Hierarchy

• All data is stored in the form of a hierarchy

• a top level, World (usually represented by the
symbolic name /*) and two principal administrative
sublevels, Site and Zone.
• At the top of the tree is WORLD which contains
number of SITES. In each SITE there are number of
ZONES. While modeling the designer shall model in
the correct SITE & the correct ZONE as per the
philosophy decided at the start of the project
• WORLD
o The complete plant area appearing in the Plot Plan or the overall layout
can be considered as “WORLD” for the Project

• SITE
o there are individual SITES created for different disciplinesi.e. Mechanical
Equipment, Piping, Electrical, Instrumentation, etc. These sub-areas are
used to create SITES

• ZONE
o In each of the SITES created there are different categories of components
which are required to be modeled under each discipline.
 Equipment Modeling Using E3D-

Primitives And Templates

• Can be done by
o Using Primitives
o Using Templates

• Equipment Modeling Using Primitives

o Primitives means different shapes or object which can be assembled
together to create required geometry of an equipment. These primitives
can be modified to required dimension and orientation
o Create>Primitives

• Templates can be created using
