PARAGON

Used to generate and modify catalogs, with facilities for catalog component construction with visual control (including 3D colour-shaded representations of the item being designed). The catalogs in AVEVA E3D™ serve a similar purpose to the manufacturers' catalogs, which you would refer to when using conventional design methods.

The AVEVA E3D™ component catalog is used to specify the geometry, connection information, obstruction and detailing data of steelwork, piping, and HVAC and cable tray components. Component specifications within the catalog database can also be created or modified. Specifications define the suitability of catalog components for particular types of use, refer to Catalogues and Specifications for further information

Note: Whereas the design data is specific to a particular design, catalogs and specifications may be specific to a company but general to a number of projects in that company. For example, the same catalog component may also appear in other designs proceeding at the same time.
