PDMS

In many projects, there is 3D PDMS modelling procedure/work instruction which defines the hierarchy to be followed while 3D modelling. Example: In case of equipment, the nozzle shall be modelled as per the ascending order sequence. If we have modelled the nozzle in a different sequence than in the requirement, we have to reorder it as per the requirement in ...

Here is an example of Mirror Copy function in PDMS: The Equipment V-1001/A currently has one elbowed nozzle N2 at a distance of 1150mm west from the center of the equipment. One new elbowed nozzle N4 of same size and specification is to be added 1150mm east from the centerline of the equipment. Since the new nozzle is of the ...

There are many utilities available in PDMS, out of which one of the utility is Equipment Report. The Equipment Report utility is used for generating equipment reports using the equipment element & their attributes stored. This report can be extracted in Excel for review and records. I will explain how to generate the equipment reports using Equipment Report Utility in ...

In this post, I will explain new equipment creation using copy offset function in PDMS. The Equipment Layout shows there are three vessels V-1001/A, B&Cwith center to center distance 2500mm. Since all the three equipment are identical in dimensions and orientation, we can first model one equipment V-1001/A and then copy this using copy offset for creating the other two ...

In the previous post we saw how Stretch/Trim Functions in PDMS Equipment Modelling works in PDMS. Here is an example of Stretch/Trim using ID P-Point- The present saddle height of the equipment from the centerline of the vessel is 1300mm. The saddle height is increased to 1500mm. So the saddle height needs to be increased by 200mm. Step 1: Check ...

Stretch/Trim Functions in PDMS Equipment Modelling One of the important activities of the PDMS designer is to keep the Equipment updated as per the latest revision of the Equipment drawing. There are many instances in which the dimensions of the equipment get revised & the equipment modelled in PDMS has to be updated as per these changes. The model can ...

Previously I gave a PDMS overview in this post. Here I will take you through the equipment modelling using PDMS. An application is supplementary program that has been tailored to provide easy control of operations that are specific to a particular discipline. The applications you will use for design work are: General Equipment Pipework Cable Trays HVAC Designer Structures Beams ...

Hierarchy in PDMS (Plant Design Management System): World, Site, Zone In the previous post, we saw the PDMS overview. I will cover WORLD, SITE, ZONE aspects in PDMS software developed by Aveva Plant to create 3D models. Before anyone starts modeling in the design module of PDMS, he should be well acquainted with the concept of hierarchy in PDMS i.e. WORLD, SITE ...

 3D modelling/environment for Plant Design: In today’s design world, majority of the project are executed using 3D environment. In 3D environment the project plant is modelled as per the actual dimensions using a 3D software. In the 3D software there are applications to model equipments & facilities into the software used by all different disciplines in the project involving Piping, ...
