This file contains the geometric information and all the needed references for the
geometric set, point set, data set, and bolt reference array. PDMS/ E3D should have
all the components to load this file.
-
There is no limit for the number of parameters that can be added to the geometric
sets.
-
The hierarchy to add the geometric data is defined as:
CATA > SECT > CATE > SCOM
The format in which details are extracted to the files when you transfer an ident
depends on values defined in the Level column. For PDMS_G.DAT file, by default, CATA
is set at level 1, SECT at 2, CATE at 3, and rest of the attributes at level 4 as
shown in the following screenshot.
You can customize the Levels.
An attribute is always represented with a modifier as <OLD> or <NEW>. <OLD> indicates
that the data is already available in Destinations and <NEW> indicates new data. In
the following screenshot, CATA, SECT, and CATE have the modifier as <OLD> indicating
that the data is already available in Destinations and GTYPE, and GMRF have the modifier
as <NEW> indicating that the data is new.
The following table provides details for the attributes such as retrieval source available
in PDMS_G.DAT file.

Details
|
CATA
|
-
Definition: The name for the Catalogue world. CATA is the highest-level element of the Catalogue
hierarchy. All elements referred to in a specification must exist within a CATA hierarchy,
although elements may exist within a CATA, which are not referred to by a specification.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.Get_PDMS_CATA('I',i.ident)
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
SECT
|
-
Definition: The section under the CATA. Sections and Categories are administrative elements,
which let you segregate particular types of catalogue data into logical parts of the
hierarchy. Sections, which subdivide an overall CATA, are obligatory while Categories,
which subdivide Sections, are optional.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.Get_PDMS_SECT(cc.commodity_id)
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
CATE
|
-
Definition: The category of the components under sections. Categories, which subdivide Sections,
are optional but is a recommended practice.
-
Retrieval Source: Get_CATE
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
SCOM
|
-
Definition: The piping components defined under the category.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.get_pdms_scom(cc.commodity_id,i.ident)
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
GTYPE
|
-
Definition: The generic types that are defined under the Piping Components.
-
Retrieval Source: Get_GTYPE
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
GMREF
|
-
Definition: Reference to a 3D Geometric set element defined within PDMS/ E3D. GMSET (3D Geomset)
is a grouping of 3D primitive elements, defining the dimensions, orientation and obstruction
geometry of each primitive. The default value for these properties should be set to
“Nulref”. It can be mapped it to the respective sets within PDMS/ E3D, if the data
for these sets are not maintained in SRD.
-
Retrieval Source: PDMS Default
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
PTREF
|
-
Definition: Reference to a 3D Point set element defined within PDMS/ E3D. PTSET (3D Pointset)
is a definition of the position, direction, connection type and bore of a Component’s
P-points, to be used by DESIGN, ISODRAFT, etc. The default value for these properties
should be set to “Nulref”. It can be mapped to the respective sets within PDMS/ E3D,
if the data for these sets are not maintained in SRD.
-
Retrieval Source: PDMS Default
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
DTREF
|
-
Definition: This procedure has three output parameters that are the result fields. The default
value for these properties should be set to “Nulref”. It can be mapped to the respective
sets within PDMS/ E3D, if the data for these sets are not maintained in SRD.
-
Retrieval Source: PDMS Default
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
PARAM
|
-
Definition: Reference to a dataset element. DTSET (Dataset) is a grouping of DATA elements,
holding any catalogue data not stored more specifically elsewhere and which is required
for use in DESIGN or DRAFT. For example, the cross-sectional area of a structural
steel member calculated from its parameterized dimensions. The default value for these
properties should be set to “Nulref”. It can be mapped to the respective sets within
PDMS/ E3D, if the data for these sets are not maintained in SRD.
