PDMS working steps
Thread Content
For example, if you are given a device and asked to create the piping diagrams using PDMS, what should be the best sequence of steps for someone who is new to PDMS? Thank you
Uh, is there no one here? ? ? Top top top
This is a rather big question; it’s difficult to answer.
As you said, as long as you complete the piping in the construction drawings, that means the project itself has already been set up (the ADMIN module), and the component library is ready (including the piping component library, grade library, COCO table, UNITS, and bolt table). In addition, there is also the nozzle grade information (via the PARAGON module), and the equipment has been modeled as well (in the EQUIP section of the DESIGN module). Then you can simply model the pipes in the PIPEWORK section of the DESIGN module. If the preliminary work is not done properly, pipeline modeling becomes quite difficult.
Same question; I’m also new to this field
In terms of the general steps, is the first step to create a database? This includes aspects such as structure, equipment, and pipelines; only after construction is completed can the next design steps be carried out, such as selecting options from a database?
Initially, the component library needs to be improved; larger companies should have dedicated personnel in charge of maintaining it. When designing a lifting mechanism, you first need a structure plan, that is, drawings of the base, as well as drawings of the equipment. These are used to create a model based on the actual dimensions. For equipment, the most important aspects are its external dimensions and the location of the nozzles; after that, the pipes can be modeled (based on the process flow diagram). Once everything is in order, pipeline diagrams can be prepared. It is important to ensure that the nozzles of the equipment are assigned unique numbers, and that the pipeline numbers are also unique; in addition, all external interfaces of the skid units must be clearly marked.
