Best Practice for

Creating Piping Load Plan Drawing for

Input to Structural Stress Analysis

Piping model in Smart3D goes to CAESARII for stress analysis several times during a
lifecycle of a typical project. Piping Stress Engineer performs stress analysis in CAESARII
and determines location of pipe support required to properly support piping. Typically
pipe supports are attached to structure and hence load conditions for pipe support are also
valid for supporting structure and need to be considered during Structural Stress Analysis.
So Piping Stress Engineer has to provide details about loads on pipe supports as well as
location relative to structure to Structural Stress Engineer from time to time.
Capability to reference stress analysis model from CAESARII into Smart3D as
Reference3D has been in place for a while. Reference3D model generated from CAESARII
has load cases and load information for pipe supports available on load cones (nodes)
exported from CAESARII. Structural analysis can use this information to design structure
for supporting pipe/pipe supports. This document describes workflow to create the Load
Plan Drawing showing location of load cones relative to structural members and loads on
these load cones in a tabular format. Example drawing produced by this procedure is
shown on next page. Structure Stress engineer can easily get location of pipe supports (pipe
supports) and corresponding load information from such drawing.
Setup
Unzip CIILoadCone_Installation.zip.
Copy contents from SharedContent folder to your Symbols share. This will
copy drawing view style and related file, report template to your Symbols
share.
Copy SP3DGetCIIData.dll from Install_Report\dll folder to any folder on
your machine and register this dll using regsvr32.exe.
Use Import Styes, Style Rules and Filters from Automation Toolkit to
import SP3DGetCIIData_Filter.xml.

After importing, filter Catalog Filters\Default Filters\SP3D Drawing

Filters\Types of Drawings\Orthographic\Stress\Caesar LoadNode is
created in Catalog with below definition.

Bulkload Caesar NodeCone Reports.xls file using Append mode to your

Catalog.
Workflow
You will be able to create Orthographic (Composed) drawing showing details of load
cones from CAESARII after going through below steps.

Create a new composed drawing using Drawing Console. Use large size
border template to accommodate view and embedded report.
Create a drawing volume for area of CAESARII R3D model you want to show
in drawing.

Place new drawing view in newly created drawing and associate it to view
style Structural Stress Information.
 Associate above view to the drawing volume created in 3D view. While
associating view with volume, please make sure to use limit filter as shown
below.
 Make sure that Object Type tab in definition of this filter looks like below.

You can also add other Smart3D object types as needed.

 Please select R3D model from CAESAR in Reference 3D tab of above filter.
This will ensure that report view in drawing contains only Load Cones from
CAESAR model only.

Save drawing and update drawing using Update Now.

 Place new Reports View in same drawing. Pick below report template.

Ensure that properties of Reports View look like below.

Associate above Reports View with CIILoadCone orthographic view using

associate command.
Updated drawing looks like below.
