AVEVA Clash Manager™ 14.3 User Guide

Clash Manager Configuration : Implement Clash Manager on an Existing Project

The key activities that are typically employed on a project utilising AVEVA Clash Manager are to report and resolve modelling interferences. The two types of user that would carry out these activities are administrators and project discipline designers.

The following describes the responsibilities of each user and provides guidance for a ‘best practice’ implementation of AVEVA Clash Manager onto a small, medium or large DESIGN project.

Discipline Designer Role

Depending on the size and scope of the project the first thing to decide is what role the discipline designers take in the clash resolution process. There are typically three approaches that can be taken:

•

All discipline designers have access to the AVEVA Clash Manager reports and are responsible for ensuring the clash free status of their part of the 3D model. This approach is most suitable for medium to large projects where a large clash data set is anticipated and requires frequent review by all designers on a regular basis.

•

Discipline leads or a small number of nominated discipline designers are given access to the AVEVA Clash Manager reports. These users are responsible for ensuring the clash free status of their discipline’s part of the 3D model. This approach is most suitable for small to medium projects where a small team of users can adequately manage and review the AVEVA Clash Manager reports on a regular basis.

•

An overall clash coordinator is responsible for all clashes on the project and is tasked to review the AVEVA Clash Manager reports and perform clash resolution in consultation with discipline designers. This approach is most suitable for small projects where only a small clash data set is anticipated and can be easily handled by one person on a part time basis.

The options described above are for guidance only but represent the typical approaches taken by existing users in the deployment of AVEVA Clash Manager. It may be decided to adopt one of the above approaches directly or formulate a specific solution to match the specific project requirements.
