E3D/Pdms is 3D software which is used for designing oil and gas project, refineries, power plants, chemical and petrol-chemical plants. Pdms software used for 3D designing as well as 2D for producing the piping isometrics, piping general arrangements, equipment layout etc. E3D/Pdms has different module in which different discipline can work simultaneous like piping modeling , equipment modeling, structure modeling, Draft, Isodraft, Multi discipline piping supports, Cable modeling
These below mentions are the pdms modeling commands which are used in Aveva Pdms 12.1. Pdms command are used while do the modeling in pdms software. Pmds software is based on commands based as well as graphics based. With the help of these pdms command, its easy to do the piping modeling, equipment modeling, structure modeling in the 3D pdms model. These are below mention PDMS command helps to speed up work on pdms model.
