Pipework Modelling
PDMS
Pipe routing is probably the activity that consumes most time on any large
project and it is also one, which causes the most problems. Pipe routing in
PDMS has always been one of the major strengths of the system, as you will
discover in this module.

P-points
When you define piping components in PARAGON, you must remember the following
rules so that ISODRAFT can produce isometrics correctly:
__ P0 is automatically set and defines the origin of the component.
__ For two-way components, the arrive and leave p-points must be numbered P1 and
P2 (not necessarily in that order). For two-way valves, the spindle direction must
be indicated by P3.
__ For three-way components, the offline leg must be indicated by P3. The spindle
direction for three-way valves must be specified by using a p-point greater than P3,
which must have its bore unset.
__ For four-way components, the two straight-through flows must have p-points
P1/P2 and P3/P4. The spindle direction for four-way valves must be specified by
using a p-point greater than P4, which must have its bore unset.
__ For eccentric reducers without a connection point, the flat side must be
indicated by P3. Eccentric reducers with a connection point must use P3, with
a valid bore set, to indicate the connection point and must use P9, with bore unset,
for orientation of the flat side.
__ For U-bends (defined as bends of more than 135 degrees), the p-points must be
set
as shown for each symbol.

PDMS Data Integrity Checker (DICE)

Utilities->Integrity Checking
The main checks are:

Is the complete data hierarchy intact? For example, do all lists contain all of
the members that they should contain?
Are all element names correctly stored and accessible?
VANTAGE PDMS
20

Are references to other databases valid? If not, a warning will be output.
The most likely cause is a deleted database.
The most probable causes of database corruption are:
An error in the network, resulting in loss or nonarrival of data.
An error on copying databases. In particular, this can lead to truncated
databases.
Insufficient disk space or storage quota, so that the project area fills up
while a database is being updated.
Deletion of a DB which is referenced from another DB.
Reconfiguration of a DB without a corresponding update of all DBs which
have references pointing into it.
An undetected fault in the PDMS Database Management software
It is recommended that DICE checks should be run frequently, for example,
before a daily backup is taken. DICE should be run at least once a week.
