AVEVA E3D DESIGN –  Pipe Stress Interface R2 (PSI-R2) | Tips

What is the goal of this additional PSI interface?

The configuration on the E3D side :

To use the interface, additional User Defined Attributes (UDAs) and catalog data are required.

The UDA macro file (lexicon_psi_r2_uda.mac) defines the attributes related to loads and forces. The catalog macro file (paragon_psi_r2_uda.mac) provides parameterized NOZZLE components used to display the geometry of imported pipes.

Both the UDAs and the catalog data are delivered as Database (DB) Listing files. These files can be found in the installation directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AVEVA\Everything3D3.1\asso_products\psi-r2\data

Two DBs must be provided for the Database Listings files:

  • Dictionary DB (type “dict”, access update)
  • lexicon_psi_r2_uda.mac
  • Catalog DB (type “cata”, access multiwrite)
  • paragon_psi_r2_uda.mac

Note:
Make sure that the DBs are included in every MDB.

Note:
Uninstall PSI and PSI-R2 before installing AVEVA E3D Design 3.1.2 and any later update releases.
