Clash Reporting, Audit and Recomputation

AVEVA Clash Manager™ 14.3 User Guide

Design Workflow : Clash Reporting, Audit and Recomputation

To view the clash statistics discipline-by-discipline on the AVEVA Clash Manager window, refer to Overview of Clash Data for further information.

Run More Clash Sets

As the design of the 3D model continues, the scope of the existing Clash Set can be extended and/or more Clash Sets can be created and then run, as outlined above.

Note:

If the normal process of reading desclash output files and post-processing the data and loading it into the AVEVA Clash Manager database is interrupted or fails, the considerable time already spent running desclash need not be wasted. The entire set of desclash output files may be loaded, replacing any partially loaded. Alternatively, selected files may be merged into the results of the last Clash Run. Initiate these actions the AVEVA Clash Manager Configuration window - Manually Load Clash Files. Refer to Manually Load Clash Files for further information.

Recomputation

The actions carried out using the AVEVA Clash Manager Configuration window as described previously, in general, would not be repeated. However, if significant changes have to be made at this window, recomputation must be performed at the AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Recomputation window which, in these circumstances, is automatically displayed.

When changes are made to the 3D model, it is necessary either to perform Clash Recomputation or to re-run all affected Clash Sets, in order to update AVEVA Clash Manager data. The AVEVA Clash Manager - Clash Recomputation window is not automatically displayed following a change in the 3D model, and must be accessed manually to enable recomputation to be performed. Refer to Recomputation for further information.

Track Changes

As more Clash Sets are run, the statistics displayed at the AVEVA Clash Manager window apply to the combination of all Clash Sets. This information, applicable to the current date, can be stored as a Milestone for future reference in determining the progress made on the project. The creation of the Milestone is by selecting Track Changes from the AVEVA Clash Manager Configuration window. As required create milestones, refer to Track Changes for further information.

Continuing Tasks

The appropriate tasks are repeated until all clashes are resolved. As required, make use of the facilities for automatic overnight operations of:

•

Running a Clash Set or Tracking Changes

•

Report on the Project-wide Clash Status by the preferred method.
