What's New in Equipment Eden Interface

The following changes have been made to the Equipment Eden Interface:
Version 2010
INSULATION_PURPOSE has been added to the equip_group data definition. This attribute
is used to support the display of equipment insulation.
New example code for envelope_insulation has been added to the documentation.

SECTION 1
The Eden Basics

Eden is a high-level symbol definition language modeled on the FORTRAN programming
language that allows you to design your own symbols for equipment, piping, instrumentation,
and specialty items.
The Eden language syntax is not case sensitive. You can write code with whatever case
conventions make it easiest for you to read. While you do not need a programming background
to write Eden programs, any programming experience is highly recommended.
Most of the symbol definition functions are built into Eden's command structure. This high-level
command structure makes it easier to share code among several different symbol definitions.
Eden is flexible enough to allow you to design codes specific to your company's needs, yet
offers predefined subroutines, called primitives, which carry out functions often repeated within
symbol definitions.
For example, the following primitive draws a cone with a length of X units, a diameter at the
active point (first end) of Y units and a diameter at the opposite end of Z units:
Call Draw_Cone (X, Y, Z)
The output produced will look similar to the following graphic:
You can call up to five nested subroutines within a program.
Equipment Symbol Processor

The symbol processor is the Eden code that defines an equipment component. It calls all the
subroutines or modules that activate forms, check input data, assign placement points, and place
graphics.
The first line of an Eden module defines the module name. The following statement is used in
the Eden modules to indicate a symbol processor module:
Symbol_Processor 'MODULE NAME'
The module name should be entered using UPPER CASE characters. For example:
Symbol_Processor 'APUMP'
The following example symbol processor defines a horizontal pump:

Tutorial Definition Table

You can create or modify tutorial definition tables using an ASCII editor. The first line in a
tutorial definition table defines the tutorial name. This entry must begin in column 1.
Each input field in a tutorial must have a corresponding row in a tutorial definition table. Each
row includes seven entries: field number, data type, global variable, nozzle number, input
attribute, default string, and field name.
1.
field number
the tutorial field number defining the form (gadget number).
2.
datatype
the data type of the field. This entry is a number whose values
include:
3.
number
1=
linear dimension
2=
angular dimension
3=
integer (no units)
4=
length for NOZ_LENGTH1
5=
length for NOZ_LENGTH2
6=
length for NOZ_RADIUS
7=
equipment entity database attribute
8=
nozzle entity database attribute
9=
field to receive values for CSTRING_x variables
a table data entry which the system interprets differently for each
data type:
For data types 1, 2, and 3, number is a value that can range from 1 to
The Eden Basics

100 defining the global variable DIMENSION_n, which holds the
fields input. For example, if number is set to 10 in the table, then
any input into the field is placed by the software into
DIMENSION_10. The symbol can then refer to DIMENSION_10
and use it in any of its calculations. For data types 4, 5, and 6, this
field is ignored.
For more information on the Equipment Modeling DDL, refer to
Appendix: Equipment Data Definition (on page 121).
For data types 7 and 8, number defines the attribute number in the

For example, if the data type is 7 and number is 1, then any input to this field is put in
the equipment entity, attribute number 1 (or equipment name) field of the record that
is written to the database when the component is placed. Refer to the model database
DDL for a complete description of each attribute in both the equipment and nozzle
entities.
For data type 9, number specifies the CSTRING variable to receive the value.
4.
nozzle
a number that identifies the nozzle with which a field will be

associated. This field is only needed for data types 4, 5, 6, and 8.
Each nozzle in a parametric symbol must be assigned a unique
umber. (Refer to the DEFINE_NOZZLE and the
RETRIEVE_NOZZLE_PARAMETERS primitives.) This number is
the same as the RETRIEVE_NOZZLE_PARAMETERS primitive.
Each nozzle in a parametric requires a set of fields for defining the
nozzle size, rating, facing, tag, possibly length, and possibly other
database attributes. The nozzle number allows the software to
distinguish one nozzle tag input field or one nozzle size input field
from another.
5.
attributes
an entry that describes the input field itself. The available values for
this item include:
1-
user input is optional.
2 -
user input is required.
The Eden Basics

3 -
user input is optional but causes return to the symbol.

This type of field has also been called a terminated
key-in field. Refer to the DISPLAY_TUTORIAL
primitive for more information on how to handle these
fields from the symbol.
4-
user input is required but causes return to the symbol.

This is also a terminated key-in field.
Example:
A tutorial has a field for which the attribute entry in the tutorial
definition table contains the number two. You are not allowed to
select the ACCEPT field to exit from the tutorial until you have
provided a valid input for the field.
6.
default
an entry allowing you to define a default for a particular tutorial

input field. The entry can take on several forms. All of the
expressions outlined below must be surrounded by single quotes in
the tutorial definition table.
The default types include:
"XXX-"
A literal string used for defaulting character string

input fields.
The double quote must be included as a delimiter.
Example:
"101-C"
Fxxx-
Use the current value of tutorial field number xxx as

the default for this field. Note that user-defined field
numbers can range from 1 to 200. (System-defined
fields range from 201 to 256 and may not appear in
default expressions.) Example: F23
Dxxx-
Use the contents of DIMENSION_xxx as the default

for this field. There is no practical limit on the number
of tutorials that a symbol can activate. Therefore, any
calculations that were made before the symbol
definition activated the current tutorial can provide
defaults for that tutorial. Example: D23
Cxx-
Use the contents of CSTRING_xx as the default for

this field.
xx.x-
Decimal constant with or without a decimal point. All

distances are assumed to be in English subunits
(inches). If the default is a metric constant, then the
constant should be given a suffix of M. Example:
125M
The Eden Basics

expr-
Combine any of the above three default types to form a

valid arithmetic expression. Valid operators are +, -, *,
/, and . Use parentheses to alter order of evaluation.
An expression is not evaluated until all fields are
defined. Example: (F1+F2)/2+30. This expression is
not computed until both fields 1 and 2 are defined.
Default expressions are currently limited to 20 characters in length.

Example:
101-C - default for an equipment item name field
Example:
F1/2+10 - use the first input to field 1 divided by 2 plus 10 inches
as the default.
7.
name
defines an alphanumeric name for the field which will be used in

future software releases for reporting and alphanumeric placement of
parametrics. The field name can be a maximum of 10 characters in
length.
The gadget numbers 1-10 (Column 1 - Field) in the tutorial definition table correspond to gadget
numbers 951-960 on the form.
1 = 951
2 = 952
3 = 953
4 = 954
5 = 955
6 = 956
7 = 957
8 = 958
9 = 959
10 = 960
Gadget numbers 11, 12, 13 ... remain 11, 12, 13 ....
Example
The following example tutorial definition table displays a piece of equipment with 7 dimensional
inputs (rows 1-7), 4 nozzles (rows 11-26), and 3 fields for equipment entity database attributes
(rows 8-10).

In the tutorial above, the default value for field 1 on the tutorial is 30 inches.
Since the default value for field 3 is F2, your first input to field 2 is displayed in field 3 by
the system.
Since the second column is equal to 1 for fields 1 through 7, they are all linear dimension
inputs. Your input into these fields is placed in variables DIMENSION_1 through
DIMENSION_7.
Field 8 collects your equipment ID (equipment entity, attribute number 1). In general, it is
easier to place the symbol if the equipment ID field is put directly on each tutorial.
There is a set of four fields on the tutorial for each nozzle defined in the parametric (tag,
size, rating, end prep). This is the minimum number of fields that can be present to allow
complete definition of a nozzle.If you do not define the nozzle tag for a particular nozzle,
then that nozzle will not be placed.
Nozzle tag numbers cannot be defaulted.
Since there is no field on the tutorial that explicitly collects individual nozzle lengths, the
symbol logic must calculate them.
Each nozzle has a default end prep of 21 (nozzle entity, attribute number 5). This is a codelisted attribute in the database. The value 21 is the codelist value for a raised face. The
default expression can also be entered as "RFFE", which is the codelist text for raised face
end prep.
The Eden Basics
Forms Interface
Forms in equipment modeling serve to collect input via key-in fields or command buttons. They
also provide feedback information to the user through message fields.
Input fields and application commands have unique identification numbers. These numbers are
used with the tutorial definition table (TDF) to communicate to the software the use for each
field or command. The data entered through the forms serves as the input that defines the values
of the global variables used by the symbol processor. When a new equipment item is defined
through Eden, a form has to be created to define the component's parameters. DBAccess is used
to build forms.

SECTION 2
Eden Language Structure

Eden is similar to the FORTRAN programming language. Therefore, the general rules for
evaluating expressions in Eden are identical to those in FORTRAN.
You do not need to know FORTRAN to use the Eden language.
Eden definitions are usually simpler than FORTRAN programs. To use Eden, you must be able
to visualize the symbol (in 3D) that you want to develop.
The Eden language structure incorporates:
Statements
Beginning
Ending
Variables
Local
Global
Keywords
Operators
Arithmetic
Relational
Logical
Expressions
Functions
Primitives (or Subroutines)
Beginning Statements
Beginning statements define the types of modules being entered. Names within the single quotes
must be all upper case.
SP - Symbol_Processor '6CHAR'
UF - User_Function_Definition '28CHAR'
Examples
Symbol_Processor 'A001'
User_Function_Definition 'A001_CHECK'
13
Ending Statements
Ending statements mark the end of the module in which the system has been processing. Ending
statements in the symbol and subsymbol processor include:
Stop
End
Ending statements in the user functions include:

Return
End
Begin
The Begin primitive allows you to generate graphics for 2D shadow, envelopes, various light
steel categories, and holes.
Syntax
Call Begin <category>
Options
category
keyword specifying the graphics category you want to place.

Allowable category keywords for each class of graphics include:
Regular equipment graphics
EQUIPMENT
This is executed at the beginning of symbol

execution. It is needed if you have placed some
other category and want to resume equipment
graphics.
Interference envelope graphics

ENVELOPE_MAINTENANCE_HARD
ENVELOPE_MAINTENANCE_SOFT
ENVELOPE_ACCESS_HARD
ENVELOPE_ACCESS_SOFT
ENVELOPE_SAFETY_HARD
ENVELOPE_SAFETY_SOFT
ENVELOPE_CONSTRUCTION_HARD
ENVELOPE_CONSTRUCTION_SOFT
2D footprint graphics
SHADOW
14

Light steel graphics
LADDER
PLATFORM
HANDRAIL
MISCELLANEOUS
Holes
HOLE
NOHOLE
The keywords HOLE and NOHOLE are different

from other keywords in that they do not represent a
separate category of graphics. You can include
Begin(HOLE) within another Begin category. A
Begin(HOLE) remains in effect across other Begin
calls until a Begin(NOHOLE) is reached. Hole
graphics are given the level and symbology of holes.
Surface Type
SOLID
SURFACE
The keywords SOLID and SURFACE set the active

surface type of subsequent graphics. The default is
SOLID. This results in capped surfaces. With the
SURFACE keyword, you can place uncapped
shapes such as open-ended cylinders.
Except for nozzles and placepoints, all graphics assume the level and symbology of the last
executed Begin statement. Placepoints always belong to the equipment/parametric cell. If your
symbol executes no EQUIPMENT category graphics, an otherwise empty parametric equipment
cell is created for housing the placepoints.
A Begin statement can repeat itself any number of times. After execution, it becomes the active
category for subsequent element placement calls. A (non-EQUIPMENT) Begin statement must
be followed by at least one call to generate graphic elements; otherwise, that Begin statement
will have no effect on symbol graphics.
Begin EQP Category

The Begin EQP Category primitive allows you to create graphics for various EQUIPMENT
subcategories each having its own level and symbol.
Syntax
Begin_EQP_Category (subcategory)
15
Options
subcategory
is a character string indicating the subcategory. There are presently

20 subcategories available. A valid subcategory must be one that has
been defined via the Project Administrator Module. Alternatively,
you can use one of the following:
EQP_CATEGORY_1,
EQP_CATEGORY_2,
..
..
..
EQP_CATEGORY_20
The argument is checked only when you place the symbol and not
during compilation.
Restrictions
You can use this call only within the Begin (EQUIPMENT) call. Also, you cannot make this
call when Draw Complex Surface or Start Complex Shape is in progress. By default, the
Begin (EQUIPMENT) and Begin EQP Category ('EQP_CATEGORY_1') calls are active when
a symbol executes.
Example
The following example is a valid code fragment:

Call Begin (ENVELOPE_MAINTENANCE_HARD)
..
graphics
..
Call Begin (EQUIPMENT)
Call Begin_EQP_Category ('PUMPS')
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (4, 0)
..
..
Call Begin (HOLE)
anywhere
..
..
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (-99, 0)
! pump graphics
! HOLE is allowed
! end pump
! Begin (EQUIPMENT) not active
This example is not a valid code fragment:

Call Draw_Complex_Surface (4, 0)
16
! to set category next

! 'PUMPS' must be a valid
! category for project
The following example is not a valid code fragment:

Call Begin (LADDER)
..
..
! place envelope
! cannot change within surface
Variables
Variables in Eden can be either local or global. They can contain either numeric or
alphanumeric data. Internally, numeric data is stored as REAL*8 (double precision). If a
different data type is required in the context of an expression, then the conversion is performed
at the time the expression is evaluated.
Variable names can be either upper or lower case. Symbols tend to be easier to read when
you use all lower case for local symbols and all upper case for global symbols or vice versa.
Examples
When converting a floating point number to an integer, the fractional part of the floating
point number is truncated.
A variable used in a logical expression evaluates to TRUE when the value of the variable is
1 and 0 when the logical value is FALSE.
Variables that hold values representing distances are assumed to be in subunits. A variable
containing the value 25 represents 25 inches in an English unit design file and 25 millimeters
in a metric unit design file.
Be careful when using hard coded numbers or when using the system_of_units variable.
Local Variables
Local variables are user defined and declared in the symbol definition. You can refer to a local
variable only when you are in the same module as the local variable.
Local variable names are formed using alphanumeric (a-z), numeric (1-9), and special (_ and $)
characters. They must begin with an alphanumeric character and must be less than or equal to
31 characters in length.
The Eden compiler does not verify the spelling of local variables within call
statements. It assumes a null value for the misspelled variable at component placement time.
The Eden language refers to constants as local variables. Both character strings and numeric
constants are valid; however, character string constants must be surrounded by single quotes. In
most cases, character strings and constants are case sensitive. Thus, a and A are interpreted
differently.
Examples
diameter
13.25
shell_thickness
'A TEXT STRING'
projection_1
radius [2]
25
Only in Pipe Support and Equipment Modeling can you declare local variable types. The
variable types default to either CHARACTER or REAL depending on the context. To override
this default, you can use a local variable type declaration statement anywhere before the
variable(s) is (are) actually referenced. Variable types INT2, R8, and LOCATION are
recognized by the compiler.
17
Example
In the following example, variables a, B, and C are declared as type short integers. They hold
values ranging from -32767 to 32767.
Int2 a
Int2 B, C
Example
In the example below, variable d is declared as a type REAL, capable of holding decimal
fractional values. This is the usual default type for numeric variables. However, explicit typing
to this category may be necessary to declare local arrays.
R8 d
As a recommendation, all declaration statements should be placed at the very beginning of the
symbol code and not interspersed among statements to be executed during symbol placement.
This improves program readability.
Also in Pipe Support and Equipment Modeling, referencing a variable using subscripts is
extremely useful when coding repetitive statements such as the body of a loop. Prior to use,
variables must appear in a type declaration in which its subscript or index range is also specified.
Example
In the example below, D is an array of 5 short integer variables stored contiguously. The
individual elements are referenced as D[1], D[2], D[3], D[4], and D[5]. You can also use a
variable or an arithmetic expression for indexing, such as D[i] where i is a value between 1 and
5, or D [i+1] where i is a value between 0 and 4. INT2-typed variables are particularly useful in
DO loops and array indexing where integral numbers are necessary and roundoffs must be
avoided. They are also stored much more efficiently than REAL variables.
Int2 D[5], EF[6]
Example
Below, LENGTHS is an array of 10 REAL variables. They are referenced as LENGTHS [1] ...
LENGTHS [10].
R8 LENGTHS [10]
Example
In the following example, PT is declared as a buffer with four locations.
Location PT [12]
where
PT [1], PT [4], PT [7] PT [10] are x-coordinates
PT [2], PT [5], PT [8] PT [11] are y-coordinates
PT [3], PT [6], PT [9] PT [12] are z-coordinates
These variables provide alternate locations for the point values that you do not want to store in
POINT_1 ... POINT_24... POINT [125]. You will also find them useful in accessing individual
components of a location. (Refer to the REPLACEMENT STATEMENT section.)
Location PT [12]
18

An array-formatted variable may also be referenced without the index. In this case, the first
element of the array is accessed. For example, PT and PT [1] are functionally the same in the
above example.
Currently, only single expression subscripts (that is, single dimensioned arrays) are possible.
Global Variables Common to Piping, Equipment, and Pipe

Support Modeling
Global variables are system-defined names allowing you to refer to them at any subroutine level.
More specifically, you can use them for passing values between subroutine levels or for
communicating input values to the symbol. The following list shows the global variables
common to all Eden applications. Refer to the application-specific section for detailed
information concerning specific global variables.
Global variables are system-defined. You cannot declare global or subscripted global
variables.
Input_n
(Input_1 through Input_20) An array with up to 20 variables used

to define the input parameters for table lookups. (Input_11
through Input_20 are specifically designed for user function
arguments in equipment and pipe support modeling.)
Output_n
(Output_1 through Output_20) An array with up to 20 variables

where the results of the table lookup are stored. (Output_11
through Output_20 are specifically designed for user function
return arguments in equipment and pipe support modeling.)
Dimension_n
(Dimension_1 through Dimension_100 for equipment and pipe

supports, Dimension_1 through Dimension_20 for piping)
General purpose variables used for communicating input to the
symbol logic. You can also use these variables for passing values
between subroutines or simply for local storage. (Dimension_20
is for angle; Dimension_1 through Dimension_19 is for linear
piping.)
Pr_Rating_n
Variable containing the current item pressure rating value.
Nom_Pipe_D_n
Variable containing the current item nominal pipe diameter. This

variable contains the nominal diameter in coded units. A special
primitive is provided to help you convert from coded units to
subunits.
Gen_Type_n
Variable containing the current item end preparation generic type

(BLT, MAL, FEM). This is a read-only variable.
Term_Type_n
Variable containing the current item end preparation termination

type (21, 22, and 23 will fall into Term_Type_1=20). This is a
read-only variable.
Standard_Type
Variable containing the current item standard type value. This is a

read-only variable and is a function of TABLE_SUFFIX.
19
Global Variables Common to Equipment and Pipe Support

Modeling
The following list contains global variables common to Equipment and Pipe Support Modeling.
For more information on global variables, refer to the System-defined Subroutines section and
the Eden User Interface section.
Point_n
Point [n]
(Point_1 - Point_24) Names representing points that have been

defined or saved for later use in a symbol definition. The n in
[n] can be between 0 and 125.
Act_Lib
Variable that contains an identifier for the active library of

dimension tables. This is a read-only variable.
Cstring_n
(Cstring_1 through Cstring_40) Names representing global

character variables. Each name can contain a maximum of 50
characters.
Last_Inp_Type
Last_Inp_Num
Refer to the Display_Tutorial primitive in the Eden Primitives

section.
NPD_Unit_Type
Contains the nominal piping diameter system of units defined

for the model file. You can test this variable against the
keywords ENGLISH and METRIC. This is a read-only
variable.
Global Variables (EQP Specific)

The following list contains global variables specific to Equipment Modeling. For more
information on global variables, refer to the System-defined Subroutines section and the Eden
User Interface section.
20
PP_Location_n
(PP_Location_1 - PP_Location_10) Names representing the

point locations that have been defined as place points in the
course of a symbol definition.
End_Prep
Variable containing the current nozzle end preparation value.
Noz_Length1
Variable containing the current nozzle length value. This

variable applies to type 2 and 3 nozzles only. For type 3, the
length is from the end of the nozzle connected to the vessel to
the centerline of the bend.
Noz_Length2
Variable containing the current second nozzle length value.

This variable applies to type 3 nozzles only and measures the
length from the face of the nozzle to the centerline of the bend.
Noz_Radius
Variable containing the current nozzle bend radius. Applies to

type 3 nozzles only.
Table_Suffix
Variable containing the current nozzle table suffix value.

PP_Primary_n
(PP_Primary_1 through PP_Primary_10) Names representing

orientation of primary axes for place points defined during
symbol placement.
PP_Secondary_n
(PP_Secondary_1 through PP_Secondary_10) Names

representing orientation of secondary axes for place points
defined during symbol placement.
PP_Normal_n
(PP_Normal_1 through PP_Normal_10) Names representing

orientation of normal axes for place points defined during
symbol placement.
Subscripted Global Variables

In Equipment and Pipe Support Modeling, a global variable can contain an index value as part of
the variable name even though the index value is not a variable. This is known as subscripted
global variables. For example, Dimension_10 and Point_3 are global variables whose index
values are 10 and 3, respectively.
You can reference the same location using subscripted global variables, which contain an index
either as a variable or as an expression. For example, Dimension [10] and Point [3] are
subscripted global variables whose index values are 10 and 3, respectively. They are equivalent
to Dimension_10 and Point_3. Subscripted global variables are useful when using loops. Below
is a list comparing the two methods of accessing global variables with indexes:
Subscripted Global Variable (variable
index)
Global Variable with non-variable index
cstring [1] ... cstring [40]
cstring_1 ... cstring_40
dimension [1] ... dimension [100]
dimension_1 ...dimension_100
dp [1] ... dp [30]
dp1 ... dp30
inputs [1] ... inputs [20]
input_1 ... input_20
outputs [1] ... outputs [20]
output_1 ... output_20
pp [1] ... pp [10]
pp1 ... pp10
point [0] ... point [125]

(point [0] ... point [24]
point_0 ... point_24)
pp_primary [1] ... pp_primary [10]
pp_primary_1 ...pp_primary_10
pp_secondary [1] ... pp_secondary [10]
pp_secondary_1 ...pp_secondary_10
pp_normal [1] ... pp_normal [10]
pp_normal_1 ... pp_normal_10
pp_location [1] ... pp_location [10]

pp_location_1 ...pp_location_10
A global variable referenced without a subscript causes the first element to be accessed. Thus,
Point and Point [0], Dimension and Dimension_1 are functionally equivalent.
21

reaches the END statement, an implicit STOP is executed.
There are other keywords primarily used in specific subroutine calls. These keywords can be
found in the subsections that describe their associated primitives. Keywords
22

APPLICATION_CMD and USER_KEYIN are described under the DISPLAY_TUTORIAL
primitive. Keywords such as PT_BORE and COG_TYPE are explained under the GET_POINT
and PLACE_COG primitives, respectively.
TYPE Statement
TYPE statements allow you to assign up to 150 labels or types to a symbol. The syntax for the
TYPE statement is:
#TYPE = Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, ... , Type n
where
Labels representing types under which the
symbol will be classified.
Using each type, you can later inquire on the symbol. (Refer to the PDS Equipment Modeling
(PD_EQP) Reference Guide for information on Parametric Help.)
A type label can be up to 28 characters long. The compiler automatically left justifies each type
and converts it to upper case. You can enter any number of complete type labels that fit in a line.
Multiple TYPE statements are allowed. A TYPE statement can appear anywhere in the source
code; however, the # character must appear in column 1.
Type 1 ... Type n
Example
The following TYPE statement appears in the code for a multi-diameter vertical vessel supported
on skirt.
#TYPE = tower, vertical vessel, drum, reactor
DESCRIPTION Statement
The DESCRIPTION statement assigns a descriptive phrase of up to 40 characters to the symbol.
This description appears next to the symbol name when you inquire on the symbol library from
the PDS Equipment Task. (See the PDS Equipment Modeling (PD_EQP) Reference Guide for
information on Parametric Help.)
The syntax for the DESCRIPTION statement is:
#DESC = This is a description
A DESCRIPTION statement can appear anywhere in the symbol code. The description string is
placed left justified by the compiler. When more than one DESCRIPTION statement appears,
only the last statement is used. The # character must appear in column one.
23
Comments
When you place an exclamation point (!) anywhere in an Equipment Modeling source line, the
remainder of that line is treated as a comment.
Example
Call define_placepoint (PP1, POINT_1)
! POINT_1 is used to
! define place point 1
Operators
Operators are used in conjunction with variables to form expressions. As in FORTRAN,
operators can be any one of three types:
1. Arithmetic
2. Relational
3. Logical
Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used to form arithmetic expressions. These operators follow the
mathematical conventions. Valid arithmetic operators include:
+
addition
subtraction
multiplication
division
**
exponentiation
//
concatenation using '_'
||
concatenation without using '_'
The first five operators (+, -, *, /, **) can only be used with numeric local and global variables.
The concatenation operators (// , || ) can be used with both numeric and string variables.
The concatenation operator // is used primarily to form table names. It joins two variables
together with an underbar (_) character. The result is a text string.
Example
'ABC' // 'DEF'
produces
'ABC_DEF'
When using the concatenation operation, real numbers are converted to integers (that is,
truncated), then converted to character strings and finally joined together with the underbar
character. The concatenation operation is generally used to form messages and character field
outputs.
24
Relational Operators
Relational operators are used to form relational expressions that test the value of an Eden
expression or establish conditions under which a group of Eden statements can be executed.
Valid relational operators include:
.EQ.
equal to
.NE.
not equal to
.GE.
greater than or equal to
.GT.
greater than
.LE.
less than or equal to
.LT.
less than
Periods must appear before and after the expression.
Relational operators can be used on both numeric and character string variables. However,
mixing the two types of operands for a given operation produces computing errors.
In character relational expressions, less than means precedes in the ASCII collating sequence,
and greater than means follows in the ASCII collating sequence.
'ABCD' .LT. 'ACCD'
If two strings in a relational expression are not the same length, the shorter one is padded on the
right with spaces until the lengths are equal.
'PQRSTU' .EQ. 'PQR
'PQRSTU' .EQ. 'PQR
'
'
Logical Operators
Logical operators are used to combine relational expressions into more complex logical
expressions. Valid logical operators include:
.OR.
logical or
.AND. logical and

Periods must appear before and after the expression.
Expressions
Expressions are variables, constants, and operators combined to make statements. The format of
most Eden expressions is the same as in FORTRAN. Valid expressions include:
Replacement
simple arithmetic replacement
Call
executes primitives or subroutines
Do while
execute loop
Indexed Do
execute loop
If - then - else
conditional execution
25
For every IF statement, there must be an ENDIF statement to end the expression. You can
nest up to five If-then-else expressions within an Eden module.
For the Replacement, Do while, and If-then-else expressions, you can use parentheses to alter the
precedence of calculation.
Replacement Statements
Replacement statements are used to set variables or perform calculations. The following list
illustrates the various Replacement statements:
thickness = 25.
vessel_od = DIMENSION_1
test = test + 1
tutor_name = 'EXCH1'
table_name = 'BLT' // GEN_TYPE // PR_RATING // '5'
dim_a = (dim_b + dim_c) * 2. + dim_d
In Equipment and Pipe Support Modeling, all three components of a point (or location variable)
can be replaced by another point value with one assignment statement.
Example
In the following example, PT is declared as a buffer of three points. The second statement saves
pt [4], pt [5], pt [6] into global location Point_5. In the third statement, the location value stored
in point [2] is saved in a PT buffer, the x-coordinate being assigned to pt [7], y to pt [8], and so
forth. Likewise, in the last statement, the POINT_3 components are replaced by those of
Point_4 in one aggregate operation.
Location pt [9]
.
.
point [5] = pt [4]
.
.
pt [7] = point_2
.
.
point_3 = point [4]
Call Statement
Call statements are used to execute system primitives. The syntax for the Call statement is:
call "primitive" or "subroutine" (argument 1, argument 2, ...)
Example
Call Place_Cylinder_With_Capped_Ends (diameter, length)
Call Define_Placepoint (PP1)
26
Do While Statement
The Do While statement is used to form indefinite loops. The condition of a Do While statement
must equal a logical value (either true or false). The body of the Do While statement will be
repeatedly executed as long as the logical expression remains true.
Example
The following Do While loop places four cylinders end to end. The pretested loop condition
fails on the fifth try (if i equals 4), and control transfers to the message display routine.
i = 0
do while (i .LT. 4)
i = i + 1
Call Draw_Cylinder_With_Capped_Ends (diam, leng)
enddo
Call Display_Message ('Out of loop now')
Indexed Do Statement
The Indexed Do statement allows you to form loops that execute a specified number of times.
This number is determined by an initial, a terminal, and an incremental parameter of a control
variable. The syntax for the Indexed Do statement is:
do V = v1, v2, v3
.
.
.
enddo
where
V
v1
v2
v3
is a control variable (non-string type)

are constants or variables that evaluate to the initial, terminal, and
incremental parameters respectively. v3 is optional. If v3 is omitted, the
system assumes that the incremental parameter is one.
V3 cannot be negative.
Example
In this example, I is set to 1. The body of the loop is then executed. I increments by 2 each time
the cycle is complete, and the value 3 is checked against the terminator 20. The iteration
continues as long as I is less than or equal to 20. When the iteration is greater than 20, the loop
ends.
do I = 1, 20, 2
.
.
.
enddo
27
If - then - else Statement

If - then - else statements are used when a group of statements is to be conditionally executed.
The Eden syntax is the same as FORTRAN syntax.
if (condition) then
.
.
.
else
.
.
.
endif
Example
if (DIMENSION_1 .gt. 24.) then
thk = thk + .125
else
thk =
thk + .250
endif
An If statement of the form if (condition) is not valid. In Eden, all If statements must be
of the form If (condition) then. The else statement is optional.
Functions
Eden provides several functions for performing common mathematical operations. These
functions can be used within replacement statements.
The following functions must contain the parentheses.
DSQRT () square root
DABS () absolute value
DSINR () sine of an angle in radians
DCOSR () cosine of an angle in radians
DTANR () tangent of angle in radians
DSIND () sine of an angle in degrees
DCOSD () cosine of an angle in degrees
DTAND () tangent of an angle in degrees
DASINR () arcsine returned in radians
DACOSR () arccosine returned in radians
DATANR () arctangent returned in radians
DASIND () arcsine returned in degrees
DACOSD () arccosine returned in degrees
DATAND () arctangent returned in degrees
28
Example
The following list illustrates a few possible Eden functions:
length = hypot * DSIND (30.)
side = DTANR (pi/2) + 32.
hypot = DSQRT (a**2 + b**2)
angle = DATAND (side1/side2)

Primitives are system-defined routines that perform specific functions for symbol definition.

Convert NPD to Subunits

The Convert NPD to Subunits primitive converts the coded input value and returns its Real*8
equivalent. This primitive is often used for converting the nominal piping diameter that is stored
in the database.
Metric files base the diameter in millimeters. Imperial files store the nominal piping
diameter as NPD 1/32 + 5000. Thus,
1 inch NPD is 5000 + 32 * 1 = 5032
20 inch NPD is 5000 + 32 * 20 = 5640
For Eden symbols in Piping that use imperial and metric files, hard-coding the dimensions is not
recommended. A dimension entered as 5 inches and placed in an Imperial file is interpreted as 5
inches. However, the same value placed in a Metric file is interpreted as 5 millimeters. Instead
of hard coding, load the dimensions in a table to allow the piping software to convert the
dimensions to the correct values.
This primitive does not perform unit conversions. If American standard pipe sizes are being
used in a Metric file, this primitive will return the NPD in inches.
Syntax
Call Convert_NPD_To_Subunits (coded_input, npd)
Options
coded_input
The nominal pipe diameter in internal or coded units. This variable

must be the keyword Nom_Pipe_D_n.
npd
The nominal piping diameter in subunits.
Examples
In this example, the Real*8 equivalence of the coded NPD in Nom_Pipe_D_1 is returned in
Pipe_Dia_1.
Call Convert_NPD_To_Subunits (Nom_Pipe_D_1, pipe_dia_1)
All NPDs used internally in the software are in encoded form. Most table lookups based
on NPDs require the input to be in encoded form. However, if a nozzle size is needed in a
calculation, it must be converted from internal units to subunits.
Define Active Orientation

The Define Active Orientation primitive allows you to define the active orientation by
specifying the directions of the primary and secondary axes. The orientation is defined in the
local coordinate system by the symbol. This definition has no bearing on the design file
coordinate system.
31

In Piping, this primitive defines the current flow centerline and a direction that is normal to the
flow centerline in terms of the connect point orientation (defined by the symbol's connect point
geometry) in order to place graphic shapes.
Specific keywords are available for specifying either the primary axis or the secondary axis of
the connect point's orientation.
Syntax
Call Define_Active_Orientation (primary, secondary)
Options
primary
Variable that defines the flow centerline or primary direction.
secondary
Variable that defines the line perpendicular to the flow centerline or

secondary direction.
Valid keywords for the primary and secondary variables include:
EAST
PP_PRIMARY_n
WEST
PP_SECONDARY_n
NORTH
PP_NORMAL_n
SOUTH
PRIMARY
UP
SECONDARY
DOWN
NORMAL
For the Equipment Modeling keywords, you must define n using the Define Placepoint primitive
before using any of the PP keywords.
If the initial active orientation for a symbol definition has the primary pointing east and
the secondary pointing north, the normal axis of the active orientation would be up. (Normal
axis can be found using the right-hand rule.)
Example
In the following example, the primary orientation is set to point west, and the secondary
orientation is set to point down:
Call Define_Active_Orientation (WEST,DOWN)
32
Draw Cone
The Draw Cone primitive places a cone where the first end is at the current active point and the
second end is at a location computed by the system given the input length along the primary
axis. You must define the diameters of each end of the cone with separate variables.
Syntax
Call Draw_Cone (length, diameter_1, diameter_2)
Options
length
The length of the cone (A), which can be positive or negative.
diameter_1
The diameter of the cone (B) at the active point.
diameter_2
The diameter of the cone (C) at the end opposite the active
point.
Examples
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'CCONE'
tutnam = 'CCONE'
Call Display_Tutorial (tutnam)
A = DIMENSION_1
B = DIMENSION_2
C = DIMENSION_3
end
Call Define_Placepoint (PP1, Point_0)
Call Draw_Cone (A, B, C)
Call Define_Active_Orientation (WEST, NORTH)
Call Define_Placepoint (PP2, POINT_0)
stop
end
! length of cone
! diameter at active pt
! diameter at opposite
33
Draw Cylinder
The Draw Cylinder primitive places a cylinder where the first end is at the current active point
and the second end is at a location computed by the system along the primary axis. You must
specify the diameter and the length of the cylinder. The active point will be moved to the
opposite end.
Syntax
Call Draw_Cylinder (length, diameter)
Options
length
The length (A) of the cylinder.
diameter
The diameter (B) of the cylinder.
Examples
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'CYLIND'
tutnam = 'CYLIND'
A = DIMENSION_1
length
B = DIMENSION_2
diameter
Call Draw_Cylinder (A, B)
stop
end
!
!
If cyl_len is positive, a cylinder of the specified length is drawn. If cyl_len is zero,

nothing happens. If cyl_len is negative, the active point is moved the specified negative
distance, but the cylinder is not drawn.
34
Draw Eccentric Cone

The Draw Eccentric Cone primitive allows you to place an eccentric truncated cone. The first
end is at the current active point. The second end is at a location the system computes by
moving from the current active point along the current flow centerline by the length of the cone
and along the secondary axis by the negative of the eccentric offset. You must specify the
eccentric offset and the diameters of both ends of the eccentric cone.
Syntax
Call Draw_Eccentric_Cone (length, eccentric_offset, diameter_1,
diameter_2)
Options
length
Cone length (A).
eccentric_offset
Eccentric cone offset. This is the center-to-center distance

between cone endpoints as measured positive going against the
secondary.
diameter_1
Diameter (B) at active point.
diameter_2
Diameter (C) at the opposite end.
Examples
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'ECONE'
tutnam = 'ECONE'
A = DIMENSION_1
B = DIMENSION_2

stop
end
! length
! diameter at active
! diameter at
! offset
35
Draw Projected Rectangle

The Draw Projected Rectangle primitive allows you to place a component with a rectangular
cross section. The current active point must be moved to the center of the rectangle, and the
primary axis must point in the direction of the projection. The secondary axis orients the side of
length1.
You must specify the projected height, projected width, and projected length dimensions.
Syntax
Call Draw_Proj_Rectangle (length1, length2, projection)
Options
length1
Length of the rectangle side (C) parallel to the secondary axis of

the active orientation.
length2
Length of the rectangle side (B) parallel to the normal axis of the
active orientation.

A = DIMENSION_1
! length of projection
B = DIMENSION_2
! length of side parallel to normal
C = DIMENSION_3
! length of side parallel to secondary
Call Draw_Proj_Rectangle (C, B, A)
stop
end
36
Draw Projected Triangle

The Draw Projected Triangle primitive allows you to place a component that has an isosceles
triangular cross-section. The current active point must be moved to the center of the crosssection. The primary axis points in the direction of the projection, and the secondary axis points
to the base of the triangle. You must specify the side length, base length, and projected length
dimensions.
Syntax
Call Draw_Proj_Triangle (project_side_length, project_base_length,
project_length)
Options
project_side_length
Length of the side (A) of the triangle.
project_base_length
Length of the base (B) of the triangle.
project_length
Length of the projection (C).
Restrictions
The active point must be located at the center of geometric shape of the triangle.
The refresh tee must point inward.
Make sure that dimension A is greater than 1/2 of dimension B, otherwise, errors will
result.
Examples
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'TRIANG'
tutnam = 'TRIANG'
A = DIMENSION_1
B = DIMENSION_2
C = DIMENSION_3
angle = DIMENSION_4
if (B .GT. 0) then
DIMENSION_4 = 0
endif
if (angle .GT. 0 .AND. B .EQ. 0) then
angle = angle * 0.5
B = 2.0 * (A * DSIND(angle))
! length a side
! length of base
! length of projection
37

endif
Call Draw_Proj_Triangle (A, B, C)
stop
end
Draw Semi-Ellipsoid
The Draw Semi-Ellipsoid primitive allows you to place a semi-ellipsoid, where the center is at
the current active point. You must specify the diameter of the major axis and the radius of the
minor axis.
The system does not update to a new active orientation after placement of the semiellipsoid.
Syntax
Call Draw_Semi_Ellipsoid (major_axis_diameter, minor_axis_radius)
Options
major_axis_diameter
Variable defining the major axis diameter (A).
minor_axis_radius
Variable defining the minor axis radius (B).
Examples
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'SELLIP'
tutnam = 'SELLIP'
A = DIMENSION_1
B = DIMENSION_2
Call Draw_Semi_Ellipsoid (A, B)
stop
end
38
! major axis diameter

! minor axis radius
Draw Sphere
The Draw Sphere primitive allows you to place a sphere where the center of the sphere is at the
current active point. You must specify the radius, and the radius must be greater than or equal to
() 1/64 inches.
The refresh tee and orientation will not change after placement.
Syntax
Call Draw_Sphere (radius)
Options
radius
Variable (A) defining the sphere radius.
Examples
A = F_to_C_Dim_1*0.5
Call Draw_Sphere (A)
! defining sphere radius
Draw Torus
The Draw Torus primitive allows you to place a torus from the current flow centerline to the
current direction of the secondary axis using the bend radius, bend angle, and diameter you
specify. This call changes the active orientation.
The torus diameter must be greater than or equal to () 1/32 inches, and the bend radius diameter
must be greater than or equal to () 1/32 inches and greater than (>) 1/2 the torus diameter.
39
Syntax
Call Draw_Torus (radius, angle, diameter)
Options
radius

torus to its centerline.
angle
The bend angle of the torus (C).

DIMENSION_3 = 90
endif
C = DIMENSION_3
! bend angle
Call Draw_Torus (B, C, A)
Call Rotate_Orientation (-180., SECONDARY)
stop
end
Abort
The Abort primitive allows you to terminate symbol execution without having to place graphics.
It is similar to the QUIT option available on symbol tutorials. When the system encounters an
Abort call, it displays a message indicating that the symbol execution has aborted.
Syntax
Call Abort (0)
Convert Unit
The Convert Unit primitive is used to convert distance in a given system of units to the design
file system of units. Both lengths are expressed in subunits.
Syntax
Call Convert_Unit (length1, unit type, outlength)
Options
40
length1
Is the input length in subunits.
unit type
Is the input as ENGLISH (for inches) or METRIC (for mm) to

indicate the units in which length1 is expressed.

outlength
Is the output after converting length1 to design file system of units.
Example
In the following example, a length of 10 inches is input. length2 receives the value 10 if the unit
type is set to English or 254 if the unit type is set to Metric.
Call Convert_Unit (10, ENGLISH, length2)
Define Active Point

The Define Active Point primitive functions similarly to the Define Active Orientation
primitive, but also defines the active point in the symbol's local coordinate system.
Syntax
Call Define_Active_Point (point)
Options
point
Is a keyword specifying a previously defined point. Valid values for point

include:
local point variables
global point variables
PP_LOCATION_q (q = 1 - 10)
Restrictions
The initial position of the active point must be located at the symbol's local coordinate
system origin.
Before using POINT_n, you must define it by calling Define Point.
Before using PP_LOCATION_q, you must define it by calling Define Placepoint.
Example
Call Define_Active_Point (POINT_3)
Call Define_Active_Point (PP_LOCATION_1)
Define Datum Point

The Define Datum Point primitive allows you to define and place up to 30 datum points per
symbol. The orientation of the datum point is controlled by the active orientation at the time of
the call.
Syntax
Call Define_Datum_Point (dp, point)
41
Options
dp
Is a keyword specifying the datum point number. Valid values

include:
1...30
point
Is a keyword specifying the datum point location. Valid values

include:
ACTIVE_POINT
local point variable
global point variable
PP_LOCATION [1] ... PP_LOCATION [10]
Example
In the following example, the call defines dp [1]. Its location is given by point_2.
Call Define_Datum_Point (dp [1], point_2 )
In the Add and Modify & Copy commands, this call will not replace or add to existing
datum points for the equipment. In the Modify mode, it will replace existing datum points only
if they are still associated with the symbol being modified. (Refer to the PDS Equipment
Modeling (PD_EQP) Reference Guide for more information.) In either case, if nonparametric
datum points already exist for the piece of equipment, Define Datum Point calls will have no
effect.
Define Library
The Define Library primitive allows you to activate an alternate physical data library.
Syntax
Call Define_Library (library_no)
Options
library_no
42
Is a keyword, variable, or expression whose numeric value specifies which

library is to be opened next. Valid values and their symbolic keywords
include:
1 - ENG_COMM_LIB
The piping physical data library.
3 - EQP_TABLES
The equipment physical data library.

ACT_LIB
Keyword that allows you to see which commodity

library is currently open. ACT_LIB is a read-only
variable and can only be set by the system
following a successful Define_Library call. When
a symbol is first called up, the system
automatically opens the correct commodity library
depending on the nozzle diameter system of units
for the file and then sets ACT_LIB to 1
(ENG_COMM_LIB). Therefore, at the beginning
of symbol execution, you can always expect the
default piping physical data library to be open.
Subsequently, with the Define_Library primitive,
you can change the active library.
Example
In the following example, the active library number (1 or 3) is saved, and the English commodity
library is temporarily opened. When the library is no longer needed, the previously active library
is restored.
save_library = ACT_LIB
Call Define_Library (ENG_COMM_LIB)
.
.
.
Call Define_Library (save_library)
-ORsave_library = ACT_LIB
Call Define_Library (1)
.
.
.
Call Define_Library (save_library)
Define Nozzle
The Define Nozzle primitive places a nozzle at the current active point using the current active
orientation. Before calling this primitive, you must call Retrieve Nozzle Parameters and set
the necessary global variable assignments, such as Noz_Length1, Noz_Length2, or Noz_Radius.
Syntax
Call Define_Nozzle (noz_type, noz_num, noz_end)
Options
Noz_type
A character variable or constant defining the nozzle type. Valid values

include:
1
NOZ1
for type 1 nozzles. Consists of a basic flange.
43
No user input is required. The nozzle length is set by

the flange thickness table.
2
NOZ2
for type 2 nozzles. Consists of a flange as well as a
neck.
defined.
A = Noz_Length1
3
NOZ3
The length is user-
for type 3 nozzles. Commonly referred to as a goose

neck nozzle.
Two lengths and the bend radius are user-defined.

A = Noz_Length1
B = Noz_Length2
C = Noz_Radius
44
Noz_num
A nozzle number that uniquely identifies the nozzle within the

parametric symbol. The nozzle number must NOT be used for more
than one nozzle within a parametric symbol definition. Currently, this
number can take on a value of 1 to 20, inclusively. Therefore, a single
parametric can not have more than 20 nozzles.
Noz_end
A variable or constant with a value of 1 or 2 that defines the end of the

nozzle placed at the active point. A value of 1 specifies the end
connected to the equipment item. A value of 2 specifies the end
connected to piping.The primary axis of the active orientation is used to
orient both type 1 and type 2 nozzles. The primary and secondary axes
are used to orient type 3 nozzles.
Example
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR 'NOZ1'
tutnam = 'NOZ1'
nozend = DIMENSION_100
nozsum = 20
Call Retreive_Nozzle_Parameters (nozsum)
Call Define_Nozzle ('NOZ1', noznum, nozend)
stop
end
You must call Retrieve Nozzle Parameters before Define Nozzle.
Define Orientation By Points

The Define Orientation By Points primitive allows you to redefine the active orientation using
three known points.
Syntax
Call Define_Orientation_By_Points (PT1, PT2, PT3)
Options
pt1
The active primary direction is computed using pt1 as the start point.
Global or local point.
pt2
The active primary direction is computed using pt2 as the end point.
pt3
The active secondary direction is computed using pt3 as the end point.
The start point is the intersection between the primary vector from pt1
and its perpendicular from pt3. Global or local point.
In case one or more of these points are coincident, the active orientation is unchanged.
Example
In the following example, the call orients the active primary along the line from POINT_1 to
POINT_2, and the active secondary towards POINT_3 along a perpendicular of the primary:
Call Define_Orientation_By_Points (point [1], point [2], point [3])
45
Define Placepoint
The Define Placepoint primitive allows you to define the symbol placepoint. Every symbol
must have at least one place point.
Syntax
Call Define_Placepoint (pp, point)
Options
pp
A keyword defining the placepoint number. Valid values for pp

include:
PP1 - PP10
Up to 10 placepoints can be defined for a symbol.
point
Keyword defining the place point location. Valid values for point
include:
ACTIVE_POINT
local point variables
global point variables
pp_location_1 - pp_location_10
Example
In this example, place point number 1 is defined.
At symbol placement time, the symbol place point is aligned with the current design file active
point. The place point's primary axis is aligned with the design file active orientation primary
axis. Therefore, the symbol's local coordinate system is transformed to that defined by the
refresh tee.
Define Point
The Define Point primitive allows you to save a point or to calculate a new point based on a
reference point and a delta x, y, and z.
Syntax
Call Define_Point (point, ref_point, delta_x, delta_y, delta_z, flag)
Options
point
46
A keyword specifying the saved or calculated point storage

location. Local or global point variables are valid values.

ref_point
A keyword specifying the point to be saved or the point from

which the new point is to be calculated. Valid values for ref_point
include:
local point variable
global point variable
pp_location_1 - pp_location_10
delta_x
The delta in the x or east direction of the symbol coordinate

system from the reference point.
delta_y
The delta in the y or north direction of the symbol coordinate

system from the reference point.
delta_z
The delta in the z or up direction of the symbol coordinate system

from the reference point.
flag
[optional] If supplied, the deltas are interpreted as offsets along the

active primary, secondary, and normal respectively.
Examples
In this example, the current active point is saved in POINT_1. You can make POINT_1 the
active point again simply by calling Define Active Point.
Call Define_Point (POINT_1, ACTIVE_POINT, 0, 0, 0)
In this example, a new point is calculated from POINT_1. The result is saved in POINT_2.

Display Message
The Display Message primitive allows you to display a message in a tutorial field or
MicroStation 'ER' field.
Syntax
Call Display_Message (message, fldno)
Options
message
A variable or expression. If necessary, the message can be converted to

displayable characters for output. You can specify a message up to 50
characters in length; however, only the first 40 characters will be
displayed.
fldno
A field number on the active tutorial. Possible values are 0 - 255. If 0,

the message is displayed in the MicroStation ER field.
[optional] This argument defaults to 0 if omitted.

Tutorial fields defined (via TDF) to contain data for symbol generation should not receive
input through this call.
47
Example
dia = -10.0
.
.
.
Call Display_Message ('Cone dia is negative: ' || dia, 0 )
The actual message displayed in the 'ER' field will read:
Cone dia is negative: -10.0
Display Tutorial
The Display Tutorial primitive allows you to activate a tutorial and specify an optional tutorial
definition file name.
Syntax
Call Display_Tutorial (tutnam, tdfnam)
Options
tutnam
Name of the form (1 - 6 characters) to be activated.
tdfnam
[optional] The tutorial file name (1 - 6 characters). If omitted, the TDF

name defaults to the tutorial name itself. This argument allows you to
activate the same tutorial with different TDF names and hence different
global variables for each activation. The same TDF name can be used
with different tutorials.
Example
This call activates a tutorial named TEST.
Call Display_Tutorial ('TEST')
There is a limit of 10 forms that can be activated. It is also possible to activate the same
form several times per symbol execution. However, if a TDF name is used with several forms in
the modify mode, only the first such form will display existing data.
Interacting with Tutorials

Terminated fields allow the symbol code some control over operator interaction when a tutorial
is active. Refer to the Creating the Tutorial Definition Table section for creating these fields.
When you select a terminated application command or key-in field, the control returns to the
symbol code, which can test specific global variables identifying the field number and its type.
The global variable LAST_INP_TYPE has the type of the most recent terminated field selected.
It can be tested against the following keywords for field types:
APPLICATION_CMD
application command field
USER_KEYIN
user key-in field
The global variable LAST_INP_NUM contains the number of the last terminated field selected.
48
Example
Three possible operator actions can result in control returning to the symbol code for the
example below. The first test is against a terminated application field selection. If positive, the
data in DIMENSION [LAST_INP_NUM] is accessed and output to field 90.
The second test is for the selection of a terminated key-in field. The contents of CSTRING
[LAST_INP_NUM] is output to field 100. The receiving variable for the keyed-in text is stored
as per TDF.
The symbol waits for further operator input by calling Display Tutorial. The tutorial does not
redisplay since it is already active.
If both tests fail, you must select ACCEPT (the control variable will be set to TRUE), forcing
exit from the loop.
ACCEPTED = FALSE
do while (.not. ACCEPTED)
Call Display_Tutorial ('TEST')
if (LAST_INP_TYPE .eq. APPLICATION_CMD) then
cmd
! application
! ... field
Call Put_Field (dimension [LAST_INP_NUM], 90)

Call Put_Field (cstring [LAST_INP_NUM],100)
else
ACCEPTED = TRUE

Draw Arc
The Draw Arc primitive allows you to place an arc. An arc may be considered a continuous
segment of an ellipse whose axes are known.
Syntax
Call Draw_Arc (semimajor, semiminor, start_angle, sweep_angle)
Options
semimajor
Supplies the length of the semimajor axis and is oriented by the

local primary.
semiminor
Supplies the length of the semiminor axis and is oriented by the

local secondary.
start_angle
Specifies the start point of the arc segment. The value range is 360.0 to 360.0. Larger or smaller values are reduced to this range,
remaindering by 360.0. Positive angles are measured by rotating
the primary into the secondary counterclockwise in a righthanded system.
49

sweep_angle
Specifies the span of the arc segment. The value range is -360.0
to 360.0. Larger or smaller values are reduced to this range,
remaindering by 360.0. Rotational sense is counterclockwise,
right-handed, from start_angle.
The parent ellipse is completely known given the active primary,
secondary and the axis lengths. The two angles merely fix the
arcs angular position and not the distance of any of its points
from the foci.
Example
This call places an elliptical arc with major and minor axes of 40 and 20 units respectively. The
primary axis is rotated from a 90 degree position through a right angle to produce the arc.
Call Draw_Arc (20, 10, 90, 90)
If you are placing a non-circular arc with start or sweep angles that are NOT a multiple of
90 degrees, MicroStation computes these angles differently. To convert your angle to the input
argument, use the following formula:
tan(microstation_angle) = (semimajor/semiminor) tan(your_angle)
Draw Complex Surface

The Draw Complex Surface primitive allows you to build projected and revolved shapes one
element at a time. Familiarity with the structure of 3D MicroStation shapes is required to use
this primitive effectively.
There is a limitation on using multiple Draw Line commands for getting a complex shape
inside Draw Complex Surface to create new support symbols. You must use the line strings or
projected shape to create complex shapes.
Syntax
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (argument_1, argument_2)
The call can be made in three modes:

1. Start surface
2. Change class or symbology of elements being placed
3. End surface
Each argument has a different interpretation for each mode.
Start Surface
Used to start the surface.
Syntax
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (no_of_ele, surface_type)
Options
no_of_ele
50
The number of elements per face.

surface_type
The MicroStation surface type to build. Typical surface types

include:
0 - surface of projection
8 - surface of revolution
Change Class/Symbology
Used to change the class/symbology of elements being placed within the surface. A negative
symbol must be placed in front of the first argument.
Syntax
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (_element_class, symbology)
Options
element_class
The class of elements to be placed. Typical classes include:

primary elements (class = 0, the default)
rule elements (class = 4)
symbology
The symbology of elements to be placed.

This is an INTEGER (I*4 or 4 bytes) word. The upper word (2
bytes) is set to:
0 - allows defaults to apply
1 - apply line code only
2 - apply line weight only
4 - apply color only
Sum the above values to send in combinations. For example, (3)
code and weight to apply is the result of adding (1) apply line code
only and (2) apply line weight only. Using this process, you can
enter numbers 0-7 (default to all of the above).
The lower word supplies the symbology (line code, line weight,
color) as per MicroStation format.
Complete Surface
Used to complete the surface.
Syntax
Call Draw_Complex_Surface (-99, 0)
Example
This example shows the creation of a flat-oval projected shape. The opening Draw Complex
Surface specifies that each face is composed of 4 elements and that this is a surface of
projection.
51
The code for placing a flat-oval face is shown (2 arcs and 2 lines). The second call to Draw
Complex Surface specifies that rule lines (class=4) will be placed. The minus sign before the
class argument is needed by the system to identify ongoing calls. The final call terminates
surface construction.

split the revolved shape into two sections. Must be at least 1.
point_buffer
An array of points used to define the rotating element.

If you are rotating a shape or line string, this array supplies the
vertices of the element. If you are rotating an arc, this array
must contain three points to define the arc. The first point is
the arc origin. The second point defines the length and
direction of the primary axis as measured from the arc origin.
The third point defines the arc secondary, also relative to the
arc origin.

should be placed.
Specify a 1 if edge lines are to appear from all vertices.
Specify a 0 if edge lines are placed from the two end vertices
only.

Syntax
Call Draw_Shape (no_vertex, point_buffer)
Options
no_vertex

is placed along the active primary axis. The circular top is drawn with a radius of 6 subunits.
After placement, the active point is updated from the face by which the shape was placed to the
opposite end.
Call Draw_Transitional_Element (24, 16, 30, 6)
Get Arc Points

The Get Arc Points primitive allows you to access the data for the arc last identified in a Get
Point call. The system ignores the secondary length of the arc, assuming it to be identical to the
primary. This call is specifically geared to facilitate hand-railing placement.
Syntax
Call Get_Arc_Points (arc_definition)
Options
arc_definition
64
An output buffer of 4 points (global or local point buffer). The 4

points returned are (in order): center, one end point, an intermediate
point, and the other end point of the arc. They allow the system to
reconstruct the circular arc on arc-related calls where this definition
must be input. The call will work properly as long as the identified
arc is circular. The points are converted to the symbol (local)
coordinate system before return.
Get Arc Size

The Get Arc Size primitive returns the circumferential distance between two points on an arc.
Syntax
Call Get_Arc_Size (arc_definition, from_pt, to_pt, length)
Options
arc_definition
An input buffer of four points identifying a circular arc in local

coordinates. The subroutine uses this argument to find the angular
position or sweep of the arc segment about the center (first point).
The center of the arc is then used with the FROM_PT argument to
find trace radius.
from_pt
An input identifying the starting point of measurement. It is also used

to compute the radius of the circular arc. Global or local point.
to_pt
An input identifying the end point of measurement. This point only

establishes an ANGULAR position on the arc determined from the
first two arguments. Thus, it may or may not be on the arc itself.
length
The output variable containing the peripheral separation between

FROM_PT and TO_PT.
The result is accurate as long as both FROM_PT and TO_PT are within the sweep angle
of the arc in ARC_DEFINITION. However, if a point is off the curve, the system will route the
connection so as to include the arc's end nearer the off-point.
Example
In this example, the Get Point call forces a snap only -- to an arc. On return, the arc data is
obtained with the second call. The length of the arc is then computed by sending the third call
(the start point (point [3]), the end point (point [5]), and the arc itself).

(output) The category label for the given subcategory number.
ret_code
(output)
0 - if catno is valid
1 - if catno is invalid
Within this primitive, you can select from a displayed list of valid EQUIPMENT subcategories.
Example
In this example, the code fragment obtains all available (20) category labels.
do i = 1, 20
Call Get_EQP_Category (i, cstring [i], irc)
if (irc .ne. 0) then
cstring [i] = ' '
! blank out sub-category name
end if
end do

Get Line Size

The Get Line Size primitive returns the straight line distance between two points.
Syntax
Call Get_Line_Size (from_pt, to_pt, size)
Options
from_pt
The start point of measurement. Use global or local point.
to_pt
The endpoint of measurement. Use global or local point.
size
The output variable containing the distance. This argument is always

positive.
Example
In the following example, the code fragment computes the distance between point_1 and point_2
through the previous Get Point calls:
.
.
Call Get_Point (pt_snap, point [1])
Call Get_Point (pt_snap, point [2])
Call Get_Line_Size (point [1], point [2], distance)
.
.
Get Point
The Get Point primitive allows you to get a point from the operator in addition to an identified
element.
Syntax
Call Get_Point (pnt_types, ret_pnt, ret_pnt_type, ret_ele_type,
ele_types)
Options
pnt_types
An INT2 variable mask dictating the types of input you can select.
You can combine the following keywords to yield the INT2 result:
PT_RESET
Return by selecting RESET (no point returned).
PT_BORE
Boresight location point.
PT_SNAP
Snap point.
PT_PREC
Key-in precision point.
67

PT_EQPID
Allows you to key-in the equipment name. The system

returns its first datum point location, if it exists.
Otherwise, it returns the place point of the first item
placed for that equipment in the design file.
PT_NOZID
Allows you to key in a NOZZLE ID. The system

returns the location of its first connect point.
PT_3DB
A 2-view data button.
PT_ALL
Contains the result obtained by adding all the above

point types. Any point type can be removed from this
mask by subtraction.
When forming the mask, remember to use a keyword
only once whether adding or subtracting.
68
ret_pnt
A global or local point variable containing (on return) the operatorselected point. The design file coordinate system (global) point is
transformed to the local coordinate system by using the point and
axes of alignment between the two systems. Therefore, the
orientation and location of the symbol placepoint must be established
prior to this call. Also, the alignment parameters (placepoint location,
orientation, global active point, global active orientation) must not be
changed between Get Point calls. This can result in returned points
not maintaining proper relativity. Use global or local point buffer.
ret_pnt_type
An INT2 output variable that contains the type of the returned point.
This variable can be tested against the above keywords. It is optional
only if subsequent arguments are omitted.
ret_ele_type
An INT2 output variable that contains the coded TYPE of the

MicroStation element identified by a SNAP (see the PDS Equipment
Modeling (PD_EQP) Reference Guide). It is optional only if
subsequent arguments are omitted. It can be tested against these
keywords to identify the type code:
EL_LINE
line element
EL_LINESTR
line string
EL_SHAPE
shape
EL_ELLIPSE
ellipse
EL_ARC
arc
EL_PTSTR
point string
EL_CONE
cone

ele_types
An INT2 mask obtained by combining (adding) a number of element

type codes just listed. It dictates the types the operator can possibly
identify. This variable is optional. If left off, all element types are
allowed.
EL_ALL contains the combination of all the above type codes. One
or more types can be removed from the mask by subtraction.
When forming the mask, remember to use a keyword only once
whether adding or subtracting.
Example
The following code segment enables the symbol to obtain an arc or a line from the operator
using snap or precision key-in:
int2 retpttype, reteletype
.
.
Call Display_Message ('Identify arc or line')
Call Get_Point (pt_snap+pt_prec, point [101], retpttype,
reteletype, el_arc+el_line)
if (retpttype .eq. pt_snap) then
! is it a snap point?
if (reteletype .eq. EL_ARC) then
! an arc was snapped to
.
.
else
! it must be EL_LINE
.
.
endif
else
! it must be precision
.
.
endif
Move Along Arc

The Move Along Arc primitive returns a destination point (after traversing a specified distance
along a given arc) from a given point.
Syntax
Call Move_Along_Arc (arc_definition, from_pt, to_pt, travel dist,
out_pt)
Options
arc_definition
An input buffer of four points identifying a circular arc in local

coordinates. The subroutine uses it to find the angular position or
sweep of the arc segment about the center (first point). The center
of the arc and the from_pt are used to find the trace radius.
from_pt
An input to identify the measuring start point. It is also used to

compute the radius of the circular arc. Global or local point.
69

to_pt
An input to identify the measuring end point. This point only

establishes an angular position on the arc determined from the first
two arguments. Therefore, it may or may not be on the arc itself.
travel_dist
An input to specify the peripheral traversal distance from from_pt

to to_pt.
out_pt
An output location containing the destination point. The direction

of travel if either from_pt or to_pt is off. The curve is given by the
connecting segment from from_pt to to_pt through the arcs end
nearer the off-point.
Example
In the following example, the Get Point call forces the operator to snap only -- to an arc. On
return, the arc definition is obtained in point_2 ... point_5. The length of the arc is then
computed by sending the third call the center (point [2]), start (point [3]), the end (point [5]), and
the arc itself. Finally, the middle point (point [10]) on the arc is calculated by moving along the
arc from start (point [3]) toward the end (point [5]). The distance traveled is one-half the arc's
size.
int2 ret_pt_type, ret_ele_type
.
.
Call Get_Point (pt_snap, point [1], ret_pt_type, ret_ele_type, el_arc)
Call Get_Arc_Point (point [2])
Call Get_Arc_Size (point [2], point [3], point [5], length)
Call Move_Along_Arc (point [2 ], point [3], point [5], length/2, point
[10])
! find the middle
Move Along Axis

The Move Along Axis primitive is similar to the Move By Distance primitive except that Move
Along Axis allows you to move the active point a specified distance along any specified axis of
Syntax
Call Move_Along_Axis (distance, axis)
Options
70
distance
Variable or constant that defines the distance by which the active point
should be moved.
axis
Keyword defining the axis along which the active point should be moved.
Valid values for axis include:
PRIMARY
NORTH
SECONDARY
SOUTH
NORMAL
UP

EAST
DOWN
WEST
Example
In this example, the active point is moved 24 subunits in the east direction.
Call Define_Active_Orientation (NORTH, EAST)
Call Move_Along_Axis (24., SECONDARY)
71
Move Along Line

The Move Along Line primitive returns a destination point given the direction of travel, a
starting point, and a distance of travel.
Syntax
Call Move_Along_Line (from_line_end, to_line_end, from_pt, distance,
to_pt)
Options
from_line_end
The starting input point for computing the direction of travel. Global
or local point.
to_line_end
The ending input point for computing direction of travel. Global or

local point.
FROM_LINE_END and TO_LINE_END merely determine the direction and not

the actual path of travel.
from_pt
The input point from which the travel begins. Global or local point
buffer.
distance
The input variable containing the distance of travel.
to_pt
The output location variable containing the destination point. Use

global or local point buffer.
Example
In the following example, the code fragment finds the midpoint of the line segment obtained
with two Get Point calls.
.
.
Call Get_Point (pt_snap, point
Call Get_Point (pt_snap, point
Call Get_Line_Size (point [1],
distance = distance/2
Call Move_Along_Line (point_1,
point[3])
.
.
72
[1])
[2])
point [2], distance)
point [2], point [1], distance,
Move By Distance
The Move By Distance primitive allows you to move the active point along the primary axis of
Syntax
Call Move_By_Distance (distance)
Options
distance
Variable or constant that dictates how far along the primary the active
point should be moved. Negative values can be used.
Examples
In the following example, the active point is moved 24 subunits in the up direction:
Call Define_Active_Orientation (UP, WEST)
Call Move_By_Distance (24.)
In this example, the active point is moved by the distance defined by the variable
dimension_a.
Call Move_By_Distance (dimension_a)
Move Data
The Move Data primitive writes contents of a variable or expression into another variable.
Syntax
Call Move_Data (source_item, destination_item)
Options
source_item
A variable or expression from which data will be moved without

conversion.
destination_item
Variable into which data will be moved. Length of data moved

is length of the shorter item. If destination_item is a character
variable, each source_item byte must be ASCII (32 or more)
before it is transferred. Otherwise, characters up to but excluding
the first non-ASCII byte make up the destination_item.
This routine is mainly useful for the Read Table primitive where INPUT/OUTPUT contains
CHARACTER fields. The following code segment shows how to access such data:
73

input_1 = 20
Call Move_Data ('col3_key', INPUT_2)
field
Call Read_Table ('TABLE_SO_AND_SO', INPUT, OUTPUT
Call Move_Data (OUTPUT_4, CSTRING_1)
table is
! INPUT_2 is ASCII
! Read table
! output_4 from
! ... ASCII. Move
it into
! ... global ASCII
! ... variable
CSTRING_1
Move To Placepoint
The Move To Placepoint primitive allows you to restore both the active point and orientation to
that of a previously defined place point.
Syntax
Call Move_To_Placepoint (pp)
Options
pp
A keyword specifying the previously defined place point. Valid values

include:
PP1 - PP10
Example
In this example, place point 2 is defined with an orientation of primary pointing east and
secondary pointing north. The call Move To Placepoint sets the active point at the location of
placepoint 2 and restores the active orientation to east and north.
Call Define_Active_Orientation (EAST, NORTH)
.
.
.
Place COG
The Place COG primitive allows you to place the center of gravity (COG) for a piece of
equipment. There can be at most two centers of gravity per piece of equipment, each designated
by a different keyword. The call is ignored if no datum points are being placed for the piece of
equipment since the location of the COG is relative to the first datum point. Define Datum
Point for dp1 must be executed before or after this call. Graphics are not created for COGs.
Only numeric offsets are stored with the datum point to indicate the location.
Syntax
Call Place_Cog (cog_type, offset_x, offset_y, offset_z)
74
Options
cog_type
Keyword specifying the type of center of gravity you want to place. If a

cog type already exists, it is replaced with the new definition. The
following keywords are accepted:
DRY
OPERATING_1
OPERATING_2
LIFTING
offset_x
Distance specifying the easting of the COG in the local coordinate

system of the first datum point.
offset_y
Distance specifying the northing of the COG in the local coordinate

offset_z
Distance specifying the elevation of the COG in the local coordinate

Example
In the following example, the code locates the dry cog for the equipment with easting, northing,
and elevation at 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 units from pnt[1] in the coordinate system of datum point 1:
location pnt[6]
pnt [1] = 1
pnt [2] = 2
pnt [3] = 3
Call Define_Datum_Point (dp [1], pnt [1])
Call Place_Cog (DRY, 10.0, 20.0, 30.0)
Since the location and orientation of the first datum point is known, we see that in symbol local
coordinates, the COG is at:
10.0 - 1 = 9.0
WESTING
20.0 + 2 = 22.0
NORTHING
30.0 - 3 =27.0
DOWN
Position Cursor
The Position Cursor primitive allows you to position the cursor at an input field on the active
symbol tutorial.
Syntax
Call Position_Cursor (fieldno)
Options
fieldno
A key-in field number on the active tutorial.
75
Put Field
The Put Field primitive allows you to display a value in a tutorial field. It works similarly to
default expressions. After the value is evaluated, it must correspond to the numeric/character
data type defined for the field.
Syntax
Call Put_Field (value, fldno, ret_code)
Options
value
A variable or expression that evaluates to the value to be input to the

field. Character fields must receive character data, and numeric fields
must receive numeric data. No data conversion between the two types is
performed, and such type mismatch causes errors.
fldno
A field number on the active tutorial. Possible values are 1 - 200 (since
only these fields are defined via TDF). Default computations are also
performed if necessary as a result of fldno being defined.
ret_code
[optional] A numeric variable to receive completion status of the call. If

successful, a 0 is returned. Expect negative values if the call completes
unsuccessfully. Such abnormal return may be possible due to:
Nonexistent field numbers.
Incompatible type conversion.
No tutorial being active.
Errors in computing defaults will be acknowledged only through
system messages in the ER field.
By omitting it, you can ensure that the symbol execution is aborted if
the call fails to successfully complete. In the case of computing
defaults, the call successfully returns.
Example
In the following example, the call puts out 10 in field #2 of the active tutorial. If
DIMENSION_2 corresponds to field #2, it also receives a value of 10.0.
Call Put_Field (10, 2)
76
Read Table
The Read Table primitive allows you to read values from a table for use in your symbol
definition. This process is called a table lookup.
Refer to Reference Data Manager (PD_DATA) Reference Guide for information on the valid
naming formats for tables and the valid units that can be used in tables.
Syntax
Call Read_Table (table_name, INPUT, OUTPUT, return_code)
Options
table_name
Name of the table to be read. This argument can be a string variable

or constant.
INPUT
The global variable name INPUT. Table input parameters must be

defined prior to calling Read Table. The number and type of
values needed in INPUT_1...INPUT_10 array depends on the
number and type of input columns defined for the table. An
INPUT_X parameter may be a number or a character string up to
eight characters. Assigning numerical data to INPUT elements is
not a problem. Character data, however, must be treated differently
since INPUT is a REAL array. Characters cannot be assigned to its
variables. You must use the Move Data primitive. Refer to the
Move_Data primitive for sample usage.
OUTPUT
Global variable name OUTPUT. The table values read are stored in
OUTPUT. You must know the table structure in order to know
where each output from the table is stored. An OUTPUT_X field
can be numeric or alphanumeric (up to eight characters) depending
on the table structure. Refer to the Move Data primitive for
accessing character data once it is retrieved in an OUTPUT_X
variable.
return_code
[optional] The output argument allowing symbol execution to

continue if the call fails to read a table. If supplied, the values
returned include:
0 - table read successfully
3 - table not in table library / library not attached
6 - invalid inputs for table look-up.
Examples
In this example, a table is read obtaining a flange diameter and thickness. The table name is
derived from character constants, the flange generic end prep, and the flange pressure rating.
The table input is the flange nominal pipe size. The flange diameter is taken from global
variable OUTPUT_1, while the flange thickness is taken from global variable OUTPUT_2.
INPUT_1 = Nom_Pipe_D
table = 'BLT' // GEN_TYPE // PR_RATING // '5'
Call Read_Table (table, INPUT, OUTPUT)
77

flange_diam = OUTPUT_1
flange_thk = OUTPUT_2
In this example, a table is read obtaining the outside diameter of a pipe given the nominal
pipe diameter.
INPUT_1 = Nom_Pipe_D
Call Read_Table ('MAL_300_5', INPUT, OUTPUT)
pipe_od = OUTPUT_3
Retrieve Nozzle Parameters

The Retrieve Nozzle Parameters primitive allows you to make all parameters for a specified
nozzle the active parameters.
Syntax
Call Retrieve_Nozzle_Parameters (noznum)
Options
noznum
The number that identifies the nozzle whose parameters are to be

made active.
After a call to Retrieve Nozzle Parameters, the following global variables are defined with
values for the nozzle identified by noznum:
END_PREP - the nozzle's end preparation
PR_RATING - the nozzle's pressure rating
NOM_PIPE_D - the nozzle's nominal pipe size
NOZ_LENGTH1 - the nozzle's length (for type 2 and 3 only)
NOZ_LENGTH2 - the nozzle's 2nd length (for type 3 only)
NOZ_RADIUS - the nozzle's bend radius (for type 3 only)
GEN_TYPE - the nozzle's generic end prep
TERM_TYPE - the nozzle's termination type
TABLE_SUFFIX - the current nozzle table suffix
STD_TYPE - the current nozzle standard type
The method by which you can set these variables for each nozzle is discussed in the User
Interface section. Once set, they can be activated in the symbol by calling Retrieve Nozzle
Parameters.
Examples
In this example, the nozzle parameters for nozzle number 3 are activated. Nozzle number 3
is then placed.
Call Retrieve_Nozzle_Parameters (3)
Call Define_Nozzle ('NOZ2', 3, 1)
In this example, any value you put in the global variable NOZ_LENGTH1 is overridden by
the symbol. In this case, the nozzle projection or length is set to the vessel diameter plus 10
subunits.
NOZ_LENGTH1 = vessel_dia + 10.
Call Define_Nozzle ('NOZ2', 5, 1)
78

Only NOZ_LENGTH1, NOZ_LENGTH2, NOZ_RADIUS, and TABLE_SUFFIX can
be calculated as in this example. All other nozzle parameters must be specified by input
fields on a tutorial. NOZ_LENGTH1, NOZ_LENGTH2, NOZ_RADIUS, and
TABLE_SUFFIX must be set after the call to Retrieve_Nozzle_Parameters.
If one of these values is set before the call, it will be lost when the call is made.
Rotate Orientation
The Rotate Orientation primitive allows you to rotate the active local orientation relative to
itself. The coordinate system is rotated about the designated axial direction through the specified
angle according to the right-hand rule. When you call this primitive, you change the local
symbol orientation without affecting the design file coordinate system.
Syntax
Call Rotate_Orientation (angle, axis)
Options
angle
Variable or constant that dictates the amount of rotation.
axis
Keyword that defines the local axial direction about which to rotate.
PRIMARY
NORTH
SECONDARY
SOUTH
NORMAL
UP
EAST
DOWN
WEST
Example
After the last statement is executed, the new primary is oriented down.
Call Define_Active_Orientation (EAST, NORTH)
.
.
.
.
Call Rotate_Orientation (90, SECONDARY)
79
Start Complex Shape

The Start Complex Shape primitive informs the system that linear elements (line, linestring,
arc) to be placed subsequently are to be accumulated by the system and grouped as a complex
shape. The elements must maintain a continuous flowline when they are sequentially traced
through their vertices or end points. (This is a requirement for MicroStation complex shape
elements.) The 0 only supplies a nonempty argument list.
Syntax
Call Start_Complex_Shape (0)
Example
call START_COMPLEX_SHAPE (0)
Call Define_Active_Orientation (NORTH,EAST)
call draw_line (point [1], point [2])
call rotate_orientation (end_angle, normal)
call rotate_orientation (start_angle, normal)
call draw_arc (inner_dia, inner_dia, 0.0, angle_sweep)!
call STOP_COMPLEX_SHAPE (0)
Call Stop_Complex_Shape must be called to notify the system that the last element in the
complex shape has been defined.
One complex shape can remain in effect for each BEGIN call category, and the system keeps
track of all such complex shapes. A default Stop Complex Shape is executed by the system
following the element placed last inside a BEGIN category. Any number of complex shapes
can be created in a category with pairwise start/stop calls.
Stop Complex Shape

The Stop Complex Shape primitive informs the system that the complex shape under progress
is complete.
One complex shape can remain in effect for each BEGIN call category, and the system
keeps track of all such complex shapes. A default Stop Complex Shape is executed by the
system following the element placed last inside a BEGIN category. Any number of complex
shapes can be created in a category with pairwise start/stop calls.
Syntax
Call Stop_Complex_Shape (0)
Example
call START_COMPLEX_SHAPE (0)
80

call rotate_orientation (end_angle, normal)
call rotate_orientation (start_angle, normal)
call draw_arc (inner_dia, inner_dia, 0.0, angle_sweep)!
call STOP_COMPLEX_SHAPE (0)
Store Orientation
The Store Orientation primitive allows you to store and recall orientations.
Syntax
Call Store_Orientation (save_retrieve_flag, orientation_no)
Options
save_retrieve_flag
The value indicating whether active orientation is:

being stored (=2)
recalled (=1)
orientation_no
The orientation location number. Valid values include:

1- 10
local orientation location (known to the current

symbol or user function only).
11- 20
global orientation location (known to all main

symbol and user function calls).
Example
In this example, the call saves the active orientation into local orientation buffer 8. Later, the
active orientation can be restored to its original value:
Call Store_Orientation (2, 8)
.
.
.
Call Store_Orientation (1, 8)
81
Store Nozzle Parameters

The Store Nozzle Parameters primitive allows you to make the active nozzle parameters the
parameters for a specified nozzle. Before using this primitive, call the Define_Nozzle primitive
to allow you to make modifications at a later time.
Syntax
Call Store_Nozzle_Parameters (NOZNUM)
Options
noznum
The number that identifies the nozzle whose parameters are to be initialized
from the active parameters.
Example
In the following example, the code allows you to modify the NOZ_LENGTH1 of nozzle number
3. (Refer to the Retrieve_Nozzle_Parameters primitive for more information on nozzle global
variables affected by this primitive.)
NOZ_LENGTH1=NOZ_LENGTH/2.0
Call Store_Nozzle_Parameters (3)
User Function
The User Function primitive allows you to call another Eden module compiled as a user
function.
The User Function module is similar to a SYMBOL_PROCESSOR module, except the first
statement reads: User_Function_Definition 'MODULE-NAME' where 'module-name' is a
character string (1 to 20 characters) identifying the module being compiled.
The User_Function call causes the system to retrieve and execute the module from the Eden
library. Please note the following conventions:
1. The set of local variables in the calling module is completely separate from that in the called
module. Variables named the same between two modules do not share data or conflict with
one another.
2. Data sharing can be done through the global variables as they are used in common.
3. Calls can be nested to any depth with a user function calling itself or other user functions.
Syntax
Call User_Function (module-name, argument1, argument2,....argument9)
Options
module_name
82
The name of user function to execute.

argument1 .. argument9
The numeric values to pass to the called user function.

These are optional arguments and can be omitted from the
right end. Values are passed via global variables INPUT_11
through INPUT_19. These are loaded from the optional
arguments. Unused variables are zeroed out. INPUT_20
contains the number of optional arguments supplied.
OUTPUT_11 through OUTPUT_20 are zeroed out when a

user function is called. They can also be used to pass results.
The modules are delivered with the Eden Interface allowing you to build certain common
shapes not directly supported by any Eden primitive. These functions make use of the Draw
Complex Surface primitive to create solid shapes by placing arcs and line strings individually.
You can call these user functions much like any other Eden primitive by including arguments in
the User_Function statement. You can obtain the source file name for a particular user function
by adding the extension .UF to the function name.
User Function FLAT_OVAL_PRISM

The FLAT_OVAL_PRISM user function allows you to place a flat oval prism with faces
parallel but offset from each other along both the secondary and normal axes.
It is placed by a point in the middle of the first face. The active primary axis orients the direction
of projection and the normal of both faces. The active secondary axis orients the flat sides of the
faces.

The user function FLAT_OVAL_TOR allows you to place a flat oval torus.
It is placed by a point in the middle of the starting face. The active primary axis is the normal of
the starting face. The active secondary axis points to the center of rotation, and the active
normal axis is the axis of rotation.
Syntax

axis parallel to the curved sides, this is 0 degrees.)
update_flg
0:
Dont update active point and orientation upon exit

(default).
1:
Update active point and orientation to the opposite face

upon exit.
User Function FLAT_OVAL_SEG_TOR1

The FLAT_OVAL_SEG_TOR1 user function allows you to place a segmented flat oval torus.
It is placed by a point in the middle of the starting face. The active primary axis orients the
direction of projection of the first segment and is normal to the first face of the first segment.
The active secondary axis points to the center of rotation. Rotation occurs around the flat sides
using the active normal as the axis of rotation.
Syntax

upon exit.

The FLAT_OVAL_SEG_TOR2 user function allows you to place a segmented flat oval torus.
The active secondary points to the center of rotation. Rotation occurs around the curved sides
using the active normal as the axis of rotation.
Syntax
Call User_Function ('FLAT_OVAL_SEG_TOR2', bend_radius, seg_angle,

User Function ROUND_SEG_TOR1

The user function ROUND_SEG_TOR1 allows you to place a segmented round torus.
The active secondary points towards the center of rotation, and the active normal defines the axis
of rotation. Cylinders are used to represent the segments.

HLINE in certain views may not work cleanly around the junction of segments placed
with this user function. User function ROUND_SEG_TOR2, however, works correctly with
HLINE even though it is more expensive in terms of design file space.
87
User Function ROUND_SEG_TOR2

The user function ROUND_SEG_TOR2 allows you to place a segmented round torus.
The active secondary points towards the center of rotation, and the active normal defines the axis

SECTION 3
Creating a New Equipment Component

Setup for Equipment
Before a new equipment component can be defined through Eden, the following items must be
performed:
1. Log in to the server where the PDS project resides.
2. Create a directory for the equipment symbol definition files, for example:
c:\projects\custom\eqpsym
3. Create a directory for the tutorial definition files (TDF), for example:
c:\projects\custom\tdf
4. Create a directory for the graphic libraries, for example:

c:\projects\custom\libs
5. Copy the standard delivered equipment libraries into the created library directory, for
example:
copy c:\win32app\ingr\pdeqp\*.l* c:\projects\proj1\libs\.
6. Access the Reference Database Defaults form, and define the node name and path to the
directories previously defined.
Start the PD_Shell main form.

Extracting Sample Modules

When defining a new component, the first step is to have a sketch of the graphic symbol that will
be used to represent that component. Since the equipment modeling software has various items
from basic shapes to complex components available for placement, the Eden modules for
existing equipment can be extracted and used as models to define new components.
To extract the Eden modules for existing equipment, the item's symbol processor name has to be
known. To retrieve the symbol processor name (also referred to as the component's Eden
number), follow these steps:
1. Turn to Appendix E, Parametrics of this document.
2. Find the equipment parametric that would require the least number of modifications to make
it appear as the graphics that will represent the new item.
3. The Eden number appears listed between parenthesis next to the equipment parametric title
(for example, through Ladder A (A021)).
Once the Eden number is known, you can extract the symbol processor for the existing item.
To extract the Eden module for the symbol processor, follow these steps:
4. Select the Equipment Modeling option from the main PDS form.
5. Select the Graphic Library Manager option.
6. Select the Eden Data Management option.
7. Select the Extract option.
8. Identify the symbol processor from the form, and select Confirm ().
The system places the extracted modules in the symbols directory, eqpsym (or equivalent),
previously created during setup.
To create a new component's Tutorial Definition File (TDF), turn to the example in this
document's first chapter or extract a sample TDF by following these steps:
3. Select the Tutorial Definition Data Management option.
4. Select the Extract option.
5. Identify the TDF from the form, and select Confirm ().
The system places the extracted tables in the tdf directory created during setup.
96
Editing Modules
After the Eden modules and TDF tables for existing components have been extracted, they can
be used as models or modified as needed to make them generate a new component.
It is recommended that the TDF and the form be created concurrently so that the symbol
processor can be written to match the TDF and the form. Refer to the end of this chapter for
information about form creation. To write user input into the database tables of equipment, the
TDF table should include an entry for each attribute. Refer to the Equipment Eden Basics
chapter to review the details about the TDF file.
Compiling New Modules

To compile newly created Eden modules they should be loaded to the existing graphic
commodity library. New modules are compiled as they are loaded. If everything is correct in
the code and compilation is completed, the new modules are incorporated into the graphic
commodity library.
Follow these steps to load and compile new Eden modules:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Select the Equipment Modeling option from the main PDS form.
Select the Graphic Library Manager option.
Select the Eden Data Management option.
Select the Add/Replace option.
Identify the symbol processor's file name from the form. (For the system to be able to
display new modules, their file name should have the .eqp extension.)
6. Select the Add/Replace Selected Files option.
The system compiles and loads the new Eden module.
7. If compilation errors occur, take note of the error messages, fix the symbol processor's file,
and then repeat the preceding steps.
To load a new component's Tutorial Definition File (TDF), follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Select the Tutorial Definition Data Management option.
Select the Add/Replace option.
Identify the TDF from the form. (For the system to be able to display new TDF files, their
file name should have the .tdf extension.)
6. Select the Add/Replace Selected Files option.
The system loads the new TDF.
97
Revising Modules
After the Eden modules of a new component have been defined, place the new component in the
equipment modeling environment to verify that it places correctly. Should the component not
place correctly, follow these steps to revise the incorrect Eden module:
3. Select the Eden Data Management option
4. Select the Revise option.
5. Identify the symbol processor's file name from the form.
6. Select the Revise Selected File option.
The system brings the file up on the screen.
7. Proceed to make the needed changes. Then save the file, and exit the editor.
8. Use the Add/Replace option to reload and compile the file just edited.
9. Return to the equipment modeling environment, and test placing the new component.
To revise a new component's Tutorial Definition File (TDF), follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Select the Tutorial Definition Data Management option.
Select the Revise option.
Identify the TDF from the form, and select Confirm ().
The system displays the file.
6. Make the needed changes. Then save the file, and exit the editor.
7. Return to the equipment modeling environment, and test placing the new component.
Basic Use of Forms

The DBACCESS product is used to create the forms needed to interact with the operator. When
a new equipment item is defined through Eden some form customization may be required to
make the new item accessible to the users.
The fastest way to generate a new form or add a new option within an existing form is to copy
and edit a standard delivered form. The following general procedure can serve as a guideline
when creating a form that is to be linked to a new equipment item. Refer to the DBACCESS
documentation for detailed information on using this product.
1. Create a working directory for modifying forms. This should be done on a workstation that
has PDS loaded, or that has access to the server where PDS products are loaded
For example, c:\name\forms
2. Copy a form used to place an existing component to the new forms directory. (Notice that
the name of the form is the same as the component's Eden number plus the .fb extension.)
copy c:\win32app\ingr\pdeqp\forms\A001
98
forms\.

3. From the forms directory, access the DBACCESS interface.
If you are familiar with the procedures used in piping and equipment modeling for
identifying, accepting, and rejecting a selection using the mouse, you will find it easy to
follow the prompts provided for each of the DBACCESS commands.
Input Fields
Input fields can be used to collect several types of input:
Dimensional input
Angular input
Integer input
Nozzle dimensions
Nozzle database attributes
Equipment database attributes
Character data input.
The system assigns a unique field number to each input field. The tutorial definition table relays
to the Equipment Modeling product what input type corresponds to a particular field number.
System-Defined Field Numbers

Field numbers 201 through 256 are reserved for system use. At present, nine of these reserved
numbers have been defined:
201
Collects the place point by which a parametric is to be placed. If a

field numbered 201 is placed on a tutorial, you can key in the place
point number.
202 203 204
Collect and display the current active point. If fields with these
numbers are placed on the tutorial, when the tutorial is activated,
the active point (x, y, and z respectively) is displayed. You can also
key in a new value for the active point into these fields. When a
new active point is established by any other means, this display is
automatically updated.
205 206 207
Collect the delta (x, y, and z respectively) from the current active
point.
208
Defines the angle from site north to equipment 0 degrees.

For vertical equipment, the angle between site north and
equipment 0 degrees is measured with respect to the secondary
axis of the orientation tee. The primary axis of the orientation
tee always points up.
For horizontal equipment, the angle between site north and
equipment 0 degrees is measured with respect to the primary
axis of the orientation tee. The secondary axis of the
orientation tee always points up.
99

209
Defines the slope in terms of subunits per master unit of travel. The
orientation tee is sloped from the horizontal with regard to sign.
(An input of :6 in an English file would be interpreted as 6 inches
per foot of travel and displayed in the tutorial as 6 in/ft.)
System-defined fields must be present in the tutorial definition table when they are present in a
tutorial. You need only input the field number for these entries. All other columns in the table
can be left blank or null. For example:
Example
201, , , , , '', ''
or
201,0,0,0,0,'',''
Application Commands
Equipment tutorials can contain application commands as well as input fields. The two most
important application commands that appear on every tutorial are ACCEPT and EXIT.
ACCEPT
Allows you to accept the data you keyed into the tutorial.
EXIT
Allows you to exit a tutorial with or without saving any modifications.
There are two types of application commands: user-defined and system-defined. System-defined
application command numbers are predefined. User-defined application command numbers are
calculated.
User-Defined Application Commands

User-defined application command numbers are used only for moving the keyboard cursor to a
specific input field. This is accomplished by using an application command number of 3000
plus the number of the input field. For example, the application command number needed to
move the cursor to field 5 on the form would be 3005.
A user-defined application command is usually placed physically on top of the input field to
which it applies. Thus, if you want to move the cursor to a specific input field, you need only
select that field with a <D>, and the cursor will move to that particular field. You can also select
the field from the sketch on the form. There is no restriction on using a given application
command number in more than one place on the form. It is possible to have one command on
top of the input field and another located in some other area on the form.
100
System-Defined Application Commands

The system-defined application command numbers are outlined as follows:

Equipment Modeling command menu. They are provided here strictly for convenience. The
commands on the menu are still active when a form is active.
101

4051 to 4999
Application commands in this range have been set aside for terminated
application command fields. If you select such a box with the data
button, control returns to the symbol, which then decides how to handle
the input. The information needed for the symbol as to the type and
number of last input is saved by the system in global variables before
return takes place. Refer to the DISPLAY_TUTORIAL primitive for
more information.
Additional Features of the Form Interface

While a symbol placement form is active you can adjust the active point by:
Snapping to an existing graphic.
Selecting a Precision Point command.
Boresite locating a key point.
or you can adjust the active orientation by:
Boresite locating a key point.
Pressing <R> to rotate the active axis by 90 degrees.
Selecting a Refresh Manipulation command.
All MicroStation 32 and PDS commands that manipulate views can be selected. However,
before continuing with form selections after view manipulations, you must first press <R> to exit
the view command. Refer to the PDS Equipment Modeling (PD_EQP) Reference Guide for
more information on placing equipment.
102
SECTION 4
Defining Symbols
The previous sections explained the tools that you need to completely define an equipment
symbol. This section outlines the basic steps you need to follow using these tools to prepare a
complete symbol definition. The definition of a simple horizontal drum will be developed to
illustrate the concepts.
Basic Steps:
1. Determine what the component will look like and what primitive graphics elements you
want to use to create it. For example, you want to define a drum that is composed of a
cylinder, 2 semi-elliptical heads, and 2 projected rectangles to represent the saddle type
supports.
2. Determine what dimensional inputs should be required for placing a symbol based on
availability. A symbol cannot be efficiently placed if, in order to provide inputs for a
symbol, you perform hand calculations based on numbers from drawings.
For the horizontal drum, you need the drum diameter, the tan-tan length of the drum, the
support locations relative to a tangent line, and the support projection and thickness.
Assume that the drum heads are 2:1 semi-elliptical and that the support width is .866 of the
drum diameter.
3. Determine where place points are needed for the symbol and reasonable orientations for
them. Again, consider the documents the symbol user is working from. Place points should
be located on the equipment in places that can be located on a drawing that orients the
equipment on the plot.
On the drum, one reasonable place point location is at one of the tangent lines on the
centerline. The place point orientation should be pointing inside the drum so that when the
symbol is placed, the refresh tee primary will indicate the direction the symbol will be
placed. In addition, the place point secondary axis should be oriented in the down direction
so that the refresh tee secondary can be used to orient the supports.
Another reasonable place point location on the drum is at the bottom center of one of the
supports. At this place point, the primary points into the support, and the secondary orients
the direction that the drum will be placed by pointing it at the other support.
4. Assign global variables to the input. This step allows design of the tutorial for the symbol.
Variables should be assigned as follows:
DIMENSION_1 - drum tan-tan length
DIMENSION_2 - drum diameter
DIMENSION_3 - tangent line to center of first support
DIMENSION_4 - center of first support to center of second support
DIMENSION 5 - support projection from drum centerline
DIMENSION 6 - thickness of support saddle
5. Develop the symbol code.
For the drum, the following code is needed:
103
Defining Symbols
SYMBOL_PROCESSOR HDRUM
tutnam = HDRUM
call DISPLAY_TUTORIAL (tutnam)
tantan= DIMENSION_1
diameter = DIMENSION_2
support_1 = DIMENSION_3

call DRAW_SEMI_ELLIPSOID (diameter, dish_depth)
call MOVE_TO_PLACEPOINT (PP1)
call MOVE_BY_DISTANCE (support_1)

call DEFINE_PLACEPOINT (PP2)
call DEFINE_ACTIVE_POINT (POINT_1)
call DEFINE_ACTIVE_ORIENTATION (EAST, DOWN)
call MOVE_BY_DISTANCE (support_2)
call DEFINE_ACTIVE_ORIENTATION (DOWN, SOUTH)
call DRAW_PROJ_RECTANGLE (supp_wdth, supp_thk, supp_proj)
STOP
END
Explanation:
In the above example, the SYMBOL_PROCESSOR statement and the STOP and END
statements of the symbol definition are required.
The drum's orientation along the east-west axis of the symbol coordinate system is arbitrary.
It can just as easily be oriented along the north-south axis.
Building the drum is similar to building the same piece of equipment using primitives in
graphics. First, locate the active point. Then set the active orientation. Finally, place the
primitive. Movement of the refresh tee after placement of the primitive is analogous to
movement of the active point after placement of graphics in the Eden definition.
6. Compile the symbol.
7. Create the form.
8. Create the tutorial definition table.
For the drum, the following table might be used:
104
1,

2,
' ',
'LENGTH'

9. Insert the tutorial definition table into the tutorial definition library.
10. Test and debug the symbol. Three tutorials, provided and serviced by the system, can be of
use during debugging.
DEBUG1
You can display this tutorial several times in a single symbol
allowing you to monitor variables DIMENSION_1 through
DIMENSION_100 while a symbol is executing. This tutorial
will also allow you to change values that are assigned to these
variables.
DEBUG2
Allows you to monitor and change all of the variables

associated with nozzles. You can also display this tutorial
several times.
DEBUG3
Allows you to monitor the active point, active orientation, and

all of the point buffers.
11. To activate the debug tutorials, place the following call in your symbol definition:
Call DISPLAY_TUTORIAL ('DEBUGn')
where n = 1, 2, or 3.
12. If you want to debug the symbol interactively, call up the symbolic Eden Debugger when the
symbol executes.
105
Defining Symbols
106
SECTION 5
Eden Debugger
Debugging Eden symbols can be time-consuming depending on the length and complexity of the
symbol. Sometimes it is necessary to study symbol execution source line by source line to track
down a bug. This can involve examining the contents of critical variables undergoing
modification.
One way of locating a bug is by inserting temporary tracer calls in the DISPLAY_MESSAGE
primitives. This allows you to display a variable and the location of the diagnostic. However,
this method of debugging is disruptive, time-consuming, and can introduce more bugs into your
symbol code.
The Eden Debugger is part of the current Equipment Modeling software and can assist you in
testing symbols efficiently and thoroughly. When using the Debugger, you can step through the
symbol as it executes, examine or modify variables directly, and choose the source line number
to execute next. All this can be done without modifying your original source code.
Invoking the Debugger

You can activate the Debugger in the Start, Add, Modify, or Modify & Copy commands at the
symbol name prompt or any time the symbol tutorial is active. To activate the Debugger, key in:
ON DEBUG
If you key in ON DEBUG at the symbol name prompt and after a symbol name is accepted, the
Debugger displays the source of the module and then prompts for the next input.
If you key in ON DEBUG when the tutorial is active, the Debugger takes control after you return
from the tutorial to the symbol. An arrow positioned by a source line indicates which line is to
be executed next.
When the symbol form is active, you must key in the command from the MicroStation
key-in field and not from a tutorial field.
Exiting the Debugger

You can use the key-in OF DEBUG (off debug) to stop the debugger. This must be keyed in in
the MicroStation Command Window.
107
Eden Debugger
Concurrent Display
Graphics resulting from symbol execution are not visible until you execute a Return/Stop/End
statement. During debugging, it is sometimes useful to relate each DRAW call to the resulting
graphics. For this reason, the concurrent display feature is provided. To display the graphics at
the time of the CALL to a DRAW or PLACE routine, turn ON both the DEBUG and DISP
mode.
You can place the displayed graphics in the design file by keying in OF DISP just before the
symbol code returns and the Eden buffer processing begins.
Debugger Commands
The Debugger is not case sensitive except for the Call Tutorial command. Embedded blanks are
compressed out from any input line before the line is interpreted. The Debugger currently
supports the following functions:
Set Line Break (B)
Call Tutorial (C)
Deposit into Local Variable (DL)
Deposit into Global Variable (DG)
Examine Local Variables (EL)
Examine Global Variables (EG)
Examine Breaks (EB)
Examine Symbol Name (ES)
Move to Specific Source Line or Continue (Go)
Access On-line Help (H)
Step through Source Code (S)
Step into User Function (SI)
Switch the Prompt Terminal (P)
Switch Modes (ON and OF)
Examine Specific Source File Segments (Type)
Switch Modes (ON and OF)

Switch statements begin with ON or OF commands. The ON command allows you to turn on
the Debugger and the File Displayer mode of graphics placement.

At the MicroStation key-in field when a symbol tutorial is active.
At a Debugger prompt.
Set Line Break (B)

The Set Line Break command allows you to interrupt processing at a specified line. You can set
up to 10 breaks per module. To examine the breaks set in the current module, key in E breaks
or E b.
Syntax
B lineno
Options
lineno
A valid line number in the executing module. When the execution reaches
the lineno, the debugger stops processing and prompts you for the next
command.
Example
The following example allows the Debugger to break at line 5.
b 5
To cancel this break, key in b -5.
Call Tutorial (C)

You must exit these tutorials before the Debugger reprompts.
Syntax

Deposit Global (DG)

The Deposit Global command allows you to modify values of global DIMENSION variables.
Syntax
DG dimension_# = value
Options
dimension_#
A global variable 1 ... 100.
Example
In the following example, the system places a value of 10.0 into DIMENSION_5:
DG 5 = 10.0
Deposit Local (DL)

The Deposit Local command allows you to modify the values of local variables.
Only numeric type local variables can be modified.
Syntax
DL variable = value
Options
variable

Example
In the following example, the system places a value of 20.0 into RADIUS:
DL RADIUS = 20.0
Examine Local Variables (EL)

Syntax
EL var1:var2
Options
var1
var2
Alphanumeric character strings defining a valid lexical range of

identifiers. The Debugger responds by listing the values of variables
whose names are bracketed by var1 and var2.
Examples
In the following example, the command keyin displays all the local variables whose names
start with A through Z:
EL A:Z
110
Eden Debugger
To examine a single variable, you can drop the semicolon and var2. In the following
example, the system examines only the variable radius:
EL radius
The Debugger can display the entire array of 10 elements. In the following example, values
is declared as R8 values [10]:
EL values
In some cases, a local array may start from an element other than 1. The syntax establishes
var1 as the name of the local array and var2 as the subscript from which to examine the
array. In the following example, the Debugger allows you to examine lengths [4] ... lengths
[10] of the array declared as R8 lengths [10]:
EL lengths:4
Examine Global Variables (EG)

The Examine Global Variables command allows you to review the global variables
DIMENSION, POINT, CSTRING, PP, INPUT, and OUTPUT via the Debugger.
Syntax for DIMENSION

Eg dimension_#1:dimension_#2
-OREg dimension_#
Options
dimension_#
dimension_#1
dimension_#2
numbers from 1 through 100
Example
The following example displays the contents of DIMENSION_1 ... DIMENSION_5.
EG 1:5
Syntax for POINT

EG PT x
Options
x
Number from 1 through 125.
Example
In the following example, the system displays the value of POINT [120] in subunits. The system
also displays the coordinate system (6-point star) at POINT [x] location in design file
coordinates.
EG pt 120
Syntax for CSTRING

EG CSTR x
111
Eden Debugger
Options
x
Number between 1 and 40.
The string length in CSTRING_X is indicated by the space between the two double quotes ("--").
Example
After executing the key-in CSTRING [2] = 'This is an example', you can examine cstring_2 by
"This is an example".
keying in EG cstr 2. The system displays: CSTRING_2:
The lengths of strings stored in CSTRING variables are important for proper functioning of
string operations such .EQ., .LE., .GT. and so forth.
Syntax for PP
Eg PP x
Options
x
A number between 0 and 10.
The value for the particular placepoint is displayed in local coordinates while the refresh tee is
shown at the placepoint's location in design file coordinates. When x is 0 (Eg pp0), the symbol
active point and active orientation are displayed.
Syntax for INPUT and OUTPUT

EG input
EG output
Examine Symbol Name (ES)

The Examine Symbol Name command allows you to display the symbol name or its source file.
The system displays the full source file and module name.
Syntax
E Source
E s
Examine Source File Segments (TYPE)

The TYPE command allows you to examine various segments of the source file.
Syntax
T from_line# : to_line#
Options
112
from_line#
Source line number from which the viewed segment

starts.
to_line#
Line number ending the viewed segment.
Eden Debugger
Examples
The following example displays a window of source lines containing line#.

T line#
The following commands display a source file segment containing only the current line.
T
Type
Displays a source file segment scroll bar containing the current line.
Move to Specific Source Line or Continue (Go)

The Go command allows you to direct the DEBUGGER to a particular source line. The
DEBUGGER goes directly to line# and displays a window of source lines around line#. The
DEBUGGER prompts you for more input. This format of the Go command allows you to
override the normal control flow and execute the source statements selectively. The Go
command also allows the DEBUGGER to start executing from a current source line until it
encounters a break.
Keying in Go and pressing a carriage return will break you out of the source code.
Syntax
G line#
or
Go line#
Options
line#
Valid executable source line number between 1 and 1500.
Step through Source Code (S)

This command allows you to execute a number of statements in the usual order before the
Debugger prompts you again.
Syntax
S #_of_lines
Options
#_of_lines
Number of lines you want to execute before being reprompted. If

#_of_lines is 1, the #_of_lines parameter can be omitted.
113
Eden Debugger
Step into User Function (SI)

The Step into User Function command allows you to step into a user function module. The
command is executed when the current-line arrow points to a "call USER_FUNCTION ('abcd')"
statement. The screen is refreshed with source lines from the newly activated module. All
commands are interpreted in the new context until a return/stop/end statement is executed. The
DEBUGGER then returns to the calling module as does the control.
Syntax
SI
Switch the Prompt Terminal (P)

The Debugger accepts input from the form.
The current Start, Add, Modify, or Modify & Copy commands can be canceled during a
Debugger prompt only when the prompt terminal is MicroStation.

APPENDIX B
Appendix: Equipment Data Definition

The database containing the equipment data definition information is located in
c:\win32app\ingr\pdeqp\ddl\eqp.ddl.
Each piece of equipment in an equipment model is linked to a database record that contains
nongraphic information about that piece of equipment. You can supply the nongraphic
information before placing the item in the model or at placement time via input fields on the
placement form.
Each database (or database partition) is composed of a set of database tables which represent
categories of data. A database table is a defined set of attributes that describe an item. An
attribute is a single type of information to be stored about an item. Each attribute has a name
which describes the piece of information to be stored. The actual information stored in the
database is referred to as the attribute value. This value is a fixed data type: numeric,
alphanumeric or code-listed.
Numeric data types can be either real (decimal) or integer. These attributes are used for
quantitative values such as pressure or temperature.
Alphanumeric data types (characters) are used for textual information such as equipment
item names or descriptions.
Code-listed data types are special integer values which help standardize and speed up data
entry. A code list is a set of acceptable values for a particular attribute which can be referred
to by an index number.
By using the code list, you can enter the code-listed value instead of keying in all the
characters each time a category is specified. A code listed attribute is an attribute whose
value is defined using one of the selections from a particular code-list set.
The name of an equipment item is the most important nongraphic piece of data in the database
concerning that equipment item. The equipment name is used by piping modelers to refer to a
piece of equipment while routing pipe. The name must be defined before an equipment item can
be placed in the model.
In addition to the database record for the equipment item, there is also a database record for each
nozzle on the equipment item. These records store essential data about the nozzles needed by
PD_Design.

The following code is the Symbol Processor for HTANK. It illustrates several useful Eden
features in creating the tutorials previously mentioned such as handling terminated fields,
declaring local point arrays for location data, and placing 2D complex shapes for generating
shadows. To familiarize yourself with the logic, you will find it useful to step through the source
code aided by the Debugger. The symbol (and the User Function) should be extracted from the
delivered text library, recompiled, and then inserted into the object library. The recompilation
process allows the Debugger to locate the source file on your system when the symbol
HTANK is called up.

Example 10 (Insulation Graphics)

You can now place soft insulation graphics using the Eden code for Parametrics. A new Begin
category (ENVELOPE_INSULATION) needs to be created for each Eden equipment symbol, so
that the below statement can be called to draw the insulation shape and place it on the same
Active Model Category as Insulation Envelope.
Call Begin (ENVELOPE_INSULATION)
EXAMPLE:
Your existing Eden code will have to be modified to remove the placement of insulation on the
physical level (if you have done that). Comment out the 1st line and add the 2nd line.

Next, add the lines below before the STOP statement to draw the insulation.

Circular Platform (A001)
The sweep defines the platform location (left [L] or right [R]) in relation to the ladder as
looking from the top view.
For SEGMENT 1, the platform edge next to the ladder is parallel to the radial line located at
angle P1. All other edges are radial.
Select the Define Holes option to define the various shape penetrations on the platform
surface using the Handrail A (A015) (see "Holes for Platforms (A015)" on page 150) form.
A001 Notes Specific to Form A001, Circular Platform
SWEEP defines whether the platform is located to the right (R) or to the left (L) of the
ladder, as viewed from the top.
For segment 1, the platform edge next to the ladder is parallel to the radial line located at
angle P1. All other platforms edges are radial.
Characteristics of the parameters that apply to this form are as follows:

Handrail A (A051)
The primary axis of the place point must point up and normal to the platform surface. The
secondary axis may point in any direction.
The top and middle rails are placed as 2-1/2 inch outside diameter cylinders at the center of
the trajectory as specified using the Select Points option.
Posts are placed as 2-1/2 inch outside diameter cylinders. A post is placed at the begin point
and another at the end point. Subsequent posts are then placed a specified distance (P3) from
each intermediate (D1) point. Additional posts are placed in equal spacing so that the
maximum distance between posts does not exceed P4.
Modification of the handrail definition after placement requires you to delete and
redefine the handrail.
To identify the handrail connect points, select the Select Point option. Then, place a data
point at the designated connect points.
For accurate connect points, verify that the Keypoint Snap Lock is OFF and the Project Snap
Lock is ON.

The primary axis of the PP must point up and normal to the platform surface. The secondary
axis may point in any direction.
Use the SELECT POINTS command to identify points for placement of the handrail.
Top rails and mid rails are placed as 2-1/2 inch OD cylinders, at the center of the trajectory
described with the SELECT POINTS command.
Posts are placed as 2-1/2 inch OD cylinders. One post is placed at the beginning and end
points. A post is also placed a distance P3 from each intermediate <Di> point. Additional

You must define a minimum of one shell section. Four shell sections is the maximum that
can be defined. For each section, you must specify both length and diameter.
Shell graphics (P1-E3) contain thickness. Support graphics (P13-DP) do not contain
thickness.
Skirt or ring supports can be located with respect to DP2, DP3, or DP4. P16 must have a
negative value to locate the support below the data point. If P13, P14, and P15 are not
defined, the support is not placed.
Select the Define option to establish user specific definitions and insulation thickness using
the Define (E200) form.
Select the Define Weights option to establish the empty and operational weights of the
parametric using the Define Weights (E201) (on page 169) form.
When in an input field, entering a value of zero eliminates that section of the parametric.
