The PDMS_F.DAT file contains complete information of the bolt ident which is referenced
in the PDMS_G.DAT file. The following is an example of a flange with 4 bolt points.
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_F.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 Levels.
An attribute is always represented with the modifiers <OLD> or <NEW>. <OLD> indicates
that the data is already available in Destinations or created in another file as new
and <NEW> indicates new data. From the following screenshot, the attributes CATA,
SECT, and CATE have the modifier as <OLD> indicating that the data is already available
in Destinations and BTSE, NUMB, BTHK, BLTP, BDIA, BTYPE, and NOFF have the modifier
as <NEW> indicating that the data is new.
The following table provides more details about the attributes in the PDMS_F.DAT file.
|
CATA
|
-
Definition: Component Catalogue elements hold the physical descriptions of both piping and structural
components (Geomsets, Pointsets etc.), plus any text used to describe the components
in schedules, on isometrics etc. It is primarily the elements below CATA which will
be accessed via the Specifications.
-
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
|
|
BTSE
|
-
Definition: Bolting information for a component is stored in the Bolt Set.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.get_pdms_btse(i.ident)
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
|
BLPT
|
|
|
NUMB
|
-
Definition: Bolt Hole Number
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.get_pdms_attr_values(i.ident,'ATTRIBUTE_FOR_BLT_NUMB')
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
|
BDIAMETER
|
-
Definition: Diameter of the Bolt Geometry.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.get_pdms_attr_values(i.ident,'ATTRIBUTE_FOR_BLT_DIA')
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
|
BTYP
|
-
Definition: Bolt Reference.
-
Retrieval Source: PDMS Default
-
Retrieval Method: ATTR_STND_METHOD
|
|
BTHK
|
-
Definition: Bolt Length through the component.
-
Retrieval Source: m_pck_pdms_lookup.get_pdms_attr_values(i.ident,'ATTRIBUTE_FOR_BLT_THKNESS')
-
Retrieval Method: BASE_COLUMN
|
|
NOFF
|
