Structure of PDMS

PDMS comprises these functional parts:

• modules

• applications

A module is a subdivision of PDMS that is used to carry out specific types of operation. The Design module, which is used to create the 3D design model, is covered in this manual.

An application is a supplementary program that has been tailored to provide easy control of operations that are specific to a particular discipline. The applications used in this manual for structural design work are:

• Beams and Columns

• Panels and Plates
