PDMS - EQUIPMENT DESIGN

The Equipment functions build 3D models for all kinds of plant items, from pumps and exchangers through to complex items such as reactor vessels and compressors. Any level of detail can be modelled.

• 3D CAD models can be imported via translators, including AVEVA Mechanical Equipment Interface.
• Laser scanned models of 'as-built' equipment can be referenced. (See AVEVA Laser Model Interface for more information.)
• Multiple graphical representations are available, and obstruction volumes may be added so that spaces required for maintenance access can be visualised and clash-checked during layout and design.
• Equipment templates allow complex parameterised design configurations to be defined so that they can be quickly and easily re-used, even across multiple projects.
• Equipment items include 'intelligent' connection points, with relevant attributes, for the connection of associated piping, ducting, instrument and electrical systems.
