AVEVA Everything3D 2.1.0.5, Release No. 52531.
Terrain Application.
AVEVA E3D 2.1 Fix.5 introduces the Terrain application within the Model module. The Terrain tab is prompted
via the selection of Terrain from the Discipline options list and facilitates the definition, modelling and
modification of terrain data.

 AVEVA E3D – Projects 2.1.0 Fix.4 provides sample data for the new Terrain application.
The creation and modification of a Terrain Definition and

associated Terrain Model is guided by an intuitive user
interface that steps the user through the required design
stages.
 Terrain Surface
A terrain surface is imported and created by the Import (IMP) command and is formed by a Terrain
Surface (TRNSUR) with a GENPRI holding the imported geometry.
 The following import formats are supported initially: IGES, STEP, STL and XYZ.

 Terrain Definition
A Terrain Definition (TRNDEF) is used to define a terrain and may be restricted to a specific area of the
imported Terrain Surface by a rectangular restriction (TRNRR). In addition, standard primitives and
negatives (stored below a Terrain Primitive element TRNPRI) can be used to add or remove material
from the terrain model at creation or as a modification.
The resulting Terrain Solid (TRNSLD) is formed from the Terrain Definition with the terrain geometry
stored as a GENPRI.
 Terrain Model
With reference to a Terrain Definition (TRNREF), the Terrain Model (TRNMOD) is used by Model users
during design activity.
Each Terrain Model can be further split by a cell structure that is defined by a collection of dividing
planes obtained from a Reference Grid (REFGRD).
 Terrain Model (Contours)
Terrain Contours are associated to a Terrain Model with sets of contours (TRNCLS) holding groups of
contours (TRNCLG) at the same height.
To enable contours to be added to the Drawlist for a given terrain cell, a terrain curve collection
(TRNCUC) groups all curves that belongs to a cell and in turn contains a terrain curve set (TRNCUS) that
groups all curves defined by a particular contour line set (reference CLSREF points to the contour line
set). A terrain curve (TRNCUR) defines the portion of the contour line group that is within the cell.
 For further detailed information on the forming of a Terrain Definition and Model please refer to the AVEVA E3D
2.1 Terrain User Documentation.
Terrain data and contours may be

incorporated into drawings and intelligently
annotated to form project deliverables.
The representation of contours with inclusive
annotation is supported by a Line Style with a
text string interpretation of the intelligent text
#ELEVAT. Further, the View Visual Style has
been extended to support precision and units.
 For further detailed information on the use of Terrain data in Draw please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Draw User
Documentation.

User-Defined Trunnions.
User-defined Trunnions may be defined via the Component Selection tab of the Supports Trunnion Data form
in the Paragon module (AVEVA Catalogue 2.1.0). The user is able to pick compatible components and apply
them as possible user selections for items in the make-up of a Trunnion.
Valid components are available in the Components for Trunnion lists and may be set as being active as
required. Items that appear as valid inactive selections are collected by support class from the range of
available components. A default active component exists for each component category and may be changed
via a right-click menu.
On creating a Trunnion type in the model, the user is presented with the support type information in addition
to tabs for each component. The user is able to select a component tab and dynamically change it to one of
the available component options as defined in Paragon.
In the example here the XAC18A tab has been selected and the
Reselect Ancillary Type button clicked to prompt the Ancillary
Selection form. The selections in the prompted form are limited to
the available types as specified in Paragon for this support type at
the given bore.

In regards to administration, the component range for Trunnion Ancillary Components (AC) has been
expanded to include user definable supports (AC500-700 in the MDU project). There are two different classes
of items that can be created:
 User Defined Ancillary Components – AC500 - AC599.
 User Defined plate Components – AC600 - AC700.
The following update requirements are to be considered:
 The new trunnion functionality requires the latest ACP catalogue databases for the supports
application. These are provided in AVEVA Everything3D™ - Projects 2.1.0.4 and above.
 Users wishing to create user defined trunnion ancillary components (AC500 – 700) may need to
upgrade their existing MDU project to include these items.
 The upgrade process can be completed within the Paragon module via the ‘Check Supports
Application Defaults’ tool. It is important, however, that the user updating the MDU database has
appropriate write access to make any changes.
 For further detailed information on the setting and administration of user-defined trunnions please refer to the
AVEVA E3D 2.1 Supports User Documentation.
Carpenter & Patterson – Witch-Hanger Interface.
The Carpenter and Patterson Witch-Hanger interface software is now available for use within the Supports
application in AVEVA Everything3D 2.1.
Use of the software is administered in the Supports Admin Data form within the Paragon module.

Available Hanger types for the interface are presented to the user in the Supports application.
On selection of the Hanger and required model data, the

Support Editor is updated to include a Witch-Hanger
interface button.
The Hanger design can be progressed and completed, with

the Hanger formed in the Supports model.
 For further detailed information please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Supports User Documentation.
In regards to the setup of the Witch-Hanger interface, specific file paths are set up within a new file called
hangerInterfaceConfiguration.xml in the default AVEVA E3D 2.1 install directory.

Input/output directories are created automatically within the current project and will be stored in a directory
prefixed with the 3 letter project code i.e. <xxx>HID.
 In contrast with older versions of the software there is no longer a need to setup project specific evars within
evars.init for the hanger interface executable file or input/output folders in the project.

Mining Application.
AVEVA E3D 2.1 Fix.4 introduces the Mining application within the Model module. The Mining tab is prompted
via the selection of Mining from the Discipline options list and allows the creation and modification of mining
conveyors and equipment.
The application enables the user to define,

create and modify Conveyor elements
together with their associated covers and
supporting frames.
 AVEVA E3D – Projects 2.1.0 Fix.3 provides sample data for the new Mining application.

The creation and modification of a Conveyor element is guided by an

intuitive user interface that steps the user through the required
design stages.
The example here illustrates how the user may configure the
Conveyor through the selection, spacing and definition (via diagram
field input) of the supporting Idler elements.
 The Idler Catalogue is based upon CEMA standards (Conveyor
Equipment Manufacturing Assoc.).
Mining equipment, grouped by process area, may be selected as

standard equipment items from the Standard (Equipment) form e.g.
a Banana Screen.

The standard mining equipment is parametrised to allow the specification of equipment based on project
requirements e.g. Chutes of a given dimension.
As required of all Model data, Mining elements may be incorporated into drawings and intelligently
annotated to form project deliverables.
 For further detailed information please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Mining User Documentation.

Vessel Framework Supports.
This release introduces Vessel Framework Supports to the Supports application in the Model module. The
Vessel Framework Supports are used for supporting pipework associated to Vessels. A default set of Vessel
Framework support templates are supplied with the Supports application (accessed via Supports tab >
Framework gallery).
A user may create Vessel Framework supports using a combination of framework types and ancillaries;
guided throughout the creation process by a series of prompts.
 Some vessel framework supports require the creation of support brackets on the vessel before creation.
In most cases, support brackets can be created as box primitives.
 For further information please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Supports User Documentation – Section
6.5 Vessel Framework.

To support the introduced Vessel Framework Supports the following standards are available in the Supports
application:
 For further information please refer to the AVEVA Catalogue User Documentation- Section 10.13.19
Vessel Framework Supports for Pipes.

Multiport Valves.
The IsoDraft module is now able to produce isometrics containing multiport valves and instruments. Such
valves are typically used in the dairy and food industries.
Users should note the generic type is INST to allow multi-connection

reference array.
Multiport Valves are either single, double or triple bodied in a tier of

varying orientation.
As an addition to ACP project MASTER/PIPECATA database a new CATA

/EXAMPLE-GEA-TUCHENHAGEN-CATA has been included with examples of
GEA Tuchenhagen multi-port dairy and food industry valves
To use these or other manufacturer valves/instruments of a similar design,

users should refer to the Isodraft reference manual.
There are 18 SKEY variations available – the below illustrates an example of a Three-Level Multiport Valve.
In regards to P-Points the following should be noted:

 Instrument dials can have a P3 with an unset bore for orienting the dial. This p-point will normally
be positioned perpendicular to the dial face, on the dial axis. A message will be output near the
component showing the orientation of P3.
 P-Point 11 is the Spindle attachment point and its PURP attribute should be set to ‘SPIN’.
 Multiport Valves may have up to 2 flushing/draining connections:
o These must be P-Point 9 and P-Point 10.
o The isometric will only show a symbolic line and a note CONT TO ”name” for each
connection.
o There will be no materials or isometric representation of the branch connection to these
points.
 For further information please refer to the IsoDraft Reference Manual: INST Symbol Keys and Symbol
Key Reference Index.

AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface.
The AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface is an integral part of AVEVA E3D 2.1. The interface facilitates the transfer
of structural steel data between AVEVA E3D 2.1.0 and AVEVA Bocad Steel (2.1.1 onwards). The interface
makes allowance for the introduction of the new Structural Catalogues at AVEVA E3D 2.1.0 and the use of
GENSEC elements.
The AVEVA Bocad Steel Import and Export tools are located within the Import and Export groups in the
TOOLS tab.
New mapping files have been made available; one for each standard of the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural
Catalogue, to be used with the most recent AVEVA Bocad Catalogue (2.2.1 and 2.3 onwards). These mapping
files are required to be customised where the AVEVA Bocad Catalogue has been altered or a differing
standard has been used in a project.
To aid the mapping process a new tool is available to

create or customise mapping files. The AVEVA
Structural Map File Converter is available from the
AVEVA Bocad Steel Import and Export forms via the
Control menu option Map Converter.
The standard P-lines that exist for the profiles within the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue are
sufficient to use the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface - additional P-lines previously used are no longer required.
It should be noted that within the new Structural Catalogue ANGLE profiles have a new orientation
convention in line with other products in the market. This is managed by an internal orientation mapping
file.
 It is important to note that the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface provided within AVEVA E3D 2.1 is compatible
with the ‘old’ Profile catalogue and P-lines as long as the specific P-lines have been installed.
In regards to the import process, it should be noted that only GENSECs will be created at import due to SCTN
elements being no longer used by the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural application.
 Please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 User Documentation for further information regarding the
administration and use of the AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface in AVEVA E3D 2.1.

AVEVA SDNF Interface.
The AVEVA SDNF interface facilitates the transfer of structural steel data between structural applications
using the SDNF neutral format file. The interface makes allowance for the introduction of the new Structural
Catalogues at AVEVA E3D 2.1 and the use of GENSEC elements for linear structural elements.
This SDNF interface is available in the Import and Export group of the TOOLS Ribbon tab.
A new mapping file format has been introduced (BLOCK). This will increase the speed of search within the
mapping file. As seen with AVEVA Bocad Steel Interface, a new tool is available to create or customise
mapping files with this new format – the AVEVA Structural Map File Converter. The tool is available from
the SDNF Import and Export forms via the Control menu option Map Converter.
 Existing customised mapping files will be required to be updated where the intent is to use the new
AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue. Sample mapping files are provided with the installation.
The standard P-lines existing for profiles in the new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural Catalogue are sufficient to use
the SDNF interface. It should be noted that within the new catalogue ANGLE profiles have a new orientation
convention in line with other products in the market. This is managed by the orientation mapping file.
In regards to the import process it should be noted that only GENSECs will be created at import due to SCTN
elements being no longer used by the AVEVA E3D 2.1 Structural application.
 Please refer to the AVEVA E3D 2.1 User Documentation for further information regarding the
administration and use of the AVEVA SDNF Interface in AVEVA E3D 2.1.

Supports: Creation of Branch Reinforcement Supports (Support Type BR).
This fix release incorporates Branch Reinforcement Supports into the
new AVEVA E3D 2.1 Supports application. The Branch Reinforcement
creation workflow has been aligned with the Supports application
interface and element hierarchy.

beginning with a search fragment is faster and can be performed by prefixing the
search text with a forward slash '/' to indicate this is the start of the name.
Title: Element Selection browser dialogs should hide empty libraries.

Symptoms: Certain browser dialogs targeted at element selection display empty
directories and allow element creation which is inappropriate to the workflow.
- 185795 Draw Solution: Browser dialogs targeted at element selection (as opposed to 'create' or
'picture file open'), now disallow the 'New' option either via the top left hand button
or via right click. In addition, these dialogs will only show hierarchy containing existing
elements of the required search types (this improves performance and allows
elements to be found more easily).
Title: Error presented when using check support in Clasher where the Supports
application is not loaded
- 185520 Supports Symptoms: Error: Aborted !!findSupports.addPickedElement(!this.re turn[1], FALSE)
Previous / Known workaround: Open Support application prior to clashing.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: Exception when setting an ENDATU POSL attribute using the Properties Grid.
Symptoms: Exception experienced on the system attempting to find the plines for
187619 Everything3D the ENDATU.
Previous / Known workaround: Set attribute via the command window.
Solution: Fixed – system checks ENDATU owner for a list of allowed Plines.
Title: Incorrect Isometric for a Pipe containing a PIPCA connection at a TEE where
Hyper Plant is on and weld numbers from Database.
- 186032 IsoDraft Symptoms: Incorrect Isometric for described scenario.
Known workaround: None.
Solution: Fixed.
Title: The default bend selection form does not reload available bending machines.
Symptoms: Available bending machines are not reloaded on opening the default
bend radius form and an error occurs when a wall thickness cannot be obtained.
Previous / Known workaround: Restart E3D to reload the bending machines but no
- 187009 Piping workaround for described wall thickness error.
Solution: Fixed - the form now reloads the available bending machines each time the
form is opened. The form also handles the case where a wall thickness cannot be
obtained.
Title: Updated Samples.zip omitted from E3D 2.1 install.

Symptoms: As described.
- 187013 Everything3D
Solution: Fixed – updated Sample.zip delivered with fix release.
Title: Creating a SYTM under a VSI Template causes an Error Message.
Symptoms: The error only occurs if the VSI Library is created using the right-click
83881 178524 Draw menu option rather than clicking the 'create' button.
Previous / Known workaround: Utilise the ‘create’ button to create the VSI Library.
Solution: Fixed – no error received.

Exceptions – Significant Defects and Recommended Workarounds

AVEVA intends to fix the defects listed below in a fix release or service pack as soon as reasonably possible.
 Pipe Fabrication utilities are not included in the first release of AVEVA E3D 2.1.0. Functions linked to Pipe
Fabrication are displayed in the user interface but are greyed out.
 Laser. The Box and Cylinder primitives (only) are fully compatible with the Highlight and Mask laser data
features. The Box primitive (only) is fully compatible with the forming of a Demolition package volume.
 Supports (TFS-183921). It is not currently possible to set the Support joint justification to a Pline of the
Column.
 3D View Selection (TFS-174778). Pipes with no component cannot be selected via a window selection in
the 3D View.
 Install (TFS-186636). AVEVA E3D 2.1 currently does not support a Project installed on a Windows 8.1 D:\
partition where the file path contains spaces. The issue is linked to the install of AVEVA E3D 2.1 to a
volume with 8dot3naming disabled referencing projects installed to a volume with 8dot3naming enabled.
An installation error is presented on first running AVEVA E3D 2.1 and on subsequent occasions the login
form is presented but without Project tiles for selection.
 Terrain (TFS-200037). A Line Style with a Text String (TXTSRI) defined does not export correctly to DXF,
DGN or PLOT formats. This prevents the export of contour annotation to these formats.

Interoperability with AVEVA PDMS / Hull & Outfitting 12.1.SP4.
 Hull Projects. Spaces in Project pathnames should be avoided for AVEVA Marine (Hull) 12.1.SP4 data
being used within AVEVA E3D 2.1.
 AVEVA Global. All extract database FLUSH and ISSUE commands must be undertaken from within AVEVA
E3D 2.1 when accessing a globalised project with both AVEVA PDMS / Hull & Outfitting 12.1.SP4 and
AVEVA E3D 2.1.
For the latest list of exceptions and other updates, please see the Product Release Latest Update Note on
AVEVA's support web site http://downloads.aveva.com/52541/w52541.pdf.
