22、provided by VANTAGEPDMS for the design and documentation of logically interconnectedstructures. It explains the main concepts underlying PDMS and itssupporting applications, and shows how you can apply these to your owndesign projects.The chapters of this guide take the form of a hands-on tutorial e

23、xercisecombined with frequent explanation of the underlying concepts. As youwork progressively through the exercise, you will gain practicalexperience of the ways in which you can use PDMS while learning aboutthe powerful facilities it provides.1.1.1 Intended audienceThis guide has been written for

24、engineers familiar with structural design practices, who may or may not have prior knowledge of computer-aideddesign systems.1.1.2 AssumptionsFor you to use this guide, the sample PDMS project, Project SAM, mustbe correctly installed on your system, and you must have read/writeaccess to the project
