________________ Introduction
1. Introduction
The PD_Stress Analysis Interface product generates neutral output files from three-
dimensional (3D) piping models created by PDS modeling packages as input for third party
stress analysis packages.
The neutral file can be run on your own in-house pipe stress software or on any other
commercially available package capable of processing the Intergraph neutral file. Because of
its flexibility, you can change the contents of the neutral file and customize it for your specific
use.
The STRINP file collects user input and creates the ASCII file STRDEF.DAT which contains
the options file NEUDFLTS. This options file contains switches, options and tables allowing
you to control the information the Stress Analysis Interface enters into the neutral file. (Refer
to the Options File section for more information on the contents of the options.) The STRINP
file then displays the Stress Analysis Interface form allowing you to enter data to the ASCII
file pdsstr.dat.
17
________________
PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
From the pdsstr.dat file, the Stress Analysis Interface reads the involved piping and
equipment models, the pipeline names or stress ID and the options file.
The PDSSTR file then reads the 3D piping model and generates the stress analysis neutral
files.

________________ PDS Environment
2. PDS Environment
The PDS 3D software supports a variety of applications. All the supported applications use a
common interface that is controlled by the PD Shell program. This ensures consistency
across applications and minimizes the amount of time required to learn the product.
The PDS 3D modules provide a simple user interface through extensive use of forms. The
modules also provide an on-line Help capability for easy access to information while working
in the product.
The PDS 3D software uses available nucleus tools such as MicroStation and FORMS. It
supports standard software such as NFS, NQS, and RIS required to set up data across a
network. This design facilitates the use of non-PDS tools such as relational databases and
third party software.
The PD_Shell Environment and all batch jobs in the PDS 3D products interface to
Intergraph’s Network Licensing System.

2.1 PD Shell
The PD Shell program provides access to the various functions that are associated with the
PDS 3D Modules. You can access the Plant Design System Environment form by
This executes a control script that defines all of the environment variables that are needed to
run the product, and it identifies the location of the product files. These files can be located
on the workstation or a server on the network. See pds.cmd for more information on this file.
The script also activates the Plant Design System Environment form.
This form identifies the active project(s) and provides access to all the PDS functions.

the Interference Manager module.
If access control has been defined, you must key in a valid user ID as defined by your
system manager to gain access to the projects.
If access control has not been defined, no entry is required for this field.
Project List Field — Displays the defined projects for the network and allows you to
select the active project. The system lists all the defined PDS projects (2D-only, 3D-
only, and 2D & 3D). An error is displayed if you select an option that is incompatible
with the active project. For example, if the active project is a 2D-only project, you
cannot access the the Interference Manager module.
If access control has been defined, only those projects for which you have some level of
access are displayed.
Message Area — Displays prompts and messages that are associated with the active
process. Error messages are displayed in red.
PDS 3D uses these batch queues to allow you to continue working in the environment while
the system processes a request. Many of the batch processes can be delayed for submission at
a specified time.
When you submit a batch process the system sends an electronic mail message to the mail
path of the default login reporting the jobs completion status. The mail message also includes
any error log information. The setup of this functionality is optional on Windows NT.
22
________________ The Options File
When the input screen is first displayed on your workstation, this input field contains a default value obtained
by translating the variable name NEUDFLTS. The logical name is defined at the system level when the Stress
Analysis product is installed on your system. You can override this system level assignment (and thus the
screen default) by exporting the variable to your own customized options file.

PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
The first model number entered is considered to be the primary file and must be a Piping file
and NOT an Equipment Modeling file. Any reference database (RDB) data accessed during
stress analysis is obtained via the primary model (through its type 63 data).
RDB data accessed by the PD_Stress Analysis Interface product and properly attached to the
primary file includes:
Material/Specification Database
A Model No is considered invalid if the number is longer than fourteen characters or if the
number contains a underbar (_) characters or if it does not exist in the project database.
An empty carriage return in any of these fields moves the cursor to the Pipeline Names field.
46
________________ Pipeline Names
The specified lines must be connected in the Piping model files. Because you are specifying a
network of piping segments, you must not specify multiple disconnected piping sections such
as vessel trim piping. For the lines to be connected, the segments that form these lines must
also be connected.
You can identify the pipelines you want to extract by line name substring or by Stress
Analysis ID. The method you choose depends on the options you set in the options file.
In either method, you identify the piping network to extract by specifying piping segment
attributes. Piping segments usually correspond only to sections of piping and not to an entire
pipeline (unless the line is trivial). Enter the pipeline name(s) in the available fields.
An empty carriage return in any of these fields moves the cursor to the Stress Output Node
field.
Example 1
If the line name is 6IN-OWS10111-1C0031, you can use the substring OWS10111 to identify
this line. You may not want to use 1C0031 because it is the spec name component of the line
name and it would identify more than one line in the model. Likewise, you might not want to
use 6IN-OWS10111 because it will only extract sections that have a NPD of 6 inches. This
could be a problem if multiple 6 inch sections are connected together by sections that are not 6
inches.
The line name substring you want to extract, exists with lines that are similarly named
in the same models.
The substring you want to extract is also a substring of another line name.
47
________________
PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
Example 2
If the line that you want to extract is 8IN-OWS1011-1C0031 and you use the substring
OWS1011, you inadvertently specified that you want to extract 6IN-OWS10111-1C0031
because OWS1011 is a substring of OWS10111.
specify a larger substring of the line name for the line you want to extract.
Branch components like olets are owned by the header to which they are attached. For
an identified line, all of the olets (or olet-like components) are extracted with that line.
It is not necessary to break the segment underneath the olet and change the line name so
that the header owns it.
Branch components like tee’s (for example, tee’s, 3-way valves) are also owned by the
header. The header is defined as the part of the line that contains the run of the tee
(from connect point 1 to connect point 2). Again, it is not necessary to break the
segment underneath the branch of the component and give it the header line name.

________________ The Stress Analysis Neutral File
Records in each section of the neutral file generally begin with a fixed keyword. When the
neutral file is generated from a metric model file, the keywords add the prefix M (for example,
NODE becomes MNODE).
Different sections of the file are related to each other through pointers. For example,
temperatures and pressures stored at the segment level in a 3D model are generated in the file
section where the record keyword is LOAD.
Data about each component in a network is put in a file section where records begin with
PROP. A common text string (the pointer) in each of the record types associates a set of
temperatures and pressures with a given component. These pointers keep the file reasonably
compact.
The data contained in each section of the neutral file is outlined below:
Section 1 Set of comment records (with an exclamation mark in column one) listing all of the
model files and line names used in the extraction. The date and time of the run is also
included.
Section 2 Single record containing fields that identify the run. (Use of this record is not fully
supported at this time.)
Section 3 Several records, each beginning with the keyword LOAD, which contain the
temperatures and pressures of each piping segment in the piping network.
The second field contains a segment ID or pointer that is used to associate a set of
temperatures and pressures with a given component. More than one LOAD record may
be generated for a segment depending on how many temperature/pressure pairs you put
on a single record.
Section 4 Records that begin with the keyword LSET. These records specify the
temperature/pressure pair used from each segment when analyzing the line for different
loading conditions (that is, deadweight, cold condition, hot condition and wind
condition cases). The PD_Stress Analysis Interface puts values in these records based
upon criteria you specified in the options file. (Refer to the Options File section for
more information.)
51
________________
PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
Section 5 Records beginning with keyword CODE. A CODE record is generated for each unique
value of the analysis code attribute stored in the piping segment entities. Each
component has a pointer pointing back to one of these CODE records.
Section 6 Set of records for each component in the network. The first record of each set is an
overall component record. It does not begin with a keyword. Instead, the first field
consists of the component name obtained from the PDS to Stress Interface Symbol
Map.
The second field contains a component ID or pointer that groups this record with the
records that follow for the same component. This first record also contains network
connectivity information through a list of node numbers corresponding to the
component. Node numbering conventions for components are discussed later in this
section.
Following this first record are a series of records each of which begin with the keyword
PROP. Each PROP record contains the component ID pointing back to the overall
component record. Each of these records also has a form type identifying the data
contained on the PROP record.
- component type data. For example a bent pipe PROP record might contain the
bend radius and the bend angle.
- connect point data. This data includes size and schedule. It also includes the
segment pointer that associates each connect point with LOAD and LSET records.
Section 7 Records beginning with the keyword LNOD. These records are generated at equipment
nozzles (indicating that the nozzle is an anchor) and when data associated with a pipe
support indicates that the support is acting as a node restraint. When a support acts only
as a restraint, the component records are not generated for it. LNOD records define
which directions and/or rotations are restrained at a node.
Section 8 Records beginning with the keyword NODE. These records hold the coordinate of each
node in the network.

________________ Node Numbering Conventions
Only the connect points are given nodes. These types of components will only have
two nodes. Internal nodes are never generated.
Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the valve connect points. Node 3 is generated at the
valve center. If the valve operator has a center-of-gravity defined, a fourth node is
generated at the center-of-gravity.
Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points on the run of the tee. Node 3 is
generated at the branch connect point and node 4 is generated at the center of the tee.
Only two nodes are generated, one for each connect point.
Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at connect points. Node 3 is generated at the component
origin.
Eccentric reducers
Nodes 1 and 2 correspond to the two connect points. Elements 3, 4, and 5 in the node
list are the components of a vector that orients the flat side of the reducer.
Two-way valves
Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points. Node 3 is generated at the
component center. If the valve operator has a center of gravity, node 4 is generated at
the center of gravity.
Three-way valves
Nodes 1 and 2 are generated at the connect points from the run of the valve. Node 3 is
generated at the branch connect point and node 4 is generated at the component center.
If the valve operator has a center of gravity defined, node 5 is generated at the center of
gravity.

Pipe supports
Pipe supports that are not converted to node restraints by the interface will have two
nodes. The first node is generated at the point that the pipe support attaches to the pipe
line. The second node is a dummy node and simply defines an orientation for the
support.
To a certain extent, you can control the node numbers assigned to nodes. You do this using
the options file options. The PD_Stress Analysis Interface distinguishes between three types
of nodes in a piping network:
You can specify the starting node number for each of the different node types. For nodes at
component connections, you can also specify the increment to use in generating the next node
number. Refer to the Options File section for more information.

________________ Interpreting the HITS Report
The HITS report filename is formed from the output isometric design filename. Isometric
design filename is concatenated with the file extension .h. For example, if the isometric
design filename is OWS1101.ISO then the HITS report filename will be OWS1101.h. The
report is created in the default directory at the time the iso is created.
One of the options in the PDSTRESS interface options file allows you to generate a HITS
report only and not an intermediate data file (IDF). You may not always want to generate an
IDF with a HITS report. The run time to generate both an IDF and a HITS report is
significantly longer than the run time to generate a HITS report only.

occ The component database occurrence number (excluding the partition number).
Note that some PIPE components have an occurrence number greater than 30000. This
occurs whenever olet type components are attached to a pipe. The software breaks these
pipes into multiple sections. The newly created pieces of pipe receive occurrence
numbers in the 30000+ range to distinguish them from the original pipe.

origin
node A node number assigned to all connect points other than the origin. A special node
number, -1, is reserved for line endpoints. Two connect points that have the same node
number are connected to each other in the model.
direct A direction list number. The direction list number identifies all those connect points that
lie together on a straight line.
sg_occ The segment occurrence number. All connect points belong to or are owned by a
segment in the piping model. This is the occurrence number of that owner segment.

PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
The last statement in section 3 states how many disconnected sections of piping exist in the
network identified in the database search criteria. If the number of sections is greater than 1
then the line is not extracted and the intermediate data file is not generated. PDSTRESS does
not allow multiple, disconnected sections of piping to be extracted into a single iso.
The following is a list of possible reasons why a network might be disconnected and some
suggested solutions:
1. The database search criteria identified more than one pipeline and the pipelines are not
connected together. The solution here is to change the search criteria so that only the
piping that you really want to extract is pulled in.
2. The pipeline being extracted is incomplete and portions of it do not have components
on it. The solution is to place all of the components on the line.
3. Although the line is finished, there is a part of it that appears to be connected but really
is not. To be considered connected, the connect points from two different components
must be within about 20 uors of each other.
In this case you should examine section 2 of the HITS report to find a connect point
whose node number is -1 (which indicates that it is a line endpoint) even though you
know it should be connected to something. This is usually quite simple when the line is
small. When you find the connect point, use the coordinate to view and repair the
disconnected graphics. When the line is complicated, you can use section 4 of the HITS
report (see the section Tracing Data) to make a sketch that identifies the disconnected
point.

A topo is a construction used to group the data representing the pipeline topology. By
definition a topo is a string of piping that starts at a network endpoint or a branch point and
ends at a network endpoint or another branch point. A pipeline network may consist of a
single topo or dozens of topos depending upon its configuration.

The line in Figure 4-3 contains three topos because there are two branches in it. The first topo
again consists of the line from endpoint 1 to endpoint 2. The second topo consists of the line
from connect point 1 of weldolet 1 to endpoint 3. The third topo consists of the line from
connect point 1 of weldolet 2 to endpoint 4.

PDSTRESS also requires that the traversal of the network be branch first order. This means
that whenever a branch is encountered in the network, the traversal must head down the
branch before continuing down the header.
To traverse the network in branch first order manner you start on the header topo and travel
connect point by connect point until the value of branch is greater than 0 at some node. When
branch is positive then you jump down to the new topo and start traversing it until you come
to another branch or to the end. If you encounter another branch then you must jump again to
another topo. When the end of the topo is found then you return to the topo from which you
jumped and continue tracing.

When the data structure represented in section 4 of the report is incorrect then you can
conclude that either the interface has a bug or there is a problem in the model. Typical model
problems include such things as disconnected sections and overlapping components or pipes.
When the modeler has inadvertently placed two pipes on top of each other you will get an
error message at the top of the HITS report stating this. The message will also report a node
number where the problem was detected. By getting the coordinate of the node you can
pinpoint where in the model the problem occurs. This can also occur where the connect
points of components overlap each other and are not properly connected.
Notice that one of the columns in section 4 of the report is called section. In a correct network
all of the topos should have a value of 1 in this column. When the network is composed of
multiple disconnected sections, however, some topos will contain a value other than 1. In this
case the network for each section should be sketched out. It should be apparent after doing
this where the different sections should have been connected in the model and, therefore,
where the trouble spot is.
Another problem that might occur is that components that should all be colinear are not. This
is detected by examining the direction list number. If the direction list changes for example
from one pipe to another then a problem exists in the model and the line can not be extracted
properly.
Mismatches between the design file and database can also cause iso extraction failures but
these types of problems should be trapped and reported adequately in other areas of the
software. You should not need to rely on the HITS report to find these kinds of problems.
When the data structure in section 4 of the report is correct then the traversal in section 5
should be examined. Even if the network is correct, some other bug can cause the network
traversal to fail. Again, if the traversal is incorrect then PDSTRESS will definitely fail.
When both the network and the traversal are correct, there is most likely a problem with
PDSTRESS.
1. The drawing appears correct for the most part but some aspect of it is incorrect.
When this happens there is usually some option or combination of options that have
been enabled that resulted in the problem. The best way to find the cause of the
problem is to start with a basic drawing generation setup that contains few "special"
options. Then add a few options at a time until the problem is reproduced. Finally,
86
________________ Using the HITS Report to Solve Problems
through a process of elimination identify the option that is causing the problem. All
failures of this type should be reported to Intergraph.
2. The drawing or one sheet of it is scrambled — a total failure. When this happens it is
usually the case that disabling options will not result in the drawing working — though
sometimes it does. The best thing to do when this happens is to try and reextract a
smaller portion of the line if possible. The failure should also be reported to Intergraph.
When any sheet of an PDSTRESS drawing fails, ALL sheets from the same
pipeline may contain errors and are suspect.

Appendix C: PDS to Stress Analysis Symbol Map Table
The PDS item name is the index into the table. Each PDS item existing in a pipeline must have an entry for
it in this table. As a component is processed, this table is searched for an entry for the current component.
Only the first 6 characters of the item name are used by the symbol map.
The STRESS symbol name is the primary output from this table. The symbol names are two characters in
length. The Intergraph default generic names include:

________________ Appendix D: Warning & Error Messages
The messages that are issued by the PD_Stress Analysis Interface are recorded in an error message file along
with the neutral file when errors occur. If no errors occur, an error file is not created.
A Warning message indicates an error occurred which may cause a problem in the neutral file. The
neutral file should be checked.
An Error message indicates an error occurred and is serious enough to cause extraction to abort. The
neutral file is either not produced or incomplete.
149
________________
PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
The reuse counter stored in the design file does not match that stored in the database.
This is potentially a serious problem that could indicate that components in the model
are linked to incorrect database records. It is strongly recommended that the model be
analyzed to determine the extent of the problem and to correct the situation.
This message indicates there was no note for the code list numbers and a blank (" ")
was used. This can be fixed by placing a valid note into the Standard Note Library for
that code list number.
This message means there was no match in the CODE NAME OF CODE
PARAMETER DATA TABLE in the options file for the design_code_requirements
attribute for the segment currently being extracted. The first record in the table was
used instead.
This message means there was no match in the END PREPARATION TABLE in the
options file for the component which is currently being processed. The first record in
the table was used to generate the end prep code.
This message indicates that the current component or pipe does not have a commodity
code and a blank was used.
The text string generated from the nominal piping diameter has exceeded the
maximum size allowed in the software and was truncated. Contact Intergraph.
150
________________ Appendix D: Warning Messages
This means there was no match in the HANGER TYPE TABLE of the options file for
the pipe_support_type attribute of the current pipe support/hanger and the first entry
of the table was used.
This means there was no reducer size table found in the commodity library and
default values were used for flare radius, length and cone angle. This can be fixed by
modifying the RD_SIZE.TBL in the win32app\ingr\pdstress\dat directory to
contain the needed information and place it into the commodity library.
This message indicates there was no thickness table found in the commodity library
for the current component and zero was used. This message usually occurs on
components with schedule thicknesses set to NREQD.
W12 Outside Diameter attribute undefined - Insulation Unit Weight defaulted to 0.0
This means that Insulation Unit Weight can not be calculated because the outside
diameter for the component or pipe being processed is undefined in the database.
Check all components and pipes in the line being extracted to make sure the outside
diameter has a valid value.
W13 Dry Weight attribute undefined - Dry Unit Weight defaulted to 0.0
This means that the dry weight attribute in the database is undefined. Check all
components and pipes in the line being extracted to make sure the dry weight has a
valid value.
W14 Wet Weight attribute undefined - Wet Unit Weight defaulted to 0.0
This means that the wet weight attribute in the database is undefined. Check all
components and pipes in the line being extracted to make sure the wet weight has a
valid value.

PDS Stress Analysis Interface User’s Guide - July 2001
coordinate system A geometric relation used to denote the location of points in the design
cube. The most common coordinate system is the rectangular coordinate
system, whereby points are located by traversing the X, Y, and Z axes of the
design cube. Normally, coordinate systems have their origin defined as
0,0,0, though this is not required. Other coordinate systems are used to more
easily express the coordinates of specific geometric entities. For example,
you can use a spherical coordinate system to help define points on a sphere,
and you can use a cylindrical coordinate system to help define points on a
cylinder.
coordinates An ordered set of absolute or relative data values that specify a location in a
coordinate system.
core files The image files written by System V for a number of reasons, the most
common of which are memory violations, illegal instructions, bus errors,
and user-generated quit signals.
cursor The pointer that the user moves on the screen to indicate an item or area.
data button The mouse button used to place data points and tentative points, to accept
previously selected elements, and to select commands from forms and
menus.
data entry field The field on a screen used to accept user-supplied data. Also known as
key-in field.
data point A point placed by pressing the data button on the mouse. Data points select
commands from the panel menus and Menu Bar, place elements, identify
and accept elements, and activate windows and perform window
manipulations.
database table The part of the database that is made of rows and columns and contains
information about the project and design elements.
158
________________ Glossary
display-list box A small box with horizontal dashes located at the end of a form key-in field.
When selected, a list of the data available for that field is displayed. Input
can then be selected from the list with a data point instead of keying in the
information.
dragging Another term for the dynamic function that attaches the cursor to an element
so you can see it move.
easting A term used in plane surveying that describes an east, or positive, difference
in longitude.
entity An object (project, drawing, element, and so forth.) of interest about which
information is stored; a relational database table.
file specification A UNIX path name that tells the system where to locate a file.
filename A user-defined name given to an interactively created file. The name should
be relevant to the contents of the file.
form An interface or screen menu designed with the I/FORMS product. Because
many of the screen menus in the application software are built with
I/FORMS, you must have the FORMS_S product on your workstation.
full path name The name of the entire path or directory hierarchy to a file, including the file
name. See also relative path name.
header The first items of information in a file which precede any actual data. The
header contains information on the structure and contents of the file.
159

invert elevation The lowest point on the internal diameter of the pipe.
key-in field The field on a screen used to accept user-supplied data. Also known as a
data entry field.
menubar The strip at the top of the screen that contains icons for selecting
commands.
message area The area that appears in the MicroStation Command Window when you are
working in a design file. It is divided into the Command Status field, the
Current Command field, the Prompt field, and the Key-in field.
NFS Network File System, the system that provides access to data that is
distributed among machines through an interconnection of host computers
and workstations. NFS allows you to mount a remote resource to your local
workstation so you can access the data as though it were local. NFS is
usually used to access centralized data on a server.
node address The hard-wired Ethernet address assigned to each node when it is
manufactured. It is necessary for each node to identify and communicate
with another node in the network.
node name A name, or alias, that can be assigned to the node address of a device on a
network.
northing A term used to describe a north coordinate location in the plant coordinate
system.
160
________________ Glossary
nozzle A special equipment modeling primitive that contains the connection point
to piping. This point does NOT include a gasket allowance, but rather
represents the face-of-flange coordinate.
NQS Network Queuing System, the software package that allows you to define
network-wide batch and device queues. Use of NQS involves setting up
local resource queues on the system(s) where the resources reside and
setting up ‘‘pipe queues’’ on the systems that are to have access to the
resources.
origin In coordinate geometry, the point where the x, y, and z-axes intersect.
orthogonal view A view which is a projection of the model onto a plane along lines which
are orthogonal to the plane.
path name The sequence of directories leading to a file. See also absolute path name
and relative path name.
pipe queue A controlled channel for moving requests to batch or device queues on
remote systems and for receiving status and/or data in response.
place data point To identify a specific element, or indicate a specific point in the design file.
plane A spatial element in geometry that may or may not have a boundary, but is
level, having no elevations or depressions, and is three-dimensional.
relative path name The sequence of directories leading from the current directory to a particular
file. See also path name and absolute path name.
161

row A unit of related information in a table. One collection of column values for
a table.
rubberbanding The animation dynamic that enables you to specify the position of a data
point while the element changes as you move the cursor.
schema file A file that outlines the overall logical structure of a rule base or a database.
server In network operations, the node which maintains common data or performs
a common task needed by clients. All network operations (database, NFS,
NQS) between two or more nodes establish a client/server relationship.
Structured Query Language developed by IBM for creating, modifying, and querying
Language SQL relational databases.
symbology The display style of an element, including color, style, and weight.
table A collection of data for quick reference, either stored in sequential locations
in memory or printed as an array of rows and columns of data items of the
same type.
values Data, either entered by the user or determined by the software, that are
stored in an attribute.
view The defined area of vision on a screen. A view allows you to see a
prescribed volume of the design cube. Views are created with their own x,
y, and z axes. The x,y plane of the view is parallel to the screen, while the
z-axis can be thought of as coming straight out of the view towards you.
The view axes maintain this relationship regardless of the rotation with
respect to the design cube. See also active depth.
virtual memory External memory for a computer that can be used as if it were an extension
of the computer’s internal memory. The software uses virtual memory to
store data. This means that unneeded files and data, stay on the disk until
they are called for. Because the internal processing memory stores a
minimal amount of data, the software can perform processing more quickly.
