【2026 Design Software】New methods for setting SCH and mm wall thicknesses, detailed in E3D/PDMS detail text
Thread Content
In PDMS versions 11.6 and earlier, there was no very good solution for specifying wall thicknesses in the descriptions of fittings related to the pipe schedule; many people still used the old method, which involved writing down the wall thickness or pipe schedule number for each fitting in its description. ) or those very complex expressions in the form of iftrue statements for oil and gas storage and transportation networks. In PDMS versions after 12.0, it is possible to use the Wall thickness table to associate wall thicknesses with SPEC through the Pipe data table. By using this method to associate with the pipe wall thickness table, fittings of the same material can be represented with just one parametric description, regardless of their specifications. The specific writing format is as follows:
The following (3D design software commonly used in the chemical and petrochemical industries) are for reference only:
