PDMS COMMANDO LAUT

Disini saya coba untuk menurunkan beberapa comment pada PDMS module yang selama ini saya search di Internet dan mudah-mudahan bisa membantu teman-teman untuk berbagi ilmu dengan teman-teman yang lain.
Karena kebanyakan orang Indonesia belum pandai mempelajari PDMS.
Kalau kebutuhan di Malaysia, setiap orang engineer harus bisa /tahu apa itu PDMS baik itu piping engineer, mechanical engineer atau structure engineer dan bila dia seorang designer , mutlak dia kuasai PDMS.

Sorry PDMS Command di bawah ini tidak saya rapikan karena kalau saya harus rapikan sudah barang tentu perlu sekitar 4 jam untuk men update nya. sedang masih banyak lagi cerita PDMS yang mau saya share.

Creating Elements



NEW ZONE /Z1

The Zone element is created as a member of the current Site. The Zone is now the current element. Its NAME attribute is /Z1.



NEW TEE

If the current element is the fourth member in a Branch member list, the Tee element is inserted as the fifth member. The Tee is now the current element.



NEW EQUIP /1301

If the current element is a Box owned by another EQUIP which is Member 2 of Zone /Z1, the new Equipment element is inserted as member 3 of the Zone and named /1301. The new Equipment is now the current element.



NEW GASKET

If this command is given when the current element is the Branch Head, the Gasket is inserted as the first member of the Branch and is now the current element.



NEW VALVE BEF (At a Branch Component)

The Valve will be inserted before the current element in the current list.



NEW ZONE BEF 2 (At Site level)

The Zone will be inserted before member 2 of the Site.



NEW BOX (At a CYLI which is a member of a STRU)

NEW BOX (At a SUBS which is a member of a STRU)

A new BOX will be inserted as a member of the SUBS (at the top of the member list).



NEW INST SPREF /Tag No

Add Instrumentation according tag No.





Copying and Renaming



COPY MEM OF /EQUIP10 (At another EQUIP element.)

current element. The attributes of the current element do not change.



COPY /P1/PIPE RENAME /P1 /P2

The attributes and offspring of /P1/PIPE are copied into the current element. Where /P1

is found as the name or part of the name, it is renamed as /P2 in the current element and

its offspring.



COPY MEM 4 TO 10 OF PREV BRAN

The attributes and offspring of the fourth element in the current element’s member list

are copied into the tenth element in the member list of the previous BRAN element in

the current member list.





Naming Design Elements



NAME /ZONE5D

The current element is given the specified name provided it has not been used elsewhere.



UNN

The current element loses its name (it is still identifiable by its automatically allocated reference number).



REN ALL /Z1 /Z2

All occurrences of /Z1 in the names of the current element and its offspring will be changed to /Z2.





Locking Elements Against Alteration and Deletion



Keywords: LOCK UNLOCK

Description: Locking a design element prevents it from being modified or deleted. The LOCK command allows either a single element to be controlled, or all its offspring too. (A complete Site can be locked if required.) This provides you with personal security control over your area of work.

(General security restrictions affecting the whole Project are established in the ADMINISTRATION module of PDMS.)





Examples:

LOCK ALL

The current element and all its offspring are locked.



UNLOCK

The current element is unlocked.





The Position and Orientation Attributes





Q POS Returns the current element position in its owner co ordinates

Q ORI WRT SITE Returns the current element orientation in Site coordinates



Q POS IDP@ WRT WORLD

Returns the position of the Design point hit by the cursor in World coordinates





CHECK CE

Check the current element for data inconsistencies.



ADD CE

Add the current element to the display.





Going to an Implied Tube or Rod

Keywords: IARRIVE ILEAVE HEAD TAIL TUBE ROD



Description: You can navigate to implied tube or rod within a branch or hanger (although if the derived length is less than 1mm, the system does not consider it to exist).

To make an implied rod or tube the current element, you must also indicate whether the head, tail, arrive or leave tube or rod is intended.



Example:

IARRIVE TUBE OF /PIPE1

Go to arrive of implied tube of /PIPE1.



Other Navigation Commands

Keywords: FIRST LAST NEXT PREVIOUS MEMBER END TYPE



Description: Navigate to the specified position in the members list. Most can be

used with the OF keyword to go to members of other elements.



Examples:

FIRST BRANCH OF ZONE /Z25A

LAST NOZZLE OF PREVIOUS 3 EQUIPMENTS

FIRST ZONE OF /SITE 5

PIPE 2 OF /Z100A

ELBOW 1 OF NEXT BRANCH

























Connecting the Head or Tail



Keywords: CONNECT

Description: The CONNECT command, when applied to Branches (or Hangers), sets up the Head or Tail to match exactly the item to which it has been connected. For example, if the Head is connected to a 3-inch flanged-faced nozzle at E3000 and pointing North, the CONNECT command will set all the Head attributes (HBOR, HCON, HPOS and HDIR) to corresponding values. In addition, the Head and Nozzle are logically ‘tied together’ by two attributes which ‘point’ to each other - the Nozzle CREF will point to the Branch, and the Branch HREF (Head Reference) will point to the Nozzle.

The final effect of CONNECT, which only applies to Heads, is that the Tube (or Rod) that may be required between the Head and the first Component is automatically selected.

A Branch Head or Tail can connect to the following items:

• A Nozzle

• The Head or Tail of another Branch

• A ‘free’ p-point of a multi-way Component in another Branch (e.g. a Tee)



Examples:

CONN PH TO /1205-N5 (Where /1205-N5 is a Nozzle)

The Head attributes of the current element (Branch or Hanger) are set to match the position, orientation, bore and connection type of the Nozzle (see Figure 3-1).



CONN PT TO LAST MEM

The Tail attributes of the current element will be set to match the Leave Point of the last Component (that is not an Attachment point).



CONN PT TO /100-A8/T2 (Where /100-A8/T2 is a TEE)

The Tail attributes of the current element will be set to match the free p-point on the specified TEE (see Figure 3-1).



CONN PT TO P4 OF /VF205 (Where /VF205 is a VFWA.)

The Tail attributes of the current element will be set to match the specified



CONN PH TO PT OF /100-A8/1 (Where /100-A8/1 is another Branch)

The Head attributes of the current element will be set to match the Tail of the specified Branch.





CONN PH TO ID NOZZ@

As in the first example, but with the Nozzle identified by cursor selection. Note: Before a CONNECT command is given, the Branch Specification attribute must be set. Connection to elements not within the designer’s jurisdiction (Read Only) will cause an inter-DB connection macro to be created automatically (see Part 1 of the DESIGN Reference Manual).













The Head or Tail Connection Reference Attribute



Keywords: HREF TREF Description: These attributes hold the name of the element to which the Branch or Hanger is connected. They are usually set automatically as a result of a CONNECT PH (or PT) command, but they may also be set explicitly. When they are set, the corresponding attribute (CREF, HREF or TREF) of the item connected to is reset so as to point back to the Branch or Hanger.



Examples: TREF /PIPE2 HEAD Sets TREF of current element to point to Head of /PIPE2 and setsHREF of /PIPE2 to point back to the current element. HREF NULREF Unsets HREF; i.e. disconnects Head from any other element.





Positioning Head or Tail in Free Space



Keywords: HPOS HBOR HDIR HCON TPOS TBOR TDIR TCON

Description: It is sometimes necessary to terminate a Branch (or Hanger) in free space; for instance, where a Branch reaches the Battery Limits. Where this termination ends with a length of TUBE (or ROD) and no Head or Tail connection can be made, it is necessary to set the Head/Tail attributes individually.

Examples:

HPOS E10 N5 U5

The Head position is set as specified in owner coordinates.

HDIR N WRT WORLD

The Head direction is set as specified in World coordinates.

HBOR 80

The Head Bore is set as specified.

HCON OPEN

The Head Connection Type is set as specified.

Note: If a data consistency error is to be avoided, the HCONN or TCONN of a free end must be set to one of the following: OPEN, CLOS, VENT, DRAN





Head or Tail Positioning Using End Components

Keywords: POSITION PH PT THROUGH DISTANCE

Description: These commands allow the Head or Tail position to be set by using the end Component in that Branch or Hanger. This will normally occur when the Tail is to finish with a piece of variable length Tube. This command treats the Tail position as a pseudo-Component and places it at the specified point along the previous Component’s Leave p-point direction. If the Head is to be positioned in this way, Backwards Routing Mode must be in force.

Examples:

POS PT DISTANCE 1000 The TPOS attribute will be set to the position 1000 from the leave p-point of the last Branch member (i.e. previous Component). POS PH THROUGH E3000 (In BACKWARDS mode) The HPOS attribute will be set to the intersection between the line from the Arrive p-point of the Previous Component and the perpendicular plane through E3000 N0 U0 in owner coordinates.



Moving the Head or Tail



MOVE PT DIST -2000

Moves the Tail by 2000 from its current position, in the opposite direction to PT.



MOVE PT BY E2000 S500

Moves the Tail by 2000 East and 500 South from its current position
