Use Smart Interop Publisher to translate the exported CAESAR II (.mdb) file to a .vue and .zvf file. For this example, the CAESAR II source file name is CII.mdb. CAESAR II file translation requires Microsoft Access Database Engine (64-bit) installed on the system with Smart Interop Publisher.

  1. Click the Smart Interop Publisher icon on your desktop .
    -OR-
    From the Start menu, click All Programs > Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher.

  2. From the Projects View, create a project specific for the CAESAR II work.
    -OR-
    Use an existing project.

  3. Select the project, and then right-click to select Settings > Project Settings Command.

  4. On the Project Settings Dialog, click Smart Review and Smart 3D as the Target Applications.

  5. (Optional) Select the project in the grid again, and then right-click to select the Settings > Translation Settings Command.

  6. For CAESAR II options, select Create Deflected Piping so that deflected piping objects are created for each load condition. The deflected piping objects can then display in the Smart Review SBS and Smart 3D Project Management R3D Workspace Explorer. This option is not selected by default.

  7. Change any other settings as required, and then click Save.

    For this workflow, you can use the default mapping file and mapping location.

    In the Smart Models grid, the created CII Smart Model displays with its Translation Status set to Complete. If problems are encountered, an Error status displays in the column. Smart Interop Publisher creates a VUE and ZVF folder and places the required files in each folder. The VUE folder contains the generated .vue, .mdb, .mdb2, and .drv files for Smart Review. The ZVF folder contains the CII.zvf file to be used as reference 3D data attached in Smart 3D.

    . The .mdb file generated by Smart Interop Publisher is not the same file as the exported CAESAR II file.
