The system is capable of both.
It shows a PERT diagram of activities when you ask for it.
In the bar chart mode CPM is used and depends on how effectively you build the relationships.

Primavera uses CPM method for calculation.
Yet it can present the network diagram using either PERT or Bar Chart but they are considered as a way for presentation not calculation

Thank you Binil for your valuable question , both CPM and PERT is used by the program to build the activities net work on which you can be able to deal with all the data of the project and use the trace logic technique to develop good smart relationships between the activities.
Thank you .
