ADT2PDMS - AutoCAD Architecture to PDMS
For your Plant Design you use AVEVA Plant/Marine (PDMS), but for your architectural design you use AutoCAD Architecture (ADT). The challenge that you run into, is to get the data created in AutoCAD Architecture in your Plant Design created in PDMS. Re-modeling is not an option as this is very time consuming and will cost a lot of money.
Our Unitec interface ADT2PDMS makes it possible to intelligently export AEC objects, objects created in ADT, to PDMS. AutoCAD Architecture styles that were used to create the model can be automatically converted or you can assign the styles to match the catalog component of PDMS manually.
The ADT2PDMS interface we developed is especially interesting for architects and engineering contractors, who need to supply models to the leading plant design solution AVEVA Plant/Marine. The conversion is done quick and easy with as a result a high quality model that can be imported into PDMS. Our ADT2PDMS interface is capable of translating practically all AEC objects like slabs, walls, doors windows and openings, but also recognizes complex AEC structural objects like stairs, railings and plates. By using our ADT2PDMS interface we provide you the opportunity to re-use designs and save time & money doing it
Main functionalities
- Retrieval of defi ned AutoCAD Architecture (ADT) styles
- Retrieval of AutoCAD Architecture styles in use
- Confi gurable and automatic mapping between AutoCAD Architecture styles and PDMS catalog components
- Analyzing and automatic creation of generic PDMS elements based on structural AEC objects (members).
- Objects can be created as section elements or using a bounding box representation.
- The end result can be placed in any orientation and position in the PDMS model.
