What is PDMS(Plant Design Management System) & Advantages of PDMS ?


Its a product by AVEVA is known as a multi-defined, user-defined, and multi-user software that is used in designing and engineering along with the construction projects. It is a 3D design software that helps the designers to work in a team or alone into their own 3D environment. They can also able to view the designs of others as well.
  • It is a customizable, multi-user and multi-discipline, engineer controlled design software package for engineering.
  • Multiple users or designers can work at the same time.
  • 3D Design Software for plant design from Aveva Plant
  • Fully interactive, color-shaded design setting
  • Positioning & selection of parametric components from a wide-ranging catalogue
  • Status Management function for visual highlighting
  • Configure integrity checking & Clash checking
  • Offers automatic, configurable generation of wide-ranging reports & drawings
  • .NET API & PML for system customization
  • Integrate with other AVEVA Plant interface products & applications.
Advantages of PDMS :-
  • To see the actual model of the plant in the software with exact dimensions.
  • To reduce the material from 10% to 30% from the manual calculations of the material of the project.
  • We can save time while designing the project in pdms. Designing project in 2d like AutoCAD taking much more time as compared to pdms.
  • In pdms we check the piping clashes of the piping, equipment and other inter disciplines.
  • Designing is of piping is more accurate. Because we can see all space around the plant.
  • Very less chance of rework, if the designing is done on the pdms. This helps us to save fabrication time on the yard.
  • he accuracy is more in pdms as compared to other 2D software.
  • PDMS can generate the material take off report of each every component in the pdms, which is not possible in 2d software. From the material takeoff report we can get exact quantities of material which are going to use in the plant for fabrication purpose. We can order that material as the material take off reports.
  • From pdms we can run isometric drawing of the piping for fabrication purpose automatically. In AutoCAD isometric drawings are taking too much time.
  • Modification of any pipe, equipment or structure can be done easy as compared to other software.
  • PDMS is user friendly with other software like Caesar II for stress calculations and With AutoCAD to import the data from pdms to these seawares.
  • We can be design supports for piping in the hanger and supports module. Pdms is commands based software. While operating the software we required some command to use the software.

Types of Loads Considered for Piping Stress Analysis

Piping Stress Analysis is the practice and discipline carried out behind the scenes of any piping design project to ensure structural and operational integrity, and optimal design. All piping systems are inevitably subjected to various kinds of loads in their design life cycle. These loads develop stresses in the arrangement. Pipe stress engineers typically analyze such systems for stress using reliable software such as Caesar II to check that the stress levels are within the permissible limits as defined by the codes/standards.  The following are some of the most common type of loads considered during stress analysis:- Wind Load: The majority of all piping system installations are indoors where the effects of wind loading can be neglected. However, there are sufficient numbers of outdoor piping installations where wind loading can be a significant design factor. Wind load, like dead weight, is a uniformly distributed load that acts along the entire length, or ...

What is Piping Engineering and Its Scope in Mechanical Industries ?

Before we Learn about What is Piping Engineering and scope of Piping Engineering In Mechanical Based Industries . First lets Know about What is Pipe and Piping Process ? When a fluid is required to be transferred from one location to other, pipe is required. A pipe is considered as a pressure tight cylinder which is used to convey fluids under pressure through materials of commercially available designation. What is a Pipe ? A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stronger per unit weight than solid members. Piping systems act like a nervous system for the flow of fluid in the huge network of any industry around the globe. What is Piping ? Piping is an assembly of pipe, pipe fittings, valves, instruments and speci...
