Using the Smart 3D Tribon Interface, you can import structural Tribon Initial Design data(defined in XML format) into Intergraph SmartTM3D. The imported Tribon data is backgroundstructure used for planning and outfitting work. Smart 3D only supports XML in Schema V3format, which is output by the Basic Design modules of Tribon Initial Design M3 (Version 1.3).

The Intergraph SmartTM3D Tribon Interface(SEBY812AG) is a separately purchasableproduct from Intergraph that you can add to a Smart 3D installation. Therefore, prior to installingthe Smart 3D Tribon Interface, verify that Smart 3D has been installed. You cannot install theSmart 3D Tribon Interface without first having installed Smart 3D.

After you install Smart 3D Tribon Interface, the File> Import> Ship Structurecommand isavailable in the Molded Forms and Structural Detailing tasks to import Tribon XML files. Variousimport options are defined in an initialization file, TribonImport.ini, delivered in the [Reference

Data Folder]\SharedContent\Data\TribonTranslators\MappingFiles folder. For more informationabout the initialization file, see Tribon Import Initialization File(on page15). To ensure thatprofile cross sections and materials are mapped between Smart 3D and Tribon, you need toprovide a mapping spreadsheet. For more information, see Import Translation Map Workbook(on page23). During the import, a log file is generated in the system temp folder. The log fileprovides information about the objects that failed to import. For more information on importingTribon data into Smart 3D, see Import Ship Structure(on page20).

In some cases, the data in the Tribon XML files must be repaired. A custom command isprovided for this repair process. You can re-import the data into Smart 3D after repairing it.

The integrity of the source data is the responsibility of the generating software (inthis case, Tribon). Users who repair the data with the custom command assume liability andresponsibility for the results. Intergraph does not assume any liability for the data modifications.

S E C T I O N 2

The File> Import> Ship Structurecommand, available in the Molded Forms and StructuralDetailing tasks, imports the following objects from the Tribon XML file:

Impor ted Tribon Object Similar Smart 3D Object

Cutout Sketched feature (Structural Detailing)

Notch Edge or corner feature (Structural Detailing)

Seam Design seam (Molded Forms), straking seam (StructuralDetailing), planning seam (Planning)

Hole Opening (Molded Forms), hole (Hole Management)

Plate part Plate part, child to plate system (Molded Forms)

Bracket Bracket (Molded Forms, Structural Detailing)

Face plate Plate part (Structural Detailing)

Stiffener part Profile stiffener part, child to profile stiffener system (MoldedForms)

Pillar Beam (Molded Forms)

Flange Edge reinforcement (Molded Forms, Structural Detailing)

The imported objects are created in a persistent system hierarchy that you cannot modify afterthe import. The objects are background structure used for planning and outfitting work. For moreinformation on the imported data, see XML Data Descriptions(on page25).

You cannot copy, paste, or move imported ship structure objects in Smart 3D.

In addition to data objects, you can optionally import several grouping nodes. These nodesappear in the hierarchy on the Systemtab in the Workspace Explorer, but do not appear ontheAssembly tab. The following grouping types of objects are available from the imported data:

Root Node (block)

Assembly Node (curved panel or plane panel)

Mapping Imported Tribon Data to Smart 3D Data

Because Tribon and Smart 3D often use different names for their cross sections and materials,you need to map the information between the two applications using the Microsoft Excelworkbook delivered in [Reference Data

Importing Data from Tribon



18/53


Folder]\SharedContent\Data\TribonTranslator\MappingFiles\SM_Mapping.xls. This workbookprovides the initial mapping between material and cross section names.

Because different sources can require different mappings, you can customize SM_Mapping.xlsto change the mapping during the import of the XML. For more information, see ImportTranslation Map Workbook(on page23).

Filtering Imported Tribon Data

When you click Tools> Select by Filter, you can use the Object Typetab on the FilterPropertiesdialog box and navigate to Ship Structure (Imported)in the tree view. You canthen customize filters to include the needed Tribon objects.

Copying and Pasting Tribon Data

You cannot copy and paste imported Tribon objects.

Modifying Imported Tribon Data

You cannot modify imported Tribon objects in the Molded Forms or Structural Detailing tasks. If

modifications are needed, you must modify the objects in Tribon and re-import an XML file. Themodified objects will be re-imported, replacing the objects from the original import.

In addition, all property data imported from Tribon is read- only, except for the name. You can,however, add custom properties to the schema and edit those custom properties after the importoperation. The name can be changed on the Propertiesdialog box of the imported object.

Deleting Imported Tribon Data

You can delete individual plates, brackets, or other imported objects from the model. However, ifyou re-import the XML file that contained the original objects, all the deleted objects will re-appear in the model.

Managing Imported Tribon Data in the Planning task

You can assign Tribon objects to assemblies and blocks in the Planning task. You can do thismanually or by using the Block Assignmentcommand. If Tribon grouping nodes are imported,they only appear on the Systemtab in the Workspace Explorer, and cannot be used in thePlanning task.

When doing a re-import of the Tribon data, the software does not change the Smart 3Drelationships within the Planning task (assembly/block assignments). Only plate parts, brackets,stiffener parts, pillars, face plates, and flanges are available for management in the Planningtask.

If you set theAssignImportedPartsToPlanningAssemblyoption in the initialization (.ini) file to1, when you import a Tribon XML file, a Planning assembly is created for each Tribon block inthe XML file and all the parts under the block are assigned to the corresponding assembly. Youcan manually modify these assemblies if needed. When you re-import the XML file, you must set

theAss ignImportedPartsToPlanningAssembly value to 0 in order to retain the manualchanges done for the assemblies. If you fail to take the above precaution, the manually assignedparts are reassigned to the corresponding planning assembly with respect to the Tribon block inthe XML file. For more information, see Tribon Import Initialization File(on page15).

If you set theAssignImpor tedPartsToPlanningAssembly option to 1, you mustcreate the B0 planning root block before the import operation so that the software automaticallycreates planning assemblies during the import of the Tribon XML file.

Referencing Imported Tribon Data

Although the imported objects are read-only, they can be used for all referencing functionalitysuch as:

Placing a support on an imported profile in the Hangers and Supports task.

Connecting a hanger to an imported object in the Hangers and Supports task.

Placing a penetration hole trace on an imported plate, but not actually cutting the importedplate, in the Hole Management task.

Placing equipment with mating relationships to imported objects in the Equipment andFurnishings task.

Finding interferences between imported objects and Smart 3D objects by interferencechecking (both local and server).

Generating drawings and reports that include imported data in drawings in the Drawings and

Reports task.

Systems created in the Molded Forms task and parts created in the Structural Detailing taskcannot use imported objects as references or boundaries.

Imported objects cannot be detailed in the Structural Detailing task or manufactured in theStructural Manufacturing task.

At tr ibute Naming Between Smart 3D and Imported St ructure

In Smart 3D, plate and profile parts have attributes on their edges, faces, and vertices. Whenobjects are connected, the needed attributes are associated with the connection.

Because imported structure cannot be modified in Smart 3D, it is typically used as backgroundstructure for equipment, piping, and other outfitting. As a result, connections are createdbetween Smart 3D outfitting and the imported structure. Attributes are also needed for theimported structure. The unique ObjId and CompId of plate Limit, NotchRef, CutoutRef, andHoleRef attributes are used to name edges and vertices. Edges are collected to name platefaces. For stiffeners, cross-sections from the catalog are also used to name the edges, faces,and vertices. These names must remain consistent so that the structure is properly processed if

it is re-imported, and connections and connected outfitting are not deleted.
