Foundations

AVEVA Everything3D enables the user to design a 3D computer model of a project.

AVEVA E3D allows the user to see a full colour-shaded representation of the model
as the design progresses, adding an extremely impressive level of realism to
traditional drawing office techniques.

In the model the user can store huge amounts of data referring to position, size, part
numbers and geometric relationships for the various parts of the project. The model
becomes a single source of engineering data for all of the sections and disciplines
involved in a design project.

All this information is stored in databases. There are many different output channels
from the databases through which information can be passed on. These range from
reports on data stored in the databases, fully annotated and dimensioned engineering
drawings, to full colour-shaded 3D walk-through capabilities which allow the user to
visualise the complete design module.

Aim

The aim of this training module is to provide the basic knowledge of the common
features that provide the “foundations” for the AVEVA Everything3D Model module.

Objectives

 Familiarise trainees with the basics of the User Interface.

 Explore the data structure of AVEVA E3D.

 Explain how to display and manipulate the 3D model.

 Explain basic techniques for creating and modifying 3D models.

 Familiarise the user with general functionalities.

Prerequisites

 Familiarity with Microsoft Windows.

 Knowledge of engineering design.

Course Structure

Training will consist of oral and visual presentations, demonstrations and set
exercises. Each workstation will have a training project, populated with model
objects. This will be used by the trainees to practice their methods, and complete
the set exercises.

Model Utilities

The AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) Foundations training module introduced

designers to the basic concepts of AVEVA E3D. This training module introducers
further utilities that assist productivity and produce data from the model to show the
power of data centric design.

Aim

The aim of this training module is to introduce Model Utilities that complement and
build open those covered in the AVEVA Everything3D Foundations training module.

Objectives
 To introduce the concept of clash detention and how it may be used

interactively by designers.

 To enable a user to create quick reports and produce templates.

 To explain the basic principles of surface treatment and its application to

model elements.

Prerequisites

It is expected that trainees will have completed the TM-1801 AVEVA Everything3D
Foundations training course. Trainees who can demonstrate a suitable
understanding of other AVEVA E3D applications and techniques may also be
permitted to undertake the training.

Course Structure

Training will consist of oral and visual presentations, demonstrations, and set
exercises. Each workstation will have a training project, populated with model
objects. This will be used by the trainees to practice their methods, and complete
the set exercises.

Cableway & Cable Modelling

The AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) Cabling System application supports the
creation of cableway, cables, and cableway material. This course has been designed
for people who are involved in the detail design and layout of electrical systems. It
will provide the necessary skills for the user to be able to create cableways, cables,
cableway material, and cable tray penetrations.

Aim

Over the duration of the course the participants will learn to use the AVEVA E3D
Cabling System application, and become familiar with cableway, cable and cableway
material creation and modification.

Objectives

 To have a clear understanding of the AVEVA E3D Cabling System application.

 To be able to create Cableways and Cableway branches.

 To be able to modify the Cableway route using route points and the model

editor.

 To be able to create electrical connections for equipment items.

 To be able to create and route cable using various methods of routing.

 To be able to use the Cableway data checker utility.

 To be able to apply Cableway material to the Cableway branch.

 To be able to create and manage cable tray penetrations.

Prerequisites

It is expected that trainees will have completed the TM-1801 AVEVA Everything 3D
Foundations training course. Trainees who can demonstrate a suitable
understanding of other AVEVA E3D applications and techniques may also be
permitted to undertake the training.

Course Structure

Cable Tray Modelling

Cable tray routing is an important activity on any large project. It uses the same
principles and concepts as pipe routing.

Aim
The aim of the course is to provide the skills required to use the Cable Tray Design
application in the most productive way.

Objectives

At the end of this session, the user will be able to:

 Understand the basic concepts of cable trays and branches.

 Understand the use of cable tray specifications.

 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 cable tray components.

 Apply an obstruction level to the cable tray.

 Use the various positioning options to place cable trays.

 Run data consistency checks.

 Produce a simple isometric from standard option files.

 Generate reports.

Prerequisites

It is expected that trainees will have completed the TM-1801 AVEVA Everything3D
Foundations training course. Trainees who can demonstrate a suitable
understanding of other AVEVA E3D applications and techniques may also be
permitted to undertake the training.

Course Structure

Training will consist of oral and visual presentations, demonstrations and set
exercises. Each workstation will have a training project, populated with model
objects. This will be used by the trainees to practice their methods, and complete
the set exercises.

Electrical & Instrumentation Equipment Modelling

This course has been designed for users who need to model complex equipment
items, for electrical and instrumentation systems, and any associated supports. It
will provide the necessary skills for users to create advanced equipment items
including templates.

Aim

Participants will learn to use AVEVA Everything3D (AVEVA E3D) to model complex
items of equipment for Electrical and Instrumentation purposes. It will focus on
advanced modelling techniques, using Representation Levels and Obstruction Levels
to enhance the design.

Objectives

At the end of this course the Trainee will be able to:

 Create complex equipment items.

 Understand the role and use of representation and obstruction levels.

 Create templates for equipment items.

Prerequisites

It is expected that trainees will have completed the TM-1801 AVEVA Everything3D
Foundations training course. Trainees who can demonstrate a suitable
understanding of other AVEVA E3D applications and modelling techniques may also
be permitted to undertake the training.

Course Structure

Training will consist of oral and visual presentations, demonstrations and set
exercises. Each workstation will have a training project, populated with model
