There is a separate model hierarchy for pipe routing, as shown below. In principle, each pipe element may own own a numbe numberr of branc branche hes. s. In turn turn,, bran branche ches s may own own a numbe numberr of pipi piping ng compo compone nent nts, s, e.g. e.g. valv valves es,, reducers, tees, flanges, etc. The difference between pipes and branches is that a branch is only considered to have two ends, while a pipe may have any number of ends, depending on the number of branches it owns.

A pipe with three ends and two branches is shown below. The second branch is connected to the first at the tee. This demonstrates demonstrates another another piping piping hierarchy hierarchy rule. Although Although a branch only has two ends, it may own components (in this case a tee) which connect connect to other branches. These simple concepts enable any number of piping configurations to be developed, and forms the basis of all existing designed AVEVA E3D pipework.

An alternative pipe configuration that still complies with these rules is shown here. In this instance the branch leaves the tee through the offline leg.

Pipe branches serve two purposes:purposes:



They define define the start and finish finish points of a pipe route route (known as the Head and Tail Tail in AVEVA E3D). They own the the piping component components, s, which define define the the route.

The position and order of the piping components below branch level determine the physical route. In AVEVA E3D E3D it is only only nece necess ssary ary to cons consid ider er the the fitti fitting ngs s beca becaus use e the pipe pipe that that appe appear ars s betwe between en fitti fittings ngs is automatically set (or implied) by AVEVA E3D according to the specifications of the fittings.

When a branch head and tail is initially defined, the branch will consist of a single section of pipe running in a straight line between the head and tail positions. This will appear as a dotted line between the two points unless the head and tail are aligned along a common axis and have the same bore. The presence of the dotted line indicates that the branch route is incorrectly defined.

The next step in designing a pipe is to create and position a series of fittings, which define the pipe route required. It is necessary to decide which piping components are needed in order to satisfy the requirements of the process. The components must be arranged so that the pipe meets the design requirements. It is not necessary to know the dimensions of fittings as AVEVA E3D derives these automatically from the catalogue. To create create component components, s, first first select select an item item from from the list of fittin fittings gs availa available ble from the associate associated d piping piping specificati specification. on. T ypical ypical fitting types are Elbows, Tees, Reducers, Reducers, Flanges, Gaskets and Valves. Valves. There is some intelligence built into the AVEVA E3D forms so that by placing, for example a valve, the associated Gaskets and Flanges will also be created. For all piping components, the following steps will need to be performed:

Arr rriv ive e an and d Le Leav ave e Po Poin ints ts

Piping components have P–points (similar to those for equipment primitives). The significance of P–points is two–fold. Firstly, they define the connection points, and secondly, they determine the branch flow through the component by means of Arrive and Leave attributes. For the reducer shown below, the large bore is at P1 and the small bore is at P2. If this component is used to increase the bore of the branch, the flow in the direction of the branch will be from P2 to P1. In order to tell AVEVA E3D the necessary flow direction, there are two numeric attributes, Arrive and Leave, which must be set to the p–point numbers required. In this case, Arrive would be set to 2 and Leave would be set to 1. (The default is Arrive 1 Leave 2). Forms and menus within AVEVA E3D will handle all connections; however it is important important to understand understand the concepts concepts behind the connections. connections.

Piping Pip ing Asse Assembl mblies ies

Building pipes in AVEVA E3D is often a case of building single compon component ents s into into a complex complex arrange arrangement ment of branch branches es and components. In the Plant industry there are sometimes fixed conf config igura urati tion ons s of compo compone nent nts s whic which h can can be reuse reused d many many times in a model and these form the basis of assemblies. An assembly in AVEVA E3D is a series of components and branches in a predefined configuration which may be copied into into the the mode modell many many time times. s. Alte Altern rnat ativ ivel ely, y, an asse assemb mbly ly definition may be created to access existing macros or forms.

The form opens showing a 3D View of the currently selected assemb assembly ly belongi belonging ng to the current current Sub-Type Sub-Type.. A Sub-Typ Sub-Type e may contain numerous assemblies. Alternative Sub-Types can be selected which allows access to the members held within. In this case the Samples assembl assembly y area Sub-Type has been selected followed by the Flanged tee assembly. tee assembly. The 3D View is updated to show the selected assembly.

AVEVA Everything3D™ (2.1) Pipework Modelling TM-1810 When the selection of assembly has been made, it can be inserted into a straight tube or connected to a component component by clicking clicking the Insert Insert button button or Connect buttons Connect buttons respectively. If the assembly contains directional or multi bore components, additional details will be requested via the CHOOSE and CHOOSE and Input forms Input forms during the building process.

Thi This happ happen ens s automat automatica ically lly if the offline offline branch branch of the assemb assembly ly has has a conne connect ctio ion n type type of OPEN OPEN,, CLOS, CLOS, VENT or DRAN. A similar result would be achieved using the Connect button on the Piping Component Editor form, but in this case, the tee would be connected to the previous or next component.

By default, assembly origins are at the arrive point of the first component in the first branch of the assembly. Certain assemblies need to be positioned using a different position, i.e. a simple assembly consisting of a flange, gasket and flange may need to be positioned by the face of the first flange. The assembly origin point is configurable using the Pipe Assembly Manager form. form. If an origin has been defined, it will automatically be used to position the assembly. If an assembly is connected to a component then the position is derived by connecting the first component to the existing one. As seen in the previous example, there are instances where some user interaction is required during the creation of the assembly. The most common instances of this are:





Leave Leave Bore of a Reduce Reducerr – The arrive arrive bore can be determine determined d by the bore size size at the inserti insertion on point. However there are often numerous possibilities for the leave bore which requires some user interaction. Offline Offline Bore of a Tee – This is similar to the above, above, the arrive arrive bore can be determined determined by the existing existing components but there are numerous possibilities for the offline bore of the tee.

The above issues can often be overcome with the use of rules during the creation of the assembly, but a simple assembly assembly with no rules would require some form of user interaction. interaction.

Splitt Sp litting ing and Mer Mergin ging g

It is often necessary to split pipes into more than one branch or pipe. This may be to make the isometric drawing clearer or as a process requirement. Pipes can be split on an existing component, a plane or into segments of a specified length. Pipe assemblies are inserted at the split points when using the plane or segments length options. Conversely the merging functionality can be used to merge pipes or branches into a single element. There are obviously some restrictions in relation to the original structure of the pipes and branches that need to be taken in to consideration. consideration.

CHAPTER 11 11 Pipe Penetration and Hole Management On a typical AVEVA E3D project it is necessary for designers to create holes in panel elements, i.e. deck plates, plates, grating, grating, walls, walls, floors, floors, etc. etc. Due to the implic implicati ations ons on design design integr integrity ity and cost, cost, the hole creati creation on process needs to be controlled and managed. The Piping Designer would not be able to create holes in floor plates or wall panels as these items would have been created by another design discipline for example the Structural Department. These design items would be held in another database for which the Piping Designer would only have read access. A method of requesting, approving or rejecting a hole between disciplines is required; in AVEVA E3D this is known as Hole Management. The Piping Designer locates and sizes the hole and then makes a request for the hole to be created, usually by the Structural Structural designer.

 For the purposes purposes of the traini training ng we will assume that we are both the Piping Designer Designer and the Structural Approver so that the full workflow can be discussed.

11.1 11. 1

Introd Int roduc uction tion to Hol Hole e Ma Manag nagem ement ent

AVEVA E3D controls and manages holes using the Hole Management application which facilitates: 

Communicatio Communication n of hole data between disciplines disciplines including including the Request Request and Approval processes. processes.



Ensuring Ensuring holes are only created created by users with with appropriate appropriate write access access permissions. permissions.





Perform Performing ing validati validation on checks on managed managed holes holes and providing providing feedback feedback to users users on the hole status. Generation Generation of reports reports for managed managed holes.

Generally in AVEVA E3D projects discipline Designers do not have write access to items created by other disci discipl plin ines es.. For For examp example le,, a Pipi Piping ng Desi Design gner er does does not not have have writ write e acce access ss to Struc Structu tural ral eleme element nts s and and Structural Designers do not have write access to Piping elements. With Hole Hole Manage Management ment,, penetra penetratio tion n holes holes are specifi specified ed and request requested ed by the penetrat penetrating ing discipl discipline ine,, normall normally y piping, piping, HVAC, HVAC, cable cable or equipmen equipmentt design designers. ers. They are approved approved by the penetr penetrated ated discipl discipline ine,, normall normally y struct structural ural designers. designers. For cases cases where where a penetr penetrati ation on is require required d for a steel steel section section through through a deck/floor deck/floor plate, the hole would be specified, specified, requested and approved approved by the structural structural discipline. discipline. The specification of a penetration hole by the relevant discipline in the appropriate Model application creates a ‘virtual’ virtual’ hole in the panel element, consisting of a FRMW and two FIXING elements. Each fixing element has has a Speci Specific ficat atio ion n Refe Referen rence ce (Spre (Spref) f) attr attrib ibut ute e that that poin points ts to the the hole hole defi defini nitio tion n in the catal catalogu ogue. e. An Association (ASSOC) element that references all of the hole elements is also created. Once the ‘virtual ‘virtual’’ hole has been created, the penetrating discipline enters the Hole Management application and requests the hole. The owner of the panel, normally the Structural discipline, then reviews and approves (or rejects) the hole request using the mechanism provided by the Hole Management application. The act of approving the request creates the ‘actual ‘actual’’ hole as a PFIT a PFIT owned owned by the PANE the PANE element. element. The Hole Management application checks and validates the hole using the association restrictions and stores data on the hole history and status. Only valid holes may be approved. For a structural penetration the Structural Designer may be both the requester and approver, although specific company procedures, controlled by DAC, may be required if the Originator and Reviewer need to be different.

Introd Int roduc uction tion to Non Non-Pe -Penet netrat ration ion Man Manage aged d Ho Holes les

In addition to penetration penetration holes, the Hole Management application application enables creation of non-penetratio non-penetration n holes in structural panels. These holes fall into two general categories: 

Holes that that are required, required, say, for access to a piece piece of equipment, equipment, a valve or other design design item.



Holes that that are created created by a panel fitting, fitting, e.g. e.g. a hatch, hatch, door, window, window, etc.

For non-penetration managed holes that are not created by a fitting, with the exception of a User Defined hole type, the ‘virtual’ hole is created as a single FIXING in a new FRMW, as described for penetration holes. holes. This fixing fixing has a Specifi Specificat cation ion Reference Reference (Spref) attribut attribute e that that points points to the hole definit definition ion in the catalo catalogue gue.. An Associ Associati ation on (ASSOC) (ASSOC) element element that referen references ces all of the hole hole element elements s is also also created created.. Approving the hole creates a PFIT owned by the PANE. User Defined hole shapes are created using a template and negative extrusion in a similar way as described below for Fitting Fitting holes. For non-penetration holes that are created by a panel fitting, the ‘virtual’ hole is created as a single FIXING in a new FRMW. The fixing owns a Template (TMPL) element that owns a negative extrusion (NXTR) whose vertices describe the required hole shape. The fitting is created as a FIXING element owned by the PANE whose Spref attribute points into the catalogue to the selected fitting. An Association (ASSOC) element that referen references ces all of the hole element elements s is also also create created. d. Approvi Approving ng the hole creates creates an NXTR owned owned by the PANE that is a copy of the ‘virtual’ hole NXTR. Non-penetration managed holes, of either type, may be associated with any other element in Model. The holes have the same request/approval process as penetration holes; however, as they are created solely by the structural discipline the Structural Designer may be both the requester and approver.

APPENDIX B Appendix B – Insulation and Tracing

B.1 - Adding / Controlling Insulation Insulation can be added at pipeline or branch level, AVEVA E3D controls the insulation from the insulation specification that is created in the Paragon module. Paragon module.

The insulati insulation on can be control controlled led by the range of tempera temperatur ture e and bore to control the thickness of insulation to be added. The image shows an extract from the Paragon module. Paragon module.

When a pipe is created, using the Pipe Editor: Create Pipe form form the the insu insula lati tion on spec specifi ifica cati tion on and and tempe tempera ratu ture re can can be specified for the pipeline. In this case the insulation thickness is dependent upon the bore and temperature.

Alternatively, the thickness of the insulation can be selected directly. In this case the temperature and bore are irrelevant for the purpose of insulation. insulation.

Once this information exists against a routed pipe the insulation can be displayed. On the VIEW tab, VIEW tab, in the Settings group, Settings group, click the Graphics Graphics button button to display the Graphics Settings form. Settings form. The Representation The Representation tab contains an Insulation Visibility / Translucency options list allowing the translucency of the insulation to be set.

Sometimes insulation may not be required over the total length of the branch, for example the section of a pipe upstream of a feature may not require insulation. The insulation can be terminated at a component in the pipe by setting the components Insulation Specification attribute (Ispec (Ispec)) to Nulref . This will remove the insulation from the component and the implied pipe downstream of the component. The insulation can be removed from further components in the pipe if required, using the same method.

APPENDIX D Appendix D – Hole Management Request and Approval Workflow

D.1 – Hole Creation/Modification Workflow

In this workflow the Originator creates the ‘virtual’ hole and then either requests it or deletes the entry. Once requested, the Originator may cancel the request and delete the entry prior to it being reviewed. If requested and not cancelled or deleted, the Reviewer checks the hole details and, if OK, approves the hole, thereby creating the ‘actual’ ‘actual’ hole. If the Reviewer rejects the hole then the Originator can either modify the ‘virtual’ hole and re-request the hole or cancel the request and delete the entry.

D.2 – Redundant Hole Workflow

In this workflow the ‘actual’ hole has been created. The Originator decides that the hole is now redundant and sets its status to Redundant. Before the Originator can delete the entry the Reviewer must agree that the hole is redundant.
