CHAPTER 4
4 Setting up the Training Project

The AVEVA Plant Training Databases have been updated to make them more realistically reflect the way
databases are created on a real project.
In general terms, a typical AVEVA Plant project will have a database created per Discipline per Plant Area. The
project is made up of 4 Areas AREA01 - Stabilizer, AREA02 – Buildings, AREA03 – Process Area and AREA04 –
Laser Area.
Area04
Area03
Area02
Area01
4.1 Training Setup Overview
The Training Setup creates all of the Users, Teams, MDB’s, Databases, and default files. It has the ability to
create up to 26 sets of independent databases.
Some project catalogues require modification and are hence copied into the training project from the AVEVA
Sample project (APS).
Copyright © 2021.
Training Setup
TM-1800
The databases are recreated each time the trainer selects the option to create a project. Once the course has
ended, the project data can be deleted; this will delete all the databases that the training setup created.
The setup can be used on any Plant project providing the AVEVA Catalogue (ACP) and Sample (APS) projects
can be referenced.
The Training Project by default is Metric, with British Standard Steelwork, PSL Supports and Cabling using
Cableway’s.
4.2 Training Setup form
From the Admin main menu, Select Utilities > Training Setup… to display the Training Setup form.
4.3 Training Setup Options
Depending on the type of course being run, the Trainer can configure the project to the customer’s training
requirement by changing the options that are available on the Training Setup and MDS tabs.

Copyright © 2021.
Training Setup
TM-1800
4.3.2 Supports tab
The Trainer should not need to change any

of these options unless it is a customer
requirement.
The Trainer may add MDS to any MDB or use

the default training MDBs providing the
required MDS environment variables are set.
The selected databases will be

referenced/copied into the current project.
For example, database
MDS/MDSAPPDEFAULTS, which is the MDS
configuration database, will be copied into
the project, whilst MDS/CATA the MDS
catalogue database will be referenced or
included (read only).
This is described in full in TM-1304 AVEVA Plant (12.1) Multi-Discipline Supports Administration.
4.3.2.1 Third Party Interfaces

These interfaces are customer specific and are supplied in separate databases. For example, CPL is Carpenter
& Patterson and this is a link to Witch Hanger. The default setting for third party interfaces is None.
4.3.2.2 Hanger Templates

MDS is supplied with 3 standard Hanger templates in separate databases. The default setting for Hanger
Templates is PSL.
4.3.2.3 Steelwork Templates

MDS is supplied with 3 standard Steelwork Standards in separate databases. The default setting for Steelwork
Templates is BS.

CHAPTER 6
6 Installing Point Cloud Data

This Chapter will describe how to download and install the Point Cloud Data required for the training course
TM-1821 AVEVA™ E3D Design Using Laser Data.
Due to the large amount of data involved, the trainer is advised to allow enough time for downloading and
copying the data on the trainee’s machines prior to the training session.
Also, the trainer must ensure that the machines used for the Using Point Cloud Data training meets the
minimum hardware requirements for Laser data as mentioned in the AVEVA E3D User Bulletin.
The Point Cloud data provided for the training is different from the laser data for the RIB and Sample
Project.
6.1 Downloading the Point Cloud Data

From the AVEVA Software Support site, download the release # 52457
This location can be reached from the following link: softwaresupportsp.aveva.com
Due to the large size of Point Cloud data (27Gb), the download may take a long time to complete
Once the download completed, unzip the archive 52457.zip in a temporary shared folder or on a portable
storage device. The unpacked Point Cloud dataset takes 67Gb of empty space.
Copyright © 2021.
Training Setup
TM-1800
6.2 Copying the Point Cloud Data
Due to the nature of the Point Cloud Training exercises, the point cloud data must be copied locally, on every
attendee’s machines. Allow enough preparation time for this operation.
The laser data is contained in the archive Eaton.zip. Copy this file on a temporary folder on every machine via
a network share or a portable storage device.
Then, on each machine, unzip the file to the following location:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\AVEVA\Plant\Laser
For example, using 7zip, right click the archive in file explorer and select 7zip > Extract Files…
This location is mentioned in the training guide for the creation of the point cloud model. However, it may
be changed as long as the trainee is advised where to find the lfd file.
Once the archive unzipped, the Eaton.lfd file should be found in

C:\Users\Public\Documents\AVEVA\Plant\Laser\Eaton\Dataset as instructed in the training guide.
