Applying the vantage PDMS to jack-up drilling ships

Abstract

The plant design management system (PDMS) is an integrated application which includes a database and is useful when designing complex 3-D industrial projects. It could be used to simplify the most difficult part of a subsea oil extraction project—detailed pipeline design. It could also be used to integrate the design of equipment, structures, HVAC, E-ways as well as the detailed designs of other specialists. This article mainly examines the applicability of the Vantage PDMS database to pipeline projects involving jack-up drilling ships. It discusses the catalogue (CATA) of the pipeline, the spec-world (SPWL) of the pipeline, the bolt tables (BLTA) and so on. This article explains the main methods for CATA construction as well as problem in the process of construction. In this article, the authors point out matters needing attention when using the Vantage PDMS database in the design process and discuss partial solutions to these questions.

摘 要

Vantage PDMS 为一体化多专业集成布置设计数据库平台, 可以进行工程设计最难点—管道详细设计, 并可以进行设备、 结构、 暖通、 电缆桥架、 支吊架各专业详细设计, 同时可以实现各专业间充分关联联动. 该文主要研究 Vantage PDMS 软件数据库在自升式钻进船项目配管方面的应用, 其中主要包括管道元件库、 管道等级库、 螺栓库等方面的内容. 文章对建库的主要方法进行阐述, 对建库过程出现的问题进行研究, 总结出 Vantage PDMS 软件数据库在工程设计中的注意事项, 并探讨了部分问题的解决方法.
