Ships and off-shore plants have very long lifecycles. Design data of ships and off-shore plants are used as master data in the subsequent phases after the design phase. Therefore, it is an important issue how to convert native design data generated from commercial shipbuilding CAD systems into neutral data with the use of international industrial data standards. International standard-based exchange of ship outfitting and off-shore plant data needs the construction of a library for specifications data of equipment and materials and the provision of external referencing mechanism for retrieving data stored in the library. This paper proposes an approach to construct a specifications data library with the use of ISO 15926 process plants. This library is used for providing specifications data through external referencing when translating ship outfitting data from TRIBON system into ISO 10303 STEP AP 227-formed data.

The research to predict the resistance performance of the ship using the CFD analysis is increasing. For the CFD numerical analysis the computational mesh, which is proper to computational model, has to be made before the analysis is begun. In the parametric study, even though the deformation of each case is not very sharp, the whole computational mesh should be regenerated according to the conventional way. Hence, lots of effort is needed to repeated mesh generation work. To solve these problems, the automatic mesh generation method using the macro function of commercial CAD program and mesh generation program is introduced in this study. First, in the CAD program, by using the macro function and putting the deformation rate of bow and stern in lengthwise, the repeated modeling work is performed automatically. Next, the generated geometries are read by the mesh generation program and the proper mesh for the geometry is created automatically also using the macro function. The hybrid mesh which has unstructured grid near the bow and stern and structured grid in the remaining part of domain is used. The verification of the developed method is done by applying the method to predict the resistance performance of the podded propulsion cruise ship of the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in the cases of different length of bow and stern and pod set in different position. The author believes that the introduced method can help to make the database to optimize the resistance performance of the ship in various cases can be constructed without difficulty.

Ship STEP is the international standard for the exchange of ship modeling data between heterogeneous systems. It is expected that STEP AP218 can be used for seamless data exchange between various CAD/CAM/CAE systems used in the shipbuilding design process. Although the conformance assessment for standards would maximize the performance and confidence about data exchanges, most research has been directed toward interoperability testing. ISO SC4/TC184 only provides the method for conformance testing, and it can be used with test cases on application protocols. Even though standards have been defined for conformance assessment and testing, there is no organization or association. CAD vendors have focused on interoperability testing for evaluation of the performance of their systems. In this paper, the conformance testing criteria for AP218 have been developed with abstract test cases of ship structures. The requested STEP translator was also reviewed with a developed item pool of testing criteria. The criteria methodology would be a guideline for the development of translators and interfaces. The item pool method of testing criteria for conformance assessment would increase performance and efficiency of data translators for Ship STEP and other standards.

Recently, the usage of containers in marine transportation is rapidly increasing. The problem of ship stability is important because of its direct influence to the loss of the human-life, ship, and merchandise. However, the assessment for ship stability during container loading/unloading in port is dependent on human experience only. On the other hand, the emerging information and communication technologies of shipbuilding industrial environments are rapidly changing. To respond to the situation, a new paradigm has been matured with new concepts such as the concrete method. Especially, all the efforts are shown to be concentrated to realize the concept of Simulation Based Design(SBD) based on three dimensional Computer Aided Design(CAD) model. In this paper, ship model-based simulation methodology for design and operation of ship is suggested, and for the verification of suggested methodology, the system for stability assessment of ship during container loading/unloading was developed using ENVISION, a general-purpose simulation system. The developed system consists of geometric modeling subsystem, basic calculation subsystem, and Computer Aided Engineering(CAE) subsystem. In addition, interface to CAE/CAD /simulation system such as SIKOB and ENVISION is provided.

The role of product model in CIM environemt(where such heterogenous application programs as CAD, CAE, CAM, Database, and Expert Systems are included) is system integration. Product model manages all the information related to manufacuring activities. This information includes shapes, operation, process, scheduling, quality, and mangement. Product model architecture includes product model kernel, object schema, model manipulation language, and user interface. Objects to be shared are defined using the model manipulation luage and the defintions are saved in the object schema. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a prototype. In this prototype, application programs for CAPP(Computer Aided Process Planning) are used.

In this paper, we studied the modeling methods of initial ship structure design results using ship structure product model for concurrent engineering in shipbuilding industry. We suggested two modeling methods which are programming method using CAD commands and Macros for primary structure members. Also, we investigated three modeling procedures which are modeling procedure in unit concept, modeling procedure using version control, and modeling procedure for computer aided process planning. We demonstrated how to use the structure product modeling results in some application fields. Finally, we proposed some ideas for future research.

For the reuse of the existing 3D block model of a ship, we analyze the hull modeling process using AVEVA Marine which is a representative CAD (Computer-Aided Design) system for the shipbuilding. In the AVEVA Marine environment where the design engineer makes 3D model on the 2D view that is so-called 2.5D, it cannot be possible to copy to reuse the block model just simply copying the 3D feature model itself like in the general mechanical CAD system or Smart Marine 3D which are on the basis of the 3D model representation. In this paper, we analyze the scheme file where the 3D model is defined in AVEVA Marine so that we develop the program for the block copy and the translation using this scheme file. It is significant that this program can be immediately available as a real-world application on the AVEVA Marine environment.

These days, the great part of design processes in the field of ship or offshore manufacturing are planed and implemented using the customized CAD system for each ship-building companies. It means that all information for design and production could be extracted and reused at the useful other area cost considerable time and efforts. The representative example is the estimation of welding length and material amount which is demanded during the construction of ship or offshore structures. The proper estimation of welding material to be used and the usage of them at the stage of schedule planning is mostly important to achieve the seamless process of production and expect the costing in advance. This study is related to the calculation of welding length and needed material amount at the stage of design complete utilizing the CAD system. The calculated amount are classified according to welding position, stage, block, bevel and welding type. Moreover it is possible to predict the working time for welding operation and could be used efficiently for the cost management using the results of this research.

In this paper, the trends for the standardization of the product model was surveyed, and the product model can be used as concrete means to realize the communication of information between the CAD/CAM softwares, which are used for the design and manufacturing of the complex products such as ships. We have proposed the newly developed methodology for the representation and definition of the ship model on a basis of the product model. And also we have studied the product modeling technology for the aspect of an application, and the object-oriented system technology have been surveyed for the system implementation issues. We would like to verify the consistency and correctness of our proposed representation methodology by using the prototype application model, which is applied to design work of ship compartmentation model. For this purpose we have developed the "OO_COMDEF"(which means the Object-Oriented System for the Compartmentation Definition of ship) program that is applied to the compartmentation model which can be considered as a submodel of the general ship models. The results of research work have been proved that the representation methodology for the ship model based on the product model is an efficient and appropriate scheme for the ship model definitions. Consequently, this methodology can be proposed as a fundamental framework for the development of the shipbuilding CAD/CAM system.

Digital Virtual Manufacturing is a technology to facilitate effective product developments and agile productions by digital models representing the physical and logical schema and the behavior of real manufacturing systems including products, process, manufacturing resources and plants. A digital virtual factory as a well-designed and integrated environment is essential for successful applications of this technology. In this research, we constructed a sophisticated digital virtual factory of the shipbuilding company's section steel shop by 3-D CAD and virtual manufacturing simulation. This digital virtual factory can be applied for diverse engineering activities in design, manufacturing and control of the real factory.
