2.3.1 Creating a SITE and a ZONE
1. Using the Design Explorer window navigate to the WORL level
2. Now select Create > Site from the main pull down menus, the Create Site form
appears:
3. Key in an appropriate name for the SITE.
4. Select a Purpose from the drop down menu.
5. Click OK. The SITE is created.
6. Using the Design Explorer window navigate to the newly created SITE level.
7. Select Create > Zone from the main pull down menus, the Create Zone form appears.
8. Key in an appropriate name for the ZONE, select a Purpose from the drop down menu.
9. Click OK. The ZONE is created
Note: Remember to create any element, you need to be positioned at the correct level in
the hierarchy, so before you can create a zone, you must have a site.
2.4 Using Names
Any element in the database may be named. Names enable you to identify elements and to
produce meaningful reports from the database. Which elements you attach names to is a
matter of choice, but in general you would be expected to name all major design items such
as Equipment, Nozzles, Pipes and Valves.
Conventionally, for equipment, you would probably name the main equipment and all of its
nozzles. Nozzles usually carry the equipment name plus a suffix to identify the specific
nozzle. For example nozzle 1 of an equipment called /YY9001 would probably be called /
YY9001-N1, /YY9001/N1 or simply /YY9001/1. Whatever names you apply, the name
convention is usually defined in the project specification used for the project you are working
on. It is probable that the project will have Autonaming rules set up for items such as
nozzles so that the project conventions are followed in every detail.
Attaching names to elements may be done in a number of ways. If you are using the
applications menus, most creation forms offer you an opportunity to name the element you
are creating. If you forget to name an element, or want to change a name, then you can
select the Modify > Name menu to change or set a new name, the following dialogue box:
appears.

Key in the new required name, select the option to Re-name all, this will rename the
equipment, nozzles and sub equipment identifiers to the same name as the equipment, then
choose Apply.
All of the application forms allow you to input a name without the preceding slash (/)
character. This is because the system adds this automatically during the command
processing
Note: Names cannot contain spaces and are case sensitive. For example, /YY9001A is a
different name from /YY9001a or /yy9001A. Elements in a database are unique, i.e.
they cannot have the same name or reference number.
2.5 Listing Elements
Lists are a temporary collection of elements on which operations can be performed that
affect all the members of the list. Lists only last for the duration of Design session unless
Forms & Display are saved.
The current list is displayed on a pull-down on the Default toolbar:
If there is no current list defined the pull-down will display No list. The pull-down also lets
you select the current list if more than one list has been defined in the current session.
Selecting Utilities > Lists from the main menu or clicking the Create/Modify Lists icon
from the Default toolbar displays the Lists/Collections form.

The first step is to create a list by selecting Add > List from the form menu bar. A Create
List form is displayed that allows you to give a Description to the list. The Description of the
list will appear in the List pull-down on the form.
Elements may be added to the list by using the Add menu on the form.
The Add menu allows you to select members to add to the list. The options are
One or more element types, for example SCTN, PANE, may be entered in the Selection
text box to filter the elements you wish to add to the list.
The selection may be further refined by adding a valid PML expression to the with Rule text
box.
Examples of with Rule might be.
• SPREF EQ /DIN-SPEC/HE300A will add all HE300A sections in the selection source to
the list.
• GTYP NE ¡®ANG¡¯ will add all SCTN elements whose Gtype is not equal to ANG in the
selection source to the list.
CE Adds the current element
CE Members Adds the elements whose owner is the current element.
Identified Adds elements by identifying them with the cursor. Clicking the
Esc key on the keyboard ends the selection
Selection Adds elements selected by use of the Add to List form:

The contents of the list may be manipulated by removing elements from it. Selecting
Remove from the Lists/Collections form menu bar gives you the same options as the Add
menu described previously, with the following additions:
Choosing the Selection option from the menu displays the Remove from List form that
operates in the same way as the Add to List form described previously.
List may be used where element selection is available on the appware forms, usually via an
options box. For example, the Position By form, allows you to select a List as an option to
apply the repositioning to.
