What are the piping specialty software?
Thread Content
Gentlemen, let’s talk about the software used for piping design in your companies these days – which ones are the most popular? PDMS? PDS? CARSERⅡ? I’d like to learn* about it. Thank you all
CARSERⅡ? It’s not a piping design tool; it’s a stress analysis software. CAD, PDS, PDMS, 3DMAX, SmartPlan, PDSoft, AutoPlant, and SolidWorks can all be used with it
I wonder which one is the mainstream nowadays? I use PDS as well as PDMS; I have worked on several projects with these two software programs. But it is said that PDMS now accounts for 50% of the market. I would like to find out which specific software is the most popular, so as to be prepared for the future.
Does the design institute use Pdmax software now?
Our company uses Cadworx; it’s suitable for creating models of small jacks and small factories – it’s simple and easy to use
Software is just a tool. Is it necessary to learn so many software programs just to be a draftsman? Or is it more important to master knowledge of piping systems? We want to be designers. . .
Friend, I think you should delve into PDS and PDMS – these two are the mainstream piping software available today. They offer not only piping-related functions but also knowledge in areas such as electrical systems, instrumentation, civil engineering, and structure, all of which you can learn from. Large-scale engineering projects use PDS or PDMS, requiring collaboration among various specialties as one team to complete the design. Small engineering projects, such as new construction, expansion, or renovation, can be handled using Cadworx – it’s simple, convenient, and easy to get started with. In my opinion, it is most important to acquire more knowledge about piping, gain more practical experience, and be flexible.
PDS is still used quite a lot, right? I know PDMS, but I’ve never worked on a project with it!
