes.

When the modeler has inadvertently placed two pipes on top of each otheryou will get an error message at the top of the HITS report stating this. Themessage will also report a node number where the problem was detected. Bygetting the coordinate of the node you can pinpoint where in the model theproblem occurs. This can also occur where the connect points of componentsoverlap each other and are not properly connected.

Notice that one of the columns in section 4 of the report is called section. In acorrect network all of the topos should have a value of 1 in this column.When the network is composed of multiple disconnected sections, however,some topos will contain a value other than 1. In this case the network foreach section should be sketched out. It should be apparent after doing thiswhere the different sections should have been connected in the model and,therefore, where the trouble spot is.

Another problem that might occur is that components that should all becolinear are not. This is detected by examining the direction list number. Ifthe direction list changes for example from one pipe to another then aproblem exists in the model and the line can not be extracted properly.

Mismatches between the design file and database can also cause isoextraction failures but these types of problems should be trapped andreported adequately in other areas of the software. You should not need torely on the HITS report to find these kinds of problems.

When the data structure in section 4 of the report is correct then thetraversal in section 5 should be examined. Even if the network is correct,some other bug can cause the network traversal to fail. Again, if thetraversal is incorrect then PDSTRESS will definitely fail. When both thenetwork and the traversal are correct, there is most likely a problem withPDSTRESS.

When PDSTRESS is at fault, then one of the following scenarios is true:

1. The drawing appears correct for the most part but some aspect of it isincorrect.

Interpreting the HITS Report 4 - 29

When this happens there is usually some option or combination ofoptions that have been enabled that resulted in the problem. The bestway to find the cause of the problem is to start with a basic drawinggeneration setup that contains few "special" options. Then add a fewoptions at a time until the problem is reproduced. Finally, through aprocess of elimination identify the option that is causing the problem.All failures of this type should be reported to Intergraph.

2. The drawing or one sheet of it is scrambled — a total failure. When thishappens it is usually the case that disabling options will not result inthe drawing working — though sometimes it does. The best thing to dowhen this happens is to try and reextract a smaller portion of the line ifpossible. The failure should also be reported to Intergraph.

When any sheet of an PDSTRESS drawing fails, ALL sheetsfrom the same pipeline may contain errors and are suspect.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5. The Stress Analysis Neutral File

5 - 2 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.1 Neutral File Format

The neutral file produced by the PD_Stress Analysis Interface consists ofeight sections of data. Each section of the file is composed of one or morerecords in the neutral file. Each record is composed of several fields. Fieldsin neutral file records are separated by commas.

Records in each section of the neutral file generally begin with a fixedkeyword. When the neutral file is generated from a metric model file, thekeywords add the prefix M (for example, NODE becomes MNODE).

Different sections of the file are related to each other through pointers. Forexample, temperatures and pressures stored at the segment level in a 3Dmodel are generated in the file section where the record keyword is LOAD.

Data about each component in a network is put in a file section where recordsbegin with PROP. A common text string (the pointer) in each of the recordtypes associates a set of temperatures and pressures with a given component.These pointers keep the file reasonably compact.

The data contained in each section of the neutral file is outlined below:

Section 1 Set of comment records (with an exclamation mark in column one) listingall of the model files and line names used in the extraction. The date andtime of the run is also included.

Section 2 Single record containing fields that identify the run. (Use of this record isnot fully supported at this time.)

Section 3 Several records, each beginning with the keyword LOAD, which contain thetemperatures and pressures of each piping segment in the piping network.

The second field contains a segment ID or pointer that is used to associate aset of temperatures and pressures with a given component. More than oneLOAD record may be generated for a segment depending on how manytemperature/pressure pairs you put on a single record.

Section 4 Records that begin with the keyword LSET. These records specify thetemperature/pressure pair used from each segment when analyzing the linefor different loading conditions (that is, deadweight, cold condition, hotcondition and wind condition cases). The PD_Stress Analysis Interface putsvalues in these records based upon criteria you specified in the defaults file.(Refer to the Defaults File section for more information.)

Section 5 Records beginning with keyword CODE. A CODE record is generated foreach unique value of the analysis code attribute stored in the pipingsegment entities. Each component has a pointer pointing back to one ofthese CODE records.

The Stress Analysis Neutral File 5 - 3

Section 6 Set of records for each component in the network. The first record of each

set is an overall component record. It does not begin with a keyword.Instead, the first field consists of the component name obtained from thePDS to Stress Interface Symbol Map.

The second field contains a component ID or pointer that groups this recordwith the records that follow for the same component. This first record alsocontains network connectivity information through a list of node numberscorresponding to the component. Node numbering conventions forcomponents are discussed later in this section.

Following this first record are a series of records each of which begin withthe keyword PROP. Each PROP record contains the component ID pointingback to the overall component record. Each of these records also has a formtype identifying the data contained on the PROP record.

Data held in PROP records is of two types:

- component type data. For example a bent pipe PROP record mightcontain the bend radius and the bend angle.

- connect point data. This data includes size and schedule. It alsoincludes the segment pointer that associates each connect point withLOAD and LSET records.

Section 7 Records beginning with the keyword LNOD. These records are generatedat equipment nozzles (indicating that the nozzle is an anchor) and whendata associated with a pipe support indicates that the support is acting as anode restraint. When a support acts only as a restraint, the componentrecords are not generated for it. LNOD records define which directionsand/or rotations are restrained at a node.

Section 8 Records beginning with the keyword NODE. These records hold thecoordinate of each node in the network.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2 Detailed Record Descriptions

LOAD LNODLSET NODECODE

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.1 LOAD Record

The general LOAD record format is:

LOAD, segid, i, j, Ti, Pi, ... , Tj, Pj

where:

LOAD is the record keyword (MLOAD for metric models)

segid is a pointer used to associate a LOAD record with each component in thepiping network

i is the subscript of the lowest temperature/pressure pair on the record

j is the subscript of the highest temperature/pressure pair on the record.Record elements i and j define a range of subscripts.

Tn,Pn is a temperature, pressure pair of subscript n

Example

LOAD, 1117654, 1, 3, 100, 150, 100, 175, 300, 200LOAD, 1117654, 4, 6, 175, 200, 175, 250, 225, 250

In this example, the segment ID is 1117654. The first LOAD record definesT,P pairs 1, 2 and 3 while the second LOAD defines T,P pairs 4, 5 and 6.

You can force the interface software to generate a single record containingpairs 1 through 6, though the record would most likely be longer than 80characters.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.2 LSET Record

The general format of the LSET record is as follows:

LSET, segid, s1, s2, s3, s4

where:

5 - 6 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

LSET is the record keyword

segid is the segment pointer used to associate an LSET record with eachcomponent in the piping network

s1 identifies the T,P pair used when analyzing under case 1 conditions (forexample, deadweight)

s2 identifies the T,P pair used when analyzing under case 2 conditions (forexample, hot)

s3 identifies the T,P pair used when analyzing under case 3 conditions (forexample, cold)

s4 identifies the T,P pair used when analyzing under case 4 conditions (forexample, wind)

In the defaults file, you can either hard code the numbers that are actuallyplaced in LSET records for each segment or you can set them based upon thevalue of any attribute stored in the segment. Refer to the Default File sectionfor more information.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.3 CODE Record

The general format of a code record is:

CODE, codeid, string

where:

CODE is the record keyword

codeid is a label used to associate each component in the piping network with aCODE record

string is a string defining the analysis code name

Example

CODE, CODE6, ASME2 1977 B

In this example, the code ID is the string CODE6 formed by appending thecode list number from the segment attribute that defines the code to thecharacters CODE.

The string ASME2 1977 B is defined by you in the defaults. The definitionstates that when the code attribute in the segment is set to code list number6, a given string is generated in the neutral file CODE record.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.4 Component Records

Overall ComponentPROP

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.4.1 Overall Component Record

The general form of the overall component record is:

name, compid, codeid, data, nodes

where:

name is the component name obtained from the PDS to stress interface symbolmap

compid is a label uniquely identifying the component (much the same as thesegment ID uniquely identifies a segment)

codeid is the label pointing back to a particular CODE record

data is a list of component attributes defined by you in the defaults file thatapply to the component as a whole and are not specific to the componenttype. These attributes may come from either the segment or componententities.

nodes is the node list for the component. The node list defines the node numbersfor each node of the component. The number of nodes in the node list is afunction of the component type. The nodes are ordered in the list so thatthe first corresponds to connect point 1, the second to connect point 2 andso on. Refer to the Node Numbering Conventions section for moreinformation.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.4.2 PROP Record

The general form of a PROP record is:

PROP, name, compid, form, data

where:

PROP is the record keyword (MPROP for metric models)

name is the component name and is the same name as appears on the overallcomponent record.

5 - 8 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

compid is the unique ID of the component which also appears on the overall

component record

form is a form number you defined in the defaults file. The component nametogether with the form number uniquely defines the data that follows onthe record.

data is a list of attributes you defined in the defaults file. Each component typeand form number combination has its own set of attributes.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.2.5 LNOD Record

The general format of the LNOD record is:

LNOD, node, type, service, Dx, Dy, Dz, Ax, Ay, Az

where:

LNOD is the record keyword

node is the restrained node number

type identifies the action taking place at the node. Currently the only allowedvalue for this item is RE (for restraint).

Dx is set to 1 if the node is restrained in the x direction and 0 if not

Dy is set to 1 if the node is restrained in the y direction and 0 if not

Dz is set to 1 if the node is restrained in the z direction and 0 if not

Ax is set to 1 if rotation is restrained about the x axis and 0 if not

Ay is set to 1 if rotation is restrained about the y axis and 0 if not

Az is set to 1 if rotation is restrained about the z axis and 0 if not

Using this record requires that movement be restrained in boththe positive and negative directions.

When Intergraph option switch 17 is set to a one a second LNOD record willbe generated with the following format.

LNOD, node, type, service, NX, NY, NZ, AX, AY, AZ

where:

LNOD is the record keyword

node is the restrained node number

The Stress Analysis Neutral File 5 - 9

type identifies the action taking place at the node. Currently, the only allowed

value for this item is MV (for movement).

service identifies the service condition. Currently the only allowed value for thisitem is 1.

NX is the nozzle normal thermal growth in the X direction. Refer to theequipment schema table 22 column 19.

NY is the nozzle normal thermal growth in the Y direction. Refer to theequipment schema table 22 column 20.

NZ is the nozzle normal thermal growth in the Z direction. Refer to theequipment schema table 22 column 21.

5 - 10 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________5.3 Node Numbering Conventions

The last set of fields generated on each overall component record is the nodenumber set for the component. The node number set identifies the nodenumber of each node on a component. The following conventions are used inassigning the node numbers in the set:

Straight through components (pipe, reducer, rigid bodies, flanges, etc.)

Only the connect points are given nodes. These types of componentswill only have two nodes. Internal nodes are never generated.

Straight through valves with hand-wheel operators

Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the valve connect points. Node 3 isgenerated at the valve center. If the valve operator has a center-of-gravity defined, a fourth node is generated at the center-of-gravity.

Tee type components

Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points on the run of the tee.Node 3 is generated at the branch connect point and node 4 is generatedat the center of the tee.

Olet and branch weld type components

Only two nodes are generated, one for each connect point.

Elbows and bent pipe

Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at connect points. Node 3 is generated atthe component origin.

Eccentric reducers

Nodes 1 and 2 correspond to the two connect points. Elements 3, 4, and5 in the node list are the components of a vector that orients the flatside of the reducer.

Two-way valves

Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points. Node 3 is generatedat the component center. If the valve operator has a center of gravity,node 4 is generated at the center of gravity.

Three-way valves

Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points from the run of thevalve. Node 3 is generated at the branch connect point and node 4 isgenerated at the component center. If the valve operator has a center ofgravity defined, node 5 is generated at the center of gravity.

The Stress Analysis Neutral File 5 - 11

Pipe supports

Pipe supports that are not converted to node restraints by the interfacewill have two nodes. The first node is generated at the point that thepipe support attaches to the pipe line. The second node is a dummynode and simply defines an orientation for the support.

To a certain extent, you can control the node numbers assigned to nodes. Youdo this using the defaults file options. The PD_Stress Analysis Interfacedistinguishes between three types of nodes in a piping network:

nodes at connections between components

nodes internal to components (nodes at the center of elbows or valves)

nodes at network endpoints.

You can specify the starting node number for each of the different node types.For nodes at component connections, you can also specify the increment touse in generating the next node number. Refer to the Defaults File sectionfor more information.

The Options File 6 - 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6. The Options File

The options file contains switches, options, and tables that drive the PD_Stress AnalysisInterface. This file gives you considerable flexibility in customizing the stress analysisneutral file.

When the input screen is first displayed on your workstation, this input field contains adefault value obtained by translating the variable name NEUDFLTS. The logical name isdefined at the system level when the Stress Analysis product is installed on your system.You can override this system level assignment (and thus the screen default) by exporting thevariable to your own customized options file.

6 - 2 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.1 Options File Structure

The options file is composed of one set of options and several tables. The option block andeach table is preceded in the options file by a keyword identifying the option or table. Thekeyword must be in upper case and begin in column 1 and should not be surrounded bysingle quotes. The keywords and data that follow them can appear in any order in theoptions file. The end of each table is delimited by the same keyword string prefixed with thecharacters ENDOF.

Comments, identified by an ! in column one, can be placed anywhere between the twokeyword strings which delimit a table. Comments cannot be placed outside of a table.

Entries in tables consist of a row of numbers and sometimes character strings separated bycommas. The general form for tables is:

TABLE_KEYWORDn1, n2, c1, n3, ... !here is a comment.!here is another comment.m1, m2, cm, m3, ...ENDOF TABLE_KEYWORD

where:

TABLE_KEYWORD is the table keyword

n1, n2, ... are numbers in the first table entry

c1 is a character string in the first entry

m1, m2, ... are numbers in the last table entry

cm- is a character string in the last entry

ENDOF TABLE_KEYWORD defines the end of the table

17 0 Do not generate thermal movement for nozzles.1 Generate a record indicating the normal XYZ and alternate XYZ thermal

growth of nozzles. (Refer to the equipment schema table 22 columns 19through 24 for more information)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.2 VENDOR NAME

The vendor name table contains the name of the pipe stress software vendor. Use 40characters maximum for the vendor name. This table is used to associate a particularoptions file with a specific pipe stress package. It results in a record in the neutral file whichcan be checked by the interface software.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.3 EXTERNAL FILES

The files table contains the names of external files used by the stress analysis interface. Use40 characters maximum for each file name. The entries in this table are order dependent.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.3.1 PDS to Stress Symbol Map

This table maps PDS component names to generic stress analysis components. This libraryis required and must be specified. Refer to the PDS to Stress Analysis Symbol Map for moreinformation on the format and contents of the table.

The Options File 6 - 5

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.4 CODE NAME OF CODE PARAMETER DATA TABLE

This table is used to associate a text string with each value of the segment design codeattribute. When the neutral file is generated, this table is entered with the value held intable 12, column 53. If a match is found, the text string from the table is put in the neutralfile CODE record. If no match is found, the code list text is placed in the record.

The format of an entry in this table is:

VAL, STRING

where:

VAL is the code list value from table 12, column 53

STRING is a text string defining the code description, year and seismic level

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.5 LOADING DATA (LOAD) TABLE

This table is used to generate the LOAD records in the neutral file. The format of a tableentry is:

-6, I, J, PATT(I), TATT(I), ... PATT(J), TATT(J)

where:

-6 is a code that indicates to the interface that a segment ID should begenerated in the record. You can not change this number or its positionin the record.

I subscript of the lowest temperature, pressure pair

J subscript of the highest temperature, pressure pair

PATT(n) table, column pair identifying the column for obtaining a pressure fromthe database

TATT(n) table, column pair identifying the column for obtaining a temperaturefrom the database

Example

The table entries below define six different pressure, temperature pairs taken from thedatabase and written to the neutral file for each segment in the piping network:

-6, 1, 3, 12,24, 12,25, 12,26, 12,27, 12,28, 12,29-6, 4, 6, 12,24, 12,25, 12,26, 12,27, 12,30, 12,31

6 - 6 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

The first table entry defines pairs 1 through 3. The second entry defines pairs 4 through 6.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.6 SERVICE LOADING (LSET) TABLE

This table is used to identify the pressure/temperature pairs used from each segment foranalysis under deadweight, hot conditions, cold conditions, and wind loading conditions.

This table allows you to specify the T,P pair used under each of the analysis conditions foreach segment. The simplest case uses the same T,P from each segment for each of thedifferent analysis conditions. A more complicated situation is also allowed where somesegment attribute dictates that a given set of P,T pairs should be used for that specificsegment.

The format of a single entry in this table is:

TABATT, FLAG, VAL, DWT, HOT, COLD, WIND

where:

TABATT table, column pair identifying the attribute from the segment to becompared with VAL. The first table entry contains 0,0 for this item. Thisdefines the default set of T,P pairs to be used. If there are no other tableentries, the same T,P pairs will be used from each segment for allanalysis conditions.

FLAG set to 1 if VAL is a code list numberset to 0 if VAL is not a code list number

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.7 ELEMENT CONNECTIVITY MAP TABLE

This table provides information about each stress analysis generic component. There is oneentry in this table for each generic stress analysis component used in the PDS to stressanalysis symbol map. The format of an element in this table is:

NAME, CAT, NODES, ONODE

where:

NAME generic component name

CAT generic component category. Use one of the following values for category:

1 simple component2 valve3 support

NODES number of nodes the component generates.

ONODE defines which node in the node list is the origin node. If this item is 0, thenno node will be generated for the component origin. This item shouldalways be set so that origin nodes appear in the node list after nodes atconnect points.

Example

Consider the example:

EL, 1, 3, 3

In this example the generic item EL is classed as a simple component. It has three nodes.The node corresponding to the component center will be the third node in the node list on theoverall component record.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________6.2.8 ELEMENT PROPERTY / CONNECTIVITY TABLE

This table forms the overall component records in the neutral file forms the PROP recordscontaining component properties. When the interface generates the records for a component,it first gathers all the entries in this table applying to the component. The generic itemname of the component and the PDS database type (component, pipe, instrument or support)identify the table entries that apply.

The format of an entry in the table is:

NAME, PDSTYP, -1, FORMNO, ATTLST

NAME generic component name obtained from the PDS to stress analysissymbol map

PDSTYP number identifying the component type. You should use one of thefollowing:

1 PDS component is a component or engineered item2 PDS component is a pipe3 PDS component is an instrument4 PDS component is a pipe support

When a generic pipe stress component can be generated from either acomponent or an instrument in the model, there must be a set of entriesin this table for each type.

-1 special flag indicating to the interface that the record will contain acomponent ID. This table entry must be set to -1.

FORMNO data list format number. This number together with the genericcomponent name allows you to identify all of the data on a particularrecord. The Intergraph options file contains form numbers adhering tothe following convention:

0 element connectivity (the overall component rcd)1 general component data2 specific component data3 connect point 1 data4 connect point 2 data5 connect point 3 data6 connect point 4 data

PDS to Stress Analysis Symbol Map 7 - 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________7. PDS to Stress Analysis Symbol Map

The PDS to Stress Analysis Symbol Map is used to map each PDS component to a genericstress analysis component. The table itself is composed of three columns of data that areposition dependent. You can add comments to the table by placing an ! in column 1. A tableentry consists of one row of data. Each column in a row is discussed below.

1. PDS Item Name

The PDS item name is the index into the table. Each PDS item existing in a pipelinemust have an entry for it in this table. As a component is processed, this table issearched for an entry for the current component.

Only the first 4 characters of the item name are used by the symbol map.

2. Stress Analysis Generic Name

The STRESS symbol name is the primary output from this table. The symbol names aretwo characters in length. The Intergraph default generic names include:

3W 3-WAY VALVES4W 4-WAY VALVESAV ANGLE VALVESCR CROSSESEL ELBOWS and MITERSER ECCENTRIC REDUCERSFL FLANGESFX</TA>EXPANSIONJOINTSHA PIPE SUPPORTS and HANGERSPI PIPERB RIGID BODIESRD CONCENTRIC REDUCERSRI BENT PIPETE TEESTF OLETS and BRANCH WELDSVA INLINE VALVES

3. Valve Type Descriptor

Another output from this table is a valve type used for valves only. You can map thevalve type into a PROP record. (Refer to the Defaults File section for more information.)

Warning & Error Messages

This section lists the warning and error messages issued by the various components of thestress analysis software and, when possible, suggests a corrective action.

The messages that are issued by the PD_Stress Analysis Interface are recorded in an errormessage file along with the neutral file when errors occur. If no errors occur, an error file isnot created.

There are two categories of messages issued by the software:

A Warning message indicates an error occurred which may cause a problem in theneutral file. The neutral file should be checked.

An Error message indicates an error occurred and is serious enough to cause extractionto abort. The neutral file is either not produced or incomplete.

A - 4 PDS Stress Analysis Interface Reference Guide - June 1998

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________A.1 Warning Messages

Message # Message/Comment

W1 Reuse counter mismatch

The reuse counter stored in the design file does not match that stored inthe database. This is potentially a serious problem that could indicatethat components in the model are linked to incorrect database records. Itis strongly recommended that the model be analyzed to determine theextent of the problem and to correct the situation.

W2 Standard note not found, default value used

This message indicates there was no note for the code list numbers and ablank (" ") was used. This can be fixed by placing a valid note into theStandard Note Library for that code list number.

W3 Unable to locate stress code, default code used

This message means there was no match in the CODE NAME OF CODEPARAMETER DATA TABLE in the defaults file for thedesign_code_requirements attribute for the segment currently beingextracted. The first record in the table was used instead.

W4 Unable to locate end prep, default end prep used

This message means there was no match in the END PREPARATIONTABLE in the defaults file for the component which is currently beingprocessed. The first record in the table was used to generate the end prepcode.

W5 Component has undefined commodity code

This message indicates that the current component or pipe does not have acommodity code and a blank was used.

W6 Unable to locate fitting type, default fitting type used

This message means there was no match in the FITTINGNOMENCLATURE TABLE in the defaults file for the commodity code ofthe current component.

W7 Nominal piping diameter has been truncated

The text string generated from the nominal piping diameter has exceededthe maximum size allowed in the software and was truncated. ContactIntergraph.

Appendix A: Warning & Error Messages A - 5

W8 Unable to locate hanger type, default hanger type used

This means there was no match in the HANGER TYPE TABLE of thedefaults file for the pipe_support_type attribute of the current pipesupport/hanger and the first entry of the table was used.

W9 Reducer size table not found, default values used

This means there was no reducer size table found in the commoditylibrary and default values were used for flare radius, length and coneangle. This can be fixed by modifying the RD_SIZE.TBL in the/usr/ip32/pdstress/dat directory to contain the needed information andplace it into the commodity library.

W10 Wall thickness table not found, default values used

This message indicates there was no thickness table found in thecommodity library for the current component and zero was used. Thismessage usually occurs on components with schedule thicknesses set toNREQD.

W12 Outside Diameter attribute undefined - Insulation Unit Weightdefaulted to 0.0

This means that Insulation Unit Weight can not be calculated because theoutside diameter for the component or pipe being processed is undefined inthe database. Check all components and pipes in the line being extractedto make sure the outside diameter has a valid value.

W13 Dry Weight attribute undefined - Dry Unit Weight defaulted to 0.0

This means that the dry weight attribute in the database is undefined.Check all components and pipes in the line being extracted to make surethe dry weight has a valid value.

W14 Wet Weight attribute undefined - Wet Unit Weight defaulted to 0.0

This means that the wet weight attribute in the database is undefined.Check all components and pipes in the line being extracted to make surethe wet weight has a valid value.
