The model exchange from CAD system to CAE system in valid and effective manner is the major issue of automatic analysis modelling of ship structure. However, model exchange approaches based on the neutral CAD file have resulted in invalid model exchange that could not properly reflect the characteristics of CAD model and CAE model of ship structure. This paper presents the new approach of n-to-n mapping to exchange ship structure model in heterogeneous CAD/CAE environments. In this study, the common model called 'unified ship model for analysis' to directly extract proper information from different CAD systems for ship structural analysis is proposed. Moreover, a command language based model interfacing technique to construct an idealized model for analysis job is also proposed. The proposed approach has been actually implemented in DSME CAD/CAE environment of ship structure such as TRIBON system, PATRAN system and FLUENT system. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach was verified by applying it to the real analysis project for fore-body of ship and block lifting. This application results show that the proposed approach can be effectively used for heterogeneous CAD/CAE environment.

Nowadays major shipbuilding companies are trying to expand their business not only to shipbuilding but to offshore projects as well. DSME is one of them. DSME is trying to set up a flexible design and construction environment for shipbuilding and offshore construction in a single shipyard. The shipbuilding and offshore projects, however, have their unique technology but they need to be designed and constructed in one site. To support this new requirement, DSME has developed an integrated CAD system for ship and offshore projects. In this integrated design environment, the designers can design commercial ships and offshore projects in a flexible manner. Concurrent design is very important for ship and offshore design. As compared to the complexity of the product, the design period is quite short. In effect, the design system for the ship and offshore project has to support concurrent design. One essential point of concurrent design environment is a product model based design system. DSME has developed and implemented the 3D product model concurrent design environment based on Tribon M3. Tribon is a widely used CAD system in shipbuilding area that is developed by Tribon Solutions. DSME has both customized the Tribon system and developed in-house application systems to support its own design and production procedures. All the design objects are modeled in one common database to support concurrent design and accurate production. The major in-house development focused on the modeling automation and automatic drawing generation. During the drawing generation process many of the additional production information are also extracted from the 3D product model. In addition, several applications and functionalities have been developed to apply the shipbuilding based Tribon M3 system to offshore projects. The development of shape nesting, tubular connection, isometric drawing, grating nesting systems are the typical.

조선소에서 이루어지는 선박 건조는 용접에 의해 수행되고 있으며, 친환경선박에 대한 국제적인 요구에 따라 용접물량은 증가하고 있다. 용접부는 비파괴검사를 통하여 품질을 보증하고 있으며, 검사 정보를 나타내는 리포트는 인력이 설계된 도면을 확인하여 수작업으로 용접검사 리포트가 작성된다. 이 과정에서 소요되는 많은 공수와 인적오류로 인하여 손실이 발생하고 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 본 논문에서는 조선 전용 CAD 소프트웨어를 기반으로 설계된 데이터를 입력하여 용접검사에 관한 리포트가 자동으로 생성되는 시스템에 대하여 다룬다. 개발하는 시스템은 모델링의 도면으로부터 형상 데이터를 분석하여 부재 면의 확장을 통해 용접부를 판단 및 태그 넘버를 생성하고, 용접길이, 두께, 재질 등 검사에 필요한 정보를 자동으로 추출하는 기능을 제공한다. 시스템의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 시스템을 통해 추출된 검사 정보와 모델링 도면을 비교하여 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

When a plant owner requests plant 3D CAD models in the format that a shipbuilding company does not use, the shipyard manually re-models plant 3D CAD models according to the owner's requirement. Therefore, it is important to develop a technology to compare the re-modeled plant 3D CAD models with original ones and to quantitatively evaluate similarity between two models. In the previous study, we developed a graphic user interface (GUI)-based comparison system where a user evaluates similarity between original and re-modeled plant 3D CAD models for piping design at the level of unit. However, an offshore plant consists of thousands of units and thus a system which compares several plant 3D CAD models at unit-level without human intervention is necessary. For this, we developed a new batch model comparison system which automatically evaluates similarity of several unit-level plant 3D CAD models using an extensible markup language (XML) file storing file location and name data about a set of plant 3D CAD models. This paper suggests system configuration of a batch-mode-based comparison system and discusses its core functions. For the verification of the developed system, comparison experiments for offshore plant 3D piping CAD models using the system were performed. From the experiments, we confirmed that similarities for several plant 3D CAD models at unit-level were evaluated without human intervention.

The application of three-dimensional (3-D) CAD has been popularized for design and production and digital manufacturing has been spreading in many industrial fields. By simulation of the production process using 3-D digital models, which are the core of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) system, the efficiency and safety of production are improved at each stage of work, and optimization of manufacturing can be achieved. This paper firstly describes the concept of "simulation based production" in shipbuilding and also digital manufacturing; the 3-D CAD system is indispensable for effective simulation because ship structure is three dimensionally complex. By simulation, "computer optimized manufacturing" can be possible. The most effective fields of simulation in shipbuilding are in jobs where many parties have to cooperate, while existing two-dimensional drawings are hardly observed the whole structures due to interference between structures or equipment of complex shape. In this paper some examples of the successful application in IHIMU (IHI Marine United Inc.) are shown: assembly of a pipe unit, erection of a complex hull block, carriage of equipment, installation of a propeller, and access in an engine room.

조선 해양산업에서 엔지니어링 설계시스템은 사용 데이터의 대량화와 실시간성으로 인하여 이전의 2D CAD(2차원 CAD)의 한계와 문제점에서 벗어나 최근에는 3D CAD(3차원 CAD) 환경으로 발전해오고 있다. 그러나 3D CAD 환경에서는 다양한 엔지니어링 모델 정보와 그래픽 데이터가 늘어남에 따라 서버의 자원 지원에 대한 부하가 크게 발생될 뿐만 아니라, 3D CAD로 제작한 설계 모델을 자유롭게 핸들링 할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 또한 사용자 측면에서는 서버 당 접속 세션이 늘어남에 따라 전반적인 성능저하가 초래된다. 따라서 네트워크 퍼포먼스에 대한 효율적인 협업 환경을 지원하는 엔지니어링 설계시스템의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 높은 그래픽 처리 능력과 공유 기술이 뛰어난 가상화 솔루션 시트릭스 젠앱 6.5(Citrix XenApp)와 강화된 GPU(Graphic Processing Unit) 하드웨어 가속 기술을 적용한 NVIDIA GRID(엔비디아 그리드) K2 솔루션을 적용함으로써 효율적인 엔지니어링 협업 설계시스템을 위한 프레임워크를 설계하고 구현하였다.

An automatic pipe routing system is proposed and implemented. Generally, the pipe routing design as a part of the shipbuilding process requires a considerable number of man hours due to the complexity which comes from physical and operational constraints and the crucial influence on outfitting construction productivity. Therefore, the automation of pipe routing design operations and processes has always been one of the most important goals for improvements in shipbuilding design. The proposed system is applied to a pipe routing design in the engine room space of a commercial ship. The effectiveness of this system is verified as a reasonable form of support for pipe routing design jobs. The automatic routing result of this system can serve as a good basis model in the initial stages of pipe routing design, allowing the designer to reduce their design lead time significantly. As a result, the design productivity overall can be improved with this automatic pipe routing system.

The GSCAD (Global Shipbuilding CAD) System used in Samsung Heavy Industries is based on the Relation and Rule. The design area where excellence of these Relation & Rule can be used fully is pipe support modeling. That's because, many rules are required to place a pipe support and it's supported by hull structural object. Samsung Heavy Industries has been customizing the Relation and Rule supported by SmarMarine3d(R) to model pipe support easily and satisfies standard. Also, the pipe support fabrication drawing program was developed to generate a drawing for the pipe support customized. This paper reviews the characteristics of pipe support modeling on GSCAD and the Rules customized also, fabrication drawing program will be introduced.
