Fourthly, a rich library of components and standards: UKP3d9.3 provides a comprehensive set of component and standard libraries, including non-standard pipeline components, cable tray components, building structure components, HVAC components, GD series components, commonly used GB/HG standard components, logical support and hanger point components, various valve components, as well as general table components. These resources cover a wide range of engineering application areas, and they also provide convenient copy templates and interface support to meet users’ diverse design needs. At the same time, the UI interface redesigned based on PDMS further enhances the convenience for users to create component library and level library nodes. V. Detailed Introduction to Key Functions 1. Simplified Process for Creating New Projects When creating a new project, enter the project name and select the project path; then check the desired databases, or choose from the pre-set database combinations recommended by the system, to complete the project creation. 2. The UKP3d10.0 version software, which supports two-way import and export with AVEVA PDMS, is fully compatible with AVEVA PDMS 12.0/12.1/E3D software; it enables two-way import and export of nodes and their attributes. The process for importing AVEVA PDMS projects into UKP3d is as follows. 2.1. Exporting nodes and attributes from AVEVA PDMS: Utilize AVEVA PDMS’ reporting functions to identify the components and levels referenced in the project that need to be exported, and then export the attributes, components, levels, and design library information as txt files from PDMS. 2.2. Import the nodes and attribute files into UKP3d. In UKP3D, import the attributes first, followed by the components and level nodes, and finally the design nodes (since the latter rely on the data of the former, such as levels relying on components). Method for importing at the UKP3D node: Enter [$m file path] in the console (e.g., $m d:\123.txt). 3. Pipe Stress Analysis Property Box: With this upgrade, a dedicated Pipe Stress Analysis Property Box has been designed to display attribute data related to stress analysis, helping users quickly locate and modify key information. 4. Text Report Output: Version 10.0 of UKP3d supports the generation of text reports containing node attributes. Users can select specific nodes and their attribute information to be included in the report as needed. This feature is useful for modifying data in bulk, facilitating data organization and report creation. Operation method: Select the node whose properties are to be exported from the navigation bar, enter TXTREPORT in the command window, then provide the file path, node type and category, as well as the node itself; assign a title to the new report, and this will generate a TXT file containing the attributes of the node. 5. For the custom attribute library, enter Nwe UWRL – New UGRO – New UDA in sequence to create a hierarchy of custom attribute nodes and assign names to them. In the attribute fields, define the type, name, and the node to which the attribute applies (Ulength, Elelist, Utype, Udname). After restarting the software, select the node corresponding to the design library, and the custom attribute will be displayed in the property box. 6. Custom Component Library Hierarchy 6.1 Refinement of the Component Hierarchy Interface The interface of the component hierarchy is divided into seven modules: piping components, structural components, report components, specification tables, connection matching tables, bolts and nuts, and grades, resulting in a clearer and more concise functional classification. 6.2 Optimization of the custom component library function: Taking elbows as an example, custom elbow components are created in UKP3d. 6.2.1 In the component library, sequentially create the custom component node directory CATA — Component Classification SECT — Component Category SDTE ； 6.2.2 Parameters required to create a elbow: diameter, bending radius ； 6.2.3 By sequentially defining the shape set and point set parameters, the creation of the elbow element is completed. 6.2.4 Add the created elbow element to the grade by first creating a custom grade node and then establishing the grade, entering parameters such as temperature and pressure. Click to add a component, and the created elbow can be added to the level. 7. Reverse import of stress analysis files: This version of the software supports the import of GLIF, AutoPSA, and CAESAR II files, enabling the automatic generation of 3D models. This expands the options for data input and enhances the software’s compatibility. Taking the CAESAR II file as an example, to import it into UKP3d to generate a pipeline model, the steps are as follows. After modifying C2, it is converted into a CII file. Pipes (CIl) are created in UKP3d; by selecting multiple items at once, the grade and diameter parameters can be set in bulk, thereby generating the pipe model. 8. Improved permission management: In the management module, the permission management functionality has been enhanced to allow users to set detailed permissions for different node types. This improvement ensures the security of project data, providing a solid foundation for team collaboration.
