Cable is very essential material for ship operation as connecting element for whole electrical facilities of ship. The material cost and installation man-hour increment caused by re-installation is unavoidable if cable route has some problem. The purpose of this study is to suggest methods to implement the cable visualization functionality for verifying whether cable route is accurate or not in design phase. This functionality is conducted by representing color of 3D model for strong visibility by refer to textual cable routing information. The electrical engineer can provide cable route information more accurate and on time for cable installation department. As a result, the material cost and installation man-hour reduce due to decreasing ratio of re-installation.

Hull design data is currently prepared by a 2D CAD system and re-input to 3D CAD systems specialized for detail design or to a structural analysis system. In this paper, sharing design data among different CAD systems has been studied. Based on STEP methodology, a neutral model is generated from 2D AutoCAD drawings. To handle a geometric data of this model, the non-manifold model of ACIS is used because it can support various CAD data representation such as 2D graphic entities, 3D wireframe, 3D surface model, and solid B-Rep/CSG model. It is observed that a mon-manifold model can easily be transformed to a 3-D wireframe model for the hull detail design system AutoDef or a FE model for the structural analysis system Nastran.

In ship building industry, CNC and CAM are mostly applied to NC cutting and manufacturing of propeller and prototype ship model. Herein, prototype ship model is producted by CAD/CAM process. Hull form data is obtained from the ship drawing and used for 3D modeling by CAD software Pro/Engineer. CAD data is transferred into CAM s/w SPEEDplus to perform CNC process and the prototype small ship model is manufactured by CNC machine. To solve data transfer among different systems. IGES and STEP neutral formats are currently used. Herein IGES format is adopted for data transfer between CAD/CAM softwares.

Outfitting system in ship design has huge kinds of standard part. Data base of and automatic design procedure of part master should be included in ship cad in order to reduce the design time. Present study shows an process of part master DB construction of pipe equipments using 3-dimensional CAD environment Attribute and properties of part masters are chosen from JIS standard. As the schema of part masters are stored in data base, 3D geometric model is parsed from the schema.

A comprehensive extension of functions and efficiency of the software system, DS/Block, developed earlier for the purpose of simulation of the motion of a ship block during lifting and turnover operation. A viewpoint change used in 3D-CAD is utilized and saves the time for displays of a series of configurations for the motion. The Euler parameters are adopted to convert 3 rotational degrees of freedom about global coordinate system to those about local coordinate system defined in Pro/ENGINEER. DS/Block provides FEM input data for stress and strain analyses. Several functions are incorporated for user-friendliness. DS/Block is to be tested and installed in a shipyard.

선박의 초기 설계 단계에서는 작업의 용이성과 설계자의 관습 둥으로 인해 선박모델은 통상 2차원 모델로서 표현된다. 하지만 제품의 상세 설계 단계로 넘어가면 부품의 가공정보 도출, 부품간의 간섭확인, 제품의 성능해석의 용이성 등의 이유로 인해 제품 정보는 3차원 디지털 모델로서 표현되어야 한다. 그러나 현재까지 이러한 과정은 설계자에 의해 수작업으로 진행되고 있고 이 과정에서 공기의 지연, 설계자에 의한 해석 및 입력 오류 둥 많은 문제점이 야기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해, Fuzzy 추론 기법을 이용한 2차원 선박 모델의 3차원 디지털 모델로의 자동 변환 기술을 검토한다.

Cables are installed for tens of thousands of connections between various pieces of equipment to operate and control a commercial ship. The correct shortest-route data is necessary since these are complicated cable installations. Therefore, an overfill interval commonly exists in the shortest paths for cables as estimated by Dijkstra's algorithm, even if this algorithm is generally used. It is difficult for an electrical engineer to find the overfill interval in 3D cable models because the occupancy rate data exist in a data sheet unlinked to three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD). The purpose of this study is to suggest a visualization method that displays the cable path and overfill interval in 3D CAD. This method also provides various color visualizations for different overfill ranges to easily determine the overfill interval. This method can reduce cable-installation man-hours from 7,000 to 5,600 thanks to a decreased re-installation rate, because the cable length calculation's accuracy is raised through fast and accurate reviews based on 3D cable visualization. As a result, material costs can also be reduced.

The ship surveyor makes a scheme of reasonable ship operation by examining whether the ship has been properly constructed in accordance with the rule of classification societies and international conventions or whether the facilities of the ship in operation meet the standard stipulated by law. Even though the ship surveyors of classification society generally consist of people who have the skill of design or operation of a ship, it takes a long time to train a surveyor to the maturity level. This paper describes the development of survey simulator based on virtual ship environment that enables the surveyor minimize trial and errors to survey the ships. By using VR(Virtual Reality) based survey simulator, surveyors possibly achieve improvement of competence in survey quality by means of safe and immersive training environment. In order to improve the usability and utility of the VR simulator, the ship 3D model has been generated using 3D CAD model for design and production in shipyard. Through this, we suggested the possibility of consistent use of 3D model as the digital twin of a ship.

Finding the optimum route of ship's pipes is complicated and time-consuming process. Experience of designers is the main tool in this process. To reduce design man-hours and human errors a design expert system shell and a geometric modeler is used to automate the design process. In this paper, a framework of the intelligent CAD system for pipe auto-routing is suggested, which consists of general-purpose expert system shell and a geometric modeler. The design expert system and the geometric modeling kernel have been integrated. The CADDS5 of Computervision is used as the overall CAD environment. The Nexpert Object of Neuron Data is used as the expert system shell. The CADDS5 ISSM is used as the interface that creates and modifies geometric models of pipes. Existing algorithms for the routing problem have been analyzed. Most of them are to solve the 2-D circuit routing problems. Ship piping system, specially within the engine room, is a complicated, large scale 3-D routing problem. Methods of expert system have been used to find the route of ship pipes on the main deck.

선박의 운항 상태를 재현하기 위한 시뮬레이터의 가시화 프로그램은 컴퓨터 그래픽 기법을 이용하여 사용자에게 실제로 선박을 운항하는 현실감을 제공하는 기능을 가져야 한다. 시뮬레이터를 위한 3차원 그래픽의 특성은 실제 상황을 실시간(real-time)으로 재현(15∼30Hz Update rates)해야 하는 기능이 요구되기 때문에 시점 변화에 빠른 그래픽 관련 계산 및 화면 표시에 필요한 시간 제약이 비교적 적은 CAD나 Animation용 3차원 그래픽 시스템과 달리, 시뮬레이션 대상 물체의 운동 상태를 정확히 표현하기 위한 빠른 3차원 그래픽 재현 기능이 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 그러나 현실감 재현의 관점에서 광고 및 영화용 Animation시스템에서와 같은 Poto-Realistic한 현실감 재현 기능도 무시할 수 없는 요소이고, 현재 최신 컴퓨터 그래픽 기술의 발전과 고성능 그래픽 장비의 개발로 빠른 update rate의 현실감 있는 화면 재현이 가능해 지고 있고 이러한 기능의 요구가 점차 높아지고 있다.
