Error Messages in Clash Detection Mode

The following error messages are those that are specific to Model’s Clash Detection mode.

(69:4) May only specify tube on piping or hanger components

Attempt to specify implied tube connected to an inappropriate type of element (refer to Defining the Obstruction List for examples of the syntax).

(69:5) Must be a BRANCH or HANGER to specify HEAD or TAIL tube

Attempt to specify a head or tail tube connected to an inappropriate type of element (refer to Defining the Obstruction List for examples of the syntax).

(69:7) name/refno has not been fully mapped

The specified element has not had its positional data updated in the spatial map.

(69:8) name/refno is already in the obstruction list

Attempt to add an element to the obstruction list that is already present in the list. Use the Q CLASH OBSTRUCTION command to check the current list if necessary.

(69:9) name/refno is not in the spatial map

The specified element has not had its positional data updated in the spatial map.

(69:11) name/refno is not in the obstruction list

Attempt to remove or exclude an element from the obstruction list that is not present in the list. Use the Q CLASH OBSTRUCTION command to check the current list if necessary.

(69:12) Approved clash number integer is not in approval list

Attempt to remove or re-approve a clash by referring to an approved clash id that is not present in the list. Use the OUTPUT APPROVED command if necessary to check the current list.

(69:13) Element type word is not currently a section header

Attempt to remove a section from the main body of the report that is not present in the list of sections. Use the Q CLASH REPORT MAIN command to check the current sections if necessary.

(69:16) Maximum number of element types for the NOCHECK option exceeded

The maximum number of element types that the user may specify in a NOCHECK command is 20.

(69:17) Element type word is not in the list of those set for NOCHECK

Attempt to use the WITHIN command to reinstate an element type which has not been previously specified in a NOCHECK command.

(69:18) Clearance value must be positive

Attempt a negative argument in a CLEARANCE command. The user must specify either a positive value (which must be greater than the current touch gap) or zero (which switches the clearance option off).

(69:19) Clearance value must be greater than touching gap
(69:20) Touching gap must be positive
(69:21) Touching gap may not be greater than current clearance
(69:22) Touching overlap must be positive
(69:23) Invalid element type for an approved clash

Refer to Adding Clashes to the Approval List for the valid ways of specifying approved clashes.

(69:24) Approved clash already exists

Attempt to add a clash to the approval list that is already present in the list. Use the OUTPUT APPROVED command to check the current list if necessary. Refer to Adding Clashes to the Approval List.

(69:25) integer is not a valid approved clash number

Attempt to remove or re´-approve a clash by referring to an approved clash id that is not present in the list. Use the OUTPUT APPROVED command if necessary to check the current list. Refer to Adding Clashes to the Approval List.

(69:26) There are no items in the obstruction list

Cannot run a clash check until the user has added at least one element to the obstruction list.

(69:27) Maximum number of element types for the SECT option exceeded

The maximum number of element types that the user may specify in a REMOVE SECTIONS command is 20.

(69:28) Clashes cannot be saved as no clash run has been made

The SAVE CLASHES command can only save clash data currently held in memory from the most recent clash-checking run. There is no valid data in memory.

(69:29) Error in file format

Attempt to restore data from a file that was not written to by a Model (or CLASHER) SAVE command.

(69:33) No clash run has been made

The SAVE CLASHES command can only save clash data currently held in memory from the most recent clash-checking run. There is no valid data in memory.

(69:34) File filename already exists. Output defaulted to terminal

The user can only overwrite the contents of an existing file by using either the FFILE command or the FILE ... OVER option. The FILE command has been ignored as a protection against accidentally overwriting the named file.

(69:35) File filename is in use. Output defaulted to terminal

Specified a file that is already open (or which is otherwise inaccessible for writing to). Your output will therefore be sent to your terminal until a valid file name is specified.

(69:36) File filename does not exist

The file from which the user is trying to read is not accessible from the OS directory from which you entered AVEVA E3D Design. Is the full pathname for the file required.

(69:37) File filename already exists

The user can only overwrite the contents of an existing file by using either the FFILE command or the FILE ... OVER option.

(69:38) File filename is in use

Specified a file that is already open (or which is otherwise inaccessible for writing to).

(69:39) Page width may not be less than 50 characters

A page width of less than 50 characters will be too narrow to accommodate the clash data lines in the report.

(69:40) Page length must be between 20 and 200 lines

The page length must be of a suitable length to accommodate a sensible top and bottom margin and a reasonable number of report lines.

(69:41) Page margin must be between 0 and 20

The margin width must be positive and must allow enough remaining line length to accommodate a typical report line.

(69:43) No spatial map exists for DB containing name/refno

The specified element forms part of a DB for which a spatial map has not yet been created. The positional data for the element is therefore unavailable for clash checking.

(69:47) The leave tube for name/refno is not in the spatial map

The specified element has not had its positional data updated in the spatial map since it was connected to the next downstream component.

(69:48) No approved clashes exist between name/refno and name/refno

Attempt to reapprove one or more clashes between named items for which no approved clashes have been specified.

(69:56) Unable to open file filename

The specified file cannot be found. Check that you have specified its correct pathname and that the directory containing it is accessible from the directory from which you entered AVEVA E3D Design.

(69:57) Line integer of macro template filename is too long

The specified command line in your template file is of such a length that, when the clash-checking keywords have been replaced by the corresponding clash data, it exceeds the maximum permitted length for an AVEVA E3D™ command line.

(69:58) Line integer of macro template filename does not have matching dollar signs

Each keyword in a macro template file must be enclosed between a pair of $ escape characters. The $ characters in the specified file do not form properly matched pairs.

(69:59) Line integer of macro template filename has unrecognised keyword

Refer to Creating Macro Files Incorporating Clash Data for a list of valid keywords for use in macro template files.

(69:60) Macro template filename has no keywords

There are no identifiable locations in the template to which clash data can be transferred. MODEL cannot check the command syntax in the template and it is most likely that the enclosing $ characters have simply been omitted from the keywords. Refer to Creating Macro Files Incorporating Clash Data.

(69:61) Spatial map marked as incomplete ( for DB integer )

The positional data has not been updated in the spatial map since the specified DB was last accessed from a design module. Entry to a design module with map maintenance off will cause the map to be flagged as incomplete if any design change is made, even if no clashes are affected.

(69:66) No obstruction list. Use ‘OBS ALL’ or ‘OBS id1 id2 ... idn’

A clash check cannot be run until at least one element has been added to the obstruction list.

(69:67) Currently OBS ALL. Specifying additional obstructions has no effect

Since the obstruction list already comprises all relevant elements in the MODEL DB, there is no point in trying to add specifically named elements to the list.

(69:68) No template file has been specified for macro output

When using the REPORT MACRO option, the name of the template file must be specified from which the structure of the macro is to be read. This is quite independent of the specification of the output file (FILE or FFILE command) which defines where the final macro is to be sent.

(69:79) ALL not valid for EXCLUDE command

The members of obstruction list elements that are to be excluded from the list must be individually specified. EXCLUDE ALL would effectively eliminate the entire obstruction list (use REMOVE OBSTRUCTION ALL if this is really required).

(69:80) name/refno is already in the exclusion list

Attempt to add an element to the exclusion list that is already present in the list. Use the Q CLASH OBSTRUCTION command to check the current list if necessary.

(69:81) name/refno is not in the exclusion list

Attempt to remove an element from the exclusion list that is not present in the list. Use the Q CLASH OBSTRUCTION command to check the current list if necessary.

(69:85) Clasher run may not be made unless the override option is used

There are errors in the Spatial Map which will cause Desclash to abort the run unless the Override On option is used.
