1 About This User Guide

1.1 Description of the Manual

This document constitutes of the user manual for the Nuclear Room Manager application.

This application is used in the creation and management of rooms.

The user can create, modify and delete rooms and, subsequently, can view the following

results:

Ventilation air volume calculations for existing rooms.

Flood water height calculations.

Paint area calculations.

The results of all these calculations can be shown in a form or in a Microsoft Excel file.

1.2 Compatibility with Nuclear Room Manager 11.6

This application has been completely rewritten for PDMS 12 but any data created using

Nuclear Applications 11.6 can easily be upgraded to the latest version.

There are no longer any specific requirements for structural catalogues for the Nuclear

Room Manager. Concrete elements, however, are distinguished from other structural

elements using the material reference (SOLI element).

1.3 Requirements for Structural Elements

Nuclear Room Manager works with elements created with AVEVA PDMS. It is strongly

recommended to use Nuclear Concrete Design to create the structural elements.

30/62

12.04:6


Room Management

An inventory volume contains primitives to represent the total volume of the room. It is used

to calculate a list of elements inside the room and to calculate the air volume inside the

room.

A flooding volume contains primitives to represent the part of the room flooded. It is used to

calculate the volume of water, a list of elements that are in the water and the surface area of

waterproof paint required.


31/62


Room Management

12.04:7

There are two steps to creating a room volume:

1. Name the room volume

To cancel the creation of the room volume, click Dismiss. If you navigate to anotherelement, the form closes automatically.

4.5 Create an Extrusion Primitive

You can create one or more primitives to model the room volume.

For an inventory volume the primitives should be bigger than the interior of the room so that

volume calculations include part of the openings and inventory calculations include

elements on the wall and floor faces. To avoid gaps between rooms, the following method is

advised.

1. Create the volume between centrelines of walls.

2. Create the volume between the middle of the floor below and the middle of the floorabove.

For a flooding volume the primitives should match the primitives for the inventory except that

the height should be adjusted to give the required volume.

This height will need to be adjusted to take into account the elements contained inside the

volume at a later stage.

To create an extrusion primitive, navigate to a room volume and select the Extrusionoption

in the Createdrop-down list.
