Reading 12 manuals is far from learning the content. Unless you are some type of savant.
Without actually putting into practice and gaining actual project experience (doing it once for a tutorial doesn't count) you can not say that you've "learned" 12 manuals worth of information.
I must agree with Crashtested.........
Highlighting the content that exist in the manuals is the first step. The next step is to start a project, build a model and create draft drawings....etc.....as you progress refer to the manuals that you highlighted to provide insight. This has always worked for me.
Right now, I am just starting with PDMS and it's true that it's better to put it into practice.
I have followed the manual but this is just to start. I have taken some p&ID's equipment data sheets from my project and is now doing the equipment modelling. After which, I will start piping and support. I hope I can still do some structural modelling.
I believe it is better to do it this way. Not all the commands was mentioned in the manual and you will encounter these things later on.
All method can be done..... Only thing is... Different kind of guide will cause a different effect...
simple as this.... 1. You want to know what is PDMS actually.... first go to internet/Book and read it your self , Second go to ask person have very very good knowledge in PDMS...
It depends on which kind of manual.
I think that Aveva User Guides are well done.
People attending Aveva Training Courses receives Training Collaterals and Training Manuals where they can find step by step exercises.
References Manuals are more like "dictionaries" like Kimi is saying.
But you approach them in a second stage in order to go more in detail and in deep.
