How PDMS Can Help You The Plant Design Management System - PDMS - is a suite of computer programs that allow you to simulate a fully detailed, full-size model of all the significant parts of a process plant. PDMS allows you to see a fullcolour-shaded representation of the plant model as vvour design progresses, adding an unprecedented level of realism to drawing office techniques. in the computerised model you can store huge amouints of data referring to. sosition, size, part numbers and geometric relationships for the various parts of the plant. This model becomes a single source of engineering data for all of the sections and disciplines involved in a design project. All this information is stored in a database. There are many different output ‘channels from the database through which you can receive information. These range from simple text reports about any plant item, via annotated and dimensioned engineering drawings, to full colour~shaded 3D walk-through ‘capabilities which allow you to visualise your design model engineering drawings Different types of output available from PDMS CADCENTRE V2 ESSN Protected by copyright: see frontispieceEven with the advanced features of PDMS, the main form of communication between the designer and those who build the plant remains the drawings. ‘Without engincering drawings the task of building a plant almost would be impossible. To meet this need requirement, PDMS can produce numerous types of drawing, ranging from complex 3D illustrations to full ly dimensioned arrangement drawings and piping isometries, 7 All the data in PDMS design would be of little value without the ability to ensure the quality of the design information. Indeed, it would be pointless to develop such a large computer system if it could not improve on existing techniques. PDMS contributes to the quality of the design in the following ways: Ensures consistent and reliable component data Pe Ina conventional design environment, using drawing board techniques, the size of each fitting must be decided before it can be drawn. This is a time-consuming process that often leads to expensive errors, which are only found during the erection stage of the project. With PDMS, all piping component sizes and geometry are pre-determined and stored in a catalogue. This catalogue, known as the component catalogue, cannot be changed by the user. This ensures that all * items are true to size and are consistent throughout the design, no matter how many users there are on the project. Adberes to definable engineering specifications Piping specifications and steelwork catalogues stating precisely the components to be used are compiled for the purpose of ensuring consistent, safe and economic design. PDMS has been designed with piping specifications and some steelwork catalogues integral to the system, so that each component you use is selected from. a controlled selection: Ensures correct geometry and connectivity There are many different ways of making design errors, such as incorrect fitting lengths, incompatible flange ratings, or simple alignment errors. PDMS can check all of these as part of a procedure built into the system, which checks that individual parts of a design will fit together.

Laying out complex pipe runs, and general arrangemenis in confined areas on a 2D drawing board, inevitably leads to clashes between elements which are trying to share the same physical space. PDMS enables you to avoid such problems in two ways: 1, You can rotate your design interactively during the design process, allowing you to visually check the model from different viewpoints and resolve any potential problems as they arise. You can use a powerful clash checking facility within PDMS, which will detect clashes anywhere in the plant. t Extrapolates dimensions only from the design database Extracted information from the PDMS database, such as arrangement drawings, piping isometrics and reports, will always be the latest available as it it is stored only in one source. Through the course of a project, information is constantly changing and drawings need to be reissued. When “this happens, you are able to rebuild your drawings with the minimum of effort, knowing that the information on them is up to date, CADCENTRE Pea Protected by copyright: see frantismiece
