The PDMS_F.DAT file contains complete information of the bolt ident which is referenced
in the PDMS_G.DAT file. Each row will have the modifier as <NEW> indicating that the
data is new. The following is an example of a flange with 4 bolt points.
The following table provides more details about the attributes in the PDMS_F.DAT file.
CATA
|
-
Definition: Component Catalogue elements hold the physical descriptions of both piping and structural
components (Geomsets, Pointsets etc.), and any text used to describe the components
in schedules, on isometrics etc. The elements below CATA will be accessed through
the Specifications.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.Get_PDMS_CATA('I',i.ident)
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
SECT
|
-
Definition: The section under the CATA. Sections and Categories are administrative elements,
which let you segregate particular types of catalogue data into logical parts of the
hierarchy. Sections, which subdivide an overall CATA, are obligatory while Categories,
which subdivide Sections, are optional.

CATE
|
-
Definition: The category of the components under sections. Categories, which subdivide Sections,
are optional but is a recommended practice.
