AVEVA E3D 2.1 Definition of Surface Treatment- CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER 4 4

Surface Treatment

The Surface Treatment utility enables specific paint types and coatings to be applied to individual model items such as piping, HVAC, structural elements, etc.

4.1

Defi De fi nit ion of Surface Treatments

Surface treatments consist of surface preparation, primer, paint description, manufacturer and a coating thickness. Surface treatments are defined in Paragon and stored in a Catalogue database.

 The definition of Surface Treatments is outside the scope of this training guide. Refer to TM-1867 AVEVA Everything3D™ Project Model General Administration for information on how to define and modify surface treatments in Paragon.

The database MASTER/PIPECATA, in the AVEVA data project ACP , contains a number of pre-defined surface treatments, for example:

Surface treatments are referenced by model elements via the attributes Inprtref and and Ouprtref representing representing the inside surface treatment and the outside surface treatment respectively. Only elements with these attributes may have a surface treatment assigned to them.

Ass ign ing a Surface Treatment

Selecting TOOLS > Assign > Surface Treatment displays the Surface Treatment – Assignment form .

4.2.1

Select ing Elements

The Scope definition area of the form assists in selecting database elements to assign surface treatment to and displays them in the Selected elements area of the form in a grid.

The Scope definition options list may be used to filter by a particular element type. For example, if PIPE is selected and a ZONE containing only EQUI elements is selected, the Selected elements grid does not display any results. Similarly, if EQUI is selected and a ZONE containing only EQUI elements is selected, only the EQUI elements are displayed in the grid. However, if ALL is selected the ZONE containing only EQUI elements will display the NOZZ elements as well.

The radio buttons in the Scope definition area have the following functionality: 

CE mem - includes members of the current element, i.e. elements owned by the CE.



ID – enables item(s) to be graphically picked from the 3D view.



CE - includes the current element only.



Collection – this radio button, and its associated options list, is only enabled if one or more collections are defined. The options list adjacent contains all the currently defined collections. This option allows the selection of items from predefined collections.

Clicking either the Select or Add Elem ent buttons populates the Selected elements grid with the elements based on the chosen method and criteria. The Select button clears the grid of any existing elements and adds the selected items. The Add El emen t button appends the selected items to the items already displayed in the grid.

 Only items which have Inprtref and Ouprtref attributes are added to the grid. Items without these attributes are ignored.

Once the Selected elements grid is populated, elements from the grid must be selected to apply the surface treatment to. Selections can be made from the grid using standard Windows selection methods.

4.2.2

Select ing the Surface Treatment

Once the elements required have been selected, the surface treatment to be applied and where it is to be applied, can be selected from the bottom part of the Surface Treatment – Assignment form. The database MASTER/PIPECATA contains four pre-defined Table groups (Selection Tables) which may be selected using the Table group options list.

These options are: 

IPSP – Inside Paint Specification, rule based.



OPSP – Outside Paint Specification, rule based.



FACE – Face Code of Zone.



GENE – General, non-rule based.

Each Table Group option has a number of specification based table items which are selected from the Table item options list:

When a Table item has been selected the Specification , if applicable, Symbol code and Punch code textboxes are automatically filled with the relevant information.

4.2.3

Appl ying the Surface Treatm ent

Having selected the elements to apply the surface treatment to and the required surface treatment, clicking either the Inside , Outside or Both buttons will update the Selected elements grid with the appropriate settings.

Clicking the Appl y button on the form displays a warning message.

Clicking the OK button on the message assigns the surface treatment to the specified items and removes them from the Selected elements grid. By Viewing the attributes of the processed elements it can be seen that the Inprtref attribute has been displayed accordingly.



Change Inside Codes from Spec – this option populates the inside codes, i.e. INPRTR, STINRF, STINCD and PUINCD columns in the grid, for the selected items using the current Table item data. Change Outside Codes from Spec - this option populates the outside codes, i.e. OUPRTR, STOURF, STOUCD and PUOUCD columns in the grid, for the selected items using the current Table item data.

Change IN/OUT Codes fro m Spec - this option populates both the inside codes and outside codes for the selected items using the current Table item data. Change Inside Codes from Face – this option populates the inside codes, i.e. INPRTR, STINRF, STINCD and PUINCD columns in the grid, for the selected items using the current Table item data. Change Outside Codes from Face - this option populates the outside codes, i.e. OUPRTR, STOURF, STOUCD and PUOUCD columns in the grid, for the selected items using the current Table item data. Change IN/OUT Codes from Face - this option populates both the inside codes and outside codes for the selected items using the current Table item data.

 The Ap pl y button on the Surface Treatment – Assignment form will still need to be clicked to update the attributes on the selected items after the grid is updated. 

Change codes from Table List – this option opens the Surface Treatment – Section form which is described in detail in the next section.



Remove Selected Element(s) – this option removes the selected element(s) from the grid.



Remove All Elements – this option clears the grid.





4.2.3.2 The Surf ace Treatment – Selection Form Having selected items from elements grid, clicking the SRF the bottom of the Surface As si gn men t form displays Treatment – Selection form.

the Selected List button at Treatment – the Surface

The form contains Table Group and Table Item options list, whose functionality is the same as previously described for the corresponding gadgets on the Surface Treatment – As si gn men t form. However, selecting a Table Group and Table Item displays details and coatings of the surface treatment. Clicking the Inside , Outside or Both buttons updates the selected items in the grid with the details from the selected surface treatment. The Clear button clears the details on the form.

 The Ap pl y button on the Surface Treatment – Assignment form will still need to be clicked to update the attributes on the selected items after the grid is updated.

4.3

Surface Treatment Calculati on and Report

Once the surface treatments have been assigned to the required model elements, the inside and outside surface area for each component may be calculated and reported on. With the required element as the CE, selecting TOOLS > Report > Surface Treatment displays the Surface Treatment – Report form.


43

www.aveva.com


The CE when the form is loaded is set automatically. Navigating to another element within the Model Explorer and clicking the CE button will set that as the current CE for the form. Clicking the Calculate button calculates the inside and outside surface area for each component owned by the CE and displays the results in the Selected elements grid. Units for the calculated area derive from the current session units for distance.

 The Units for Area displayed derive from the current session units for Distance, as defined in the units setting form.

Having selected items from the Selected elements grid, right clicking in the grid displays a pop-up menu which has the following options: 
