Common Functionality

Describes functionality, which is common to several disciplines within Model.

Model is the main, graphically driven constructor module. It enables a full sized three dimensional model to be defined in the design database, with selected views of the current state of the design shown on the graphics screen as the design progresses.

All parts of the design can be created. Component selection is provided through Specifications that dictate which Catalog Components can be used. Each part of the design model can be displayed in color-shaded solid color-coded representations for ease of interpretation.

The Model module can check for interferences (clashes) between items created in the design. There is a very flexible reporting capability that can be used to produce a wide variety of design documents - from bulk Material Take Off (MTO) to detailed nozzle schedules.
