How it works

Once a component is selected, a Specification Reference (SPREF) is identified and held in the MODEL database. The SPREF points to a Specification Component (SPCOM) in the specification, this in turn points to a catalogue component (SCOM, SPRF and son on) in the catalogue.

When working within the PIPEWORK, EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL, STRUCTURES or SUPPORTS disciplines, selecting any tab provides access to features specific to that discipline.

When working within a disciplines AVEVA Catalogue uses multi-purpose windows. For example, it is possible create either a pipework or structures specification from the same window by selecting the desired purpose. For an explanation of common window functionality refer to Multi-Purpose Windows
