Supports User Guide
Introduction
Introduction
The Supports application is supplied as part of AVEVA E3D™. The application is a powerful suite of facilities designed by engineers, for creating, analysing and documenting logically interconnected support structures.
The Supports application allows you to create supports for piping, cable trays and HVAC. It is highly interactive, enabling you to design supports with the minimum of effort. The Supports application is also highly configurable, allowing the administrator to define project-related defaults, to control the design of supports, and to determine the range and types of ancillary components that can be used on a project.
The standard supports in the application are designed using structural sections and are template driven. A default set of structural templates based on British Standard steelwork sections is supplied with the Supports application. Any relevant national standard for steelwork sections can be used by configuring the supplied templates. Refer to Project Setup for further information.
If the templates supplied do not suit project or company requirements, the administrator may configure them. Alternatively, contact AVEVA Solutions to investigate the requirement.
Ancillaries are elements, such as u-bolts, bolt-on shoes, anchors, or slip-units, which are attached to pipes. Ancillaries associated with the templates are those suitable for, or available with the standard.
Ancillaries for cable trays and HVAC, sometimes referred to as fixings, are deemed to be the responsibility of the relevant contractor and are not dealt with in this application.
