AVEVA Marine – Equipment module is a pivotal component within the AVEVA Marine suite, facilitating the detailed design and integration of equipment into ship and offshore structures. It enables designers to create, position, and manage various equipment items, ensuring they meet functional, spatial, and regulatory requirements.
🔧 Core Features of the Equipment Module
1. 3D Equipment Modeling
The module allows for the creation of 3D representations of equipment, such as pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers. These models can be constructed using predefined primitives or imported from external sources, ensuring accuracy and consistency in design.
2. Hierarchical Equipment Structure
Equipment can be organized hierarchically, with primary equipment items containing subcomponents. This structure aids in managing complex assemblies and facilitates easier modifications and updates.
3. Attribute Management
Each equipment item can have a set of attributes, including:
- Function: Defines the operational role of the equipment.
- Weight and Center of Gravity: Critical for stability and structural analysis.
- Design Code: Specifies the standards and regulations the equipment complies with.
- Insulation and Paint Specifications: Indicates thermal and protective coatings. These attributes are essential for engineering calculations and documentation.
4. Positioning and Orientation
Equipment can be positioned using ship coordinates or relative to other elements. The module supports precise orientation, ensuring that equipment fits within the designated spaces and aligns with other systems.Scribd
5. Interoperability with External Models
The Equipment module supports the import of 3D models from external Mechanical CAD systems via the AVEVA Mechanical Equipment Interface. This feature allows for the integration of detailed equipment models from manufacturers, reducing manual modeling efforts and enhancing design accuracy. Imported models can be fully utilized within the AVEVA Marine environment, supporting functions like clash detection and spatial analysis. www.slideshare.net+1Science 2.0+1
6. Clash Detection and Design Validation
Integrated clash detection tools help identify and resolve spatial conflicts between equipment and other systems early in the design process, minimizing costly modifications during later stages.
7. Documentation and Reporting
The module facilitates the generation of detailed documentation, including equipment lists, specifications, and installation drawings, ensuring compliance with industry standards and aiding in the fabrication and installation processes.
🛠 Integration with Other AVEVA Marine Modules
The Equipment module seamlessly integrates with other modules in the AVEVA Marine suite:
- Outfitting Design: Coordinates the placement and integration of equipment within the overall ship design.
- Pipework: Ensures that piping systems are accurately connected to equipment nozzles.
- Structural Design: Aligns equipment placement with structural supports and foundations.
- Marine Drafting: Generates detailed drawings and documentation for equipment installation.AVEVA+5Science 2.0+5SAFETY4SEA+5
