Databases

The overall purpose of the application is the controlled creation of a complete three‑dimensional project design model using computer‑simulation techniques. The Engineering and Diagrams products enable the creation and control of 2D schematic and conventional engineering to support the 3D model. All information which exists about a design project, whether administrative or technical, 3D or 2D is stored in a series of hierarchical databases. Use of the various modules allows the user to create, modify and extract information from these databases.

The Databases section describes:

• The purpose of each type of database

• How the detailed project information is held in each

• How the separate databases are related to each other.
