Clash Manager

This guide introduces AVEVA's Clash Manager product. As part of Model Management it is provided as an extension to AVEVA Marine Design. As Standalone Clash Manager it is provided as an extension to AVEVA Marine. This chapter lists the different types of user who would need to read this guide and sets out what knowledge they will need before they start.

Clash Manager complements the built-in design clash capability of AVEVA Marine. It provides comprehensive recording, trend analysis, identification, management and the resolution of clashes through an approval mechanism.

Clash Manager provides reports on clashes and enables a status, history and responsible discipline to be allocated to each one. This enables the Marine user to prioritize, control and monitor the work involved in the resolution of all clashes. The module aids in assembling the required input data to desclash, transparently running desclash and loading the resulting desclash output into a separate database that provides reporting, viewing and approval mechanisms.

The Clash Manager GUI displays information on the occurrences of the clashes, and can request the Marine GUI to graphically display the physical positions of the clashing items.

The GUI enables the user to:

1. Check for clashes within a specified part of the Marine model.

2. Check for clashes involving the Marine Current Element (CE).

3. View the number of clashes, at specified status, associated with each discipline.

4. View a breakdown of information about the elements involved in the clashes.

5. Allocate a status (Unapproved, Pending, Conditional or Approved) to a clash, and to add comments regarding any status changes.

6. Specify which discipline is responsible for resolving a clash.

7. Display selected clashes at the Marine 3D display.
