MODELING OF PIPING LINES
Creation of a Pipe
When creating a piping line, it It is mandatory to specify a line name andA piping specification. Possibly, it is also possible to Fill in the main DN, the specifications Tracing and heat insulation, temperature and The pressure of the line. If the piping line must be modeled With a slope, the value of it can beSpecified. Once the creation of the Pipe has been validated, the window Pipe Editor evolves and allows the creation and Definition of the Head/Tail of a Branch.

This menu allows you to apply the slope on all the elements of the branch Allows you to apply on the branch a slope veRs the bottom Allows to apply on the branch a slope upwards Do not apply a slope on the branch NOTE: The slope can be applied only has certain elements of piping
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Modification of a pipe
The editing of a pipe or branch can be done at any time with the tools in the Modify Pipe dialog box (see 1.4. Creation of Pipe).
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Component modification
All piping components can be moved and redirected with the tools in the Modify Component window (see 1.7. Installation of a component). The Model EditGold can also be used to modify a component.
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Reselection of components
When a component already created must be replaced by another coMposing of the same type, it is possible to reselect it. The Reconnection function automatically moves the connected elements to the original one, so that they are always connected to the new component.
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Change of specification
The Modify Components dialog box can be used to change the specifications of piping, heat insulation, tracing and also to change the diameter of the components.To access it: -Modify > Spec / Bore By using the right mouse click in the dialog box you bring up the context menu.

MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Removal of components
Piping components, like all E3D elements, can be deleted by the Delete tools. This option is also available in the component's context menu in the Model Explorer.In the Piping discipline, the Delete Range tool allows you to remove all the components of a section of piping located between 2 user-defined components:
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Pipe line cutting
Cutting a line can be useful to make an isometric clearer or to meet a process need. Split Pipes on a Plane: This mode allows the cutting of one or more lines by a user-defined plan.The elements downstream of the section are moved into an identified branch (Existing), into a new pipe (New Pipe) or a new branch (New Branch). From the Assembly tab, the user can choose a typical assembly to insert on the cut.Split Pipes into Segments: This mode allows the cutting of a pipeline line into sections of defined lengths between 2 identified components. Each section can be created in a new branch or a new pipe.Split Pipes by moving Components:This mode allows the cutting of a piping line on a selected component. The elements located downstream of the section are moved into an identified branch (Existing), in a New pipe (New Pipe) or a new branch (New Branch). Merge Branch / pipe:This mode allows the fusion of 2 branches or 2 pipes. NOTE: it is strongly recommended to initiate a data consistency check when you modify a piping.
MODIFICATION OF PIPING LINES
Slope management
When a piping line has been modeled without a slope, it is possible to generate a slope on the entire line or on only one section: Slope management on the entire Pipe Choice of the section ofWork Management of the slope on the current section
THE ATTACHMENTS
Their functions
Attachments are created in the same way as a piping component. They are used for various applications. Let's detail the main ones. The different types of ATTA are defined by setting the attribute ATTY. - ATTY Unset: default type. It is used to mark the position of a support on the piping in the isometric. - ATTY CCCC: allows adding a note with a reference line on the isometric. The attachment will also be sided (called a sided comment). - ATTY CCNN: allows adding a note with a reference line on the isometric. In this case, the attachment will not be sided (called a non-sided comment). - ATTY Flow: allows adding an arrow to indicate the direction of the fluid on the isometric. - ATTY XXXX: allows splitting the piping line. This option is used if you want to cut your isometric to facilitate its reading. - ATTY SSSS: allows defining the point from which an isometric should be divided on the next sheet. These are the same considerations as for an ATTY SSSS. - ATTY INPP: allows defining the beginning and end points of insulation on an isometric. If you want to add a comment to the attachment (in the case of a CCCC or CCNN), you must fill in the Stext attribute of the attachment.
ISOMETRIC PRODUCTION
Isometric Design
It is possible to pre-visualise the isometrics of the Piping discipline with the foNction Isometric pipe: NOTE: The plot of the isometric is in white, do not pass the background in white. Otherwise you will no longer see your isometric. The context menu has an option to change the background color.

Obstruction list
The obstruction list defines all the elements of the special map with which collisions will be defined. By default, the obstruction list contains all the design elements of the MDB.It is possible to modify this list in order to generate an item collision list. The exclusion list contains all the elements that should not be taken into account when calculating collisions. By default, this list is empty. From the onglAnd Limits, a volume can be defined around one or more elements, or a region in order to create an obstruction space. Any element that is partially or entirely in this space will be checked.

History of the model
Session Comment
At each Savework, a working session is opened by the user. The user has the possibility to comment on his sessions in order to facilitate theUnderstanding of the history of the elements.
History of the model
Comparison Date
It is possible to compare the state of an element of the model with its state on a defined date.The easiest way is to be able to use a stamp (revision) of the database. After choosing a comparison date and clicking on OK, the user can query the elements of the model on their previous state with the keyword "OLD".Ex: Q OLD NAME Q OLD POS
History of the model
Model Changes
The history of element creations and modifications is kept by AVEVA E3D. The Mode toolL Changes allows visibility of the entire history or just that of a particular element. It is therefore possible to know which user has modified an element and on what date. NOTE: The Q LASTMOD and Q USERMOD commands allow you to displayExpensive in the Command Window, the date and author of the last modification.
DB Listing
DB Listing
The DB Listing is the backup of one or more element(s) ofE the database in a text file. This backup is only compatible with AVEVA E3D and AVEVA PDMS, the versions may be different. This file (.txt) can be edited before being reused, it contains all the command lines for recreationR the same element identically (name, position, geometry). Only the hierarchy differs and depends on the hierarchy selected at the time of importing this file. Some elements of PDMS using references in CATALOGUE (Structure, Piping, Nozzle, etc...) are only compatible with a Project containing the same CATALOGUE. It is possible to use this tool to: -Save an element at a time "t" -Duplicate an element (requires to modify the text file) -Modify an existing element (requiresIte to modify the text file)
Postponement
Postponement
Reporting is the extraction of information about the 3D model into text files, Excel, or to the AVEVA E3D reporting editor. Files (.txt) or (.csv) can be edited.They contain all the information you want to extract from the model (name, position, geometry). This data can be modified and reinjected into the model. Some elements of E3D using references in CATALOGUE (Structure, Piping, Nozzle, etc...) are only compatible with a Project containing the same CATALOGUE. It is possible to use this tool to: -Check one or more existing elements -Edit one or more existing elements (requires to modify the text file) -Emblish a list ofE hardware (data extraction) For simple verification or modification operations, the Simple Report function is preferred: In the example opposite, we query all the EQUI-type elements located under the CE hierarchy. The attributesNAME, OWNER, PURPOSE, AREA and POSITION of each item found will be saved in the report.txt file
