14 PlantWise User Interface PlantWise User Interface The PlantWise user interface consists of five independent processes: The PlantWise core (PlantWise Command Interpreter) The PlantWise user interface server program (dppuis); this does not put an item on the user s Start bar The primary PlantWise user interface program GUIB (dppgint on the Start bar) The secondary user interface program PWVB which shows dialogs that have been re designed in Visual Basic MicroStation Users primarily interact with PlantWise via dialogs and CAD. There are two interface programs that control PlantWise, the Command Interpreter and the Design++ User Interface Server. These programs cannot be individually exited and only close when the user has specifically requested to exit PlantWise. The Command Interpreter runs in the background and is automatically minimized. Users do not need to enter the Command Interpreter except for troubleshooting purposes Although a server program, the dppuis (for Design++ User Interface Server) cannot be accessed by the PlantWise user. However, the dppuis must be running for PlantWise to function, and it provides some basic prompts to the user. Users can determine if the dppuis is operational by using the Windows Task Manager.

Defining Basic Components 28 Sep-11

29 Introductory Knowledge Answers 1 Where can we define equipment in PlantWise? Equipment is defined in the model through the Equipment List dialog. 2 How can we quickly find/identify a specific component in the model? As an example, let s say you want to identify a piece of equipment in the model and you know its tag. Go to the Equipment List dialog, select the Equipment tag and go to Display> Highlight. The equipment will be highlighted in the model as its color will change to Magenta. 3 Once a nozzle is defined, can a user modify its diameter? Yes. The nozzle diameter can be changed using the Nozzle List dialog. Sep Defining Basic Components

30 Defining Equipment Defining Equipment Equipment is defined in the model through the Equipment List and edited through the Equipment Editor. As you become more familiar with PlantWise, you will notice that there is more than one way to access an interface. For example, you can reach the List dialogs (Equipment List, Nozzle List, etc.) through the MicroStation interface, the PlantWise main dialog, or from other List interfaces. Equipment is interactively added to a model via the Equipment List, opened with the Process> Equipment command from the Plant menu in the main CAD window or the Equipment command from the Process menu in the PlantWise window. This dialog allows the user to enter new or delete existing equipment The Equipment List dialog appears with the entry fields Tag, Equipment Type, Description, and UnitID empty Tag Equipment Type Description The Tag or equipment label is a unique identifier for a piece of equipment. The Tag cannot contain spaces You can select the equipment type from the pull down menu or type in the text field The optional description field allows the user to enter a specific description of the equipment. For instance, the Equipment Type could be defined as a Shell and Tube Exchanger for two different pieces of equipment and their respective descriptions could be Product A Shell and Tube Exchanger and Product B Shell and Tube Exchange UnitID This optional field allows users to classify units of a model Defining Basic Components 30 Sep-11

The Nozzle List dialog appears. Note: The Nozzle List dialog provides an interface for the user to define nozzles for each piece of equipment. The window operates in a similar manner as the Equipment List dialog, in that there are text fields for data entry, a table listing data, and a Sep Defining Basic Components

34 Define Nozzles Command button field. Also note that the Nozzle List will display the attached pipeline once the connectivity has been defined. Equipment Label Diameter Type The equipment text field allows the user to easily move from one piece of equipment to another. Since we had selected the pump in the previous window, the dialog opened to the nozzle list for the pump The label is a unique identifier for a nozzle on a piece of equipment. You can have more than one nozzle named IN in a model, as long as they are on different pieces of equipment By using the menu arrow, the diameter can be selected from a list or typed into the text field. If the diameter you are looking for does not exist, you are allowed to define a new diameter by editing one of the tables. Editing tables will be covered in a future exercise Also known as allowable_nozzle_types, this is an area for the user to define nozzles like inlets, outlets, manways, etc. The nozzle placement rules are based on the type, so it is important to enter a value in this filed. Defining additional allowable_nozzle_types will be covered in more detail later 3 Enter the following values in the Nozzle List dialog for Pump1. Main Units Imperial Metric Equipment Pump1 Pump1 Label IN IN Diameter 4 10 Type SUCTION SUCTION 4 Click Accept to create the Nozzle. 5 For Pump1 create following Nozzles in the Nozzle List dialog. Sr. No Equipment Label Diameter Type 1 Pump1 OUT Imperial = 4.0 Metric = Pump1 PWR Imperial = 4.0 Metric = DISCHARGE DRIVER INLET Note: Standard nozzle arrangements can be saved for each equipment class. For example, a pump is always going to have an Inlet and Discharge, so the Pump class can be modified to always have Inlet and Discharge so that when a pump is created, the nozzles are created automatically. Defining Basic Components 34 Sep-11

35 Define Nozzles 6 The Nozzle List for Pump1 is shown below. Now save the model. 7 In the Nozzle List dialog, change Equipment to Tank1 and create following nozzles: Sr. No Equipment Label Diameter Type 1 Tank1 A Imperial = 4.0 Metric = Tank1 B Imperial = 4.0 Metric = Tank1 C Imperial = 4.0 Metric = Tank1 D Imperial = 4.0 Metric = OUTLET INLET OUTLET OUTLET The Nozzle List for Tank1 is shown below: 8 Save the Model. The Equipment and Nozzle definition is complete. Now we will continue with defining Process Lines. Sep Defining Basic Components

36 Define Pipelines Define Pipelines Pipelines are defined in the Pipeline List dialog. A new pipeline is entered by first keying in a new pipeline identifier into the Tag field and then entering its required and optional specifications in the remaining entry fields. Some of the entries may be selected from a drop down menu activated with the down arrow to the right of the entry field. The Pipeline List dialog is set up like the Equipment List dialog. In addition to the text, table, and command button region, there is information available on the Origin and Terminus of the pipeline. Once connectivity has been defined for that pipeline, a nozzle, pipeline, or boundary will be displayed. Tag Dia UnitID PipeClass Tag or LinedID: The Tag or Line ID is a unique identifier for a pipe. The Tag can contain no spaces Diameter: The nominal diameter for the pipeline can be typed in or chosen from the menu arrow. If the diameter you want is not listed, the data tables can be edited to include that diameter The Unit ID is used for informational purposes only. The Unit ID is intended to allow the user to identify process units. This field can be left blank The pipe class specifies both material and pressure classes of the pipeline. By using the menu arrow or typing into the field you can select the appropriate pipe class. Again, if the pipe class you want is not available, you may create that pipe class by adding it to the data tables Defining Basic Components 36 Sep-11

37 Define Pipelines Commod Insul Thick Commodity Code: The commodity code, displayed as COMMOD in the Pipeline List dialog, guides the Router in determining: what pipeway level to use; the direction of entry to tees; and, when applicable, which non pocketing rule (suction or gravity) to use. The commodity can not be left blank. If the commodity you wish to use is not available, the user can edit the table titled dpar commodityproperties Insulation Code: The insulation code displayed in the INSUL column will aid in routing pipes by calculating the additional thickness to the pipe diameter. The AutoRouter does consider insulation thickness for determining allowable spacing between pipes as well as the bottom of pipe offset Thickness: The insulation thickness displayed as THICK in the Pipeline List allows the user to enter a numeric value. You must have an insulation code in order to have an insulation thickness. The program will assign a thickness value based on insulation code, operating temperature, and nominal diameter. The operating temperature is a value defined in the commodity codes data table. The user can over ride the thickness value as needed If the insulation thickness field is left blank, a default value will be assigned. The default value can be edited in Project Setup dialog Temp Comments Temperature: The operating temperature for a pipeline is defined in the TEMP column. This value will be automatically filled in based on the commodity code for the line. The user can over ride this value as needed Comments and descriptions are optional in PlantWise and will be skipped for this tutorial Exercise: Create Pipeline 1 From the PlantWise main interface select Process> Pipeline List to open the Pipeline List dialog. 2 When the Pipeline List dialog opens, in the Tag field enter P1. 3 Select 4.0 (Imperial) or (Metric) from the Dia drop down. 4 In the UnitID enter From the PipeClass drop down select A2A. 6 From the Commod drop down select PL. 7 Click Accept to create the Pipeline. 8 Repeat the previous steps and create Pipeline P2 with Dia as 4.0 (Imperial) or (Metric), UnitID as 20, PipeClass as A2A, and Commod as PL.

47 Define Connectivity any pipeline section. Every other section should say None. If this is not the case, you will be able to verify the problem, go back, and fix it. 6 Save the model Note: This method of defining connectivity is good when working from a P&ID. If the equipment is already placed, users can use the Point and Click method for establishing the connectivity. Note: In the Point and Click method, the user selects the Connect Pipe option from the Router toolbox. Select the Nozzles between which a pipeline needs to be routed, and pick the Pipeline to Auto Route it. Sep Placing Basic Components

48 Equipment Geometry and Location Equipment Geometry and Location There are two ways to define geometry and location. The first is by using the Equipment Editor dialog and the second is through MicroStation. Equipment Editor The Equipment Editor is where users can define and change any geometric aspect of a piece of equipment: location, size, or orientation Note: If the Equipment Editor is opened from a menu, it will open completely empty and the user will need to select a piece of equipment from the drop down list. Note: If the Equipment Editor is opened using the Edit button on the Plant tool box, it will open with the selected equipment s data filled in. Finally, if the editor is opened via the Place Equipment button on the Plant tool box, it will open with the inferred data from the CAD graphic. Placing Basic Components 48 Sep-11

49 Equipment Geometry and Location Identification Location and Orientation The Tag identifies the selected equipment. The Type and Description for equipment are both read from the process model. Any defined piece of equipment If the dialog was opened through a menu for an un placed piece of equipment, only the elevation (defaults to site grade) and the orientation (defaults to north) fields will be filled in. If the dialog was opened with the Place Equipment button on the Plant Tool Box, PlantWise determines the plan view location (x and y coordinates) directly from the rectangle or circle selected in the CAD drawing. While default orientations are either north, south, east, or west, users can enter any angle (clockwise from north) for the piece of equipment. Attributes The parametric equipment model uses a limited set of attributes as the basis for all elemental dimensions. These attributes are equipment specific and are specified in the Equipment Class Editor when the parametric model is defined in the Equipment Library Exercise: Place Pump using Equipment Editor 1 Launch the Equipment Editor by going to Plant> Equipment on the main PlantWise V8i interface Note: You can also select Edit from the Plant tool box and pick Pump1 from the MicroStation model. 2 When the Equipment Editor opens, select Pump1 from the Tag drop down.

61 Introductory Knowledge Answers 1 Which Named Inline Types are available in PlantWise? There are three Named Inline Types: Flow Meters, Pressure Safety Valves, and Control Valves. 2 What is an Obstacle? Obstacles act as named rectangular no pipe zones in a model that are not represented with equipment or steel. 3 Can we copy an equipment in the MicroStation Model? Once a piece of equipment has been placed and sized in the model, it can be copied. Sep Define Additional Components

62 Pipeways Pipeways The Pipeway Builder quickly models pipeway networks with a limited amount of user entry. Models can contain multiple pipeway networks that need not be connected. Generally pipeway networks start with a main pipeway. Secondary pipeways extend orthogonally from the main pipeway or from other secondary pipeways. The initial location of a secondary pipeway can be easily defined in terms of its primary pipeway. Once located, any pipeway (Main or Secondary) can be relocated from the Pipeway Builder or dynamically through CAD. The Pipeway Builder dialog is broken into three parts: Menus Pipeway attributes Section attributes Define Additional Components 62 Sep-11

63 Pipeways The Pipeway Builder dialog has three Pipeway Attributes: Pipeway Name Pipeway Type Pipeway origin It is where the user names the new pipeway. If editing an existing pipeway, the user can select the desired pipeway from the Pipeways drop down list It is where the user defines if the pipeway is a Main, Secondary, or Structure pipeway It is where the user defines X, Y, and Z coordinates as well as the Orientation of the pipeway Section Attributes: Pipeway geometry is defined as a section attribute; any change in pipeway geometry along the orientation of the pipeway is made with a new section. Section Number: It is where the user defines the section number of the current pipeway section. If editing an existing section, the user can select the desired section from the Sections drop down list. Note: Section numbers must be sequential starting with 1. Alignment: Section alignment can be selected from the Alignment drop down list. Alignment options are Left, Right, and Center. The Accessway As Obstacle check box is where the user can reserve the space under a pipeway section for access; if the check box is not selected, the router will interpret that volume as free space available for routes. Default behavior for the Accessway as Obstacle check box is set in the project setup. Structural Members Section: This is where the user defines what type of steel or concrete shape will be used for the Column, Beam, and Lateral representations in the model. Exercise: Building a Pipeway There are two ways to build a pipeway in PlantWise. First, by using two dimensional graphics in CAD and second, directly in the user interface 1 Open the Pipeway Builder dialog and select PlantWise> Plant> Pipeway. 2 In the Pipeway Name field, enter Main. 3 From the Pipeway Type select the Main Pipeway radio button.

68 Define Inline Components Define Inline Components Inline components are defined from the Named Inline List dialog. The Named Inline List dialog allows the user to define control valves, flow elements, and pressure safety valves components. Note: Reducers/Expanders, tees, and user defined inlines are defined in the Connectivity Editor. Tag Inline Type The tag for an inline component, like the tag for a piece of equipment, must be unique Flow meters: Placement of flow meters, also called flow elements, does take segment length into account to try to allow for laminar flow Pressure safety valves: PSVs are somewhat different from other named inlines because they have characteristics of both inline components and equipment. PSVs are defined in the Named Inline List dialog but, once defined, nozzles are automatically associated with the PSV. Inlet and outlet lines are then connected to the valve in the same way as to equipment nozzles Control valves: As a placeable inline component, control valves can be placed automatically by the router, or manually by the user. In this exercise, the router will determine control valve placement Pipeline Size This field designates what pipeline the inline component should be placed on Only for control valves, the size on the inline component corresponds to the nominal diameter Define Additional Components 68 Sep-11

70 Define Boundaries Define Boundaries Boundaries are pipe ends that do not end at equipment nozzles or other pipelines. Typical boundaries are off page connectors (OPC) and end of pipeway (EOP) for utility headers. Boundary components are defined using Boundary List dialog. The fields for the tag are defined below: Tag Boundary Type Pipeway Location The name of unique identifier for the Boundary There are four types of boundaries: End_of_pipeway (EOP), End_at_bent (EAB), Outlet, Floating_end (automatically created by PlantWise) if this boundary is on a Pipeway, select the Pipeway tag End of Pipeway boundaries are always located at the beginning or end of a pipeway. For the location of the boundaries, you are given options of North (N), South (S), East (E), West (W), start, and end. If you have a pipeway which runs West East and want to define an OPC, you can choose one of the following options: East, West, start or end. North and South are not appropriate for an East West pipeway Placement Automatic placement of Boundary is the default option Define Additional Components 70 Sep-11

106 Pipeways Pipeways In PlantWise, pipeways are collections of beams, columns, and optionally, laterals. Pipeways can also be modeled with only beams to represent sleeperways. Pipeway elements form obstacles to routing pipes but they also serve as an attraction space for pipelines that need to travel long distances. Pipeways are a zone of specialized routing with parallel berthing levels and perpendicular approach levels. Pipeways may consist of multiple sections. Each section extends along the axis of the pipeway. A new section is required whenever any of the properties of the pipeway change. Such a change may be a larger bent spacing to bridge a road, a higher Lowest Level Elevation to pass over a high piece of equipment, or a change in width to accommodate more pipe. In PlantWise, each section has a first bent and a last bent. This means that the last bent of a section overlaps the first bent of the next section. In some cases this is required, such as when there is a significant width difference between the sections. The Pipeway Builder will in all cases build both the first and the last bent, but the PlantBuilder Steel MTO will remove the appropriate redundant structural members in its accounting for required steel.

Note: This rectangle will represent an access road on the east side of the existing model. Exercise: Add sections to the existing Pipeway In PlantWise a pipeway is composed of one or more Sections. A pipeway section contains all of the geometrical information needed to draw that section. A pipeway would need multiple sections if there is a change in geometry along the pipeway. For example, if the pipeway needs to change its width or bent spacing, a new section is required to make that change. Let us assume the pipeway in the current model needs to continue to the east and that it needs to have a branch to the north and south. We will also assume the Sep Pipeways

121 Steel Structures Steel Structures Structures are composed of beams and columns and optionally bracing, stairs, and floors. While the router will treat the structure s members as obstacles, structures can be modeled to allow pipes to route to equipment located inside the structure. Or, structures can simply serve as a collection of steel members for cost estimates. Structures can be rotated to any angle, although only structures rotated to an orthogonal angle can be used with the special structure Pipeways and thus used for routing purposes. The bay spacing of a structure can have a fixed width for every bay or you can specify each bay space individually. The outside bays can be cantilevered. Exercise: Create Steel Structure having a base section 1 In the PlantWise main dialog for Training_Project, select Model> New from the pull down menu.

122 Steel Structures Create Steel Structure Structures are composed of one or more sections. The sections in a structure must be unique within a structure and it must not contain spaces. Even if a structure is made up of only one section, the structure and the section are individually named. This practice allows users to vary geometry within the structure while maintaining the sense of a building. The sense of building can be valuable for edits made through CAD and reporting Exercise: Create Base Steel section 1 Open Structure Builder by going to PlantWise> Structure> Structure. The preview area in the upper right hand corner of the dialog will display a plan view of the configuration as it is entered. The green X indicates the location, the red line represents the right side of the structure and the blue line represents the back of the structure.

141 Introductory Knowledge Answers 1 What is the function of the Segment/Point Manipulator? The Segment/Point Manipulator lets the user manually relocate piping or cable segments or vertices. 2 Is it required to re route Pipelines/Cables after manipulation of the Pipeway Pipelines? Yes, when pipeway pipes are manipulated, the pipeline/cable will need to be re routed. Sep Model Manipulation

142 Segment/Point Manipulator Segment/Point Manipulator The Segment/Point Manipulator allows the user to manually relocate piping or cable segments or vertices. When the user moves a segment, the manipulator changes the connecting segments of the pipe/cable to keep the segments connected and creates additional bends and segments if required. When pipeway pipes are manipulated, the pipeline/cable will need to be re routed. With the pipeline/cable manipulator, users can place pipeline or cable segments anywhere. Note: Regardless of what is being manipulated, pipeline or cable, segments or points, much of the dialog stays the same. Pipelines and cables can be partially frozen, meaning that the user can choose to freeze just specified segments of a path and leave the remainder of the route in the control of the AutoRouter. When lines/cables are partially frozen, the frozen segments will remain where they were frozen regardless of layout changes. Model Manipulation 142 Sep-11

159 Reports Report Writer The Report Writer is used to extract data from a PlantWise model. This data can be formatted to be viewed by a user or imported into other programs such as estimating or material management systems. Examples of information a user can report on include: Material take off Cost estimates Equipment names and locations Nozzle names and connected pipelines etc. Any information contained in a PlantWise model can be extracted with a report. Although there are several standard reports provided with PlantWise, users are encouraged to edit and create their own reports to meet their particular needs. User can see reports on the Screen or export them to a file. Reports can be run on the complete model or MicroStation Fence can be used to do selective reporting only on the fenced area of the model. Exercise: Generate On Screen Equipment Report 1 From the PlantWise main dialog, open Point_Manipulator model. 2 Go to PlantWise> Reports> Report Writer to open the Report Writer dialog. Sep Reports
