Create Equipment

To create Equipment elements you can either use the Equipment applications or enter commands in the command window. Creating elements using the equipment applications can be done in two main ways.

1. Creating Equipment and Creating Standard Equipment, for Equipment itself, you can select the Create > Equipment menu to create an empty Equipment element, where you add different primitives to build up the graphical representation for the Equipment item.

2. The Standard Equipment can be accessed by selecting the Create > Standard Equipment option on the menu bar, this takes you through a series of steps allowing you to build up a parameterized equipment based on a specification of standard equipment types.

   

3. Using the Design Explorer navigate to the ZONE which will hold the equipment.

4. Select Create > Equipment from the main drop-down menus.

   

   The Equipment Creation window will be displayed.

   

5. Enter the equipment name in the Name field.

   The Ship Position pane sets the position of the equipment using the ship coordinates (the user can always create the equipment at the SITE origin and move it later):

   FR	Enter the value of the frame position with an Offet.
   LH	Enter the value of the length horizontal position with an Offset.
   LV	Enter the value of the length vertical position with an Offset.
   X	Enter the value of the X coordinates.
   Y	Enter the value of the Y coordinates.
   Z	Enter the value of the Z coordinates.

6. If required, select one or all of the Lock check boxes to fix the current coordinate along the X, Y or Z axis.

7. Click on the icon under Ship Position to switch to Outfitting coordinates, where a position can be defined using another element as a reference element (wrt (with respect to)).

   Note: X (East), Y (North), Z (Up), -X (negative East), -Y (negative North) or -Z (negative Up).

   

8. If required, select one or all of the Lock check boxes to fix the current coordinate along the X, Y or Z axis.

9. Click on the icon under Position to switch back to Ship Position (graphical picking can be used to input the equipment position).

10. Enter the attributes of the equipment element in the Attributes pane (see table at end of this section).

11. Click OK to create the Equipment element.
