3.1.OVERVIEW

The Piping Designer (PD#Design) is specifically intended for the creation and revision of $D models in thedesign of the piping and instrumentation within the plant! The resulting piping models can %e used forDesign Review& chec'ing interferences& extracting drawings& and generating ill of aterial! *ou canattach other PD $D models to the piping model as a reference file to ensure continuity! *ou can accesscoordinate points from the reference models and review data%ase attri%utes!

+nce your e,uipment has %een chec'ed and approved %y your -./& you may start your piping modeling!*ou should wor' on the Piping in your area in the order of the following priority0

The Piping odel files will %e limited to maximum of 5 line names per model file or 25 %loc's&whichever comes first! -hen you get close to this limit& they should find a good %rea' point forchanging files! *ou should get the $D coordinator or support to create a new PD piping model whenneeded!

+nce you go from large %ore file to the next you should reference the first large %ore file and change

the reference sym%ology %y ystem! Try not to have any large %ore %ranches coming off of large %orelines in a reference file in one area! Try to 'eep a complete pipeline or piping system in one file forease of revisions

-hen you exit the piping model file& the system automatically chec's the validity of the graphics& and

if there are no corrupt elements& it compresses the design file automatically!

The screen wor'ing area is used to display and manipulate graphic information! This information ismanaged %y icrotation! Eesh graphics are graphics& which are temporarily drawn on the screen! PipingDesigner uses refresh graphics to display placement aids such as the orientation tee and coordinate systemindicator!.raphics are fre,uently highlighted to provide visual feed%ac' pertaining to the active input!Highlighting is normally followed %y an ccept?eGect step allowing you to accept thehighlighted graphicsas the desired input or to reGect the highlighted graphics and select ather graphic!This section descri%es general concepts and terms& which are common to the Piping Designer operations!

;n this lesson& you will learn 0

Piping egment

>oordinate ystem ;ndicator& +rientation Tee& >onnect Point

Piping Segens

The centerline routing within a model is represented %y geographically connected piping segments! piping segment defines the geometry of the pipeline and contains the non9graphical data associated withthat pipeline! single piping segment can define changes of direction& %ut an additional segment is createdat a %ranch point or an attri%ute %rea'& such as a si7e change or a spec %rea'!The following illustrates the terminology associated with a piping segment!

The piping segment shown a%ove in made up of the following0

one line route or pipeline 9 9.& including @

four segments 9 9>& >9E& E9.& E9@

six pipe runs 9 9& 9>& >9D& D9E& E9@& E9.

one %ranch point 9 E three end9point vertices 9 & @& and .

egments are defined %y a change in the active segment data or %y a %ranch!ttri%ute %rea's are defined when any attri%ute changes!

Aci4e P"#ceen P$in

;n this document& the term active placement point refers to the coordinate location used %y the Place>omponent command! ;t defines the point at which piping and instrumentation are placed! *ou can use>onnect to Design to place a piping or instrument component at an existing& intelligent location in themodel& such as a pressuri7ed piping or instrumentation connection (connect point)& a no77le& or a pipingsegment!The system uses the orientation tee to indicate the location of the ctive Placement Point!

lternate orientations of the orientation tee can %e displayed %y pressing I!

C$$r(in#e S5se In(ic#$r6 Orien#i$n Tee6 C$nnec P$in

C$$r(in#e S5se In(ic#$r

The coordinate system indicator is a temporary display sym%ol which represents the six orthogonaldirections (Aorth& outh& East& -est& Bp& and Down) of the coordinate system!

Piping Designer uses the coordinate system indicator to indicate the active coordinate location when0

defining or manipulating a piping segment

identifying a point on a piping segment

identifying a component center or connect point

tracing a pipeline!


17/64

Page 33 of 228

Orien#i$n Tee

The orientation tee is a temporary display sym%ol which orients a component %efore placement! Theorientation tee is composed of two lines0

a primary axis representing the flow centerline

a secondary axis used to orient components which are not symmetrical a%out the flow centerline

(for example& a valve with an operator)!

To assist you in placing piping and components& the primary axis is thic'er than the secondary axis!-hen the Place >omponent command is active& the system displays the orientation tee at the ctivePlacement Point and displays related information in the screen message fields! P JJ9+BTThe stars (JJ) indicate the active axis of rotation (the secondary in the a%ove message)! -hen either axis isrotated such that its orientation is in the plane of the view& the suffix ;A or +BT is displayed next to P(primary) or (secondary) indicating whether that axis is pointing in or out of that view! @or example&when the secondary axis is perpendicular to the screen and oriented toward the designer& the message P 9+BT is displayed!-hen placing a component with the orientation tee& you can adGust the orientation %y pressing I or %yselecting one of the +rientation >ontrol commands! This rotates the active axis through the six possi%leorientations! -hen either the primary or the secondary axis is pointing out of the screen& you can rotate theorientation tee %y typing the angle of rotation& measured countercloc'wise around the piping segment!

Pressing the ;nvert %utton will rotate the active axis 38K from its present orientation! @or example& anactive primary axis pointing Aorth would %e rotated to point outh!


18/64

Page 32 of 228

Pressing the wap %utton will swap the primary and secondary axis orientations! @or example0

Piping C$nnec P$ins

Each component has a center and at least one connect point or pressuri7ed end! The following rules (inorder of priority) are used to determine the assignment of connect point num%ers0

3! >onnect Point 3 is always at the larger end (APD)!2! ;f the ends have the same APD& %ut different end preparations& then >onnect Point 3 is assigned an

end preparation in the following precedence0 olted& ale& @emale!

The figure %elow shows the relationship %etween the component=s connect points& the orientation tee& andthe component=s orientation!

3.3.2. PLACING CO%PONENTS

The %asic component placement procedure involves four generic steps! pecific options are provided at eachstage& depending on the component type and how it is to %e placed in the model!

3! Activate the component p!acement 2orm0 The form can %e activated %y clic'ing the Place >omponent%utton on the Place @orm!

2! Speci26 a p!acement point0 >omponents are always placed with respect to a placement point! ;n mostcases& the default reference point is always the end point of the component previously placed in themodel! *ou can attach a component directly to this placement point& or select one of the followingoptions0

Connect to Design0 Bse to ta'e an existing line attri%ute& to insert a new component into anexisting line& or to insert a component on a segment!

Point on Segment0 Defines the active placement point at a point along a piping segment

Point on Pipe0 Defines and changes the active placement data on piping!

Move 2rom Active Point0 oves the active place point a specified distance along the active

flow centerline

Move 2rom Re2erence Point0 oves the active place point a specified distance from an

identified reference point in a specified direction

Move to Coor,inate A+is0 Determines the active placement point as the intersection of a

specified pipe run with a coordinate axis and a corresponding coordinate value!

7en, to Tee8T6pe 7ranch0 Bse the vertex (not an end point) of a piping segment for the

placement of a full9si7e tee9type %ranch!

Point in Space0 use to set the active place point to a defined precision point! The item placed at the

defined place point will not %e connected to existing piping! *ou should use the >onnect ToDesign option in the Place >omponent command to set the place point when piping componentsare to %e connected to existing piping!

Constr5ct Point0 Defines the place point using multiple inputs!

Constr5ct Point 96 .esse! -D0 Defines the place point using user9specified input and data

related to a user9selected vessel!

Distance an, Direction0 oves the active place point %y distance or direction& and %y angle!

3.,.12. ATTRIB&TE BREA*

This command creates an attri%ute %rea' at a point on an existing piping segment! *ou can identify the

attri%ute %rea' point %y snapping to a specific vertex or %y using a precision input to define a point along asegment pipe run!

-hen you identify the piping segment to %e revised& the system activates the ttri%ute rea' form! *ou canuse this form to revise attri%utes in the same manner used for the evise ttri%ute command!


This command will respect revisions made to the following user data for piping segments!

3.,.13. CONNECT SEG%ENT

This command activates the >onnect egment form which is used to com%ine two piping segments withcoincident endpoints! The system highlights one of the piping segments to indicate that the resulting pipingsegment will inherit its data!

The system displays any differences in the piping segment data including P:;D node num%ers one entity ata time! ;t also reports discrepancies in the piping segment data loaded into the relational data%ase and thefollowing piping segment data in the model0

efore using this command;n order to include piping reference models in the verification& you must do the following items0

et the toggle for each piping reference model to /ocate +n on the eference odel ttachments form!

*ou can specify /ocate +n for all attached piping reference models at one time %y selecting the pplyto Discipline option along with setting the toggle to /ocate +n!

et the toggle to ll odels on the 1erify Data ;ntegrity of odel form!

-hen the reference models are included for %oth the Pipeline and odel option& the system verifies the dataon the pipeline until the end is reached or an overlap situation is detected!

The system places a diagnostic mar'er in the active model file for each inconsistency which is detected!

;t places an + at the location where two piping segments overlap!

;t places a . at the location where a gap is detected or where the lin'age of a piping item does not

match the lin'age of the piping segment which underlies the item!

;t places a / at the location where an invalid data%ase lin'age is detected!

ome pro%lems may %e hidden %y other pro%lems during the verification process! *ou should always re9verify data after you have corrected reported pro%lems!

Sero9length piping segments are reported as invalid elements! This includes any piping segment that isassociated with a tap to which no piping is connected independent of the length of that piping segment!

1erification ensures that pipe supports are logically connected to the associated piping segment centerline!
