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 Perform Check Isometrics. Create and use Piping Design Assemblies. Understand pipe splitting on components or by using Assemblies.
1.3
Prerequisites
The participants must have completed the PDMS Introduction and Basics course.

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 like valves and reducers. 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 form the basis of all the PDMS Pipework you will encounter.
Alternatively the branch could leave the tee through the offline leg as shown.

2.1
To start the PDMS application, Select All Programs > AVEVA > PDMS 12.0 > Run PDMS
Your Trainer will provide a shortcut User Name and Password to PDMS but typically it will be as follows:
On the AVEVA PDMS Login box, enter Project Username Password MDB Module and then click SAM USERA A TRAINA Design OK
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. You can reposition and, in some cases, resize Designs windows. If you select a named file from the load form selector then the screen will be returned to the layout at the time of saving.
Once the Design application has been started, check that you are running in the Pipework application, this can be seen on the top of the design framework, if it does not say Pipework Application, then select Design > Pipework, this will then change to the correct application.
2.2
Piping Specifications
In the same way that design offices have standard piping specifications, PDMS has a set of specifications from which you can choose. In fact all the components you will use in PDMS must be defined in the Catalogue and be placed in a Specification before you can use them. 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 you will require for the course exercises.
www.aveva.com
12
2.3
The first task when building a pipe is to decide which specification you are going to use. For the Training Project, the first letter in the pipe name represents the specification to be used. For example, the pipe /150B-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). When you enter the Piping Application the Default Specification Form is displayed. The default Insulation and Tracing Specifications can also be set using this form but are only active when ticked.
2.4
Pipework Toolbar
The Pipework Toolbar is used to Manipulate Pipes, Branches and Branch Components. The default Piping Specification can be reset using this Icon.

2.5
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. Insulation and Tracing Specs, and also the Temperature and Pressure of the pipe.
Before creating the pipe we must first 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 you only ever need 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.
www.aveva.com
14
2.7
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.
Note the Branch head is at the face of Nozzle 1 and the Branch Tail is at the face of Nozzle 2.
2.7.1
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
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. You do not need to specify each of these attributes every time you create a branch. On most occasions when you set a head or tail, you will be connecting to another pipe or to a nozzle. The act of connecting to another item sets all the attributes at once. A Pipe is just an administration element it is the pipe Branch that holds the geometry. When you select 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
15
2.8
After clicking the Change button on the Head Detail pane above, the following form appears: When setting the Branch Head or Tail explicitly you need to specify each of the previously described Branch attributes. 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 Position: Position in world co-ordinates
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.
www.aveva.com
16
2.9
Use the Change button on the Head 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.
2.10
When you first define a head and tail for a branch, your branch will consist of one 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 you require. Just as on a drawing board, you need 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 its design needs. However, unlike on the drawing board, you do not need to know any fitting dimensions; PDMS derives these automatically from the catalogue. To create components, you need to select an item from the list of fittings available to you from the associated piping specification. Typical fitting types are Elbows, Tees, Reducers, Flanges, Gaskets and Valves etc. There is some intelligence build 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, you will need to carry out the following steps: Select the component from the piping specification, position the component and set the orientation. www.aveva.com 17

Errors which may result if an unsuccessful Reconnection operation is attempted will automatically appear on the Errors panel if selected, re-establishes connectivity if the Pipe Head (or Tail) becomes disconnected as a result of Component reselection if selected, ignores elements which have their RLOCK attribute set to 0. (RLOCK is the attribute for the branch members creation status code used by Router.) Selecting this option does not stop the model editor moving the Component, but by default the Component with RLOCK= 0 will not be moved when it is reconnected to the Component being changed

2.14
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-1/B1
As you can see by default there is no TUBE shown in the explorer window,
2.15
The example below shows the Explorer Window with the Tube Shown.
www.aveva.com
21
When using PDMS the list order will become second nature to you after you have created a number of branches, but for the time being you should be aware of it and should consider carefully where your next item is going to be inserted by watching the Component pointer and Design Explorer. When you are creating a component at the pipe branch head or pipe branch tail you must ensure that you are positioned at the Branch.
www.aveva.com
22
2.16
Piping components have Ppoints (similar to those for equipment primitives). The significance of Ppoints is twofold. First, they define the connection points, and second, they determine the branch flow through the component by means of Arrive and Leave attributes. For the reducer shown below, you will see that the large end is at P1 and the small end is at P2. If you use this component 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 flow direction you want, you set two numeric attributes, Arrive and Leave, to the ppoint numbers you want. 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.

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.
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
24
Distance Feedback
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.

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.

CHAPTER 5
This Chapter shows you how to check the logical consistency of your design data, enabling you to find and correct the most common types of design error. You will normally carry out data consistency checks before you run the clash detection facilities. It is more convenient to do a data check on individual pipes than to do the whole Plant in one go. There may be too many errors to sort out at once.
5.1
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
Checks that no length of tube is less than a prescribed minimum (which may depend on its bore).
Component A Component B
www.aveva.com
65
5.2
To carry out data consistency checking from within the Piping application, select Utilities>Data Consistency. You will see the following form:
By using this form, you can generate a diagnostic report on the data consistency of any part of your design. You may list the report on your screen (in the area in the lower half of the form), or you may send it to a file from which you can print a hard copy version. 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
The data checking utility allows a margin of acceptable error before it diagnoses that you may have a problem. These builtin tolerances have default values, but you may set your own values if you prefer. Select the Piping Button
The above example shows the default settings for Angle, Offset, Ratio and Max. Angle.
www.aveva.com
66
5.2.2
As an example, by default your report will warn you of all lengths of tube in your design which are shorter than 100mm. This allows you to decide whether each such length is adequate for welding procedures, bolt withdrawal, access, and so on. You can change the acceptable minimum length from 100mm, and may set different minima for up to ten different pipe bore ranges if you wish. 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 you can change any of the current tolerances before carrying out the data checks.
5.3
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, you will see the message: *** NO DATA INCONSISTENCIES ***
5.3.1
You will find a full list of the data consistency diagnostic messages, each identified by a reference number, 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, we will consider the design feature shown below, namely a Pipe to Pipe connection, and will look at some of the messages which might result.

5.4.3
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.

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.

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. 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.
7.1
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.

7.1.1
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
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
78
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.
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
79
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
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 an SFIT 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.

7.1.4
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
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.

7.3
There are three ways that the Pipe penetration can be selected, shown on the pipe branch and subsequent isometric. Pipe Attachment (ATTA) selected from a special Penetration Spec. This first method is very useful as the current piping spec does not need a special penetration attachment. Pipe Attachment (ATTA) selected from the current piping specification. This method would allow the use of a different attachment representation on 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 /BOT-PANEL will be created with the piping attachment (ATTA) selected from the current piping spec.

Select Both Holes Add to 3D view using the R.H. Mouse Button to display the
Select the First Hole and Select Navigate to using the R.H. Mouse Button Select Manage Selected Holes.

7.9
There may be many reasons why a hole can not be approved or required for example the position may not be suitable or the Pipe may have moved. The Hole Management Approval Manager allows cross discipline Approval, Rejection or redundancy of Holes. Remember this is normally a cross discipline operation. Should it be considered that the Hole position is not suitable the hole request can be rejected.
In the example shown below the second hole has been rejected and the status of the Hole is set to Rejected.
If a hole is not required because for example the pipe has been rerouted then the Hole can be set as redundant. It can not simply be deleted because the plate may have already been cut so there is a mechanism in Hole management for Holes to be Redundant and for that to be agreed. In the following Example Hole two is Redundant.

CHAPTER 9
All the previous pipework examples involved only orthogonal pipelines, that is, all lengths of tube were either horizontal or vertical. In practice, you often need to include lengths of tube, which slope at angles between components. This chapter describes how to position and manipulate sloping pipework..
9.1
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 we use 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
95
In this next example the tee is horizontal and two bends are used one at each side to correct the fall.
You 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
Navigate to branch 1 of pipe /100-C-13. In the piping application select Modify > Slope Leave the fall to 1/100 Select OK
www.aveva.com
96
PDMS will now step through each elbow in the branch. You are required to select the slope for each elbow.
As the pipe is open ended finishing at the battery limit the following form is displayed.
As we wish the pipe end to remain in the same place we will 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 this can be checked using Query > General as we have done earlier. You should find the elbow direction to be of the form N 0.5729 U.
9.3
We are now going to add a tee, a new branch and a bend to correct the slope of pipe /100-C-13 that we have just made slope. Add a Tee to 500mm from the 3rd elbow. Use the RH Mouse Pull Down so you can set it 500 from the change in direction
As you will remember from previous discussion the P3 leave direction of the tee will not be directly up. New Branch 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.

CHAPTER 10
10.1
Position>Component>Plane Through
The Plane Through form lets you position 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
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.
Note: 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 www.aveva.com applies in both forwards and backwards modes which are explained later. 101
Note: 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.

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.
12.1
