PDMS reference data creation for a typical project - The following list summarizes the approximate time usually needed to create the required catalog items in PDMS. These catalog items are required to facilitate a successful export of Smart 3D model data to PDMS.
-
Catalog equipment (if needed) - Allow 1 day for each template, depending upon complexity.
-
Nozzle data - Depends upon the number of records of nozzle data; easy to create.
-
Piping specifications (data) - Depends upon the size of specification and common parts used within specifications. Can vary from 1/2 to 1 day for each specification when created manually within PDMS.
-
SmartPlant Reference Data (SPRD) to PDMS approach can be considered as one of the solutions.
-
Use a tool on the internet to create specification data.
-
-
Point set and geometry set used by the piping specifications (equal to piping symbols) - Allow 1 day for each point set and geometry set, depending upon complexity.
-
Sections - Allow 1 day for each section type to create catalog.
-
Material - Depends upon number of records; easy to create.
-
Joints specification - Joints references are similar to assembly connections in Smart 3D. Allow 2 to 3 days for each new joint. Generally, PDMS delivered joints should be adequate for a typical project.
