PEI Civil Software Overview

This online manual refers to the PEI (Civil) module in IMS.

To start:

• First include Civil in the PEI module by ticking Include CIVIL. Note; if unchecked, Civil Equipment will be excluded from the PEI module.
• For simplicity, untick Include PEI so that PEI (Only CIVIL) show.

When PEI is not included, items that are not applicable to CIVIL do not show, e.g. Circuits and Corrosion Loops. (When PEI is also included, it shows PEI (with CIVIL).) 

 Include Civil in the PEI module.
