1 Integration of ROHR2

The program system ROHR2 is the CAE System for Component analysis, Engineering and Structure Analysis of Piping Systems. Several interfaces are part of the "standard" ROHR2 program: besides several document and graphic file types.

A variety of interfaces to CAD/CAE-systems are available to integrate ROHR2 into your workflow. The integration of ROHR is completed by third-party interface products. Concerning the optimization of your workflow our staff of specialists will advise you individually upon request, especially regarding the data import and export to ROHR2.

3 Interfaces to CAD-Systems

The data for generating a pipe model in ROHR2 is done by importing files from 3D Plant engineering systems by integrated interfaces (some of them optionally available). This way to import data is basing on integrated component databases or database reports instead of simple graphic data. This enables to get more information than a simple piping structure, like assignment of materials, dimensions or support positions, required for the modeling in the ROHR2 pipe s tress calculation ROHR2

3.1 3D CAD-Systems - Overview These CAD-systems are currently supported by ROHR2.

see 3.2 Neutral interface

PDS Stress interface see 3.4 optional available

PCF interface e.g. connection to Plant3D, Smartplant

see 3.5 optional available

AUTOPLANT PXF see 3.6 optional available

PASCE see 3.7 optional available

SDNF Format see 5 optional available An additonal module on CAD side may be requiredto transfer datato/from ROHR2. Please check with the CAD/CAE supplier. Addresses see 6. Please ask for detailed information and sample files. The list of interfaces will be continued. The ROHR2 Neutral Interface is the main program module for the integration of CAD-programs (for details please refer to 3.2). The neutral interface and specific interface programs are additional programs included in ROHR2. They may be acquired as an upgrade to existing ROHR2 program installations. The creation of a piping model by means of graphics data information (e. g. AUTOCAD *.dwg) allows to generate a geometry model in best case. ROHR2 does not support this working method, because modeling in ROHR2win is the more efficient way to get a piping model.

3.1.1 Scope of transferred data Automatic generation of the ROHR2 input data from CAD-systems, in detail (if available):

• Geometry data Enables automatic generation of the load cases dead weight, medium weight and operation. Stresses and loads can be determined according to the calculation standard.

• Diameter, Wall thickness` • Materials • Support points and support conditions • Tees • Instruments, flanges • Expansion joints • Reducers • Design data, operation data

3.2 Neutral Interface

3.2.1 Data import form CAD systems Interface for data exchange between ROHR2 and optional available ROHR2 Interfaces as well as various CAD-systems like • AVEVA PDMS • INTERGRAPH - SMARTPLANT • CADISON • HiCADnext • ROHR2CAD / RC-PLANET To simplify the data interchange with CAD systems, the format of the neutral interface was defined. Being based on the listing of all elements in the system (pipe, bend, instruments, supports, ...) it can be created e.g. by a report from a database. For each element parameters required by ROHR2 have to be indicated. But only a part of the parameters must be entered by the user, not indicated parameters are filled with standard values or calculated from other parameters. The elements are written into an ASCII file as data sets with defined record label and corresponding parameters.

General description • For each element a reference string may be entered to identify the element after the conversion

from ROHR2 to the CAD-System. • Input records can be in arbitrary order. • Parameters within an input record can be in arbitrary order. • Only a part of the parameters must be entered by the user, not indicated parameters are filled with

standard values or calculated from other parameters. • Insert coordinates by node name or directly. If the coordinates are put in directly, node names are

created automatically • All existing names in the MATDAT file may be used as material name. A translation table for the

names, not included in MATDAT, may be created. • All data from the ROHR2 databases can be used • The expected file extension is *.ntr.

The data exchange process: 1. Transfer from PDMS to ROHR2 (import of data into ROHR2) The conversion from PDMS to ROHR2 is carried out in two steps: • The PDMS Interface creates data in the format of the ROHR2 neutral interface.

The scope of conversion depends on the parameters defined by PDMS. • The created .NTR-file is read by the neutral interface (integrated in ROHR2). The complete pipe geometry incl. materials, insulation and design data details as well as support types are taken over in details, if they are defined in PDMS (corresp. attribute must be set in PDMS) 2. Transfer ROHR2 to PDMS (ROHR2 data export) The data export from ROHR2 to PDMS includes load case dependent support results and deformations. It is carried out in two steps, too: • data is written into PDMS adapted export files. • The files are taken over by the PDMS Interface into the PDMS model and shown. Deformed structures may be represented in PDMS by this way. Beyond that, in PDMS calculation results are stored for further treatment, e.g. in hanger design software. Please ask for detailed information and sample files.
