Modules in PDMS
1. Admin module in PDMS

PDMS Project Administration: The Project is a fundamental concept in PDMS, and all
work takes place within a project. Everything that is dened in PDMS ADMIN is specic
to a given project, although it is possible to read databases in another project.
This module is only used by project PDMS administrator to create piping specication
required as per the project material specication.
The following are the key operation in admin module
1. Creation of MDB
2. Creation of DBS
3. Creation of TEAM
4. Creation of users
5. Access control
6. Replication
7. Recongure
8. Communication
9. Backtracking
10. Session control

Monitor allows the PDMS user to enter into a pdms project . This is a real life simulation
of working in a controlled working environment . This feature controls unauthorized
access to the project and also checks the user status for access.
This module gives the project information which has been assigned during the PDMS
project set up. The information like Project, Project name, Project code, Project Number
is available in this module. It also lists the dierent MDB available in the project which
can be used.

3. Design Module in PDMS

This module has dierent sub-modules like General, Equipment, Pipework, Cable Trays,
HVAC Designer, Structures, Design Templates & Cabling System. Each of the submodule is used by the modeler to model or create a graphical representation of the
component required as per design requirement. There are many general commands
and sub-module specic commands which are available to the user in dierent submodule.

4. Isodraft Module in PDMS

ISODRAFT can be used to produce isometric plot les of pipes and networks, from
either the Design or Fabrication databases, to your own required standards. These
drawings can be used for pipe work fabrication, as well as during on-site erection.
The isometrics produced can be fully dimensioned and annotated to ensure that you
nd them easy to use and unambiguous.
PDMS administrator has to create the back-up project template so that all the
isometrics are extracted in the project required. This back-up template is available to
the modeler when he starts extracting the isometrics using the standard isometric
utility.
Using isodraft system isometrics can also be extracted.

Isodraft enables you to do the following

System isometric showing a complete piping network and equipment trim
Automatic spool identication
User dened Drawing Format
Automatic splitting of complex Drawing
Automatic isometric including the associated material list
Standard isometric of pipe zone or spool
5. Draft Module in PDMS

This module is used to extract project general arrangement drawing. Using this module
all discipline including piping, structural, electrical etc. extract all the required general
arrangement drawing. PDMS administrator has to create the back-up project template
so that all the general arrangement drawings are extracted in the project required. This
back-up template is available to the modeler when he starts extracting the isometrics
using the standard isometric utility.
Extacting general arrangement drawing using draft module helps user to use
annotation & tagging as required.

Draft module pdms screen

Draft enables you to do the following
View creation
Dimensioning
Annotating
Labelling
2-D drafting
6. Paragon Module in PDMS

Paragon is used to input and modify the component catalogue stored in the PDMS
Project Database .It is similar to the Manufacturers catalogue which we refer while
conventional design
This module is only used by project PDMS administrator to create dierent catalogue,
section & categories required in the project. PDMS administrator also uses this module
to create project bolt table & connection table (Coco table) as per project specication.

Geometry
Connection information
Obstruction feature
7. Specon module in PDMS

Specon is used to input and modify project specication. This is similar to manual
pipework which assists and constrains the designer in the selection of components
Specon enables you to do the following

Specifying the detail text

Pipng symbol
Catalogue reference
8. Lexocon module in PDMS

Lexicon allows the PDMS Administrator to add new attributes to any element in the
design catalogue or the drawing database. Once dened udas can be accessed in the
same way as the standard attributes
9. Propcon module

This module is used to construct a Properties Database . The database contains data
for use with stress analysis package and safety auditing of all parts of design.The data
structure is designed to provide information suitable for any stress analysis package if
required.
