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.

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.

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.

6. Select the bottom level using a position in the graphical view with . The view'smode changes and the Positioning Controltool bar is displayed.
7. Enter the required volume. The thickness is adjusted to suit.
If you do not want the thickness to adapt to level changes, you can lock a thickness
with .
The default top level is zero with respect to the level.
3. Select the position
Two methods are available to select the position of the extrusion:
1. Enter the values in the fields for East, Northand Upin the Positionframe. You canalso change the reference by entering the name of an existing element in the Wrt
field. If the field is greyed out you can unlock it using .
2. Select the position in the graphical view using the in the Position frame. To
avoid changing a desired value in a field, lock it using .The default position is at the origin of the level. By default, the position is the origin ofthe extrusion. For rectangular and circular shapes, the origin is at the centre. You canselect a reference point to position the extrusion using the Referencedrop-down list.
4. Select the orientation
Three methods are available to select the orientation of the extrusion:
1. Enter the values in the Direction and Rotation fields. The direction is alwaysshown with respect to the level.
2. Select the direction in the graphical view using .
3. Change the rotation with two selections in the graphical view using .
The default direction is up (U) with respect to the level with a rotation of zero.
5. Select the shape
Select the shape using the Shapedrop-down menu.
To specify a rectangular shape, select the Rectangularoption. There are four methodsto define the length and width:
1. Enter the values in the Length and Widthfields.
2. Measure the length and width using and two graphical picks.
3. Pick two opposite corners using .
4. Define the length and width using single graphical picks with .

To add the inventory items to the graphical view, select the rows that correspond to the
required items (ctrl+A selects all items) and clickAdd Selected.
To print the current list on a printer, click Print.
To export the current list to MS Excel, click Export.
Note: That the inventory is not stored in the database but calculated each time Nuclear
Room Manager is used. There is therefore no need to update the inventory for a
room. The room of any element in PDMScan be obtained using the gtexar attribute
which returns a list of room volumes (AREADE) for the element. This attribute can be
used in reports or to extract room data for use in other systems.
