CHAPTER 2
AVEVA Marine has been designed by HVAC Engineers for HVAC Engineers. The HVAC application offers
the following key benefits.
The HVAC Designer application lets the user build up and detail complex ducting networks simply
by selecting components from standard catalogues. By using standard default settings, a conceptual
layout can be created and analysed rapidly, leaving the design details to a later post-approval stage.
The application provides facilities for creating rectangular, circular and oval cross-sectional items.
Individual design components can be selected from over 100 parametric catalogue items covering
all likely requirements, including a range of auxiliary items such as stiffening frames, access panels,
splitter plates etc., all of which will be accurately detailed in the design model. The catalogue also
includes a range of inline plant items such as centrifugal and axial fans, air handling units, silencers,
dampers etc. each ready for insertion into the design model in a single operation.
User-definable detailing specifications, such as those for construction materials, ductwork gauge,
flange dimensions etc., define precise manufacturing requirements. User-definable default settings
ensure compliance with company standards and a high level of design consistency throughout the
project.
Accurate geometric representation of all design items ensure reliable clash checking during the
design process, leading to good space management and the early elimination of positional errors,
which can be expensive to rectify at the construction stage. This is particularly important where
different features of the design model are under the control of different designers.
Explicitly positioned design components are interconnected automatically with implied ductwork as
the design of the ductwork sequence is built up. An auto filling facility is provided which can then
calculate the optimum use of standard ducting straights to complete the material take-off for the
entire network.
Several design aids are incorporated, including a facility for creating horizontal grids which can be
used to position ceiling tiles. This can greatly aid the layout of building services in an architectural
environment. Also for systems, in a marine environment, a facility exists for splitting the system
design into logical sections to assist design and manufacture.
HVAC elements may be named in accordance with a predefined set of rules, so that their positions
in the database hierarchy are always obvious without the user having to enter specific texts during
the design process.
The applications user interface can be tailored readily to suit the level of experience of any individual
user. In particular, graphical illustrations of all catalogue items can be displayed if required to
simplify component selection and dimensioning.
At any stage, the user can create reports listing specified data from the current database. A
standard report template can be specified, allowing the user to derive lists of commonly required
information very quickly; alternatively the user can design a one-off report format to suit specific
needs. The resultant output, which can include data from any design discipline, sorted in any way
required, can be either displayed on screen or sent to a file for storage and / or printing.

To start the AVEVA Marine application, select All Programs > AVEVA Marine>
Design > Marine 12.1 > Outfitting
The AVEVA Marine - Outfitting Login form appears, enter the following data:
Project Training
Username HVAC
Password HVAC
MDB HVACFWD,
Setting the project to Training on the AVEVA Marine Outfitting Login form will result in the use of the
Marine Training Project; this will be referred to as MTP for the remainder of this guide.
A default screen layout will be displayed comprising the application pull-down menu and a Design Explorer
showing all the objects from the current project database. The user can reposition and, in some cases,
resize the Outfitting windows.
Once the Outfitting module has been started, the user must check that the HVAC
application is running. This can be seen on the top of the design framework. If it
does not show HVAC, select Design > HVAC Designer from the application
pull-down menu to change to the correct application.
Although this guide is about the design of HVAC ducting networks, in practice ductwork is usually routed
with reference to predefined design items such as a framework, Decks and Bulkheads etc.
All Outfitting data is stored in the form of a hierarchy. An Outfitting Design database has:
a top level, World (this can be represented by the symbolic name /*)
a two principal administrative sublevels, Site and Zone.
The names used to identify database levels below Zone depend on the specific engineering discipline for
which the data is used. For HVAC design data the lower administrative levels (and their Outfitting
abbreviations) are:
HVAC (HVAC)
BRANCH (BRAN)
SPOOLS (HSLIST)

Each HVAC element can represent any portion of the overall ducting network.
Each Branch within an HVAC element represents a single sequence of components running between two,
and only two, points:
Branch Head
Branch Tail
The data which defines the physical design of the individual HVAC components is held below Branch level.
The overall format is as follows:

CHAPTER 3
Each HVAC component is represented in the AVEVA Marine catalogue by the following types of data:
Physical shape
Parameters
The physical shape of a component is defined by a set of geometric primitives, so that a component can be
manipulated and linked to adjacent HVAC items. All principle points needed to define the component
position orientation and connectivity are identified by uniquely numbered tags. These tags, which have both
position and direction, are called P-points:
Each P-point is identified by a number of the format P0, P1, P2 etc.
P0 always represents the components origin position.
The principle inlet and outlet points are also identified as P-Arrive (PA) and P-Leave (PL). P1 is the same as
P-Arrive, and P2 is the same as P-Leave.
The setting of all variables needed to distinguish a component from others with the same geometry and P-
point sets are defined by parameters. The values of these are defined to suit the specific design
requirements.
For example, a rectangular three way component (or branch connector) might be represented in the AVEVA
Marine catalogue as follows:
P2
(P-Leave or PL)
P0 (Origin)
P3
(Branch Connection)
P1
(P-Arrive or PA)
The two curved duct sections from the component geometry set
The four P-points from its point set
P-point, P3, enables the user to control the direction of the branch connection arm when it is
incorporated into the design
The dimensions of the component and other constructional details are represented in the catalogue by
parameters whose values are set to suit the design requirements.

AVEVA Marine (12.1)
HVAC Modelling TM-2223
The following defaults will need to be set for the users to complete the exercises.
A default detailing specification
The format of the HVAC form
Customised HVAC forms
The constructional detail of components that the user selects from the
HVAC catalogue, such as joint types and maximum straight lengths, are
determined by the current default specification, which is shown on the
HVAC Designer toolbar.
The TUTORIAL specification is set as default, however for the examples and exercises in this guide the
HVAC will be created using the MACHINERY_SPACE_VENTILATION specification. This gives access to a
range of catalogue components that are suitable for use with this module. Note that when starting a new
session, the specification will need to be set each time.
All the principle functions for creating, positioning, orientating and connecting HVAC elements are available
from within a single form, the HVAC form. The HVAC form has two display formats:
The brief form, the default, uses drop-down lists to show the elements available for selection.
The full form uses scrollable lists to show the elements available for selection, and also offers more
complex positioning options
The appearance and behaviour of the forms for creating and modifying HVAC components can be
customised. This enables modification of the forms to suit individual preferences or for the type of design
work being undertaken.
Right click the mouse on the form and select Style Options
Show Local Views Displays a small 3D graphical view showing the current component in its design
context.
Local Views Shade Shows local views in colour shaded as opposed to a wire frame representation
OK / Cancel Forms Uses OK and Cancel buttons instead of Apply and Dismiss on the forms. This will
result in the corresponding forms closing when OK or Cancel is selected as
opposed to remaining available for repeated use until dismissed explicitly.
Show Pixmaps Displays a sketch showing components geometries to help the user select items
from the catalogue.
Show Forms Displays the Create / Modify form automatically when a new component is added to
the design. This allows the user to adjust the default dimensions and / or orientation
as required.

The next step is to create the administrative elements which govern the position of individual HVAC
components within the database hierarchy. The first elements are:
From the Design Explorer, select ZONE 210-HVAC to make it the current
element.
On the Create HVAC form, in the HVAC Name text box, key the name TRAIN_210_MCS_001 and press
the Return key on the keyboard. The Primary System pull-down menu lists the systems available in the
System Group World (SYGPWL) for HVAC. Set the Primary System to Machinery Space Ventilation
Supply. Click the Apply button to create the element or Dismiss to remove the Create HVAC form

The Primary System set for the HVAC element on creation can be changed or removed using Utilities
.See section 6.5 of this guide.
These differ only in the way they are added to the design:
A main branch requires the user to position and orientate its head explicitly.
A side branch takes its head position and orientation from a branch connection point P3 on an
existing three way component.
The HVAC Main Branch Element form is displayed, in the form set the following:
Set the Head Start to ID Nozzle (The 3D position can also be picked using ID Design PPoint; this would
enable the user to indicate the position of the Branch Head by selecting the Ppoint on the nozzle.)
Close the HVAC Main Branch Element form by clicking the Dismiss button.
It is also possible to start the HVAC branch head by other methods e.g. Cursor, ID Design Ppoint, X,Y,Z etc

The next stage is to build the HVAC design starting from the branch head. The individual components are
added sequentially, positioning and orientating each component in turn.
The first component to be added to the current arrangement is a rectangular to circular transformation. This
is to be positioned at the nozzle of equipment MCS2001.
From the HVAC form, select Transformations from the Categories list.
The HVAC Shape Transformation Items form appears, Select Square to Round and the Square to
Round Transformation form appears. This form has data fields for all parameters needed to define the
component. The initial data setting on the component definition forms are determined by a set of default
values. Fill in the form as below.
The Picture button on the Square to Round Transformation form allows the user to interpret the
parameters easier. This displays the HVAC component form containing a dimensioned and annotated
drawing showing how the component is
defined in the catalogue.

AVEVA Marine has a powerful facility that can calculate the length and the amount of offset needed to fit a
new component automatically into the available space. This facility can be used to create a Mitred offset
component to fit between the Square to Round transformation and the Bend created previously.
Using the design explorer, make the Square to Round transformation (TRNS1) the current element.
Clicking the Fit button on the Rectangular Cranked Offset form will add the calculated data into the data
fields, then Click the Apply button.
The mitred offset will be added to the vent duct between the
transformation and the bend allowing for the original misalignment
between the fittings. The offset component (OFST1) has been created
between the two misaligned components in the Design Explorer.

A gap may be required between the three-way component and the preceding component (damper). The
Distance function on the HVAC form enables this to be done by allowing the user to specify the gap
between the PL of one component and the PA of the next, thereby avoiding the need to calculate the
movement required to reposition it.
Save work.
The gap may be checked by navigating back to the Damper VCD1 and selecting Query > Gap to next from
the main menu bar.

From the Design Explorer it can be seen that there are two new elements:
BEND2 - This represents the Square Bend
SPLR1 - This represents the set of air deflectors within the bend. This is created because a square
bend requires turning vanes.
The message that appeared during the creation of the component was created was a warning to the user
that this component is comprised of more than one AVEVA Marine element.
Navigating to the square bend simply by picking it with the cursor, will almost certainly select the element
representing the outer ducting. The air deflectors that also form part of the component are below the bend in
the hierarchy. Consequently in order to create the subsequent component the user must select the element
that represents the air deflectors.

This part of the training will involve the modelling of design data using the Machinery Control Room in the
ship machinery space. This will require the use of circular duct components as opposed to the rectangular
sections mainly used so far. Circular components are easier to use than rectangular components because
the user is not required to consider the duct width and depth, instead only a single parameter of duct
diameter needs to be allowed for.

the Machinery Control Room. However before modelling can begin the user must set out a working grid and
position the ceiling tiles within it, so that they can be used as a reference to position the HVAC grills later.
With reference to the existing design model, the next stage of the HVAC ducting network to be designed will
feed two diffusers above the small compartment in the starboard side of the compartment. To aid the
positioning of these diffusers, the user will set out a horizontal grid which in turn determines the ceiling tile

CHAPTER 4
In this chapter some facilities for enhancing the basic HVAC design model are examined. The main features
described are:
This will be demonstrated using the duct work that was created in the previous worked examples, HVAC
TRAIN_210_MCS_001.
During the creation of the main branch, components were specified with specific functions, such as bends,
side connection points, silencers and dampers. Most of the gaps between these components were left
undefined and were filled by implied ducting to complete the representation shown in the 3D view. To enable
the design to be prefabricated, it is necessary to specify the fixed lengths of ductwork (ductwork straights)
required between these components. This will also enable a full material take-off to be generated. The
HVAC application is able to calculate the optimum combination of standard and non-standard straights
needed to fill each gap and then create the corresponding components in the design database
automatically.
To confirm the presence of gaps in the branch, select Utilities > Auto fill with
Straights > Show Gaps
All corresponding lengths of implied ducting are highlighted simultaneously in the graphical view.
The CE button on the form allows multiple branches to be checked.

A list of identified gaps is displayed and the specified straight lengths are created automatically to replace
the implied ducting. The design explorer shows the new elements.
To ensure the Autofill operation was completed satisfactorily the user can repeat
the Show Gaps process. The message No Gaps To Show
AVEVA Marines provides a utility for calculating the optimum number and positions of stiffening flanges
needed to support ductwork items. The configuration of the flanges is tailored to suit the component
geometry in each case. The user can then create and position such flanges automatically. In the branch
membership hierarchy, they are treated as sub-components of the straight.
Navigate to the straight shown below (STRT2) and make it the current element, select Rectangular and

The item numbering facility automatically allocates sequential item numbers to all HVAC components and
gives each item a name of the format:
</PREFIX>< number> where /PREFIX is a user definable string and number is the
sequential number.
Sub-components, air deflectors, stiffening flanges, etc. are numbered as decimalised subsets of their owning
components. Inline equipment items, silencers, fire dampers, etc. which are usually named, remain
unchanged.
To auto number all HVAC items in the current design model, navigate
to the owning HVAC element, BRAN TRAIN_210_MCS_001/B1. Care
should be taken if the selected owning element is the system element
as opposed to the branch element because the branch order below
may not be in sequence. This is important if the itemisation is to be
consistent with the branch numbering, i.e., B1, B2, B3 etc.
Select Utilities > Automatic Itemising, the HVAC Itemising form appears, key in the Naming Prefix
HTEST/ITEM, leave the start number set to 1, and click Apply
The HVAC command Output window is displayed, listing all HVAC items and
their allocated numbers.
Comparing the entries in this itemising list with those in the Design Explorer, it
can be seen that each item (with the exception of any inline equipment
components) has been named in the design explorer using the specified prefix
/HTEST/ITEM suffixed by the item number. i.e., the straights in the main branch,
and their stiffening flange subcomponents, appear as follows:

The final design details can now be completed for the ductwork. This will involve:
Modifying joint types to suit the final design
Inserting an access panel into the side of a duct.
When the length of implied ducting leading to the control damper (VCD1) was replaced with straight
components, the connecting joints will have been assumed to remain as default flanged joints. In fact, the
control damper requires raw edge joints (the VCD joints were changed earlier in this guide), so that the
ducting simply fits over the damper inlet and outlet.
The inlet joint for the damper is the leave joint for the straight that precedes it. To modify this joint navigate
to the preceding straight element.

A Seal plate is a part that seals the HVAC as it passes through a panel, bulkhead, deck etc.
There are various types, sometimes they are simply plates just larger than the hole/penetration, and are
welded/attached to the panel and HVAC duct. Other types might be specifically designed HVAC penetration
elements that are part of the bulkhead/deck panel and then the HVAC system is routed up to it.
AVEVA Marine provides the user with the capability to create a simple plate type seal plate.
To do this the user must have already created the HVAC penetration as previously detailed. Navigate to the
fixing in the Design Explorer an make it the current element.
Select the Utilities > HVAC Penetration > Seal Plates, this will open the Seal Plates form and create a
new STRU in the ZONE VH_Coaming_Zone.
The Seal Plates form allows the user to key-in the Plate Overlap, Plate Thickness and to specify the Panel
Side. The Plate Overlap allows for the dimensions of the original hole that has already been created. In the
example shown the original hole was modified to be 900x750, consequently the corresponding seal plate
with a Plate Overlap of 50mm will be 950x800 as shown. The Panel Side is in relation to the direction of the
ducting.
Once the values have been entered click the Update button.
This will make the Remove button active which allows the
seal plate to be removed. Click Remove then Close the
form.

Sometimes access may be required through Hull or Structural panels in order to allow access to HVAC
equipment. To facilitate this process the Hole Management application allows the creation and management
of Non- Penetration Managed Holes, or Free Holes.
As these access holes have no penetrating item, the holes may be created by a Structural or Hull designers.
However, in reality the structural designer may not be aware of the requirement for an access hole, therefore
this option is also available to other Outfitting disciplines, including HVAC Modelling. The requested hole will
then be controlled by the Hole Management application, with a Structural Designer responsible for approving
the requested hole.
Free Holes are standard hole shapes, some of which include sleeves or kicker plates. A User Defined shape
is also available. This option is also available in other Outfitting modules.
Clicking the Pick Item for Hole button prompts the user to .
The last entry is User Defined which enables a user defined shape for the hole to be specified, see section
4.2.4.2.1.
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.
The Hole Management Free Hole Definition form has three tabs:
Hole Definition to define the shape, size, position and rotation of the hole.
Coaming (The Coaming tab is to be removed in a future product release so is therefore not
described in this training guide)
Associated elements to define the element(s) the hole is to be associated with, e.g. piece(s)
of equipment.

This section details a method of outputting design data derived from design model by generating a tabulated
report showing the material required to build the design.
The reporting utility reads selected information from the Dabacon database and presents the output in a
tabulated format. Each report can be customised by specifying some or all of the following:
Where the output is to appear (on screen or in a file ready for printing)
The page layout, including number and positions of columns, column headings, etc.
Any headers and footers which are to appear at the top and bottom of each page
www.aveva.com
The selection criteria which define which data settings are to be included in the report
Once such a report has been designed, its specification can be saved for further use in the form of a report
template file. The results of the process will be seen by using a pre-prepared template which outputs a
material take-off list showing the length of tube needed to build the design.
A company standard report template will probably be used for most reports to maintain consistency
Leave the Filename text box empty (this sends the report automatically to the screen) and in the Hierarchy
text box, key-in /TRAIN_210_MCS_001/B1 (this lists the components for the whole HVAC branch), then
click OK to run the report.
The tabulated report output is displayed in an AVEVA Marine Outfitting Command Output window which is
opened automatically, (unless the Command Window is visible in which the report will be displayed there).
The report lists all principle components in the specified network in branch head to branch tail order. The
type and key dimensions for each component are tabulated as predefined by the template.

CHAPTER 6
6 HVAC Splitting
6.1 Overview
HVAC systems are created as a series of branches and components throughout the route. Once the HVAC
route is well defined and stable, the HVAC Splitting utility can be used to split the HVAC system. These
splits may occur at logical breaks based on topographical features or at specific points along the HVAC
route.
The suggested workflow for HVAC is to define the whole route using the principle elements only (i.e. bends,
dampers reducers etc). Leaving the spaces between these fittings as implied duct. The splitting can then be
applied while the implied duct is still present:
