• State-of-the-art 3D editing features with graphical handles and numeric feedback make design and modification quick and easy.
• The whole model can be viewed by all designers. Work flow functions are optimised for each individual discipline.
• Quick input techniques such as automatic pipe routing and the use of standard assemblies increase productivity.
• Built-in intelligence, combined with configurable rules and associations, ensure that designers are highly productive.
• Design rules created between plant items (for example, to link a range of pipes to a penetration or to correctly locate a piece of equipment over supporting beams) can be rechecked automatically at any time during the design.
• Design and component information from earlier PDMS projects can be re-used or shared across multiple projects. Utilities to change pipe size or specification enable rapid modification to suit new project requirements.
• A general MS Excel import function allows large volumes of external data to be analysed on line and bulk-loaded into the design.
• The standard PDMS design applications can be customised to suit individual industry or project requirements, or to add further design rules or automation into the design process.
• Undo and Redo facilities are widely available. Whole or part projects can be re-wound to any previous state.
• A powerful search tool provides filtered reporting on object information and outputs to a spreadsheet-like 'Grid Control' for easy analysis.

Powerful search functions are provided in PDMS 12
