The best way to do this is to delete PS-9005 at stru level.
At stru level on PS-9004 type in NEW STRU COPY PREVIOUS and enter.
Then rename the new stru as PS-9005 including FRMW,SBFR,PNOD,ALL SCTNS,SUBS,BOX & PVOL.
same format at any other support but with it's own unique number ( PS-9005 ).
Then reposition to suit using by commands or co-ord's
to cut hole in beam
Typical Syntax is:
NEW FITT ZDIST 1000
NEW TMPL
NEW NBOX or NEW NCYL
XLEN 100 YLEN 100 ZLEN 100

Q HREF query branch head reference - ie. Name of item that branch head is connected to
Q TREF query branch talil reference - ie name of item that branch tail is connected to
FLIP CONN flip the current element (so that the ppoint that was the arrive is now the leave) and reconnect it
ARR 3 make the p3 of current element (usually Tee) the arrive ppoint
LEA 3 make the p3 of current element (usually Tee) the leave ppoint
ANG 0 CONN set the angle to zero and connect to the previous item (used for items with different default angles)
ADD ALL WITHIN VOL CE 1000 add all items to the view which are in the box that encloses the volume of the current element +1000mm
MA CE marks CE with its name

to copy a site or zone or structure to another area
you need to create a text output file
to do this hilight the zone or struct you wish to copy then choose Utilities -DB Listings from top menu
change filename to say c:\les1.txt and choose ADD CE
then ok
edit the file in notepad to modify any possible new duplicate names
and top of file change the line to ONERROR CONTINUE
then in PDMS move to heirachy where u want new structure etc… and on command line type $m/ c:les.txt
OR if that doesn’t work
save the file into your PDMS output directory
(to check what the directory is type Q EVAR PDMSUSER
then at command line type $m/%PDMSUSER%/111.txt where 111.txt is the new filename (edited)
to add everything within 2000mm of the current element add all within vol ce 2000
to move item from one zone to another
hilight item to be moved and type var1nam

or search for stru name containing the name Axes Q ALL STRU WI MATCHWILD(NAME,'*AXES*')
to add an element with transparrency and other colour ADD CE COL 2 TRANSL 25
this command adds current element red transparrency 25%
to add sites with name SITE 11……. $m/%pdmsuser%/addsites.txt
the addsites.txt file must reside in your pdms default directory
file consists of following text
var !sites collect all site wi substring(name,1,3) eq '/11' see also word docs…
var !sname eval name for all from !sites
do !i to !sname.size()
add $!sname[$!i]

9/10 to remove a list of sites you don’t need $m/%pdmsuser%/strip.txt
create a txt file called STRIP.TXT in your pdms default dir
file consists of following
rem all site wi match(name, 'AXES') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'AXIS') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'TEST') neq 0
rem all site wi match(name, 'GRIDLINES') neq 0

rename the names in ' ... ' to suit your project names
to create kicker flats around holes
create the hole using Create>Fitting>Single
and choose Hole Penetrations as shown
Change the Desperam numbers
first number is radius
change others numbers to see mods to hole
100 = hole dia
8 = thickness
if thickness is 0 then it makes a clean hole
makes a 100mm dia hole
then hilight the newly created PFIT in the Design
Explorer window and type Q ATT
makes a 106mm dia hole
then pick members to move (make sure your CE is the destination subframe)
markdb 'before'
new sctn copy pre by u100
to do this hilight the zone or struct you wish to copy then choose Utilities -DB Listings from top menu
then in PDMS move to heirachy where u want new structure etc… and on command line type $m/ c:les.txt
where 111.txt is the new filename (edited)
add all within vol ce 2000
include $v1
Q ALL WI MATCHWILD(NAME,'*AXES*')
Q ALL STRU WI MATCHWILD(NAME,'*AXES*')
ADD CE COL 2 TRANSL 25
$m/%pdmsuser%/addsites.txt
see also word docs…
$m/%pdmsuser%/strip.txt
basically the match command looks at the name of the site for the occurance of the
string 'AXES' if it doesn't find this string it returns a value of Zero if it does then it returns
a number corresponding to where it finds the string in the character name ie if a site is
called /SAM-AXES-99 it will return the value 5 so as 5 is neq (not equal to) zero it
removes it from the view.

how to create this sorta pipe by Bob Din
Firstly get the coordinate of the pipe start point !!
Under a piping zone.
Type in the command line
NEW PIPE NAM /XXXX
NEW BRAN NAM /XXXX/B1
HPOS E2000 N3275 U1000 WRT/* change these coordinates to suit your pipe start location

HBOR 200 (bore of pipe at head)
still in the command box.NEW ELB CHOO ALL
(select the elbow)
FCONN
(This will connect it to the pipe head)

(Directs the elbow)
NEW ELB COPY PRE
(Copies the last elbow)
CONN
(connects to last elbow)
Dist 200 (Or whatever distance you need) could also try PLAN U THR ID@ (Then click on the primitive)…(2nd
elbow on the screen shot)
