Common Functionality

Getting Started : Applications

Model is divided into a number of functional applications which enables a full sized three dimensional model to be defined in the design database, with selected views of the current state of the design shown on the graphics screen as the design progresses. To change to a different application on the top left of the window select the drop-down arrow next to GENERAL to display a drop-down list of all the available applications. Select the required application.


GENERAL	Allows you to view all the common functions of the different applications.
EQUIPMENT	Allows you to create and manipulate equipment that is available for all projects by associating it with a catalogue. Refer to Equipment for further information.
PIPING	Allows you to create, analyse and document logically interconnected piping networks. Refer to Piping for further information.
HVAC	Allows you to design and detail complex ducting networks within a full 3D environment, with the support of tools to produce a clash free design. Refer to HVAC for further information.
CABLING SYSTEM	Allows you to create or select cables from the catalogue, optionally connected to equipment, before being joined to a cableway and routed along a cableway. Refer to Cable Design for further information.
CABLE TRAY	Allows you to create a cable tray element and is added to the cableways either automatically or manually. Refer to Cable Trays for further information.
STRUCTURES	Allows you to create structural steelworks within a full 3D environment, with the support of tools to produce a clash free design. Refer to Structural Design for further information.
SUPPORTS	Allows you to create supports for piping, cable trays, (Both piping based cable trays (BRAN) and cable trays (CTRAY) created by the Cabling System) and HVAC. It is highly interactive, enabling you to design supports with the minimum of effort. Refer to Supports for further information.
DESIGN TEMPLATES	Allows you to create a design template by creating an instance of the template in the DESIGN DB. When a design template is instanced, the template contents are copied into the design hierarchy; they can then be modified locally as required. Refer to Design Templates for further information.
