Hull plate material mappings

Project administrators can add, modify, and delete hull plate material mappings.

Hull plate material mappings define which Catalog Parts to use for the plate and the sleeve of a multi-pipe penetration when the hull plate that is being penetrated is made of a specific type of material. The mappings allow the Multi-Pipe Penetration tool of Plant Modeller to automatically select correct materials when constructing penetrations.

Hull plate material mappings must be defined if use of material mappings is enforced in the application options, as described in Penetrations.

Defining hull plate material mappings

Prerequisites

  • The Catalog Parts for creating penetrations in hull plates have been created. The Catalog Parts must have sizes that are equal to or greater than the thickness of the hull plates.
  • You know the hull plate material tag values for which to create new mappings. You can check this for example by viewing the properties of a hull plate with the Query Object Data tool.

Do the following:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • In the Project Environment dialog, go to [project] > Configuration > Plant Modeller, and double-click the 'Hull plate material mappings' configuration object.

    • In Plant Modeller, select File > Options, go to Shared Settings > Piping > Penetrations, and click Edit.

    The Hull Plate Material Mappings dialog opens.

  2. The Hull Material Tag setting defines which COS attribute stores information on materials used by the hull 3D objects. Click Select to select the required attribute from the Select attribute dialog.

  3. In the Mappings pane, each mapping row specifies a hull material tag value and then the Catalog Part of the plate and the sleeve to be used when penetrating this material. To create a new mapping, do the following:

    1. Click Add. The Define mapping dialog opens.

    2. Hull Plate Material – Enter the hull plate material tag value. The spelling must match exactly the designated attribute value.
    3. Mapped Plate Part – Click Select to select a Catalog Part for the plate.
    4. Mapped Sleeve Part – Click Select to select a Catalog Part for the sleeve.
    5. Click OK.

  4. When all required material mappings are defined, click OK to close the mapping tool.
