INTRODUCTION
Sohar Industrial Area (SIA) is located 230 km North West of Muscat next to the existing
refinery. The site is of Green Field type with Brownfield Modifications and Tie-ins.
Sohar Refinery was commissioned in the year 2006. Besides production of fuels for
the domestic market, the refinery is also committed to supply naphtha and propylene
feedstock to Aromatics Oman LLC (AOL) and Oman Polypropylene (OPP)
respectively.
Operational constraints (reduced throughput) primarily in existing RFCC unit due to
feedstock (Oman Export Blend (OEB) crude) were becoming heavier and the
contaminants level in the crude were going up.
Sohar Refinery Improvement Project is intended to overcome the above mentioned
operational constraints and enhance the production capacity through upgrade to
existing refinery and addition of new units.
Sohar Refinery Improvement Project is carried out in Joint Venture along with Daelim
(JV 50:50).
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to help maintain a consistent approach of 3D
modeling using SP3D as a part of Sohar Refinery Improvement Project for Oman Oil
Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC).
SCOPE
This document covers the 3D modeling standard methods to be used. This procedure

9 WORKSPACE
After opening SP3D, modeler must ensure that proper permission group is selected.
Before proceeding with modeling, the required hierarchy must be defined inside the
workspace.
Add the required surface style rule in the workspace. It may consume more time
to load the workspace if the surface styles are added to the workspace with many
objects.
When defining the workspace, modeler must add systems to the workspace in
stages by modifying the workspace filter. Defining the workspace with all the
systems at once will take a long time or sometimes the SP3D session may result
in the software to hang/crash.
Define a workspace with only the objects that are actually required. Defining a
huge workspace throws a run time error due to lack of memory & the session
gets crashed.
In workspace, while clicking an object, if there is a message saying The object

cannot be found in the database. It may have been deleted by another user. A
refresh workspace is recommended. Cancel the message select the object &
go to its properties configuration tab check the modified by user id. Confirm
with the user about the deletion or modification of the object. Ask the user to do
undo action in his session.
Modeler must ensure that the objects are modeled in proper hierarchy,
Out of hierarchy objects will not be visible for other modelers
SPR files generated are filter based, hence out of hierarchy objects will not be
seen in SPR.
9.1 MODELING UNITS

HOLD
9.2 SESSION FILES
After the workspace is defined the session file must be saved which clears the
memory cache.
Save the session file often.
Refresh Workspace shall be used after opening saved session file.
Sometimes graphical issues happen inside the workspace such as Equipments
getting changed in size or the flanges appearing as tees etc. Modeler must open
a new session file in such instances.
Use a separate session file containing few objects in workspace for isometric &
drawing extraction, as a huge session file will consume lot of memory and
drawing generation will fail.
9.3 TEMPORARY FOLDER (TEMP)
9.4
Modeler must clear the temp folder which is mapped on user machine often. Most
of the issues related to memory, isometric extraction and graphical problems are
resolved by clearing the temp folder.
Make sure that the 3D Error log is not configured under Temp directory or else
SP3D Error logs will get deleted.
SURFACE STYLE RULES
Surface style rules are prepared for color coding in SmartPlant 3D and the same
are updated in SmartPlant review files. The below are the list of surface style
rules added for each discipline.

10 PIPING MODEL
10.1
PIPING INTRODUCTION
The Piping task is used to model distributed pipelines in the model using a point-bypoint design method. Using the Piping task, create a fully rendered three- dimensional
model of the various pipelines in the model. Use this task to insert piping components,
instruments, and splits during design and then spool the pipe.

Start Piping task by clicking Tasks > Piping.
10.2
10.3
PIPELINE SYSTEM AND PIPE RUN CREATION INSTRUCTION

Pipeline System: A pipeline system is a way of organizing pipe runs within the
system hierarchy and controlling the specifications that can be used within that
system. If a pipeline system exists in a model, route pipe runs and arrange them
as children in the system hierarchy.
Pipe Run: A pipe run is a connected series of the pipe features that normally
have the same nominal piping diameter (NPD) and flow direction. All the pipe
runs in a model are governed by the same piping specifications. All the pipe
features belong to a pipe run. One or more pipe runs together form a pipeline.
STEPS FOR CREATING NEW PIPELINE
To create a new pipeline, right click on the Piping System created and select New
System and then select New Pipeline option as shown below:
Once New pipeline option is selected then a window as shown below will pop up.
Fill the desired entries like Name, Description, Fluid Requirement, Fluid type and
then click OK to create a new pipeline.

STEPS FOR CREATING NEW PIPE RUN
To place new pipe run, select the Route pipe icon from the tool bar.
1.
From the drop down menu, select New Pipe Run.
2.
New pipe run property window will open once we have selected New Pipe Run.
Please select the correct Pipeline name from the dropdown. Select the proper
Specification and Nominal Diameter. If the piperun to be modelled is sloped then
fill up the appropriate Slope value.
3.
If the pipe run have insulation, go to Insulation and Tracing in Category

dropdown.
4.
Select the proper Insulation purpose from the dropdown, Insulation Material and
Insulation thickness as like below snapshots.
5.
Press OK and select the required location using pin point to create the new run.
10.5
COMPONENT PLACEMENT
To place piping components, select the Insert component icon from the tool bar.
6.
Now select either a straight feature i.e pipe or end feature or nozzle or a
component part. After selection, it will open the component type window. Select
the component which is required for placement.
7.
After selection, component will be placed in the GUI with the use of Enter
Insertion Point. Place the component in desired location and click Finish.
8.
Select a feature located at the end of an existing run, the software continues the
run of the selected feature.
Select an equipment nozzle, a point in space, a tap, a branch port, or a point
along a straight feature, the software prompts to create a new pipe run.
9.
10.6
INSTRUMENT AND SPECIALTY ITEM PLACEMENT
Placement of Instruments:
1. Select a straight feature or along feature of an existing pipe run where Instrument
is to be placed. Select the Insert component icon from the tool bar.
2.
The Type drop-down list on the Insert Component ribbon opens up. Select the
Specify Component Tag option in the list.
3. The Specify Component Tag dialog box appears. Select the Browse instruments
option in the Component tag drop-down list in case tag number of Instruments are
not available and click OK as shown below. If tag number of Instruments are
available then input Tag Number in Component tag dialog box and click OK
4. The Select Instrument dialog box appears. The Select Instrument dialog box
displays a list of the available custom instruments that you can place in the pipe
run. Select the instrument that is to be placed and click OK.
Placement of Piping Speciality:

1. Select a straight feature or along feature of an existing pipe run where Piping
Speciality is to be placed. Select the Insert component icon from the tool bar.
2. The Type drop-down list on the Insert Component ribbon opens up. Select the
Specify Component Tag option in the list.
3. The Specify Component Tag dialog box appears. Select the Browse piping custom
specialities option in the Component tag drop-down list in case tag number of
Piping Speciality is not available and click OK as shown below. If tag number are
available then input Tag Number in Component tag dialog box and click OK

a beam.
11.1
SUPPORT PLACEMENT METHODS
11.1.1 Place Support by Structure

By this method the user can place a support at the intersection of a selected feature
and a selected structure. The software automatically determines the intersection point.
Use this command to support a feature that is not parallel to the supporting structure.
11.1.2 Place Support by Point

By this method, the user can place a support for a selected feature and a selected
structure at a prescribed location. Use this command when the selected feature and
the selected structure are parallel or when placing a support on a surface such as a
floor. This method shall be used to place a single support at a specified location or
place multiple supports at a given distance.
11.1.3 Place Support by Reference

By this method, the user can place a support by selecting a reference point in the
graphic view and an object to be supported. Sometimes it is necessary to place
supports before the structure has been modeled. For example, place a support, when
the structure is being modeled in another package and reference to it is not available
in SmartPlant3D.
Notes:
Before going for modeling of the Hangers & Supports, the user should refer the
standard catalogs to understand the following arrangements between the supported
components (How many supporting members to be supported) supporting components
(which type of structure)
Whether the supported member/s is/are placed below or above the supporting
member/s,
Whether the supported member/s is/are parallel or perpendicular to the flange or
web of the supporting member/s,
Whether the supporting and supported member/s are parallel or perpendicular to
each other and / or not crossing each others centerline.

14 ELECTRICAL INTRODUCTION
The Electrical task uses point-by-point route design to insert cableway such as
cable tray, Duct bank and Cable trench into a 3-D model. After routing the cable
trench, cable tray, Duct bank and Conduit components cables shall be placed.
Apply electrical surface style rules.
Cableways which include Trench/Tray/Duct bank/Conduit represent a path for the
cables. The cableway has no physical counterpart; it simply reserves space.
Also electrical task for models that include routing of electrical Conduits and
cables.
Select the Tasks > Electrical command.
123. In the Active Permission Group drop-down list, select the Electrical option.
14.1
CABLEWAY ROUTING
Route Cableway command creates models, and extends cable way which include
cable tray, Cable trench and duct bank quickly and precisely. Cableway reserves
space in the model and do not contain physical parts. Cable tray and duct bank, on the
other hand, do contain physical parts.
Steps to create cableway (Cable trench, Cable tray and Duct bank)

14.2
CONDUIT ROUTING
Route conduit command creates models and extends conduit runs quickly and
precisely. Conduit protects cable in the model. Conduit run features and
components are driven by constraints, specifications and catalog data.
The software allows defining the geometry and properties of a conduit run. Create
conduit, modify the conduit that was created, or extend existing conduit. Add
features and components that are driven by specifications and catalogue.
Route conduit to and from equipment nozzles. These nozzles are similar to the
plain end type of nozzles. Route conduit from the ends of cable tray. The
expected route behavior is similar to a branch. If the cableway length changes,
the position of the conduit branch along the cableway does not change. If an
inline cable tray part exists, the conduit branch restricts its movement along the
tray.
Conduit location will most commonly end with the bottom or outside edge of
conduit resting on the top surface of the tray. However position the branch
(conduit) along the cableway depth. The connection is like any cableway branch
and can be modified as necessary.

15 HVAC MODEL
15.1
HVAC INTRODUCTION
The HVAC task provides a workspace for distributed duct system design. The task
creates a three-dimensional representation, or model, of a distributed system, to
create a fully rendered 3-D model of the various duct systems.
The HVAC task uses point-by-point routing and inserts HVAC components and splits
during design. Modify HVAC features as design needs arise.
15.2
FLOW CALCULATOR
The Flow Calculator provides a tool to complete partial calculations to choose the
cross section or to estimate the flow rate. This tool is not an HVAC analysis program.
Although the software runs its main calculations of an HVAC system at the diagram
stage, work with the flow rates during the routing stage.
The values are not connected to the run values. The Flow Calculator estimates for
parts - not for the duct run.
To estimate sizes, the process must account for the frictional and dynamic resistance
to air flow. Fluid flow is used to correlate pressure changes with flow rates and the
nature of the duct. For a given duct, the pressure drop for a given flow rate is needed.
The inputs that record on the Flow Calculator dialog box include duct flow rate,
maximum allowed velocity, and pressure loss. Enter flow rate and velocity, the output
is diameter (circular) and pressure loss per length. Enter flow rate and pressure loss
per length, the output is diameter (circular) and velocity. Enter flow rate and diameter
(circular), the output is velocity and pressure loss per length. Also, the software
estimates the equivalent rectangular cross section based on the input aspect ratio.
15.2.1 Assumptions
The software processes the calculations based on air flowing in the duct at
standard atmospheric conditions (temperature at 70 F, and air pressure at 14.7
psi).
The Flow Calculator estimates diameter, pressure loss, flow rate, and velocity
only in uniform straight features. The software does not estimate on the basis of
fittings, size changes, direction changes, or obstructions. For additional
information on pressure loss in fittings, refer to a handbook with industry
standards.
The Flow Calculator is based on the equal friction method of duct design. The
equal friction method is commonly used in the industry in systems with low to
moderate velocities, based on a friction drop per 100 feet of duct. For this reason,
the duct length estimates in the software are based on 100 feet length (or 1 meter
in metric calculations).
Friction factor requires a duct roughness based on duct material. The Flow
Calculator uses a medium-smooth material with a roughness factor of 0.0003 feet
(like galvanized steel). Perform suggested estimations for galvanized steel and
apply correction factors to the results for other material types.
The software performs estimates without the presence of a fan.
All estimates are based on straight sections with no loss coefficients available for
fittings.
The software uses imperial units. Before calculating results, the software converts
values to the proper imperial units using conversion factors.
The width ratio (or aspect ratio) refers to the ratio of depth to width for a
rectangular cross section.
15.3
DUCT ROUTING
This command creates a new duct run, extends an existing run, or routes to or from
nozzles or end features. Routing from an end feature continues that run. Create
branches from duct runs also.
Steps to create conduit routing command

1
Click Route Duct on the vertical toolbar.
133. Select the starting point for the new duct run in the graphic view. If the point that
defines as the starting point is not an end feature of an existing duct, then the
software automatically displays the New Duct Run dialog box to record
properties.
134. On the New Duct Run dialog box, select a duct specification and assign the
appropriate properties for the duct run to be established.

INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT
17.15
CLASH MATRIX
Before starting the interference/ clash checking, interference/ clash checking matrix
shall be fixed for all the disciplines. Interference/ clash checking matrix shall be fixed
as defined below:
17.15.1
Matrix for Equipment Systems
Equipment system shall check interferences against Piping, Equipment, Structural,

Cable tray/ trench work systems for Electrical, Instrumentation and Telecom, HVAC,
and Generic area systems.
17.15.2
Matrix for Piping Systems
Piping system shall check interferences against Piping, Equipment, Structural, Cable
tray/ trench work system for Electrical, Instrumentation and Telecom, HVAC, and
Generic area systems.
17.15.3
Matrix for Cable Tray / Trench Works
Cable tray/ trench work system for Electrical, Instrumentation and Telecom shall check
interferences against themselves and against Piping, Equipment, Structural, HVAC,
17.15.4
Matrix for HVAC
HVAC system shall check interferences against HVAC, Piping, and Equipment,
Structural, Cable tray / trench work system for Electrical, Instrumentation & Telecom
17.15.5
Matrix for Civil/ Structural System
For above ground modeling clashes, Civil/ Structural discipline clashes shall be
checked against Piping, Equipment, HVAC, Cable tray/ trench work system for
Electrical, Instrumentation and Telecom and Generic area systems.
However, Structure system shall be included in matrix only for the underground
interference checking where interferences between structure models need to be
cleared.
17.16
APPEARANCE OF INTERFERENCE
The Database Detect process marks any persistent interferences with a spherical
interference marks at the location of the interference. For example, the Database
Detect service found interference between this floor slab and this column so it placed a
spherical interference marker at that location.
The Local Detect process marks any interference it finds with a cube interference
marker. For example, right after this pipe was placed and paused until the IFC shows
100% in the status bar, the Local Detect service found an interference between the
pipe and the floor. So it placed a cube interference marker at that location.
For both processes, the colour of the marker indicates the type of the interference:
Red for Severe,
Green for Clearance

Yellow for Optional
Modify the default interference marker colours by using the Format > Surface Style
Rules command. Change the size of both the Database Detect and Local Detect
interference markers by using the Marker size option on the Interference Server
Setting dialog box in Project Management task and the Interference Checking Settings
dialog box in the Common task, respectively.
17.17
CHECK INTERFERENCE COMMAND
This command is available on the Tools menu. Check Interference Ribbon Provides
the following options related to the interference checking process.
Settings - Displays the Interference Checking Settings dialog box. This dialog box
allows specifying the properties for the Local Detect interference. The Database
Detect properties must be configured at the server in the Project Management task.
Show Interferences - Displays the types of interferences specified on the Display tab
of the Interference Checking Settings dialog box. These are the interferences that
may exist for the objects selected. For example, if Clearance as interference type and
Edit as the option for Required Action is checked and then pipes in the workspace is
selected to run the interference check, the software displays only Clearance
interferences for those pipes when selecting the Show command. If parts are not
selected, then interferences appear for all parts in the workspace.
Hide Interferences - Hides the interferences that exist for the currently selected parts.
If parts are not selected, then all interferences in the workspace are hidden. All Local
Detect interferences in the workspace are automatically hidden when selecting this
option. For example, if four Database Detect and two Local Detect interferences
appear and two of the Database Detect interferences to hide are selected, the two
Database Detect interferences selected and all of the Local Detect interferences are
hidden. Thus, the workspace contains only the two unselected Database Detect
interferences.
Fit Interferences - Fits the active graphic view to the parts that match the interference
check criteria. For example, if there are six severe interferences and two of these
interferences are between a pump and a boiler. If this pump and boiler are selected
and then the Fit command on the Check Interference ribbon is clicked, the software
fits only these two parts into the graphic view. If any of the six interferences are not
selected, the Fit command is unavailable. Refresh Reference 3D Interferences Retrieves interferences between Reference 3D (R3D) objects. This option is available
when an external 3D reference model has been attached to the model.
List View - Toggles the display of the Interference List dialog box. The list on this
dialog box shows all interferences that currently appear in the workspace. The list
automatically updates whenever an interference object to the workspace is added.
Required Action Displays the action required to deal with the selected interference.
It is not possible to edit this option for local interferences.
17.18
CLEARANCE CRITERIA
The IFC Clearance Rule sheet in the IFCRule.xls workbook defines rules for
clearances around object aspects. Clearances pertain to any object in the model that
is a part. Specify a clearance rule on the Interference Checking Settings dialog box
available from the server or a workstation.
Rule Name - Specifies a name for the rule. Each rule can have many sub-rules that
control the clearance between objects and aspects. If there are sub-rules, do not list
the main rule name in each cell of the Rule Name column.
Object Type - Specifies the names that are used in the rule. Using the Metadata
Browser application, find the object type under the objects classification node and the
User Name property. For example, for piping objects, Pipes are used in the rule; for
structural beams, either Member Part Linear or Member Part Curve is used.
ObjectType1 - Provides the type of object for the first object. Clearances are usually
defined between two types of objects and their aspects. This sheet shows all the
acceptable object type pairs on which the interference checking process can run.
Aspect1 - Provides the aspect of the first object. Aspects are listed on the Aspect
Code sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook.
ObjectType2 - Provides the type of object for the second object. Clearances are
usually defined between two types of objects and their aspects. This sheet shows all
the acceptable object type pairs on which the interference checking process can run.
Aspect2 - Provides the aspect of the second object. Aspects are listed on the Aspect
Code sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook.
Clearance - Specifies the clearance in millimetres.
17.19
