What is PDMS(Plant Design Management System) & Advantages of PDMS ?


Its a product by AVEVA is known as a multi-defined, user-defined, and multi-user software that is used in designing and engineering along with the construction projects. It is a 3D design software that helps the designers to work in a team or alone into their own 3D environment. They can also able to view the designs of others as well.
  • It is a customizable, multi-user and multi-discipline, engineer controlled design software package for engineering.
  • Multiple users or designers can work at the same time.
  • 3D Design Software for plant design from Aveva Plant
  • Fully interactive, color-shaded design setting
  • Positioning & selection of parametric components from a wide-ranging catalogue
  • Status Management function for visual highlighting
  • Configure integrity checking & Clash checking
  • Offers automatic, configurable generation of wide-ranging reports & drawings
  • .NET API & PML for system customization
  • Integrate with other AVEVA Plant interface products & applications.
Advantages of PDMS :-
  • To see the actual model of the plant in the software with exact dimensions.
  • To reduce the material from 10% to 30% from the manual calculations of the material of the project.
  • We can save time while designing the project in pdms. Designing project in 2d like AutoCAD taking much more time as compared to pdms.
  • In pdms we check the piping clashes of the piping, equipment and other inter disciplines.
  • Designing is of piping is more accurate. Because we can see all space around the plant.
  • Very less chance of rework, if the designing is done on the pdms. This helps us to save fabrication time on the yard.
  • he accuracy is more in pdms as compared to other 2D software.
  • PDMS can generate the material take off report of each every component in the pdms, which is not possible in 2d software. From the material takeoff report we can get exact quantities of material which are going to use in the plant for fabrication purpose. We can order that material as the material take off reports.
  • From pdms we can run isometric drawing of the piping for fabrication purpose automatically. In AutoCAD isometric drawings are taking too much time.
  • Modification of any pipe, equipment or structure can be done easy as compared to other software.
  • PDMS is user friendly with other software like Caesar II for stress calculations and With AutoCAD to import the data from pdms to these seawares.
  • We can be design supports for piping in the hanger and supports module. Pdms is commands based software. While operating the software we required some command to use the software.
