Glossary
approval state
Recorded state of acceptance of information contained in objects within the
database. The approval states indicate a level of confidence in the information
stored in the database and govern the ability of users to alter specific data about a
product.
attribute
A single type of non-graphics information that is stored about an object such as
diameter or end preparation.
axis
An imaginary line used to define the orientation of a system or object normally
defined in terms of an x, y, and z-axis. Some 3-D graphic objects have an
associated axis used to define the center or axis for rotations.
Bulk load
The process by which reference data in Microsoft Excel workbooks is loaded into
the Catalog database.
Catalog
Repository of information about components and materials used in construction.
When you use catalog parts in the model, the software places an occurrence of the
catalog part in the project. This occurrence is a copy of the actual catalog part.
Catalog database
The database that contains the reference data. Each Plant/Ship database can
reference a different Catalog database.
Change history
Process of recording information such as who, when, and why for any given
modification.
Change management
Software features or manual procedures for managing the consequence of change.
For example, software can support a change management feature to report
drawings that need updating as a result of a change in a 3-D model.
Change propagation
Ability of the software to intelligently modify dependent design information to
reflect change in a higher order object.
Codelist
A set of acceptable values for a particular property that can be referred to by an
index number or selected in a combo box. For example, the codelist for the
material specification allows you to select from a set of standard entries, such as
ASTM A183-F316 Stainless Steel.
Concurrent access
Ability of the software to allow multiple users to simultaneously access and
modify the design of a model.
Constraints
A logical restriction that controls how part symbols ports relate to each other and
to reference ports. There are four constraints: parallel, perpendicular, coincident,
and distance.
Coordinate
The location of a point along the X-, Y-, or Z-axis.
Coordinate system
A geometric relation used to denote the location of points in the model. The most
common coordinate system is the rectangular coordinate system, whereby points
are located by traversing the X-, Y-, and Z-axes of the model. Normally,
coordinate systems have their origin defined as 0,0,0.
Cutting plane
A plane that cuts through an object.
Degree
The highest polynomial factor in the curve or surface mathematical definition. A
line is a degree 1 curve, while a cubic B-spline is a degree 3 curve.
Easting
A term that describes an east coordinate location in a coordinate system.
Elevation (grids)
The height, or value along the Z-axis of the coordinate system, of a point.
focus of rotation
A point or line about which an object or view turns.
grid
A network of uniformly spaced horizontal and perpendicular lines that help to
identify either 2-D or 3-D relationships.
grid set
A group of grid lines placed within a plane that are linked. A grid set can be
manipulated as a single unit.
GUIDs
Acronym that stands for Globally Unique Identifiers. The software automatically
creates the GUIDs sheet in the Excel workbooks when you create the Catalog
database and schema. The purpose of storing GUIDs within Excel workbooks is to
help you keep track of what has been loaded into the database. Storing GUIDs also
helps to avoid the situation in which a replacement Catalog database causes
existing models to become invalid.
interference checking
A process that identifies possible collisions or insufficient clearance between
objects in the model.
location
A Location is defined by three user-defined inputs: 1) a unique name, 2) a unique
name rule ID, and 3) the SQL Server where the Site databases reside for that
Location. One Location is defined and created when the Site database is created
using the Database Wizard. Additional Locations can be created in the Project
Management task. Each Location is a Site-level object, thus other Plants within the
same Site collection can use the Locations when the Plants are configured for
Workshare.
move from point
Starting point for an action. For example, when you move an equipment object,
the Move From point determines the point of origin for the move.
move to point
Ending point for an action. For example, when you move an equipment object, the
Move To point determines where you want the move to stop.
node
1) One of the set of discrete points in a flow graph. 2) A terminal of any branch of
a network or a terminal common to two or more branches of a network. 3) An end
point of any branch or a network or graph, or a junction common to two or more
branches.
northing
A term that describes a north coordinate location in a coordinate system.
occurrence (of part or equipment)

Instantiation of a part of equipment in the plant that refers to the part library; an
instance of a specific object. The design can be built several times and therefore
the occurrence can apply to more than one hull. Typically, an occurrence points
back to a specific object, either for its complete definition, as in the case of a
particular valve, or for its made from material, as in the case of a steel plate part
cut from sheets. Thus, when a designer selects a component from the catalog and
places it at a location in the space of the plant, the software creates an occurrence
of that object in the plant design.
occurrence property
A characteristic that applies to an individual object in the model. Occurrence
properties are designated with oa: in the reference data workbooks. You can view
and modify occurrence properties on the Occurrence tab of the properties dialog
boxes in the software. Depending on the object, some occurrence properties are
read-only.
origin
In coordinate geometry, the point where the X-, Y-, and Z-axes intersect.
origin point
The point at which the coordinate system is placed, providing a full Cartesian
coordinate system with positive and negative quadrants. Points are placed at
coordinates relative to the origin point, represented by the X, Y, and Z values.
orthogonal
The characteristic of an element consisting completely of elements positioned at
90-degree angles. A square is an orthogonal element.
orthographic
A depiction of an object created by projecting its features onto a plane along lines
perpendicular to the plane.
PDS (Plant Design System)
A comprehensive, intelligent computer-aided design and engineering application
for the process, power, and marine industries. PDS consists of integrated 2-D and
3-D modules that correspond to engineering tasks in the design workflow.
PinPoint
Tool that allows you to place, move, and modify elements with precision, relative
to a reference point.
product structure
Hierarchical breakdown or decomposition of a product into constituent parts,
volumes, or units. (For example, a bill of material is one possible type of product
structure.)
query select sets
Set of objects that are selected in a query or queries on the database.
reference data
The data that is necessary to design plants or ships using the software. Reference
data includes graphical information, such as symbols. It also contains tabular
information, such as physical dimensions and piping specifications.
user attributes
A customized property in the reference data. The Custom Interfaces sheets in the
Excel workbooks define these properties. You can list the customized properties on
the individual part class sheets.
version control
Ability of the system to manage multiple versions of a single part of the design.
Version control should support conditional analysis and promotion status, as well
as alternate design features among hulls within a plant site.
vertex
A topological object that represents a point in the three-dimensional model.
viewset
Set of objects (usually a subset of the entire database) that a view operation uses.
Membership or lack of membership for any object in a viewset does not affect the
actual stored representation of the object, but only its availability or desirability for
viewing in the current scenario.
wizard
Software routine attached to an application that provides guidance and expert help
to a user to complete one of the functionalities of the application.
work content
Estimation development of metrics from the database that relates to the work hour
content of the various construction units.
working plane
The available 2-D plane of movement for endpoint selection.
workset
Set of objects (usually a subset of the entire database) used in an interactive
change, add, or delete operation. Membership or lack of membership for any
object in a workset does not necessarily affect the actual stored representation of
an object. However, you can change or delete an object in a workset that also
results in a change or deletion of the stored object. Similarly, when you add a new
object (not currently stored) to a workset, the software also adds the object
container.
workspace
Area that represents the portion of the model data needed to perform the intended
task and includes the user modeling settings.
