Up until E3D Series 3, exporting IFC files was limited by the number of elements that could be processed, because the application was still running in 32‑bit. We tested to export a Site containing more than 10,000 elements, and the export was not possible due to this limitation. With E3D Series 4 (Unified Engineering), this […]
At the moment, there is no dedicated tool or attribute that directly provides the internal volume of a pipe. However, a pseudo‑attribute can be used to approximate it: BRWWEI. This pseudo‑attribute returns the wet weight of the pipe (or branch or individual component, depending on the current CE), meaning the weight including the fluid. The
In earlier versions, the Old Bolt Calculation Method did not include support for bolt weights. The attributes BLTWEIGHT and BWEIGHT were introduced later to provide this functionality. An example from the legacy Aveva PDMS documentation is shown below: Resolution Bolt Weights can be set using BLTWEIGHT attribute at SBOL element and BWEIGHT attribute at DTAB
What is the goal of this additional PSI interface? This interface is to create this two-way exchange from AVEVA E3D Design and the Rohr2 (https://www.rohr2.com/en/rohr2.html), the European Software for Pipe Stress Analysis The configuration on the E3D side : To use the interface, additional User Defined Attributes (UDAs) and catalog data are required. The UDA
Issue Some types of instruments can be installed directly on the pipe without needing to cut it. The problem is that if they are modeled as INST components, the pipe will be split into two segments. A typical example is clamp‑on ultrasonic flow meters. Cause There are no INST SKEYs that do not split the
There is currently no pseudo‑attribute available that can return the external surface area of insulation. As a workaround, you can create a pseudo‑type UDA linked to a PML function that performs an approximate calculation. For example, you could approximate the entire branch as a cylinder. Then compute the outer diameter and multiply it by the
To call a function compiled in a DLL using a PML command — for example AVEVA.View.ZoomTo.Selection — here is some useful information: The native object !!cmsys can execute code provided as a string. Therefore, the simplest approach is to run the command using the following format:!!cmsys.executeCommand(‘AVEVA.View.ZoomTo.Selection’)
