• AVEVA PDMS's Equipment functions build 3D models for all kinds of plant items, from pumps and exchangers through to complex items such as reactor vessels and compressors. They are used in all kinds of layout studies, arrangement drawings and connectivity or clash checks.
• Any level of detail can be modelled.
• 3D CAD models can be imported via translators.
• Scanned models of 'as-built' equipment can be referenced. (See AVEVA Laser Model Interface for more information about laser scanning.)
• Multiple graphical representations are available, so that spaces required for key maintenance activities can be visualised and clash-checked during layout and design.
• To create an equipment item in the design, the relevant template is selected and the required parameters are defined.
• Equipment templates allow complex parameterised design configurations to be defined so that they can be quickly and easily re-used, even across multiple projects.

A typical PDMS equipment model

• Equipment items include 'intelligent' connection points, with relevant attributes, for the connection of associated piping, ducting, instrument and electrical systems.
