PDMS Equipment, Piping and Structure Modeling

PDMS is a 3D multi-discipline design software used for modeling plants, equipment, piping and structures. It creates full-size representations and allows for clash-free designs from a multi-user database. The software contains several modules for administration, design, drafting, isometrics, catalogs, properties and lexicon. The drafting module produces 2D drawings and views from the 3D design database. It supports various view types, dimensions, labels and drawing annotations. PDMS enables efficient project deliverable generation directly from the modeled data.
