Codelists in PDS are assignments of numbers to text. A simple example is the codelist for end processing (codelist 330 in PDS). The assignment is simply 2 = 'FE'.

In Smart Materials, codelists are defined on the S.20.01 Tablenames with Groups and S.20.02 Tablenames with Details screens.

Arbitrary tables (codelists) can be entered and edited on these screens. In the ideal case, the Table Detail field should contain the numeric value while the language-dependent Short Description field contains the corresponding text.

Smart Materials prints out the Description text, and not the Short Description text.

Because the PDS codelist value is not always found in the table detail, you can choose in Smart Materials a different place for PDS. The possibilities can be seen from the configuration of PDS 10.01.

There, you can determine that the codelist 330 value is not stored in the table detail, but in ATTR_NUM1.

In order to "explain" the PDS code list to Smart Materials, you must define the table translation on the A.50.I.01 Interface Tables screen. In the second block, select PDS from the LOV in the Interface field, and enter CL330 in the Translation field. Smart Materials generates the entries necessary for a codelist of the type 330 if the translation starts with a CL followed by digits. Otherwise, no codelist is generated, and you get an error message.

All codelists translated with the string CL% on A.50.I.01 and with the Codelist gen. check box selected in the PDS configuration will be generated each time a PCD/PMC is generated. Exceptions are the codelists described in the next chapter.

The following codelists are also generated automatically, but they have another structure.

  • CL575 Geostandard (CL575)

  • CL400 Option Code

  • CL576 Tablesuffix 1 (TS)

  • CL577 Tablesuffix 2 (TS)

  • CL550 Taps (CL550)

  • CL124 Fluids (from S.60.02)

The codelists 576/577 Tablesuffixes get as descriptive text the name of the geometry, mapped on S.40.I.01, and the language-dependent description. Although a tablesuffix can be assigned to more than one geometry, only one entry per mapping on S.40.I.01 will be accepted by the codelist.

The codelist 550 Modifier is only generated for taps. For this purpose, commodity groups that are taps must be marked for PDS on the S.10.I.01 Interface Commodity Group screen (see the example below).

Only those modifiers of a commodity code in a group that belongs to the PDS interface group ARM will be accepted in CL550.
