12 Testing the AVEVA Hull and Outfitting 12.1 Access
Log into AVEVA Marine (12.1), Outfitting Design as different users and check that objects can be created, and objects created by other users in other databases can be seen. This will also test that the user is able to create Equipment and Pipes in AVEVA Marine (12.1), using multiple users.
The databases created earlier were created with multiwrite access. Databases created with update access will only allow one writer, so when the user tries to connect to a nozzle that is in a database that it cannot write to, an Inter database Macro will be created.
12.1 Testing the Access
Testing the access assumes that the users have a knowledge AVEVA Marine (12.1), Equipment and Piping modules, if this is not the case the trainer will help with the creation of the elements required.
Start AVEVA Marine (12.1) in the Outfitting application. Now from the AVEVA Marine Login
form, select the Project ShipAMA, Username PIPEF, the Password PIPEF, set the MDB to PIPEF
From the Design pull down on the main menu select Equipment, this changes the module to the Equipment module.
Firstly create a SITE PIPEF/DESIGN, from the main Pull down menu select Create > Site
Now using the Design Explorer navigate to the SITE
PIPEF/DESIGN, create a ZONE TEST_PIPEF. Add two pieces of simple equipment EQUI1 and EQUI2 to the ZONE each containing at least one Nozzle.
A macro file Test_Pipe.txt is available for those not familiar with creating equipment. Navigate to the SITE
PIPEF/DESIGN and drag the datal into the command Window.
