Design Database
The Design databases contain all information needed to create a full-scale three-dimensional representation of the plant.
Each user is normally allowed to modify the Design databases which relate to his function in the design team, and will often have permission to look at other Design databases so that his work is compatible with that of other designers.
Typical design functions, each of which may use a different Design database, include:
•
Equipment design (process vessels, storage vessels, pumps, heat exchangers etc.)
•
Pipework design (the interconnecting pipes between the various equipment items)
•
Structural design (the columns, beams, walls, stairways etc. which support and give access to the operational equipment and pipework)
•
Hangers and Supports (specialised pipe support structures)
The compositions of the principal types of design element are described in the Data Model Reference Manual refer to Introduction for further information.
