SDNF2PDMS - The translator for Structural Designs

Within many companies Plant Design and Structural Design are often different disciplines and sometimes even separate departments. To re-use your structural design is, in many cases, diffi cult to achieve and what happens is that the structural design is re-created instead of re-used.

The SDNF2PDMS interface is developed to overcome this issue; it is aimed to create input data fi les for AVEVA Plant/Marine (PDMS). The input data fi les that the interface creates are based on the neutral SDNF format (Steel Detailing Neutral Format), this way the data can be exchanged effectively between the Structural Design and PDMS. The interface supports the standard formats SDNF 2.0 and 3.0.

The SDNF fi les that are converted into PDMS still hold the information that was used to build the Structual model. Therefor the SDNF2PDMS interface can re-build the Structural model including necessary information like profi le type and size, which instantly enables you to make changes to the Structural model in AVEVA Plant/Marine when necessary.
