Equipment Modeling Using PDMS - Primitives and Templates

The document discusses equipment modeling in PDMS using primitives and templates. There are two main methods - using primitives, which are basic 3D shapes that can be combined and modified, or using pre-made templates that contain grouped primitives. Examples are given of modeling a horizontal vessel with both methods. Primitives include boxes, cylinders, and pipes that can be adjusted as needed, while templates provide standard equipment models that just require inputting dimensions.
