AVEVA Marine – HVAC is a 3D modeling tool used to design, layout, and manage HVAC systems in marine and offshore environments. It forms part of the integrated AVEVA Marine solution, which supports the end-to-end process of ship design and construction.
🧰 Key Features & Capabilities of Aveva Marine HVAC
- 3D Duct Routing
- Create accurate and detailed HVAC ductwork in 3D space.
- Supports different duct shapes: rectangular, circular, and oval.
- Specification-Driven Design
- Uses pre-defined standards and specifications for duct sizes, materials, and fittings.
- Ensures design compliance with classification society standards (like ABS, DNV, etc.).
- Smart Fittings and Components
- Includes elbows, tees, reducers, dampers, silencers, grills, diffusers, and more.
- Automatically selects compatible components based on routing needs.
- Automatic Collision Detection
- Identifies clashes with structural, piping, cable trays, or equipment layouts in real-time.
- Helps optimize space usage in tight compartments.
- Ventilation System Layouts
- Design full airflow systems from air handling units to outlets.
- Supports both supply and exhaust ventilation paths.
- Integration with Other Disciplines
- Works alongside AVEVA Hull, Outfitting, Electrical, and Pipework.
- Seamless data flow improves cross-discipline collaboration.
- Detailed Documentation and Outputs
- Generates fabrication-ready drawings, BOMs, and installation reports.
- Provides accurate material take-offs and routing lengths.
🚢 Benefits in Marine & Offshore Projects
- Efficient use of limited space
- Reduced design and rework time
- Improved installation accuracy
- Optimized ventilation performance
- Support for full lifecycle management—from design to construction and maintenance
🧩 Typical Workflow Involves:
- Importing compartment or zone layouts.
- Placing HVAC units and defining airflows.
- Routing ducts between equipment and spaces.
- Validating design with clash detection and ventilation rules.
- Extracting reports and fabrication documentation.
If you’re designing anything from cruise ships and naval vessels to offshore oil platforms, AVEVA Marine HVAC gives you the tools to build smart, efficient, and compliant ventilation systems.
