Clash Manager

AVEVA Clash Manager can be used to enhance projects created in AVEVA E3D Design - henceforth known as the base product in this document.

The Clash Manager User Guide introduces the Clash Manager product. It lists the different types of user who would need to read this guide and sets out what knowledge they will need before they start.

Clash Manager complements the built-in design clash capability of AVEVA base product. It provides comprehensive recording, trend analysis, identification, management and the resolution of clashes through an approval mechanism.

Clash Manager provides reports on clashes and enables a status, history and responsible discipline to be allocated to each one. This enables the user to prioritize, control and monitor the work involved in the resolution of all clashes. The module aids in assembling the required input data to desclash, transparently running desclash and loading the resulting desclash output into a separate database that provides reporting, viewing and approval mechanisms.

The Clash Manager UI displays information on the occurrences of the clashes, and can request the UI to graphically display the physical positions of the clashing items.

The UI enables the user to:

• Check for clashes within a specified part of the 3D model

• Check for clashes involving the Current Element (CE)

• View the number of clashes, at specified status, associated with each discipline

• View a breakdown of information about the elements involved in the clashes

• Allocate a status (Unapproved, Pending, Conditional or Approved) to a clash, and to add comments regarding any status changes

• Specify which discipline is responsible for resolving a clash

• Display selected clashes at the 3D display.
