CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Pipe routing is probably the activity that consumes most time on any large project and it is also one, which causes the most problems. Pipe routing in PDMS has always been one of the major strengths of the system, as you will discover in this module.
1.1
Aim
The aim of the course is to provide the skills required to use the PDMS Piping Design application in the most productive way, to introduce some of the techniques that are used in the other Design applications and have an understanding of Piping components, routing, checking isometrics and simple Clash detection.
1.2
Objectives
At the end of this Piping Design training course, the participants will able to: Understand the basic concepts of Pipes and Branches. Understand the use of piping specifications in AVEVA Plant. Understand the concept of branch heads and tails and the importance of component list order and flow direction within a branch. Create position and orientate piping components. Orient and position components in falling pipelines. Apply Insulation and Tracing to the pipelines Use more complex positioning with relation to other design items. Run Data Consistency Checks to screen or file including Parameters and Tolerances and to understand most of the diagnostic messages. Perform simple Clash Checks Understand Basic Hole Management Produce Check Isometrics. Create and use Piping Design Assemblies. Understand pipe splitting on components or by using Assemblies.

CHAPTER 2
Pipework Modelling
The following Chapter describes how PDMS is used for modelling Pipework. There is a separate design hierarchy for pipe routing, as shown below. In principle, each pipe element may own a number of branches. In turn, branches may own a number of piping components, e.g.: valves, reducers, tees, flanges, etc. The difference between pipes and branches is that a branch is only considered to have two ends, while a pipe may have any number of ends, depending on the number of branches it owns. Below shows a pipe with three ends and two branches. The second branch is connected to the first at the tee.
This brings in another rule that says that although a branch only has two ends, it may own components (in this case a tee), which connects to other branches. These simple concepts enable any number of piping configurations to be developed, and forms the basis of all existing designed PDMS Pipework.
Alternatively the branch could leave the tee through the offline leg as shown.

2.1
Entering a Design Session
To start the PDMS application, Select All Programs > AVEVA > PDMS 12.0 > Run PDMS
The trainer will provide PDMS User Names and Passwords. Typically, these will be as follows: On the AVEVA PDMS Login box, enter Project Username Password MDB Module and then click Training A.PIPER A A-PIPING Design OK TRA
A default screen layout will be displayed comprising the general menu bar for the application and a Design Explorer window showing all the objects from the current project database. Design windows can be repositioned and, in some cases, resized.
Once the Design application has been started, if necessary, switch from the General application to the Pipework application. Select Design > Pipework from the main menu to change application.
www.aveva.com

2.2
Piping Specifications
In the same way that design offices have standard piping specifications, PDMS has a set of specifications from which the designer can select. All the components within PDMS must be defined in the Catalogue and be placed in a Specification before they can be sleeted. In the Training Project there are three such specifications: A1A A3B F1C = = = ANSI CLASS 150 CARBON STEEL ANSI CLASS 300 CARBON STEEL ANSI CLASS 150 STAINLESS STEEL
These specifications contain all the fittings required for the course exercises.
2.3
Setting the Appropriate Specification
The first task when building a pipe is to decide which specification to use. For the Training Project, the first letter in the pipe name represents the specification to be used. For example, the pipe /150-B-5 has the letter B to represent the specification. The specification letters are as follows: A = /A1A B = /A3B C = /F1C Having decided on the appropriate specification, this is then set as an attribute of the pipe. Any subsequent branches will automatically be assigned with the same specification (although this can be re-specified if required).
The default Insulation and Tracing Specifications can also be set using this form but are only active when ticked.

2.5
Pipe Creation Form
To Display the Pipe Creation form, select the Show pipe creation form icon from the Pipework Toolbar
The Create Pipe form is now displayed. Pipes hold reference data i.e. Primary System, Pipe, Insulation and Tracing Specs, and also the Temperature and Pressure of the pipe.
Before creating the pipe, it is necessary to navigate to the correct zone using the Design Explorer,
The Bore field indicated on the form is the nominal bore for this pipe and does not affect the pipe route.
2.6
Pipe Branches
Branches serve two purposes: They define the start and finish points of a pipe route (known as the Head and Tail in PDMS). They own the piping components, which define the route.
The position and order of the piping components below branch level determine the physical route. In PDMS it is only necessary to consider the fittings, because the pipe that appears between fittings is automatically set (or implied) by PDMS according to the specifications of the fittings.
2.7
Pipe Branch Heads and Tails
All branches need to have a start and end point. These can be a position in space (3D co-ordinates), the flange face of a nozzle, a tee or various other points in your design. Heads and tails are set up via a series of attributes that belong to the branch element.
The Branch head is at the face of Nozzle 1 and the Branch Tail is at the face of Nozzle 2. www.aveva.com 15
2.7.1
Branch Head Attributes
HPOS The position in the zone where the branch starts. HCON The connection type of the branch end (Up to a 4 character code for flanged, butt weld, screwed, etc.). HDIR The direction in which the start of the branch is pointing (as if you were looking down the bore). HBOR The bore of the pipe (this can be metric or imperial). HREF The name of the item to which the branch head is connected (e.g. /C1101-N1). If this is not set, then the branch is open to the atmosphere for a vent or drain. HSTU This is a reference to the catalogue, which determines the material of the first piece of pipe, between the start of the branch and the first fitting (this still needs to be set, even if there is a fitting connected directly to the head).
2.7.2
Branch Tail Attributes
TPOS The position in the zone where the branch ends. TCON The connection type of the branch end (Up to a 4 character code for flanged, butt weld, screwed, etc.). TDIR The direction in which the end of the branch is pointing (as if you were looking back down the bore). TBOR The bore of the pipe (this can be metric or imperial). TREF The name of the item to which the branch tail is connected (e.g. /150-A-3). If this is not set, then the branch is open to the atmosphere for a vent or drain.
It is not necessary to specify each of these attributes every time a branch is created. On most occasions when a branch head or tail is defined, it will be connected to another pipe or to a nozzle. The act of connecting to another item sets the branch head/tail attributes automatically.
A Pipe is just an administration element. The Branch element holds the geometric data .On selection of Apply on the Pipe Form the Modify Pipe form is automatically displayed so that the branch head and tails can be specified.
www.aveva.com
16
2.8
Pipe Branch Head / Tail Positioned Explicitly
After clicking the Change button on the Head/Tail Detail pane above, the following form appears: When setting the Branch Head or Tail explicitly, each of the previously described Branch attributes needs to be specified. Bore: Nominal Bore size of the pipe. The pull-down list contains all sizes available in the specification. Connection: Short code eg: FBB, FBD defining the Head connection type The Pick Position link label can be used to graphically set the World Position. Position: Position in world co-ordinates The Copy To Tail button can be used to set the position of the Branch Tail to the same position as the Branch Head.
The Head Direction is the direction of the flow and the Tail Direction is opposite to the flow.
Refer to the AVEVA coding standards for a full definition of connection types.
2.9
Pipe Branch Head / Tail Connected
Use the Change button on the Head/Tail Connection pane to connect the head to another database item, e.g.: Nozzle, Branch Head/Tail, etc Using the graphical Pick button, select an item to connect the pipe head to. A list of available connections form is displayed, Select the appropriate connection and then press Connect.
This sets the pipe head attributes HPOS and HDIR
www.aveva.com
17
2.10
Pipe Branch Components (Pipe Fittings)
When a branch head and tail is initially defined, the branch will consist of a single piece of pipe running in a straight line between the head and tail positions. This will appear as a dotted line between the two points unless the head and tail are aligned along a common axis and have the same bore. (The dotted line indicates that the branch route is geometrically incorrect.)
The next step in designing a pipe is to create and position a series of fittings, which define the pipe route required. Just as on a drawing board, it is necessary to decide which piping components are needed in order to satisfy the requirements of the process. The components must be arranged so that the pipe meets the design requirements. However, unlike on the drawing board, it is not necessary to know any fitting dimensions; PDMS derives these automatically from the catalogue. To create components, first select an item from the list of fittings available from the associated piping specification. Typical fitting types are Elbows, Tees, Reducers, Flanges, Gaskets and Valves etc. There is some intelligence built into the PDMS forms so that by placing for example a valve the associated Gaskets and Flanges will also be created. For all piping components, the following procedure must be followed: Select the component from the piping specification, position the component and set the orientation. Tube does not have to be created explicitly; it is created automatically and implied between adjacent fittings.
2.11
Creating Branch Components (Pipe Fittings)

The Component Types list shows the piping components that are available in the current piping specification. The piping specification attribute is set at both Pipe and Branch level. The Select button is used to select components from an alternative specification. Components are created by selecting the required fitting type from the list displayed.
www.aveva.com
18
2.12
Component Creation Form

The Component Creation form shows details of all the Sub-Types available in the piping specification. . For example a Flange may be Slip-on, Weld Neck, Screwed or Blind. Select the Sub-Type required for the Design process. Items are created in order with or against the flow of the pipe. A tick box is available to automatically create adjacent components. This is very useful for creating the flanges of in-line flanged components. For example, if a Valve is added the gaskets and flanges will also be added.

Branch Components List Order
With equipment and structures, the order in which you create items is of no importance to the final outcome. With piping components, the order in which they are laid out, as well as their individual positions and orientations, determines the final pipe route.
To help with this a Component Position Pointer is displayed. Below is an example Design Explorer list showing the components of a branch /100-B-8/B1 By default TUBE is not shown in the Design Explorer window.
www.aveva.com

2.15
Typical Design Explorer showing Tube

Tube is shown by changing the Explorer setting
Settings > Explorer
Select Show TUBI/ROD
The example below shows the Explorer Window with the Tube Shown.
When using PDMS the list order becomes second nature after the creation of a number of branches. In the interim, pay attention to the list order. Consider carefully where the next item is going to be inserted by watching the Component pointer and the Design Explorer.
When creating a component at the pipe branch head or pipe branch tail, it is necessary to be positioned at Branch level. 24

2.16
Arrive and Leave Points
Piping components have Ppoints (similar to those for equipment primitives).The significance of Ppoints is twofold. Firstly, they define the connection points, and secondly, they determine the branch flow through the component by means of Arrive and Leave attributes. For the reducer shown below, the large end is at P1 and the small end is at P2. If this component is used to increase the bore of the branch, the flow in the direction of the branch will be from P2 to P1. In order to tell PDMS the necessary flow direction , there are two numeric attributes, Arrive and Leave, which must be set to the ppoint numbers required. In this case, Arrive would be set to 2 and Leave would be set to 1. (The default is Arrive 1 Leave 2). This is included for information, as the forms and menus will handle all connections.

2.17 Quick Pipe Routing

The Quick Pipe Routing Handle has three parts, Extend Route Handle Cardinal Direction Handles This is used to extend the route in the direction indicated by the handle. These are used to change the direction of the routing to one of the cardinal directions from the current frame of reference. These allow the extended route handle to be interactively directed by the user.
Rotational Handles Cardinal Direction Handles
Rotational Handles
Extend Route Handle The quick pipe routing handle is used to define a routing vector within the constraints of the currently selected badly defined route. A badly defined route is defined in general terms as where either, there is a bad alignment between two components, the head or tail of a branch is incomplete, i.e. where the head/tail attributes are left in their default state, the head/tail is positioned but not connected and the head/tail connection type is unset. This usually equates to the dotted line representation of implied tube, where implied tube cannot be drawn. An exception to the above could be where a Pipe Branch does not have specification reference set. The handle can be dragged by using either primary or secondary mouse buttons. By default the handle will move in multiples of the currently defined linear increments. If the secondary mouse button is clicked as the cursor is over the pipe routing handle, the user will be presented with a context sensitive menu. The menu will display the available options which relate to the drag.
2.18 Extended Handle Pop-ups

The following options are available on the Extend Handle before a drag.
Enter Offset
This gives the Constrained Move form which allows you to enter an offset from the current handles position in the current routing direction.
www.aveva.com
26
Enter Leg Length Distance From Origin
Extend Through Feature Orient to Point
Align with Direction Explicit Direction Component Choice
Distance Feedback
Show Rotation Handles Cancel
This gives the Leg Length form which lets you enter an absolute distance of the handle from the last previous change in the directions position. This displays the Explicit Distance form which allows you to enter an absolute distance of the handle from the previous components origin position. This allows you to identify features with which to align, along the current route direction. This directs the handle either directly to a point feature or rotates about the vertical axis, maintaining horizontal offset, when a linear feature is identified. This allows you to identify features with which the handle is to be aligned. This gives the Enter Direction for <direction> Axis form which lets you enter an explicit direction for the handle. This allows you to select the type of Component that is created by the Routing Handle when a change in direction occurs. The Component can be set to either Elbows or Bends. This allows you to select how the Routing Handle displays distance feedback. This can be set to either Offset (offset from the previous handles position), Leg Length (distance of the handle from the last previous change in directions position), or From Origin (distance of the handle from the previous Components origin position). Use the D 'hotkey' to cycle through the options. This toggles the display of the Rotation Handles (selected by default). This returns the handle and selection to its original state before the drag
The following option is only available when the end being routed to is ill-defined, i.e. there is no End Route Handle displayed: Connect To This enables you to select an element which the route end can be connected to, eg unconnected Nozzles, Tees etc.
The following options are available on the Extend Handle on completion of a drag, i.e. when the secondary mouse button has been used to drag the handle and no special actions are active: Extend Cancel This leaves the handle at the shown position. This returns the handle and selection to its original state before the drag.
The following options are available when in snap to feature mode and the end being routed to is ill-defined or unconnected and the identified feature is a connectable p-point of an item to which an end can be connected, e.g. a Nozzle with no connection reference set: Extend Connect Connect and Complete Cancel This leaves the handle at the shown position This leaves the handle at the shown position and connects the ill-defined end to the identified target. This establishes a connection to the identified item and completes the route and exits the route mode when applicable. This returns the handle back to its original state before the drag.
The following options are available when in snap to feature mode and the end being routed to is well defined and the identified feature is the End Route Handle.
Extend Complete Cancel
leaves the handle at the shown position completes the route and exits the route mode when applicable. returns the handle back to its original state before the drag.

2.19 Rotational Handle Pop-ups

The following options are available on the Rotation Handle before a drag
Enter Value
This gives the Rotate Selection About form, enabling you to enter a value to rotate the graphical selection about the selected rotational axis This allows you to pick a p-line through a point with which to orient the Rotation Handle. This allows you to identify features with which the handle is to be aligned. Planes will be displayed to indicate a p-point direction (pointer symbol) or a p-line direction (symbol). Clicking and releasing the SHIFT key will reverse the direction of the handle. This displays the Enter Direction For <direction> Axis form which allows you to align the handle with a specified direction, or as close as possible to the given direction, about the axis of the Branch. Allows you to rotate the Locator Handle, using the same movement options as the main Rotation Handle menu. These options move the Locator Handle only, they do not move the Graphical Selection. Alternatively a 'freehand' movement of the Rotate Handle can be accomplished by clicking the H key with the handle selected and the left mouse button held down. The Locator Handle may be rotated independently of the Graphical Selection in order to change the frame of reference for the next operation on the Graphical Selection. This option aligns the Locator Handle with the World co-ordinate system, without rotating the Graphical Selection. The Locator Handle Y axis points North, and the Z axis points Up.

2.20 Quick Pipe Routing (Example)

The tasks of setting up pipes, branches and components are simplified by the use of forms and menus. The main thing to remember when using the application is which specification you are currently using as a default. The course exercises and examples will illustrate different means of pipe routing by giving examples of many of the situations you will encounter. The quick pipe routing functionality will allow the user to correct the path of a pipe wherever there is an ill defined route within a branch, i.e. where the dotted line is displayed instead of implied tube. Highlight the dotted line, and select the Model Editor icon from the Model Editor Toolbar. The Pipe Component Modification handle will now appear at the component leave end.
Enter the feature highlighting mode by clicking the F key on the keyboard or by selecting Selection > Feature Highlighting from the pull down menu
Select the pipe component modification handle and press the right mouse button. From the pop-up select Component Choice > Use Bends. Holding down the left mouse button, drag the pipe modification handle across to the other end and still holding down the left mouse button, click the right mouse button. A second pop-up appears, select complete
The bend and the implied tube are added to complete the route
The bend that has been added by the system can later be changed to a smaller radius bend or an elbow. If the component choice had been Use Elbows, then this would not have completed the route due the default elbow component is the first elbow component in the specification i.e. a 45 degree elbow
Selecting the Pipe component modification handle with the right hand mouse button will result in the implied tube been shown translucently

Exercise 1 Pipe Branch Worked Example

Create pipe 100-B-8 and Pipe Branch 100-B-8/B1 as shown in the worked example above.
Exercise 2 - Creating a Second Branch

To complete the pipe create a second Branch that connects the tee to pump /P1501B. Build up the Branch components as before. A new branch is created using the Show pipe modification form
www.aveva.com
44
Select the <New Branch> Button Connect the Branch Head to the Tee and the Pipe Tail to the Suction Nozzle of pump /P1501B. Following the previous example, connect the Flanges at the Branch Tail, quick route the elbow using the Model Editor and then place the Valve.
When creating components, ensure that the correct branch has been set by using the <Set Branch> button on the Create Components form.
Exercise 3 - Building the Pipework

Start to build up the Pipework on the plant. Refer to the drawings for positions and components required along each pipe. Select the correct specification for each pipe. In general, the naming convention of the pipes is built up from pipe size, the third character of the specification (A3B) and a line number. Create the pipes 80-B-7, 150-B-6, 250-B-5 AND 200-B-4 as detailed on the following pages::
www.aveva.com
45
Exercise 3a - Pipe 80-B-7

The Nozzles N2 on Equipment /E1302A and N1 on Equipment /D1201 are both the same size and are aligned vertically, therefore the implied tube will be displayed as shown below. It is only necessary to create a gasket and a flange at the Head and at the Tail of the Branch. Ensure the gaskets/flanges are created at branch level. The direction of flow is indicated by the black arrow. Hence the HEAD of the Branch is connected to Nozzle E1302A/N2 and the TAIL of the Branch is connected to Nozzle D1201/N1.
www.aveva.com
46
Exercise 3b - Pipe 150-B-6

The Flanges and elbows at both the Head and Tail of this pipe should be created fitting to fitting. The elbows are rotated as required using Model Editor. This is quite a simple pipe so it could be routed using quick route mode. The HEAD of the Branch is connected to Nozzle C1101/N5 and the TAIL of the Branch is connected to Nozzle E1302B/N1.
Use the Model Editor to rotate the first elbow to the East.
www.aveva.com
47
Exercise 3c - Pipe 250-B-5

In this example, it is necessary to create two Branches. Flow directions are indicated by the black arrows. The HEAD of the first Branch is connected to Nozzle E1301/N3 and the TAIL of the first Branch is connected to Nozzle C1101/N2. The HEAD of the second Branch is connected to Nozzle E1301/N2 and the Tail is connected to the TEE. Use the Align selection/component Icon on the Pipework Toolbar to position the first elbow at the correct elevation. This button is used to align components with the next item in list order. In this example, the Elbow is aligned with the Flange connected to the Branch Tail.
After creating the first two elbows, create a Concentric Reducer to increase the bore size from 200mm to 250mm. Use the Config icon on the RHS to indicate an increase in bore size is required. Define the leave bore required by using the pull down menu.
www.aveva.com
48
Exercise 3d - Pipe 200-B-4
The direction of flow is indicated by the black arrow. Hence the HEAD of the Branch is connected to Nozzle C1101/N3 and the TAIL of the Branch is connected to Nozzle E1301/N1. The bottom section of this pipe has a small offset of approx 15 Deg. To build this pipe, firstly create the Head flange/gasket and the first Elbow with Flow (forwards mode). Next, create the Tail flange/gasket and the connected Elbow against Flow (backwards mode) Create Elbow 2 with flow and align it to Elbow 3 using Align selection/component button as described earlier.
Elbow 2 can be then be directed to face towards the next elbow using the Direct selection/component Icon on the Pipework Toolbar. This button orientates the PL of the Current Element towards the next component.
Navigate to the Elbow 3, select against flow and use Direct selection/component to align the two elbows..

The Head of Branch 80-B-14/B1 is connected to the nozzle D1201/N2. The Tail Bore should be set to 80NB. Other branch tail details can be left as default. The pipe spec is /A3B. The pipe is routed from the branch head and completed by connecting the branch tail to the last member using the pipe modification form once the last gate valve is positioned.
Valve /FCV-113 is an Instrument Control Valve and is selected as an Instrument from the specification. Name the Instrument Valve using Modify > Name There is a second Branch 80-B-14/B2 which consists of a Globe Valve assembly only. The Tee required for this bypass is an 80 x 50 unequal Tee.
The Globe Valve, Flange and Gasket on the By-pass should be selected from the A300 Spec. On a project there may be a HOLD or Valve / Instrument spec for selecting in-line equipment that is not available in the current specification during initial pipe routing. On the Training Course spec A300 is being used for this purpose.
There are several Tee Types in the specification available for selection, e.g.:, Set-on, Sockolet and Butt Weld. In this case, select 50 bore and STYPE TEE which is an 80 x 50 Butt Weld Tee.

CHAPTER 5
Data Consistency Checker
This chapter demonstrates how to check the logical consistency of the design data. Data consistency checks highlight design errors which will then have to be corrected and rechecked. Data consistency checks are normally carried out before running clash detection facilities. It is more convenient to do a data check on individual pipes than to do the whole Plant in one go due to the number of errors that may be present.
5.1
Possible Types of Data Error
The data consistency checking utility, available within Designs Piping and Structural applications, checks the following aspects of your design (piping examples shown):
5.1.1
Angular Alignment
Checks that components which are to be connected together are aligned in the same direction:
PA is W30N PL is E
5.1.2
Axial Alignment
Checks that components which are to be connected together are aligned on a common axis:
offset axes
5.1.3
Consistent Bores
Checks that components which are to be connected together have consistent bores:
Leave Bore 50 Arrive Bore 100
5.1.4
Connection Types
Checks that components which are to be connected together have compatible connection types:
Flange connection Screwed connection
5.1.5
Minimum Tube Length
Checks that no length of tube is less than a prescribed minimum (which may depend on its bore).
Com ponent A
Com ponent B
Tube too short to allow for prac tic al assembly
www.aveva.com

5.2
Starting the Data Consistency Checks
To carry out data consistency checking from within the Piping application, select Utilities>Data Consistency. The following form is displayed:
By using this form, the user can generate a diagnostic report on the data consistency of any part of the design. The report may be listed on screen (in the area in the lower half of the form), or may be sent to file from which a hard copy version can be generated. Select Screen or File and, in the latter case, specify the directory and filename. Choose the hierarchic level at which you want to check the design using the Check list near top left of the form. The default is the current element. Navigate to Pipe 100-B-8 Select Check Pipe and Apply
5.2.1
Specifying Parameters and Tolerances
The data checking utility allows a margin of acceptable error before it reports a problem. These builtin tolerances have default values, but these values may be set using the Piping Consistency Check Options form Select the Piping Button
The above example shows the default settings for Angle, Offset, Ratio and Max. Angle.
www.aveva.com
76
5.2.2
Minimum Tube length
As an example, by default the report will output warnings for all tube lengths in the design which are shorter than 100mm. This allows the user to decide whether each such length is adequate for welding procedures, bolt withdrawal, access, and so on. The acceptable minimum length can be changed from 100mm, it is possible to set different minima for up to ten different pipe bore ranges if required. For example: A minimum length of 150mm for bores between 25 and 50. A minimum length of 300mm for bores between 50 and 100. To change any of the consistency check tolerances, use the appropriate Parameters button on the form (Piping for our current examples). And then select Tube Range. You will see a subsidiary form on which the current tolerances can be changed before carrying out the data checks.
5.3
Data Consistency Check Report Format
The report comprises a header, giving the date and time, followed by an itemised list of the elements being checked, together with numbered diagnostic messages describing any potential problems. For example: DATE 11 FEBRUARY 99 TIME 14.12 PIPE /PIPE2 BRAN /PIPE2/B1 B 10 TAIL REFERENCE NOT SET END If no problems are found, the following message is output: *** NO DATA INCONSISTENCIES ***
5.3.1
Data Consistency Diagnostic Messages
A full list of the data consistency diagnostic messages, each identified by a reference number, is listed in the DESIGN Reference Manual. With experience, you will be able to identify which messages indicate errors which must be corrected, and which are merely warnings of potential problems. As an example, consider the design feature shown below, namely a Pipe to Pipe connection, look at some of the possible diagnostic messages.

Some Examples of Data Consistency Diagnostic Messages
The following examples explain the significance of some of the messages you might see during this training course:
5.4.1
A 10
Branch Head Errors

HEAD REFERENCE NOT SET The Head reference should only be unset (i.e. zero) if the Head Connection Type HCONN is set to OPEN, VENT, CLOS or DRAN. HEAD REFERENCE POINTS TO NONEXISTENT ELEMENT This error would result from the deletion of a component, such as a Nozzle, to which the Head of the Branch was originally connected. BAD HEAD RETURN REFERENCE The Head is connected to an element that does not refer back to the Branch. This can occur when the Head of a Branch is connected to another Branch, implying that a Tee should be placed somewhere along the second Branch. The error can also occur when two or more branches are inadvertently connected to the same terminal. DIRECTION HDIR NOT SAME AS TERMINAL DIRECTION If the Head is connected to a terminal, such as a Nozzle or Tee, then the direction HDIR should always be identical to that of the appropriate ppoint of the terminal. POSITION HPOS NOT SAME AS TERMINAL POSITION If the Head is connected to a terminal, such as a Nozzle or Tee, then the position HPOS should always be identical to that of the appropriate ppoint of the terminal.
The following diagnostics apply only to the Head of a Branch:

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 A230 CONNECTION TYPE HCONN NOT SAME AS TERMINAL CONNECTION TYPE If the Head is connected to a terminal, such as a Nozzle or Tee, then the connection type HCONN should always be identical to that of the appropriate ppoint of the terminal. REFERENCE HSTUBE UNSET There is more than 1mm of tube between the Head and the parrive of the first Component (or the Tail), but HSTUBE is unset. REFERENCE HSTUBE REFERS TO A NONEXISTENT SPCOM This may occur if part of the Specification has been deleted. HSTUBE PROBLEM, CATREF IN SPCOM IS UNSET This indicates an error in the Specification. HSTUBE PROBLEM, CATREF IN THE SPCOM REFERS TO NONEXISTENT Catalogue COMPONENT This may occur if part of the Catalogue has been deleted or if the CATREF is unset. HBORE NOT SAME AS BORE OF HSTUBE The bore of any tube leading from the Head, determined from the Catalogue, should always be identical to HBORE. HCON NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CONNECTION TYPE OF HSTUBE The connection type of any tube leading from the Head, determined from the Catalogue, should be compatible with HCONN. ISPEC REFERENCE POINTS TO NONEXISTENT ELEMENT This error would occur if, for example, the Insulation Specification pointed to by ISPEC had been deleted.

5.4.2
Branch Tail Errors
The same type of errors may occur to the Tail of a Branch. The message numbers are the same as for the Head errors but are preceded by a B. B 10 TAIL REFERENCE NOT SET The Tail reference should only be unset (i.e. zero) if the Tail connection type TCONN is set to OPEN, VENT, CLOS or DRAN.
5.4.3
Plain Branch Errors
The following diagnostics can occur only for Branches with no piping components: C500 TUBE TOO SHORT BETWEEN HEAD AND TAIL The distance between the Head position, HPOS, and the Tail position, TPOS, is greater than zero and less than the specified minimum tube length (default: 100mm). BAD HEAD TO TAIL GEOMETRY Either the Head position, HPOS, does not lie at a positive distance along the line through TPOS in the direction TDIR or the Tail position, TPOS, does not lie at a positive distance along the line through HPOS in the direction HDIR.
C510
The following illustration shows some typical examples:
www.aveva.com
79
C520
HBORE NOT SAME AS TBORE When there are no components on the branch, the Head bore, HBORE, should be identical to the Tail bore, TBORE. HCONN IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TCONN This implies that the Head is connected directly to the Tail with no Tube or piping components in between; hence the Head connection type, HCONN, must be compatible with the Tail connection type, TCONN. THIS BRANCH HAS NO COMPONENTS This does not necessarily indicate an error. It is output as a warning.

5.4.4
ComponentSpecific Diagnostics
The following errors apply to individual piping components and, in some cases, to their adjacent connections. Some of the errors also apply to Nozzles.
5.4.4.1 AllComponent Diagnostics

These are applicable to any component, regardless of its position in the network: D100 REFERENCE SPREF UNSET This probably means that you have forgotten to choose the piping component correctly. CONN REFERENCE NOT SET Multiway Components may be left unconnected only if the connection type of the relevant ppoint is OPEN, CLOS, VENT, DRAN or NULL. CONN REFERENCE POINTS TO NONEXISTENT BRANCH This may occur if the Branch which is pointed to by the CONN reference has been deleted. BAD CONN RETURN REFERENCE This may occur if the Branch which is pointed to by the CONN reference has been reconnected to another terminal. ARRIVE TUBE LESS THAN TUBE MINIMUM. ACTUAL TUBE LENGTH IS ... The distance between the arrive ppoint of this component and the leave ppoint of the previous component (or Head) is greater than zero and less than the specified minimum tube length (default: 100mm). BAD ARRIVE GEOMETRY The position and direction of the arrive ppoint of this component are not correct with respect to the leave ppoint of the previous component (or Head). The error could be caused by incorrect positioning of this component, the previous component (or Head) or both.

CHAPTER 7
Hole Management
On a typical AVEVA Plant project it is necessary for designers to create holes in panel elements, i.e. deck plates, grating, walls, floors, etc. Due to the implications on design integrity and cost, the hole creation process needs to be controlled and managed. The Piping Designer would not be able to create holes in floor plates or wall panels as these items would have been created by another design discipline for example the Structural Department. These design items would be held in another database for which the Piping Designer would only have read access. A method of requesting, approving or rejecting a hole between disciplines is required; this is known as Hole Management. The Piping Designer locates and sizes the hole and then makes a request for the hole to be created by the other discipline.
7.1
For the purposes of the training we will assume that we are both the Piping Designer and the Structural Approver so that the full workflow can be discussed.
Introduction to Hole Management
PDMS controls and manages holes using the Hole Management application which facilitates: Communication of hole data between disciplines including Request and Approval processes. Ensuring holes are only created by users with appropriate write access permissions. Performing validation checks on managed holes and providing feedback to users on the hole status. Generation of reports for managed holes.
Generally in AVEVA Plant projects discipline Designers do not have write access to items created by other disciplines, i.e. a Piping Designer does not have write access to Structural elements and Structural Designers do not have write access to Piping elements, etc. With Hole Management penetration holes are specified and requested by the penetrating discipline, normally piping, HVAC or equipment designers and approved by the penetrated discipline, normally structural Designers. For cases where a penetration is required, say, for a steel section through a deck/floor plate, the hole would be specified, requested and approved by the structural discipline. The specification of a penetration hole by the relevant discipline in the appropriate Design application creates a virtual hole in the panel element, consisting of a FRMW and two FIXING elements. Each fixing element has a Specification Reference (Spref) attribute that points to the hole definition in the catalogue. An Association (ASSOC) element that references all of the hole elements is also created. Once the virtual hole has been created the penetrating discipline enters the Hole Management application and requests the hole. The owner of the panel, normally the Structural discipline, then reviews and approves (or rejects) the hole request using the mechanism provided by the Hole Management application. The act of approving the request creates the actual hole as a PFIT owned by the PANE element. The Hole Management application checks and validates the hole using the association restrictions and stores data on the hole history and status. Only valid holes may be approved. For a structural penetration the Structural Designer may be both the requester and approver, although specific company procedures, controlled by DAC, may be required if the Originator and Reviewer need to be different.
www.aveva.com
87
7.1.1
Hole Element Storage
The virtual hole FIXING elements are stored in a FRMW owned by a STRU whose Purpose attribute is set to HOLE, for example:
The STRU element is normally pre-defined by the System Administrator in the specific Design database. If a suitable STRU does not exist, the following error message is displayed:
The Hole Management associations are stored in an Association Group (ASSOGP) element owned by an Association World (ASSOWL) element. The ASSOGP must also have its Purpose attribute set to HOLE. The ASSOWL and ASSOGP elements are normally pre-defined by the System Administrator. An association is created for each hole and named on a simple sequential numbering system. Each association has several members of different element types that are not within the scope of this training guide. The Design Explorer may look like this: If no ASSOGP element with the Purpose set to HOLE can be found, the Hole Management application will create an ASSOGP in the first writeable ASSOWL element and set the Purpose attribute. If no writeable ASSOWL element can be found the following error message is displayed.
7.1.2
Request and Approval Workflow
Once the penetration hole has been specified and the virtual hole created, the Hole Management application provides a series of tasks for the Originator (Penetrating discipline) and Reviewer (Structural discipline). These tasks are: Originator Tasks Request Redundant Cancel Request Delete Entry Reviewer Tasks Approve Reject Agree Redundant
There are three main workflow scenarios for the request/approval cycle that are detailed in the following sections.
www.aveva.com
88
7.1.2.1 Hole Creation/Modification Workflow
In this workflow the Originator creates the virtual hole and then either requests it or deletes the entry. Once requested, the Originator may cancel the request and delete the entry prior to it being reviewed. If rejected by the Originator If requested and not cancelled or deleted, the Reviewer checks the hole details and, if OK, approves the hole, thereby creating the actual hole. If the Reviewer rejects the hole then the Originator can either modify the virtual hole and re-request the hole or cancel the request and delete the entry.
7.1.2.2 Redundant Hole Workflow
In this workflow the actual hole has been created. The Originator decides that the hole is now redundant and sets its status to Redundant. Before the Originator can delete the entry the Reviewer must agree that the hole is redundant.
www.aveva.com
89
7.1.2.3 Rejected Hole Workflow
In this workflow the actual hole has been created. The Reviewer, possibly due to changed conditions, decides to reject the hole. The Originator has the option to: Modify the hole and re-request it, whereby it will go through the normal review and approval cycle. Cancel the request, in which case the virtual hole details remain Delete the entry, in which case the entire hole is deleted and the virtual hole and association deleted. The actual hole is deleted and the panel restored to its original state.
7.1.3
Non-penetration Managed Holes
In addition to penetration holes, the Hole Management application enables creation of non-penetration holes in structural panels. These holes fall into two general categories: Holes that are required, say, for access to a piece of equipment, a valve or other design item. Holes that are created by a panel fitting, e.g. a hatch, door, window, etc.
For non-penetration managed holes that are not created by a fitting, with the exception of a User Defined hole type, the virtual hole is created as a single FIXING in a new FRMW, as described for penetration holes. This fixing has a Specification Reference (Spref) attribute that points to the hole definition in the catalogue. An Association (ASSOC) element that references all of the hole elements is also created. Approving the hole creates a PFIT owned by the PANE. User Defined hole shapes are created using a template and negative extrusion in a similar way as described below for Fitting holes. For non-penetration holes that are created by a panel fitting, the virtual hole is created as a single FIXING in a new FRMW. The fixing owns a Template (TMPL) element that owns a negative extrusion (NXTR) whose vertices describe the required hole shape. The fitting is created as a FIXING element owned by the PANE whose Spref attribute points into the catalogue to the selected fitting. An Association (ASSOC) element that references all of the hole elements is also created. Approving the hole creates an NXTR owned by the PANE that is a copy of the virtual hole NXTR. Non-penetration managed holes, of either type, may be associated with any other element in Design. The holes have the same request/approval process as penetration holes, however, as they are created solely by the structural discipline the Structural Designer may be both the requester and approver.
www.aveva.com
90
7.1.4
Use of the Hole Management Application
The Hole Management application, as with other applications that use associations, is passive, i.e. the user is not alerted if a hole association is broken or invalidated. The user must enter the Hole Management application and actively verify if the association is still valid. The use of the application will vary from company to company. In some it may be down to the individual Designers to request and approve holes, whilst in others it may be the discipline lead Designer or a designated user who performs the tasks.
7.2
Creating the Fixing Area
The information about the hole size and position is held in a FIXIng which is held in a STRU with the purp of the STRU set to HOLE, on a project this design area would be created by the project administrator. For the purposes of the training the fixing area will need to be created. Select Utilities>Training Setup from the main menu to display the Training Setup form. Select the Upgrade tab, check the Create Association Worlds checkbox and click the Apply button. This adds the Association Worlds (ASSOWL) and Association Group (ASSOGP) elements required for Equipment Associations and Hole Management. In addition the Site SITE-ASSOC/ASSOC is renamed to VM-Virtual-Holes and the required Zone and Stru elements for Hole Management are added.
7.3
Creating single Pipe Penetration
There are three ways that the Pipe penetration can be selected, shown on the pipe branch and subsequent isometric. Pipe Attachment (ATTA) selected from the current piping specification. This first method is very useful as the current piping spec does not need a special penetration attachment. Pipe Attachment (ATTA) selected from. a special Penetration Spec. This method would allow the use of a different attachment representation on the Isometric. Pipe Coupling (COUP) selected from the current piping specification. This method is very useful if penetration material is needed on the piping isometrics. Typical uses of this are penetration sleeves or water tight seals.
In this first example a single penetration where pipe 100-B-8 goes through the floor plate will be created with the piping attachment (ATTA) selected from the current piping spec.

93
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 The Hole Shape selection area of the form contains Class options lists that enables the user to select the class of hole, i.e. Standard Types, Piping penetration piece tables and Pipe Duct. The Type options list changes depending on the Class selected. For this example Standard Types will be used. The Type options list has the following entries.
The default is Circular Hole Type D.
A description of the different types of hole shapes is outside the scope of this training guide.
The Hole shape parameters area of the form displays different parameter textboxes for the different hole types. For a circular hole the only parameter is Diameter. The Diameter value is defaulted to the Outside Diameter of the selected pipe, i.e. 115mm.
If multiple pipes of differing outside diameters are selected, the diameter value defaults to 100. The user must then enter a suitable diameter for all pipes or re-select the pipes individually.
The Penetrating item clearance area of the form contains the Clearance textbox that enables a clearance around the penetrating item to be specified. Note that the Diameter value has increased from 115 to 215 i.e. the pipe OD + 2 x the clearance. The virtual hole clearance fixing is displayed at the specified clearance diameter.
Modify the required hole diameter by entering a number in the Diameter textbox and pressing the Return key. This increases the diameter of the virtual hole such that it is greater than the specified clearance. This would be required for an eccentric hole. The virtual hole fixing is displayed at the specified diameter (the outer of the two fixing extrusions shown).
The Set to Minimum button resets the hole shape parameters to the minimum value(s) required to create a valid hole. In this example clicking the button would set the Diameter back to 115.
The number and description of parameters in the Hole shape parameters area of the form varies depending on the Hole type selected.
www.aveva.com
94
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 The Positioning area of the form enables an offset in the X and Y directions for the penetration hole to be specified by entering appropriate values in the X Offset and Y Offset textboxes. This enables the penetrating item to be eccentric to the penetration hole, which may be required in some circumstances. The Rotation gadget enables the hole shape be rotated to align the hole in a different direction. This is only relevant on non-circular hole shapes. The rotation value may be set by using the up or down arrow or by entering a value in the textbox. The Single or Merged hole penetrations area at the top of the form enables individual single holes or a merged hole to be specified for multiple penetrating items by selecting the appropriate radio button. As there is only one penetrating item in this example the options are disabled. Clicking the OK button on the Hole Management Definition form creates the FRMW and two virtual hole FIXING elements, one for the clearance diameter and one for the penetration hole, in the STRU whose Purpose attribute is set to HOLE; STRU VH-Stru in the SITE HM-Virtual-Holes for this example. The top level fixing is auto-numbered using the format HM-VH-nnnn, where nnnn is a four digit sequential number starting at 0001. The secondary level fixing is auto-numbered using the format HM-VH-nnnn-SUBnn, where HM-VH-nnnn is the name of the top level fixing and nn is a two digit sequential number starting at 01. The association is created in the ASSOGP whose Purpose attribute is set to HOLE and is automatically named using the format HM-ASSOC-nnnn, where nnnn is a four digit sequential number starting at 0001.
A penetration Atta will be created in the pipe branch. This will be displayed as a grating on the piping isometric.
A fixing will have been created in the database ready for creating the hole using the Hole Management Application later.

Managing Holes Requesting a Hole
Now the holes have been defined a request must be made for the holes to be created in the appropriate panel.
Navigate to the owner of both panels STRU /EQUIP_SUPPORT
Select Utilities > Hole Management from the main menu to display the Hole Association Management Form
This form is used to display the Hole Associations in the model and is controlled by the Hole Association Filters.
7.7.1
Using the Hole Association Filters
The Hole Association Filter area of the form enables the user to limit the display of the hole associations in the Hole Associations grid below by using the various radio buttons and options lists. The three radio buttons have the following function: Current Element(s) applies the filters to the current element only. List of elements applies the filters to the elements in the Elements to manage list at the bottom right of the form.
www.aveva.com
100
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 If this option is selected the Elements to manage list and its associated link labels are enabled. The Add Current Element link label adds the current element to the list. The Reset link label clears the list and adds the current element to it. The Refresh link label starts the filtered search for all managed holes that reference any item in the list.
Right clicking an item in the list displays a pop-up menu that enables the selected item to be removed from the list.
All Managed Holes applies the filters to all the managed holes in the project. The four filter option lists have the following function: Discipline enables the user to select only holes belonging to a specific discipline.
Status enables the user to select only holes with a specific approval status.
Claimed enables the user to select holes with a specific Claim status.
Valid enables the user to select only holes that have passed/failed the validation test.
Setting any option other than Not Checked may significantly slow down the list generation. This is because all validation tests will be run for every hole that passed the previous three filter options. The Invalid checkbox, if checked, will include all hole associations that have any bad references or invalid data. The checkbox is enabled if the List of elements or All Managed Holes radio buttons are selected. The Apply filter link label refreshes the Hole Associations list according to the element and filtering

7.9.2
Rejecting after Approval
Select the first penetration hole created (HM-ASSOC-0001) in the grid to make it the current association and click the Manage Selected Holes link label to display the Hole Management form. This hole has previously been approved so the only Reviewer task available is Reject. Click the Reject link label under the Reviewer Tasks and then click the Yes button on the confirmation message. The hole status has now changed to Rejected. Note none of the Originator or Approval Tasks will be active at this point. The Designer must Logout of PDMS and Login again as the Originator.
The Steelwork Designer would not normally be able to Request Piping hole. Hole Requests are the responsibility of the discipline that owns the Pipe.
Exit PDMS and re-enter as user A.PIPER Password A MDB A-PIPING The Originator now has the option to modify the hole definition, as described above, Cancel Request or Delete Entry, which have the following affects: Cancelling the request removes the actual hole and resets the Hole History Status to blank, i.e. it has been reset to its original status after the virtual hole was created but before it was requested. The virtual hole fixings and hole management associations are retained so that the hole may be modified and re-requested later. Deleting the entry deletes the actual hole, the virtual hole fixings and the hole management associations, restoring the panel to its original state before the penetration was created. All references to the virtual hole are deleted.
For this example the request will be cancelled and then the entry deleted.
Click the Cancel Request link label under the Originator Tasks to display the cancel confirmation message. Click the Yes button to cancel the request.
Open the Hole History fold-up panel and note that the hole status is blank, i.e. Note also that the virtual hole fixings are still present.
Click the Delete Entry link label under the Originator Tasks to display the remove confirmation message. Click the Yes button to remove the selected hole.
All references to the hole have been deleted from the Hole Management form and the virtual hole fixings have also been deleted, restoring the panel to its original state before the penetration was created.

7.11
Non-Penetration Managed Holes
Sometimes access is required through structural panels, i.e. walls, cladding, decks, floors, etc., in order to maintain and operate items of plant. As these access holes have no non-structural discipline penetrating item, the holes are normally created by a Structural Designer. To facilitate this process the Hole Management application allows the creation and management of Non- Penetration Managed Holes. Non-penetration managed holes can only be created from the Panels & Plates application and fall into two categories: Free Holes these are standard hole shapes, some of which include sleeves or kicker plates. A User defined shape is also available. Fitting Holes these are managed holes created by a catalogue fitting, e.g. a window, door, hatch, access cover, etc. Note Fitting Holes are covered in TM-1201 AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Structural Modelling (Advanced)
7.11.1 Free Holes

In the Panels & Plates application, selecting Utilities>Steel Penetration>Create Hole from the main menu displays the Create Penetration form. Clicking the Pick Penetrated Item button prompts the user to Pick a face on the penetrated object.
Unlike penetration holes, only one penetrated item may be selected.
The Hole Type list shows the available holes. The first six entries are the same hole types available for penetration holes. The remaining hole types are circular or rectangular with additional components, i.e. kicker plates or sleeves. The last entry is a User Defined which enables a user defined shape for the hole to be specified, see 3.3.2.
After selecting a hole type from the list, clicking the OK button on the form displays the Hole Management Free Hole Definition form. The selected hole shape is displayed graphically, using default sizes, on the penetrated item with aid graphics that indicate the Hole X and Hole Y directions and the default X and Y offsets from the panel origin. The default hole location is the pick position from the penetration item selection. This default position may be subsequently changed on the Hole Management Free Hole Definition form.
www.aveva.com
107
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 The Hole Management Free Hole Definition form has two tabs: Hole Definition to define the shape, size, position and rotation of the hole. Associated elements to define the element(s) the hole is to be associated with, e.g. piece(s) of equipment.
7.11.1.1 Free Hole Definition - Hole Definition Tab

On the Hole Definition tab the hole type may be changed from that specified on the Create Penetration form by simply selecting and different type from the list. The graphical representation of the hole type will change to the new type. The Hole shape parameters area of the form changes depending on the hole type selected with the required parameters shown for the different types. The Hole Position and Orientation area of the form enables the X Offset and Y Offset, i.e. X and Y distances from the panel origin, to be set. The values default to the picked position and reflect the displayed values on the graphical aids. The X Offset and Y Offset values may be changed manually by entering the required value in the appropriate textbox. Alternatively, clicking the Align in X or Align in Y buttons prompts the user to Align Hole to picked position and activates the Positioning Control toolbar. The user may pick any position, using any of the positioning control options to align the hole with in the specified direction. The X Offset or Y Offset values are changed automatically to reflect the picked position. Clicking the Explicit Position button prompts the user to Pick a face on the penetrated object. A hole position may be picked on the panel using the cursor, as with the initial panel selection. The X Offset and Y Offset values are updated accordingly. The Rotation gadget enables the rotation around the Z axis of the panel to be specified either by entering a value in the textbox or using the up or down arrows to change the angle in 5 increments. Selecting the User Defined hole type displays the Loop Vertex Editor form, i.e. the same form used for modifying panels and negative extrusions. A default hole, an NXTR with four vertices, is displayed graphically. The Loop Vertex Editor form is displayed with vertex 1 current and a text aid is displayed at the vertex. The hole shape may be defined by adding, deleting or modifying vertices to the NXTR loop in the same way as editing a panel or normal negative extrusion.
www.aveva.com
108
7.11.1.2 Free Hole Definition - Associated Elements Tab

On the Associated elements tab the elements associated with the hole are shown in the Current association items grid. Initially these include the panel and hole references. Clicking the Pick Items button prompts the user to Pick associated item. Any item(s) may be picked to associate the hole with, however, this would normally be a piece of equipment, a valve, an actuator, etc. The selection process is terminated by pressing the Esc key. The selected item(s) appear in the Current associated items grid. Selecting an associated item from the grid and clicking the Remove selected item button removes it from the grid and all references to it from the association.
The Primary Panel and Hole Reference items are required to create the hole and attempting to remove them displays an error message. Having specified all of the requirements for the hole, clicking the OK button on the Hole Management Free Hole Definition form will create the virtual hole. The hole must be requested and approved using the procedure previously described. The Project Administrator should give consideration to the unique situation that may occur where the team responsible for originating the hole is also responsible for approving the hole. Company or Project specific procedures may be required to ensure the hole creation process is correctly managed.

CHAPTER 9
Sloping / Falling Pipelines
All the previous Pipework examples involved only orthogonal pipelines, that is, all lengths of tube were either horizontal or vertical. In practice, it is a requirement to include lengths of tube, which slope at angles between components. This chapter describes how to position and manipulate sloping Pipework.
9.1
Orientation and Positioning Components in Falling Pipelines
PDMS 90Deg Elbows are capable of having a variable angle they are not fixed at 90deg. Variable angle elbows can be directed to the angle of the slope.
In the example below a tee has been added to the falling line to demonstrate how an offset error would be introduced. This error is corrected in PDMS using variable angle zero radius bends.
Bends are normally made from tube so adding a bend would only affect tube length and as the bend used has no radius the effect is negligible; bends made from tube do not appear on the isometric material list. The following example shows how bends are used to correct falling lines. The diagram shows the tee still falling with the main branch; a bend is used at the start of the new branch to reduce the offset error.
www.aveva.com
115
In this next example the tee is horizontal and two bends are used one at each side to correct the fall.
The user should always check contract procedure to establish how to design sloping pipes. The Auto Slope form allows the user to set the leave direction. This can be set to either up or down for each elbow in a branch. The slope can be specified either as a rate of fall or as an angle.
9.2
Creating Sloping Pipes
Navigate to branch 1 of pipe /100-C-13. In the piping application select Modify > Slope Ensure the fall is set to 1/100 Select OK
www.aveva.com
116
PDMS will now step through each elbow in the branch. The slope must be set for each elbow.
In each case select YES indicating the slope is up.
As the pipe is open ended finishing at the battery limit the following form is displayed.
As the pipe tail is to remain in the same place, select NO. The pipe tail will remain in the same position but the orientation will adjust to suit the sloping pipe. Should Yes be selected the Pipe Tail will be repositioned at the leave of the last component. The pipe will now be sloping and can be checked using Query > General as done earlier. The elbow direction will be of the form N 0.5729 U.
Exercise 10 - Creating Sloping Pipes

Navigate to branch 1 of pipe /100-C-13 and modify the pipe slope as described above.
9.3
Controlling the Pipe Component Slope
Add a tee, a new branch and a bend to correct the slope of pipe /100-C-13. Add a Tee to 500mm from the 3rd elbow. Use the RH Mouse Pull Down to position the tee 500 from the change in direction
The P3 leave direction of the tee will be set to S 89,427 U.
Create a new branch and connect the pipe head to the tee, as in previous exercises the bore of the Pipe Branch Tail should be set 100mm but it can be left at the world origin for connection later.

10 Alternative Positioning Forms

The following are some examples of positioning piping components in space and relative to other components.
10.1
Position>Component>Plane Through
The Plane Through form positions the current element using a specific co-ordinate, as in this example, or by using the cursor, or with respect to any other previously positioned item.
10.2
Positioning Piping Items Relative to Other Design Items
You often need to position a piping component so that it, or its attached tube, is either just touching, or is a fixed distance from, another element in the design (another piping item, a structural beam or column, etc.). Until now we have always identified the position of a piping item by reference to its centreline (more strictly, its origin or P0). For relative positioning, it is often more convenient to use one of the extremities of the item as the reference, such as the topofpipe (ToP) or bottomofpipe (BoP), as we shall see in the following examples.
10.2.1 Position>Component>BoP/ToP (Infront)
BoP/ToP in this context refer to the same point, namely the furthest side of the component. Thus, the form settings Top of Pipe Clearance 50 Infront ID Cursor would achieve the same result. This applies in www.aveva.com both forwards and backwards modes which are explained later.
121
10.2.2 Position>Component>BoP/Top (Behind)
10.3
As in the preceding example, BoP/ToP here refer to the same point. Thus, the form settings Top of Pipe Clearance 50 Behind - D Cursor would achieve the same result.
Position>Component>BoP/Top - Nonorthogonal Pipelines
For nonorthogonal pipelines, the following options are applicable:
10.3.1 Positioning Onto another Item
Position Bottom of Pipe Clearance 50 Onto ID Cursor
10.4
Positioning Under another Item

124
10.6.3 Positioning with Clearance In-front another Item
10.6.4 Positioning with Clearance Behind another Item
10.7
Forwards and Backwards
When using the above examples the designer is required to work with the flow in Forwards Mode or against the Flow in Backwards Mode. This can be changed on the command line using the command FOR or BAC. It can however be selected using the Piping Components Form. Select Create > Components
The Piping Components form should be used in conjunction with the Members form Select Display > Members
www.aveva.com
125
When you use the Forwards and Backwards Radio Buttons the Members window is inverted
Select Forwards
In Forwards Mode the first component in this example is a flange.
Select Backwards
In Backwards mode the first component in this example is a Valve.
Make sure you always close the form in Forwards Mode

CHAPTER 12
12 Pipe Splitting
It is often necessary to split Pipes into more than one Branch or Pipe. Splitting Pipes is used to make the Isometric clearer or perhaps as a process requirement. Pipes can be split on components, on planes or into segments (or spools). Pipe assemblies are used to aid in the splitting of pipes.

CHAPTER 14
14 Pipe Fabrication Machine

Each Pipe Fabrication Machine has a series of Pipe Fabrication Machine dimension elements with attributes of OD and Bend radius. When an attempt is made to get a bend radius from the Pipe Fabrication Machine, all bending dimensions are searched to find an appropriate tube OD The actual bend radius is calculated by multiplying the OD by the BRAD If no matching dimensions are found the radius cannot be calculated and the radius must be set by the user. New pseudo attribute DFBRAD at bend returns a machine derived radius if available.
14.1 Creating an Example Fabrication Machine

Navigate to the world /* Select Utilities > Training Setup
Select the Production Tab Select Add Example Fabrication Machine Select Apply
14.2 Example Fabrication Machine

Select Utilities > Fabrication Machine Manager
In the example shown the OD of a 150NB Tube is set to 168.3 and the Bradius is set to 3.00 this would give a Bend Radius of 504.9.
www.aveva.com
147
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 The OD of the Tube being used must exist in the Pipe Fabrication Machine
14.3 Setting the Pipe Fabrication Machine at Zone Level

Navigate to the Zone /ZONE-PIPING-AREA01 Display the command line Display > Command Line and enter BendMacReference /MACHINES
Bends with their CompType set to VAR created in this zone with get their radius set from the Pipe Fabrication Machine.
Exercise 17 Creating a Fabrication Machine

Using the example described above create a new Fabrication Machine and reference the Piping Zone to the Fabrication Machine World.

CHAPTER 15
15 Pipe Routing using Bends selected via a Pipe Fabrication Machine.

Pipe /150-B-6 is currently routed using elbows. The pipe will be rerouted using Bends and the Radius will be selected automatically from an appropriate Pipe Fabrication Machine. A working knowledge of PDMS Piping assumed.
Navigate to branch /150-B-6/B1 and delete all the members leaving the head and tail connected. Select Delete > Members > All The head should remain connected to /C1101/N5 and the tail connected to /E1302B/N1 Create Slip-on Flanges together with their gaskets at the Pipe Head and the Pipe Tail
www.aveva.com
149
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 After the first Flange create a pair of bends using the Component Creation Form Note that the Bend Information is set automatically to Machine and the bend Radius is set to 504.9
Similarly create a pair of bends at the pipe tail
The Pipe can be completed using Quick Pipe Router or by using the choose form from the old piping applications. In either case the bend radius will be set Automatically
When using Quick Pipe Router, set the Component Choice to Bend.
Exercise 18 Creating a Pipe using Bends selected via a Pipe Fabrication Machine.
Using the above as a guide modify pipe /150-B-6 and re-routed the pipe using Bends.
www.aveva.com
150
CHAPTER 16
16 Production Checks
The Pipe 150-B-6 modified in the previous chapter can now be submitted for production checks. This involved validating the pipe against the Pipe Fabrication Machines for both the ability of the machines to bend and weld the pipe and to check that the pipe does not exceed the stock length. The Pipe will need welds added so that pipe lengths are within the allowable stock lengths. Feed excess should be avoided so the pipe will need rerouting to remove and feed excess created by the bends being too close together and by the minimum requirements of the Pipe Fabrication Machine.
16.1 Setup Production Checks

Navigate to Pipe /150-B-6 Select Utilities > Production Checks
Select Select Default Fabrication Machines
Select the Fabrication World MACHINES
Select Apply
www.aveva.com
151
Select Define Auto-Resolve Preferences
Select Include End Excess and Include Feed Excess
Select Apply
Note the Auto Naming is on by default.
www.aveva.com
152
16.2 Spool Generation

Select Generate Spools As the pipe has no breaks only one spool will be generated which is likely to exceed the spool length and the limits of the Fabrication Machine.
Select Validate Pipe
As predicted the pipe failed as the initial feed is greater than the Pipe Fabrication machine can handle welds or break flanges must be added to reduce the maximum spool length to 6000mm.
www.aveva.com
153
16.3 Creating extra Spools

Split the pipe into 4 spools by using welds selected from the Pipe Components Creation Form, typically Stype WB.
16.4 Re-spooling the Pipe

Navigate to Pipe /150-B-6 Select Utilities > Production Checks Select Remove Fabrication Information
Select Yes
www.aveva.com
154
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 Select Generate Spools
Select Validate Pipe
A warning Message is displayed as the pipe has feed excess which should be removed if possible before fabrication.
16.5 Feed Excess

Spool PS01 is badly designed for a Pipe Fabrication machine because it needs extra material between the bends and on the ends so that the Pipe Fabrication Machine can Grip the tube. There are two types of excess material: End Excess Feed Excess extra material on the ends which needs to be cut off extra material between bends which needs to be cut out and welded back together.
All excess is undesirable - Feed Excess is used only as a last resort. Spool PS01 has feed excess on the arrive and leave of bend 1, both bends should be lifted 300mm and bend 2 moved East 300mm. This can be done using the Model Editor.
The Pipe must now be revalidated
www.aveva.com
155
Spool PS01 is now OK and PS02 is OK because it is a Straight Spool.
Spool PS04 has Feed Excess which should be removed in a similar way to as was described earlier.
Once all the feed excess has been removed the pipe is validated successfully.
16.6 Spooling Log File

When a spool failed validation it was often difficult to find out exactly why. A log file is available to help track down errors. There is a link label under Pipe Tasks called View Log. The view log has tabs for looking at validation and spool generation and output can be printed or sent to file.
www.aveva.com
156
16.7 Pipe Spools

Pipe Spool Information can be obtained by right clicking on the Pipe Spool on the Production Checks Form. Auto Naming is now on by default when spools are created. On previous version of PDMS the user had to remember to switch auto naming on. Pipe spools can now be renamed from the results panel on the production checks form, previously they could only be renamed from the main view
Exercise 19 Production Checks

Using the above as an example check that the Pipe /150-B-6 will validate successfully by adding welds and repositioning the bends to remove feed excess.

CHAPTER 17
17 Flange Enhancements 17.1 Flange Offset
Flange Offset is the distance between P1 and P2, the following shows the Flange Offset on a Slip-on Flange.
In the example Shown P1 would have a PDIST of 0 and P2 a PDIST of the Pipe Wall Thickness + 2 mm (PWALLTH(1) + 2mm)
Taking into account Wall Thickness will give a more accurate MTO. Navigate to and Display pipe /100-C-13.
Place a pair of Slip-On Flanges
Use SType FSOF as these Flanges take into consideration Wall Thickness
Navigate to one of the flanges In the Command Window Check the Pipe Wall Thickness and the distance between P1 and P2 on the SlipOn Flange. Q PWALLTH(1) and Q P1 P2
www.aveva.com
159
In the example shown the Wall Thickness is 3mm and the distance in the North direction between P1 and P2 is 5mm
The Calculation used was Wall Thickness + 2mm
17.2
Loose Flange and Flange Allowance
The following example illustrates the placement of a Loose Flange with extra tube being supplied for the creation of a flared end. The example is based on using Pipe Wall thickness to calculate the extra tube. Flange allowance is used to set ALLOW and LOOS attributes on the Flange Components which need an ALLO have a COMPTYPE set to ALLO The PDATAB contains a loose Flange allowance expression for each bore size. PDTAB Expression Pflallowance ( 10 * ATTRIB PWALLT(1) )
Navigate to and Display pipe /100-C-13.
Place a pair of Loose Flanges
Use SType FSAL as these Flanges are Loose Flanges.
If a Flange has a CompType of ALLO when selected PDMS will automatically set the Flange Attributes Loose and Allowance which can be manually overwritten.
www.aveva.com
160
AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 At the Loose Flange Q LOOSE Loose false Q ALLOWANCE Allowance 31mm
