Repetition

The primitives are composed of PDMS.


It is important to understand how the primitive elements are made up of
PDMS, read on because in a couple of primitives, a suggestion box and
cylinder, and skim through the remainder of Design Reference Manual, Part
3, paragraph 5.2 on page 45 to paragraph 5.2.12, page 57.

Also check out the Getting Started with PDMS.pdf page 37-47 to get some
information on the PDMS in large.

PDFerna include manuals in which PDMS is installed.

There are also lots of other manuals, which, although they can be difficult to
understand with lots of information.

Repetition: Viktigt

The element's
element s position and orientation
depends on the hierarchical structure.
An element's
element s position and orientation is
relative to its owners.

Repetition: WORLD

At the top of the hierarchy are WORLD


WORLD, also abbreviated as / *
It is the WORLD who owns everything.

One can use to move or rotate the elements and have total control of
relative position.

Henrik Landstrm | henrik@landstroms.se

Repetition: Site, Zone, Equipment och Subequipment

Underworld are Sites


Sites, which owns the zones
zones, in our case takes Equipment
that can be Sub-equipment

These elements can be described as administrative elements, which it uses


to divide its data base into logical parts.

For example, a hot Site Equipment, which owns two zones, called Floor 1
and Floor 2.

The zones are then Equipments that can be called things like pump-345,
Tank 43, Tank-56, etc.

6
Henrik Landstrm | henrik@landstroms.se

Repetition: Name

You can name the elements

Name must be unique

Name type with one / first. Ex, / TANK-1

It is customary to just name the specific elements, such as nozzles / nozzle


to get their names on the drawings.

The names you then give such a pipe is usually in the form
f
/ Equipment
Name / Subequipment Namn/Stus1 just to name must be unique.

All of PDMS can be done in about 34 different ways

Do not use 'x' in the upper

g boxes,, use [[Dismiss]] or [[Cancel]]

The "simple CAD" you use X, Y and Z. The PDMS is also EAST, NORTH, UP, or abbreviated as
E, N, U. For negative values exist WEST, SOUTH, DOWN or W, S, D.

It does not matter what you use, you can even mix the terms, ex. X, N, U WEST 40, Y-500, Z 500.

Memory Rule to tie up the bag: NEW YORK.

NORTH = Y

In the main text used x, y and z

You can not undo something you did (almost ...)

New Box, Move


Let's make a new box with the following attributes, you have forgotten where to press,
scroll back a few pages.
X-length 200
Y-length 400
Z-length 170
Now we also change the position from the beginning so we do not have to look for the
new box inside the first. It does so by filling out a position in the three "Position" text
boxes.
To figure out how high up we'll be putting the box, or rather, the box P0, we expect a
little math:
Big box height / 2 + pyramid height + new box height / 2, which gives 200 / 2 + 50 +
170 / 2 = 235

has been down, you can choose the gauge
and just move the mouse with the left button
of the P-Point has so it says in the upper

If you use GMM
GMM, remember that the

Now we will create holes in the new boxes.
In order to make holes or gouges in the primitives create negative primitives
which will be owned by a primitive.

Go to the utilitas> Aid CE Arrow in the main menu

So, an arrow, with direction of the CE's Z-axis to
render in 3D view on the basis of P0 for CE.
