Design Module is Main constructor Module in which Complete Chemical Process Plant is 3D modelled. User selects required components from available specifications and catalogues and positions them as per engineering design. 3D model data is stored in Design database for individual site created. Design Module provides facility to check elements for Clashes, Reporting to produce various design documents for quality checks, Material Takeoff and Preview of Piping Isometrics.
In Design Module, all the Functions related to specific discipline are grouped under Applications such as Equipment, Pipework, etc. User need to Select appropriate Application in order to work, so that relevant Functions for particular discipline will be made available.
Applications in Design Module
1. General
This Application Provides Functions which are common to All disciplines, such as Creation of Site/ Zone, Copying or Deleting Elements.
2. Equipment
This Application Provides Functions which are Useful for Equipment Modeling, such as to Create, Modify Equipment or Primitives.
3. Pipework
This Application Provides Functions which are Useful for Pipe Modeling, Such as to Create, Modify, Connect Pipe or Piping Components.
4. Cable Trays
This Application Provides Functions which are Useful for Cable Tray Modeling, Such as to Create, Modify Cable Trays.
5. HVAC Designer
This Application Provides Functions which are Useful for HVAC Modeling, Such as to Create, Modify HVAC and its Elements.
6. Structures
Structures has Four Applications which are as follows :
I. Beams and Columns
Provides Functions to Create or Modify Sections
II. Panels and Plates
Provides Functions to Create or Modify Panels or Plates
III. Walls or Floors
Provides Functions to Create or Modify Walls or Floors
IV. Access, Stairs and Ladders
Provides Functions to Create or Modify Access, Stairs , Ladders
7. Design Template
This Application Provides Functions to Create PDMS Element using Standard Design Template which already created by Administrator.
8. Cabling System
This Application Provides Functions to Create CableWays, Cables, Assigning Cable Material for Cables.
Before User starts creating or modifying any element, User must have read-write access to that element. if access not provided, user must request administrator for the same.
Following command maybe useful to find out this :
Q DBWRITE
if True - User Has read-write access to Database
if False - User do not have write access, User should request access to Administrator
