Equipment modelling

Equipment Modeling
In any project, di erent equipment are required as per the process requirement. These
equipment are general shown in P&ID which speci c symbol. The layout engineer &
designer are responsible for locating all the equipment in the plot plan as per the
process, maintenance, operation & safety requirements. PDMS designer than has to
model this equipment at the location shown in the plot plan. PDMS designer has to
model the equipment as per the mechanical vendor drawing received from static or
rotating department.

Equipment modeling in PDMS can be done by two methods:

Using Primitives
Using Templates

Equipment Modeling Using Primitives

Primitives means di erent shapes or object which can be assembled together to create
a required geometry of an equipment. These primitives can be modi ed to the
required dimensions & orientation. The primitives can be created using

Equipment modeling using primitives

The following primitives are available for equipment modelling in PDMS

So while modelling equipment using primitives you have check the equipment drawing
and decide which primitives are to be used for creating the 3D view of the equipment.

Example of Equipment Modeling Using Primitives:

Equipment modeling a horizontal vessel

The above horizontal vessel can be modeled in PDMS using the primitives shown in the
gure below

Equipment Modeling Using Templates

An equipment template is a collection of primitives that make up the equipment shape
grouped together under a template. There are many templates of standard equipment
available in the PDMS database which can be used depending upon the requirement.

Templates can be created using Create>Standard Equipment

Click on to Properties button in the Create Equipment form. This opens the Modify
Properties form where you can input the dimensions of the equipment as per the
requirement. After completing the inputs of all dimensions click on to OK. Finally click
on to the Apply button in the Create Equipment form, this will create the required
equipment.
