Model is divided into a number of functional applications which 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. To change to a different application on the top left of the window select the drop-down arrow next to GENERAL to display a drop-down list of all the available applications. Select the required application.
|
GENERAL |
Allows you to view all the common functions of the different applications. |
|
EQUIPMENT |
Allows you to create and manipulate equipment that is available for all projects by associating it with a catalogue. Refer to Equipment for further information. |
|
PIPING |
Allows you to create, analyse and document logically interconnected piping networks. Refer to Pipework Design for further information. |
|
HVAC |
Allows you to design and detail complex ducting networks within a full 3D environment, with the support of tools to produce a clash free design. Refer to HVAC Designer for further information. |
|
CABLING SYSTEM |
Allows you to create or select cables from the catalogue, optionally connected to equipment, before being joined to a cableway and routed along a cableway. Refer to Cable Designer for further information. |
|
CABLE TRAY |
Allows you to create a cable tray element and is added to the cableways either automatically or manually. Refer to Cable Trays for further information. |
|
STRUCTURES |
Allows you to create structural steelworks within a full 3D environment, with the support of tools to produce a clash free design. Refer to Structural Design for further information. |
|
SUPPORTS |
Allows you to create supports for piping, cable trays, (Both piping based cable trays (BRAN) and cable trays (CTRAY) created by the Cabling System) and HVAC. It is highly interactive, enabling you to design supports with the minimum of effort. Refer to Supports for further information. |
|
SPACE MANAGEMENT |
Allows you to handle arrangement design which includes the definition of spaces, areas and curves possibly with functional data to specialize for a specific design purpose. The arrangements can be used to coordinate other design activities as well as be used downstream to support other design activities with geometry data and functional properties. Refer to Space Management for further information. |
|
HULL DESIGN |
Allows you to handle hull steel design primarily in ships and other floating structures. The hull steel model is highly topological and benefits from the models made for common references, that is surfaces, curves and points. Hull model properties can be inherited from information added to any functional arrangements, that is space, area and curve arrangements. Hull specific drawings are created with specialized functions in the Draw application, integrated as part of the AVEVA E3D Design. Refer to Hull Design for further information. |
|
MINING |
Allows you to create and modify mining conveyors and equipment. The application can be used to define, create and modify conveyor elements together with their associated covers and supporting frames. Refer to Mining for further information. |
|
TERRAIN |
Allows you to create and modify terrain data. Refer to Terrain for further information. |
|
DESIGN TEMPLATES |
Allows you to create a design template by creating an instance of the template in the DESIGN DB. When a design template is instanced, the template contents are copied into the design hierarchy; they can then be modified locally as required. Refer to Design Template for further information. |
DRAW Functionality in MODEL
NOTE:
Draw Functionality in Model is not an AVEVA E3D Design application. When activated, the Draw tab is displayed in Model and can be accessed from all applications.
It is possible to activate a subset of the Draw functionality in Model. Refer to Draw Functionality in Model for further information.
