PDMS

Course details

• Routing simple pipes (basically orthogonal routes) using the Query facility.
• Checking the modelled pipework for any data consistency errors, interpreting any errors found and carrying out the necessary modifications.

• Producing reports on any elements in the design data, illustrating the scope for variation in selection & report format.
• Checking the model for any interference (Clash Detection), producing error reports & interpreting any errors found & making the necessary modifications.
• Understanding the differences between on-line and command line Clash
• Detection, how & when to use each type.

• Regular steelwork, columns & beams, nodes, joints and fittings.
• Platforms: Access stairs & Ladders

• How the hierarchy in the Drawing Production Module (DRAFT) is constructed.
• Using the graphical user interface to select required options from the on-screen and pull down menus.

• How to use the drawing production tools
• How to produce completed drawings and plot files, using the Drawing Production tools.

• Creating new drawings containing single or multiple views.
• Seeing the effects of design data changes on the drawings.
• How to insert dimensions and annotations on any view using 'Intelligent text' to extract data from the design database.

• Creating simple detail views of areas of interest and scrap views.
• Creating a section to show particular view information.
• Using the extensive 2D drawing facilities.
• The use of local rule changes

• The different forms of piping isometrics and the variations in their format.
• Where the reference data is stored within PDMS and the format in which it is extracted by the isometric system.

• Using the graphical user interface to select required options from the on-screen and pull down menus.
• Producing isometric drawings for the drawing frame & title block pipe picture material list, using any of the available options.
• Producing bespoke isometrics to suit company requirements.
• How the isometric system would be used in a production environment and the controls available for revising or reissuing drawings.

• Controlling drawing content for fabrication and managing weld and material traceability
