Basic PDMS Design Draft og Isodraft
What it's about	A basic practical introduction to the use of PDMS for equipment and piping design, steelwork design, making Reports, Drawings og Isometrics
Who it's for	Engineers who will be designing and constructing 3d computer models of equipment, pipes and steelwork - and be able to finish the documentation such as drawings and isometrics. Other users who need a solid grounding in PDMS before taking on responsibility for other aspects of PDMS and its family of related products.
Duration	10 days (2 weeks) This course is really a combination of a piping & equipment course, a steel course, a drawing production course and the Isometric course 1,5 days Equipment Design 3 days Pipe Design 2,5 days Steel Design 2 days Drawing Production 0,5 day Isometric 0,5 day presentation of other modules e.g. Review Normal the single courses takes 17 days. That means this training will be a bit harder than the normal training courses, but we try to cover the same topics.
Topics covered	Gives a solid grounding in PDMS: Equipment and Piping Design The principles of a database within the PDMS design hierarchy. The way catalogues, specifications and design data link together. Basic use of a workstation, mouse, keyboard (only if required). Using the graphical user interface to select options from the menus. Building up a model from real engineering drawings by creating, orientating and positioning equipment using any of the mixture of design primitives. This will involve the following practical stages: Routing simple pipes (basically orthogonal routes) and 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, and illustrating the scope for variation in selection and report format. Checking the model for any interference (Clash Detection), producing error reports and interpreting any errors found and making the necessary modifications. Understanding the differences between on-line and command line Clash Detection, and how and when to use each type. PDMS Steel Design Regular steelwork, columns and beams, nodes, joints and fittings. Platforms: Access stairs & Ladders Panels & Plates Draft 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 plotfiles, 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. Isometric 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 and 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.
