Development of Automatic Pipe ISO-Drawing and BOM Generation System

배관 제작, 설치 ISO 도면 및 BOM 정보 자동 생성 시스템 개발

DSME has successfully developed the unified CAD system (DACOS) for the commercial ship based on its design know-how accumulated for several years. Currently, DSME is expanding the unified CAD system to plant and special ship design. In this paper, the development of pipe design, especially, isometric drawing and BOM(Bill of Material) generation will be introduced isometric drawing and BOM generation are major activities of pipe design in shipbuilding. The drawing is used for pipe construction and installation while the BOM is used for purchasing and manufacturing pipe line. These activities are time-consuming and tedious jobs done by designers because the drawing should be generated as a non-scaled symbolized drawing that can be easily understood and the BOM information should be extracted without mistake. Therefore, we implemented automatic isometric drawing and 80M generation system for pipe design. In this paper, the developed system and the used technology will as well be introduced and a design output in a plant project as an applied example will be illustrated.
