MODEL GUIDE
Explore the parts.
Know the limits.
Use the atlas to identify equipment and follow the roles of its visible components. Rotate a model, reveal its internals, select a part, and continue to a related vessel or facility scene.
What a model can tell you
The models are generic teaching illustrations. They can show where a component sits and how its role relates to neighbouring equipment. Their sizes, colours, connections and motion are illustrative.
They do not describe a named installation, establish product compatibility, calculate performance, or provide design, operating, maintenance or safety instructions. Use qualified engineering information for real equipment decisions.

Each model links to a reference for general equipment context. The references do not review or endorse the illustrations.
