Piping Design 2D/3D Integration
Step (1): Physical Part Selection
In this exercise you will learn how to integrate 2D schematics into your 3D Piping Design.

Physical Part Selection
1. Route a schematic line (U1-P101-2in-CS150R-FG).
2. Route a second line (U1-P101-10in-CS150R-FG).
3. Place a blocking valve into each of the lines.
4. Select the Part Selection command
.
5. Click on the 10in Blocking Valve.
6. The Part Selection panel is displayed.
7. Select the Gate Vale as Part Type.
8. Select the Catalog Part Name and click OK.



9. Repeat the last five steps by selecting the blocking valve in the 2in line.
10. Note: Based on the size in the functional physical mapping table for the specifications, the part
types are different.
11. Based on the part type, the part numbers that are relevant to the selected part type in the
Piping catalog are filtered and available for selection.
12. Using the Edit Properties button (or Alt+Enter) to view the object properties for the blocking
valve; the part type is displayed.
13. You can view the physical properties by selecting the Physical Properties button.

Step (2): Associating 2D/3D Components
In this step you will learn how to associate 3D and 2D components with in your 3D Piping Design.
1. Open the Training Model: …/Data_Student/2D3DIntegration/AA-2D-3D-CVI-V5R8.CATProduct
2. Make sure that the Equipment Arrangement workbench is active.
3. Look for the Equipment Arrangement workbench icon. If it is not displayed, select Start +
Equipment & Systems + Equipment Arrangement.

4. Move the cursor over the Heat Exchanger and click on the middle mouse button; this will
center the Heat Exchanger within your window.
5. Zoom in and rotate the orientation until you get a good view of the open-ended Nozzle.


6. From the main toolbar, select Analyze + Functional-Physical Integration + Analyze
Functional-Physical Integration Status
7. A Schematic has already been associated to this 3D model. If this had not been done, you
would select the Open Schematic Diagram button.
8. Hit the down-arrow and select Equipment.

9. In the schematics viewer, zoom into the Cooler and select it.
10. On the lower half of the window, the ID and the Associated 3D object will be displayed. If
nothing is shown in the Related Physical Objects field, click on EQ-93 in the Functional
Status field.
11. Select the Expand Tree button.
12. In the tree display, note that there are four Nozzles associated to the Cooler.
13. The green check marks indicate that the 2D symbol has already been associated; the red
“X” means it has not.

14. Select the non-associated Nozzle.
15. From the Related Physical Objects field, toggle through the Nozzles.
16. When the open-ended Nozzle is highlighted in the 3D model, select Associate.
17. Expand the 3D tree, the Nozzle will pick up the same ID as the 2D symbol.
18. Note the icon for EQ-93-N-04 has a green check mark.

In this step you will learn how to place Equipment based on your schematic.

1. Schematic-driven Equipment placement
2. Select Tools + Options.
3. Go to Equipment & Systems.
4. Select the Design Criteria tab.
5. Under 3D Design, select Schematic driven.
6. Click OK to confirm.

7. Select the Place Equipment button
; two windows will open.
8. Zoom into the Cooling Liquid Container.
9. Select the Cooling Liquid Container symbol.
10. The Place Equipment window will tell you the part has already been placed.

11. Expand the trees and select EQ-92-N-04.

12. The Place Equipment dialog box will display the Part Type and the Part Number.
13. Select the connector on top of the Vertical Storage Tank.
14. Once the Nozzle is placed, EQ-92-N-04 will get a green check mark.
15. Click the Place Equipment Button to close.

Step (4): Routing from a P&ID
In this step you will learn how to route your Runs based on your schematics.
Routing from P&ID
1. Select Start + Equipment & Systems + Piping Design.
2. Select the Route a Run button
.
3. Select the down-arrow button and click on Logical Line.
4. Zoom to the Line between the Cooler and the Cooling Liquid Container.


5. From the schematic viewer, select one of the segments.
6. A green line will display previewing the path for the Run. For this case, you will not have to
specify the From-To because the Nozzle Functions were associated to the 3D Nozzles in the
previous Steps.
7. Hit the Shift-key to preview other possible paths (Smart Routing).
8. The proper Line ID should also display in the Design Criteria toolbar.

Steps to Route Runs from a Schematic
9. Once a desirable path displays, select the segment from the schematic viewer again.
10. The Run will be generated between the 2 Nozzles in the 3D model.
11. Click OK to close the Run window.

Step (5): Schematic-driven Piping Parts
In this step you will learn how to place primary and secondary schematic-driven Piping Parts.
Place Primary Piping Parts
1. Select the Place Piping Part button
.
2. Zoom in to the Block Valve symbol on the Line created in the previous step.
3. Select the Block valve symbol.
4. Based on the Function-Physical Mapping tables with the CS150R specification, the physical
part type (Gate Valve) that is available displays in the Place Piping Part panel.
5. I f there is more than one part type available, you would select the down-arrow in the Part Type
field.



6. Select a location on the Run built in the previous step.
7. A green line will display on the Run.
8. In the Part selection window, select the first entry.
Note: These names are created when the parts are queried in the Piping Specifications
catalog.
9. Click OK in the Manage Override Parameters window.
10. In parts creation, you can specify which parameters will inherit information from the Run or its
design table. However, in certain cases, not all parameters will be able to do this. This window
allows you to modify the parameter on the fly.

11. After the Gate Valve is placed, go back to the schematic browser and expand the trees for the
Logical Lines.
12. V-051 should have a green check mark indicating that it has been associated to a physical
part.



Place Secondary Piping Parts
13. Secondary Piping parts are those that are usually not displayed on the schematic, such as
Pipe, Elbows, Flanges, etc. To place these, first select the Place Piping Part button.
14. Select the line segment next to the valve (V-051) that was placed in the previous steps.
15. Note that the Function Type is Pipe Function.
16. Select Flange for the Part Type.
17. Select one of the connectors on the Gate Valve.

18. The Flange will place connected to the Gate Valve.


Automatic Parts Placement
19. Go to Tools + Options + Equipment & Systems + Design Criteria.
20.. Under Placement options, select Place automatic parts.
21. By having this option on, CATIA will automatically insert the secondary parts that are called out
in the Piping-Automatic-Parts table.
22. For instance, if a Valve is placed on a Run, then a stretchable Pipe is placed next to it, CATIA
will insert a Gasket, a Flange, and a Weld between the two parts.



23. Select the Place Piping Part button.
24. From the schematic Browser, select the Block Valve Function (V-047) under the Logical Line
U1-501-5in-CS150R-FG.
25. Place the Gate Valve on the Run.
26. Place a Pipe on the same Run segment as the Gate Valve.

Step (6): Check flows
In this step you will learn how to check the flows that have been propagated from 2D.

The defined Flow direction in 2D will be propagated to 3D
1. To check that, click the Manage Flows Button
and select a Line in the Schematic
Browser. In your 3D Model the Flow direction will be displayed. Now you can compare between
2D and 3D.
