Overview
♦ The Basics– Setup– DDP Groups– Working Data Browser
♦ Next Evolution– SP3D Groups– Re-use Data - Default Data Browser
♦ Hexagon/Fisher (Fisher FIRST 2.0)– Optimizing Valve Sizing Work Processes

Setup
♦ Domain Administrator– Click Add-Ins > Import DDP
Library Data > From SmartPlant 3D
– Connect– Import
♦ Imports– DDP Groups– Piping End Connection Types– Piping Classes

Original DDP Groups
♦ Approx. 100 Different Groups♦ Original DDP Groups didn’t have
values for rotation– Change groups to change rotation
♦ Lose dimensional data when groups are changed
Enter Data
♦ Dimensional Data Sheet– Tag by Tag

Enter Data - Working Data Browser
♦ Multiple Tags♦ Set the status - Preliminary / Design / Certified

♦ The DDP data is Published to SmartPlant Foundation (SPF) for S3D to Retrieve into the 3D Model with Tag Numbers
Publish
♦ The Piping Designer selects the Valve Tag and places the Fully Dimensioned Valve into the Model
♦ The Instrument Designer Checks the Instrument Connection, Maintenance Access and Orientation of the Valve

Next Evolution
♦ 10 New S3D Groups cover 90% of the of the PDS groups
♦ S3D Groups with rotation♦ PDS groups still available for
S3D as well
Re-Use Data - Default Data Browser
♦ Fluor has created a Global SPI DDP Database for loading Default Data– Uploaded with Mfr & Model dimensions from previously purchased instruments– Copy data from Default Browser to Working Data for matching Mfr, Model and
size

♦ Fisher FIRST 2.0 Transfer control valve spec sheets and envelope dimensions as DATA rather than graphic PDF files
How can DDP be easier, faster, and more reliably?

♦ Fisher FIRST - Valve Sizing and Selection and Pricing software made Fisher a pioneer in Valve sizing automation
♦ Fisher FirstVue - an extension of Fisher FIRST was used by EPCs for Sizing calculations and Selection of Valves
♦ Fisher Specification Manager (FSM) gave Fisher FirstVue an interface into SPI with DDP information for use by EPCs
♦ Fisher FIRST 2.0 merged the functionality of Fisher FIRST for Valve Sizing and Selection and Pricing with the Specification Manager’s interface to SPI and DDP data

SPI SPEC FORM 90

Fisher worked with Intergraph to create SPI Form 90, the standard
control valve spec sheet for Fisher products
Form 90 or Custom Form

♦ Typically companies have custom forms in SPI♦ The new FF2 link mapping process can handle either…
– SPI Form 90 Standard Fisher control valve specification sheet– Custom valve spec sheet form in SPI with mapped link file

FF2 Spec and DDP Functions
♦ The .CSV data file includes both the Control Valve Spec Sheet and DDP data
♦ Import link file is provided for SPI Import Module ♦ The SPI user has the option to import all the Spec Data or Just the
Size, Cv and Catalog numbers as needed
Approx. 400 columns of Control Valve Spec Sheet data
Approx. 40 columns of associated Dimensional Data for Piping (DDP)

Before importing Fisher Spec Data and DDP data into SPI the user can do a comparison to see what data fields had changed

Many new “Standard” shapes have been defined in SPI and S3D specifically for Fisher control valves

Future Enhancements
♦ HEXAGONPPM Intergraph recently announced the development of Vendor Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
♦ Future releases of Fisher FIRST 2.0 will be able to Read and Write data directly from and to SmartPlant Instrumentation
♦ The APIs will eliminate the use of .CSV files to Export and Import Data
♦ Data will be Published and Retrieved through the APIs and have Management of Change and Data Validation
