Databases

The overall purpose of PDMS is the controlled creation of a complete three‑dimensional process plant design model using computer‑simulation techniques. The Engineering and Diagrams products enable the creation and control of 2D schematic and conventional engineering to support the 3D model. All information which exists about a design project, whether administrative or technical, 3D or 2D, is stored in a series of hierarchical databases. Use of the various Marine modules allows you to create, modify and extract information from these databases.

The Databases section describes

• The purpose of each type of database.

• How the detailed project information is held in each database.

• How the separate databases are related to each other.
