AVEVA Catalogue : Model View
The Model View window is used to define or modify the size, geometry and other characteristics of a component. These are also used in setting the attributes of the pointsets, geomsets and datasets to which the component refers.
Use the Model References part of the Model View window to create administrative elements and component parameters, define the axis system and p-points, group primitive elements and DATA elements, also referred to reference data

An administrative element used to separate generic elements of particular types in the hierarchy. Refer to Catalogue Sections (SECT and STSEC) and Categories (CATE and STCA) for further information.
Catalogue components which contain the parameters and the references of the component. Refer to Elements Used in Both Types of Catalogue Section/Category, Elements Used in Piping Sections/Categories, Elements Used in Structural Sections/Categories and Catalogue Components for further information.
3D P-point Set (PTSET)
To define a point set which is a definition of the position, direction, connection type and bore of a Component’s P-points, to be used by MODEL, ISODRAFT and so on. Refer to 3D Pointsets (PTSET) for further information.
The numbering of P-points of piping components must follow certain conventions, refer to Piping Components for further information.
To define a point set which is a definition of the position, direction, connection type and bore of a Component’s P-points, to be used by MODEL, ISODRAFT and so on. Refer Structural Pointsets (PTSSET) for further information.
A 3D Geometry Set (usually abbreviated to 3D Geomset) is a grouping of the primitive elements which make up a piping component, joint or fitting. It specifies the dimensions, orientation and obstruction geometry of each primitive. Refer to 3D Geomsets (GMSET), 3D Geomset Primitives and Constructing 3D Geomsets and for further information.
A NGMSET is a grouping of negative 3D primitive elements which are used to represent holes or end preparations for structural items. It specifies the dimensions, orientation and obstruction geometry of each negative primitive. Refer to Negative 3D Geomsets (NGMSET) and Negative Primitives for further information.
A GMSSET is a grouping of 2D primitive elements used to make up structural profiles. It specifies the dimensions, orientation and obstruction geometry of each primitive. The Geomset defines the symbol that is drawn for a particular Component by AVEVA Catalogue (and MODEL) and also defines the obstruction geometry of the Component for use when clash checking. Each symbol is built up from a combination of the following three types of primitive:. Refer to Structural Geomsets (GMSSET), Structural Geomset Primitives and Constructing Structural Geomsets for further information.
A Data Set (DTSE element) is a grouping of DATA elements, (usually abbreviated to Dataset), holding any catalogue data not stored more specifically elsewhere and which is required for use in MODEL or DRAW. A Data Set can be created below a Section (SECT element) or a Category (CATE element). Refer to Data Set (DTSET) for further information.
A Bolt Set (BTSE) element is the administrative element for catalogue component bolting information. It can also be used to store information for the standard bolt holes. The standard bolt holes are numbered from 1 to NOFF. It owns BLTP (Bolt Point) elements, which store the bolting information for an individual bolt for a particular type of flange. Refer to Bolting Tables and Bolting for further information.
Essentially there are four types of catalogue components, Piping component, profile, joint and fitting. Refer to Catalogue Components, Piping Component, Profile, Joints and Fitting for further information.
All classes of component can use component parameters, design parameters and insulation parameters. Structural Components can also use attached and owning design parameters. Component parameters are defined in the Catalogue; the other classes of parameters allow characteristics to be set during the design process.
The Parameter Definitions part of the Model View window is used to create, define, modify and delete the component definitions. On creation of a CATE or SCTA the window is automatically populated with default parameters dependent upon the element being created. For example, as the Piping discipline is active, the default parameter Nominal Bore is displayed in the Parameter Definitions part of the Model View window. Refer to
