Prior to importing a PDMS .datal file to Smart 3D, verify that the appropriate mapping has been completed and that both catalogs have been set up appropriately. See Appendix: PDMS Import to Smart 3D Workbook and Define matching reference data for information about mapping and setting up the catalog.

  1. In the Common task, click File > Import > PDMS Datal Import > Import Model Command to open the S3D PDMS Datal Import Dialog.

  2. Select the parent system to specify where the imported PDMS objects are placed in the Smart 3D model.

  3. Specify the name and full path location of the PDMS input .datal file in the Datal File box. Do not manually edit PDMS .datal files or .att files.

  4. Navigate to the mapping file.

  5. Specify the name and full path location for the log file.

  6. Select the disciplines to import.

  7. Click OK to start the import process.

    When processing completes, the dialog closes.

    SHARED Tip If you click Apply instead of OK, the dialog remains open when processing completes so you can click View Log to open the log file. Otherwise, you must manually navigate to the log file.

  8. Review the log file for errors and warnings.

  • All of the imported objects are placed under the selected parent system.

  • The mapping file is an Excel workbook that is used to map all the objects and their properties in Smart 3D and PDMS. This workbook is delivered to the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Translators\PDMSS3DImport folder during setup.
