Repetition
The primitives are composed of PDMS. It is important to understand how the primitive elements are made up of PDMS, read on because in a couple of primitives, a suggestion box and cylinder, and skim through the remainder of Design Reference Manual, Part 3, paragraph 5.2 on page 45 to paragraph 5.2.12, page 57. Also check out the Getting Started with PDMS.pdf page 37-47 to get some information on the PDMS in large. PDFerna include manuals in which PDMS is installed. There are also lots of other manuals, which, although they can be difficult to understand with lots of information.

Repetition: Viktigt
The element's position and orientation element s depends on the hierarchical structure. An element's position and orientation is element s relative to its owners.

A rotation and all it takes to follow.
4
Repetition: WORLD
At the top of the hierarchy are WORLD also abbreviated as / * WORLD, It is the WORLD who owns everything. One can use to move or rotate the elements and have total control of relative position.
5
Repetition: Site, Zone, Equipment och Subequipment
Underworld are Sites which owns the zones in our case takes Equipment Sites, zones, that can be Sub-equipment
These elements can be described as administrative elements, which it uses to divide its data base into logical parts.
For example, a hot Site Equipment, which owns two zones, called Floor 1 and Floor 2.
The zones are then Equipments that can be called things like pump-345, Tank 43, Tank-56, etc.
6
Repetition: Name
You can name the elements Name must be unique Name type with one / first. Ex, / TANK-1 It is customary to just name the specific elements, such as nozzles / nozzle to get their names on the drawings. The names you then give such a pipe is usually in the f form / Equipment Name / Subequipment Namn/Stus1 just to name must be unique.
7
Repetition: Good stuff

CE is an abbreviation for Current Element which refers to the element you have marked the moment. Or had, in dialog boxes tend to read a series of CE ... due to the element you had selected when y you opened the dialog. p g All of PDMS can be done in about 34 different ways Do not use 'x' in the upper right corner to close the dialog boxes, use [ pp g g , [Dismiss] or [ ] [Cancel] ] The "simple CAD" you use X, Y and Z. The PDMS is also EAST, NORTH, UP, or abbreviated as E, N, U. For negative values exist WEST, SOUTH, DOWN or W, S, D. It does not matter what you use, you can even mix the terms, ex. X, N, U WEST 40, Y-500, Z 500. Memory Rule to tie up the bag: NEW YORK. NORTH = Y In the main text used x, y and z You can not undo something you did (almost ...)

Repetition: Navigation in space
If you want to see the 3D view in a specific direction, right click anywhere y p , g y where there is an element, and you may choose from several versions of a pop-up menu. Zoom to Entire Draw List to see everything you have in the Draw List Look> Plan and Isometric to get special views, such as straight North, or ISO 3 You can also change how the controller should work, if it is rotating or panning as you want. Tip: Have mittenknappens function on Rotate and then to pan, click the center button in the direction you want to pan so centered view where you clicked, clicked so continue to click over to the side ...

New Box, Move

Let's make a new box with the following attributes, you have forgotten where to press, scroll back a few pages. X-length 200 Y-length 400 Z-length 170 Now we also change the position from the beginning so we do not have to look for the new box inside the first. It does so by filling out a position in the three "Position" text boxes. To figure out how high up we'll be putting the box, or rather, the box P0, we expect a little math: Big box height / 2 + pyramid height + new box height / 2, which gives 200 / 2 + 50 + 170 / 2 = 235 To complete the 235 "position"-up text box and the [OK]

Measure : Measuring
Now the new box is moved to the edge of the foundation. The end result g should be a distance of 350 mm from edge to edge. We begin with the gauge. Click on the icon that is circled in the picture. Now you g the Measure dialog with y get g Positioning Control box, which can be loose somewhere on the screen or sit it up in the main menu, among the other buttons.
The status line above the graphic display, you can read display what you have your mouse over and it's end or start on the measure to choose. Very important and useful information.
To measure, press the left mouse button on the element you want to measure from, and then release the mouse button when one is above the portion of the element you are interested. Then select the items you want to measure and release the mouse over something interesting ... g
In order to filter the type of points, edges, or elements that should be selectable using, and each of the elements you select checked Positioning Control toolbar. 1) During Ppoint-dropdown list, choose which elements should be placed through the filter. Let it stand at Ppoint 2) The Snap-drop-down list, select each of the chosen marker is stuck, for example, in the middle of a line, but leave it on the snap.

There are lots of commands to navigate the tree using the Command Line> g g We assume that cyli 1 CE. > Next jumps to the elements during CE = cyli 2 > First Member jumps to the first element = dish 1 > Load member the last element of the hierarchy pyramid = 2 > Pre 3 jump three steps up (from smolder 2) = cyli 2 > Next two skips two steps down (from cyli 2) = box 2 > Pre 2 Cyl jumps up two cylinders (from box 2) = 1 cyli > Smolder 2 jumps to the second pyramid (from cyli 1) = smolder 2 > Owner jump to the owner = equi 1 >4 jumps to the fourth member of the Equipment = cyli 2 And a host of other commands to make bigger jumps in the hierarchy that we are not looking at now. 46
Navigation in the hierarchy with the Command Line>

Being able to navigate the hierarchy of text commands are not really necessary necessary. The important thing to remember is > Pre Good to also know are two commands used in previous examples > ID @ Now you are able to select an element in the 3D view > Idp @ Now you can select the P-Point.

Create multiple cylinders

Create new three new cylinders with sizes and positions as shown below.
Diameter 200 Height 100

New small cylinder

Now we will start doing the small cylinders that go around the large cylinder. Start by creating a new cylinder inside the large diameter of 50. You can either use the Create> Copy> Offset or Command Line> > New copy pre-cyl dia 50 Then we move up the small cylinder, then move up the new cylinder so its center lies in the surface of the large cylinder.

Copy Rotate
Highlight the narrow cylinder g g y Copy and Rotate dialog box, open the Create> Copy> Rotate. It has a lot in common with Copy> Offset Help Graphics in the form of a rotation axis plotted. To move it you use Cursor> Element or> PPoint, Point depending on where you want to place the shoulder. Then you can as the Copy window, use the Offset menu to move the axis of rotation as you want. Intersection menu is also used to move the axis of rotation, this may be choosing two elements and seda placed shoulder in the latter elements brypunkt. Although this is "wrt" which works just like the Copy> Offset. y Select, Cursor> Element Click on the large cylinder.

Remember to adjust the camera so y j you have a good view of your model before you press [Apply] because you can not rotate or zoom the Confirm window is up. Angle is the angle between each copy center. Number of Copies, is of course, the p number of copies.
52
New box, with position

Create a new box from the menu. X-length 130 Y-length 400 Z-length 100 This time, we specify a location for the box when we create it. Fill in the "Position" West 500 North 0 Upp 590
This means of course, that the new box P0 will be placed in the specified position, which is derived from the element that is in the "WRT" text box. Nothing we change to this because it is equipmentets ref code. q p

53
Stretch/Trim
Would you change for example the Y-length of the box from y g p g 400 mm to 200 mm so the box will change symmetrically. 100 mm "disappear" on each side. If you want to delete only "100", etc. on one page, or for that matter, add 50mm to use Stretch / Trim The new box as the CE. Modift> Stretch / Trim> and we are six different options to choose from, we will go through on the next page. When you select an option a window will pop up where you can enter how far you want to grow or shrink the element side. You enter a negative number to shrink. g

Try them all on the new box is in the air, except the two with Plin, as we do not have any elements with Pliner.
Then use the Stretch / Trim to place the box on the pyramid.
Or make a entirely new box and place it on top of the pyramid.
55
Rotate, New Cylinder

Create a new cylinder. cylinder Diameter 400 Height 130 Put it up in 1500, so it is not located inside any other elements either 1500 elements, either. Now we will rotate the cylinder so that it "stands up". Orientate>Rotate Rita's not the axis of rotation inside the cylinder, well-Cursor> Elements and click on the cylinder.

Explicit Move forts

Press the mouse pointer on an item, drag around the various points and lines without dropping. Note that in the upper status line it says what you have the mouse pointer above. Release the mouse when you are on vertexten which is marked in the picture (the box is located on a pyramid) A vertex is a corner point. Now, using graphics to be redrawn with the origin at , gg p g the point we have chosen. What also happens is that the "position" in the Explicitdialog is also updated with the coordinates. g p The practice now, is that you can change yourself in the dialog box, ex change Up to 550 and press [Enter] Now is rendered using the graphics on and shows the new position.
58

Now press the mouse button down on the cylinder and the release of its PPoint, which is marked with a pink square in the picture. Again rendered using graphics and position variables are updated. Note the "up" value, to be the 450th Now select the P-Point, which is marked by the black square and is owned by the box. The position is changed, and Up is now 440th Change it to 450, press [Enter] [Apply] [Dismiss]
59
Pins
Now we have a game between the y g yellow cylinder edge y g and the new cylinder. We can easily use the Stretch / Trim fix the game. But instead, we complicate things by using Pins, not because , p g y g , it is practical in this situation but just to go through them. Pins, are using elements that you can use to remember or mark the positions and directions. p There are 10 pieces you can use Pins have no place in the hierarchy p y Select the outer cylinder. > Pin 1 at ce [Enter] [ ] [F8], there will be a small arrow with number 1 starting from P0 of the cylinder. > Q PIN1 [Enter] So we will see Pin 1's attributes in the Command Window

Command Command> Pin 7 copies idp @ [Enter], then press the [Enter] outer P-Point on the cylinder. This will copy the PPoint's attributes to Pin 7, which then has the same position and direction ... > PIN2 at p1 [Enter] creates a Pin in the P-Point 1 and the direction of U, which is the direction of a Pin by default. Change the height of the cylinder to cylinder 245 and is growing equally on both sides. Now, the cylinder may be the right place if we just moved back P-1 Point to the place that pin 2 has (or in this particular example, it is fine with the P-Poin1 it a bit thicker cylinder parts to Pin 2) > Pos p1 at PIN2 [Enter] or Explicit Location dialog box, change the date to P-1 and Point and press the pin second Now the cylinder in place.

Sort Hierarchy
1) Now our hierarchy like the image, all elements are owned by the equi first ) y g , y q

What we are trying to do is to sort it by creating three subequipments and divide the geometry of the Court. It is easiest to build in subequipments from the beginning. Through this exercise we'll do a couple of different ways to move around the elements without having to click on them one by one. g y Create a new equipment and rename it to / PUMP-AA1 Then create three subequipments named the following q p g / PUMP-AA1/FUNDATION / PUMP-AA1/BODY / PUMP-AA1/NOZZLES Now it should look like in picture 2) )

Stand with SUBE / PUMP-AA1/BODY as CE Go to Modify> Hierarchy> Include You can navigate the Include dialog, but the "Members" box can be a bit difficult to use and it is just as easy to walk around in the hierarchy in the Design Explorer. Try clicking on an element in the Design Explorer, so updated Include dialogue, too. If you could not stand / ...

Delete Members
To take now to remove all elements except Nozzle should p we use the Delete> Members> Selection. The beauty of this dialog is that you can select multiple items by clicking on one, hold down the [Shift] and click on y g one and all elements in between are highlighted. So mark as much as you can, and press [OK], so we put up a dialog box for each item where you may answer if you really want to delete, press [Enter] a bunch of times until the issue disappears. Now remove the rest of the primitives that are not Nozzle.
> delete <type> example> delete box to delete the CE removed if there is a box
70
List
We will now make the tiles under the feet of the pump pump, and to make room for it, we will move everything in / PUMP.. / BODY and / PUMP .. / / NOZZLES subequipments. One can move up the subequipmentsen, and all the elements they own are of course, but it can sometimes be impractical to have subequipments who do not share the position with his dedicated equipment. This is so that if you like we did before, to copy or move elements between the different, their relative position in the world is changing. Therefore, we use this function with lists. Lists are a powerful tool to select multiple elements with specific criteria and then work with them. Press the [Create / Modify Lists] button. Lists / Collections window will then up
71
List cont.
To add items in a list, you must first create a list by adding a list to th list. li t t the li t Press the Add> List and you get the Create List dialog box, enter a "Description" on the list, ex. element removal, relocation li t or assdfgg. l ti list df The name is used only to identify the list if you have multiple Now select subequipmenten / PUMP ... / BODY and th f N l t b i t d then from the menu Add> CE Members. Do the same for / PUMP.. / NOZZLES. Now, the list is filled with all elements except the big box with its pyramid. Now enter N t by z 50 in the text box to the left of the [Action] button Then press [Action], and now will PDMS to execute the command b z 50 f each element of th li t d by for h l t f the list.

GMM, select multiple If you just want to move up a few items you can use the GMM and select several by holding down the [Ctrl] and click on the element to move on. As usual, one must however go into the Edit Equipment
73
Lists and selection

A brief look at the selection list. Empty the list of elements, Remove> All Then go to Add> Selection, and Add to List dialog box g , g appears. This is where you can do very sophisticated selection based on attributes or location in space. p A small example. Fill in CYLI in the line of text for "Selection" DIA GT 200 with "Rule"-the text line. CE in the "from Element. Stand so that / PUMP.. / BODY CE [Apply] and the list is populated, [Dismiss] to close the Add to List box. What we do now, is to ask the PDMS select all elements of type cylinder (CYLI) in diameter (DIA) which is greater than (GT) in 200 CE

75
New boxes to the bone

Now create two boxes. boxes X-length 400 Y-length 600 Z-length 50 Now that we have several subequipments, be sure to create them in / PUMPAA1/BODY Place the new boxes are centered over the legs as shown. Tip. If you want to use the P-Points but are unsure of the P-Point instance, the pyramid has been down, you can choose the gauge and just move the mouse with the left button of the P-Point has so it says in the upper status line-aden what number it has . If you use GMM remember that the GMM, beginning is in the P0 of the elements of your choosing.
76
Negative
Now we will create holes in the new boxes. In order to make holes or gouges in the primitives create negative primitives which will be owned by a primitive. In the box where you select what type primtiv can instead choose Solid Negative. Ask one of the newly created boxes which CE and create a negative cylinder y g y with dimensions. Diameter 50 Height 50 g Now comes the negative cylinder that is created in P0 on the box, it will also pop up in hierarchic in the box.

Go to the utilitas> Aid CE Arrow in the main menu and uncheck the "Visible" box. So, an arrow, with direction of the CE's Z-axis to render in 3D view on the basis of P0 for CE.

GMM: Negative transfer

It moves the negatives in the same way that all elements, but it g y , requires even a right click to get down to negative levels in the hierarchy, edit box is the last level you have to click down in. We should position the negative cylinder in one corner, 50 mm from p g y , each edge. 1) After you right-clicked on the hierarchy you choose direct YX p plane with right-click and Align with Feature g g

Mirror
With Mirror mirror to an element, so that , a copy of the element is created on the "other side" mirror. Have negative cylinder CE. g y Start with the Create> Copy> Mirror and Mirror dialog appears, and an auxiliary shaft and the mirror plane is rendered. p Now the mirror plane using an illustration in not quite where we want it. Press the Mirror dialog window's menu Cursor> Elements and click the box by taking the negative cylinder, or pyramid, for example, because their p p parts P0 XY plane. With Cursor menu, move the position of the mirror plane.
81

Then rotate the 3D view so you can see "mirror hand", ie. h h d" i where th mirror copy will come, b the i ill because at dilaogrutan that asks if you want to keep the copy or not, you can not rotate the 3D view.

Equipment Origin. Frdigt!
The pump is now finished, the pump's origin thus equipmentetes position, is now in the middle of the finished pump s origin, position big box. It is more praktistk to have it either in the box, or the intersection of nozzle. To change it go to the main menu in the Modify> Equipment-Origin, where you can then choose, as P Point, P-Point, and then click on a P-Point, now is the origin moved for the Equipment. Check by asking P Point, PDMS after position on a subequipment, which no longer is 0,0,0. 84
