You need to contact AVEVA. Their software cannot be downloaded or purchased via the Internet not even at AVEVA’s website. Anyone wanting to purchase or evaluate the software must contact their AVEVA Sales Office in their region.

We all know that AVEVA’s price structure varies from “list price” to “a negotiated rate” depending on volume, committment, etc. Each firm handles that aspect.

The software would be very very diffucult to just install, read the manuals and then learn. There is alot of things “not” in the manual. The manual provides hints, suggestions and examples but not step-by-step. If you are/can be in the USA, then there are several certified training solutions. Contact me directly for some solutions. Overseas, you should look at Aveva’s Offices.

As for pipingguy’s statement that AutoCAD/Microstation will win out is a little optimistic. PDS/PDMS/SmartPlant are what all major firms are using or going to. Smaller Firms are using REBIS/CADWORX and a few are using Plant4D. Yes, these smaller packages use AutoCAD/Microstation but they also cannot produce the performance. You need the right tool for the right project. Some require heavy weight like PDMS and some require standard weight like REBIS. Most firms have several different solutions in-house.

I posted the Stud Bolts & Nuts Wt = 1839.16lbs
The StudBolt Size is 3.1/2″UNC x 2′-2 1/8″ Long.
This is out of ASME/ANSI B16.5 1988

Note:
Where hydraulic bolt tensioning equipment is used add 1.5x times the bolt diameter to the lenght listed above.

Hope this is what you are looking for

The conversion from AutoPLANT/REBIS/Bentley to AVEVA PDMS is not horrible but brings with its own set of chalanges. PDMS is not a AutoCAD or Microstation based product. It has its own modeling engine, draft engine and isometric engine all within its self. After using REBIS, Plant-4D, Pro-Pipe, and PDMS…PDMS is a far superior product for alot of reasons. It is 100% solid modeling not wireframe. It is 100% multi-user without “referecing” other drawings in just to see what is in the area. You spend more time modeling and less time “drafting”. I can go on and on. Let me know if you want to know more about PDMS.

Also, We will be looking for designers in KC probably before the end of 2006. Send me PM and we can talk. We are will also be providing basic PDMS training as required.
