PDMS (Plant Design Management System)

PDMS as it is known in the 3D CAD industry, is a customizable, multi-user and multi-discipline, engineer controlled design software package for engineering, design and construction projects in, but not limited to, offshore and onshore oil & gas industry, chemical & process plants, mining, pharmaceutical & food industry, power generation and paper industries.


PDMS includes comprehensive functions for all aspects of 3D plant design. Select from the list to learn more.
  • A fully interactive, intuitive 3D plant design environment, with a Microsoft Office-style user interface based on .NET technology
  • Hundreds of designers can work concurrently on a project, in a fully controlled manner, with visibility of the entire design at all times.
  • Designers progressively create a highly intelligent 3D design by selecting and positioning parametric components from an extensive catalogue.
  • Clash checking and configurable integrity checking rules help a designer create ‘right first time’ design and enable effective overall design quality assurance.
  • A configurable Status Management function provides visual highlighting and clear reporting of design maturity status of PDMS objects.
  • Highly configurable, automatic generation of a wide range of reports and drawings direct from the PDMS database
  • AVEVA PDMS is highly configurable and includes both a powerful programmable macro language (PML) and a .NET API to customise the system and automate key tasks.
  • PDMS integrates with all other AVEVA Plant applications and interface products to form the most complete and configurable 3D plant design solution for the power and process industries.
