Integration between Shipbuilding CAD Systems and a Generic PLM Tool in Naval Projects

©SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas, S.A.


More complex designs with powerfulcapabilities, with multiple offices andstakeholders working concurrently fromremote locations

Class societies are asking for moreregulations

Society requires more safety, which resultsin more controls and design margins

Governments requires many environmentalrestrictions

Ship-owners demands profitable operationsand less-costly production of vessels

Shipyards call for faster design times butkeeping the quality

Designers wants lest-costly tools, avoidingerrors…

INTRODUCTION

Some identified circunstances and other potential new challenges are evolving into a more complex environment

SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY

Only with thesuitable tools, thetotal integration andan overall view isposible to ensure thecompetitivenes



Technology is changing, everybody requiresaccurate data…earlier….in the most realisticformat…and everywhere!!

HOW IS TECHNOLOGY CHANGING?The information outputs must be delivered earlier, in appropriateformats to maximise efficiency, improve schedules and reduce there-work

From the OLD- fashioned drawings-orientation, to a totally-immersive-3D-solutions, Shipbuilding can´t loose thetechnological revolution



HOW IS TECHNOLOGY CHANGING?

100s of designers will have access to the CAD systems 1000s of Company personal will have acces to the PLM system



SOFTWARE TOOLS

Two fundamental software tools in naval shipbuilding

CAD/CAM PLM

Optimised integration between the two toolsMaintaining efficiency on both sides

ScalabilityPerformance

To limit the integration impact in both systemsLimited coupling



Driving the shipbuilding successwith a proven cost/effectivesolution

SHIPBUILDING CAD IN NAVAL ENVIRONMENTS. FORAN SYSTEM

The most suitable CAD/CAM/CAE solution for shipbuilding

1. Integration in all designstages and disciplines in asingle database, and withthe rest of businesssolutions

2. Shipbuilding oriented anddevoted to innovation

3. Advanced capabilities inan easy-to-use interface

4. Concurrent access to theengineering projectwithout any lack ofperformance

5. Open to any project,shipyard and practice forproduction


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016TRADITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INTEGRATION CAD-PLM

• Traditional low/medium level of integrations

• Document management functionality

– Management of all documents generated by the CAD in the PLM

– Linking documents and BOM’s

• Transfer vessel product structure from CAD to PLM

• Geometry (visualization)

• Attributes



KEY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INTEGRATION

• New requirements for an advanced integration

– Continuous synchronisation

– Mastering standards either in CAD or in PLM

– Sharing of attributes between CAD and PLM

– Handling of unique identifications in both systems (PLM is usually the master)

– Maturity and security implications for

• Access and locking control to CAD items

• Visualization of model items

– Bidirectional transfer of the vessel build strategy from CAD to PLM

PLM



INTEGRATION SCOPE (I)

Entities managed through the FORAN – PLM integration.

Use of unique item identifications generated in PLM

Sharing of attributes between FORAN and PLM

Definition of standard parts and model itemsIn both FORAN and PLM


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016INTEGRATION SCOPE (II)

– Ability to map FORAN users to PLM users via

a corporate active directory

– Visualization based on maturity status

– Locking of items in FORAN driven by the PLM

– Based on object maturity

– Publishing 3D geometry at elementary level

– Security classification requirements

considered

– Automatic generation in PLM of the relations

documents – BOM

– Multiple vessel configuration

INTEGRATION ARCHITECTURE

• New product structure in PLM (the FORAN Product Tree)

– Linked to the Product Breakdown Structure in PLM

• Use of the PLM Classification Structure (standard parts)

• Two specialized processes managing the integration

– Publishing process (FPUBLISH)

– Synchronization process (FSYNC)

• Execution modes (publishing/synchronization)

– Scheduled (batch) / On demand

• Use of FORAN to PLM neutral framework and web services

• FPLM clients in the FORAN modules

– Document management

– On demand publishing



VESSEL PRODUCT TREE (VPTree)

• FORAN product structure in PLM

• Automatically build & edited by the Publishingprocess

• VPTree is not modified by PLM

• VPTree structure similar to the FORAN productstructure

• Supports the creation of new FORAN items in PLM– Assignment of mandatory FORAN key

attributes (e.g. F_SYSTEM)– Incorporation into FORAN and PLM through

Synchronization, Reconciliation andPublishing

• Updated view of the vessel project

• VPTree data will allow the PLM to control the CADproduct model, through the model locks.


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016THE PUBLISHING MECHANISM (FPUBLISH)

• The FORAN Publishing mechanism sends to PLM– Model items to be allocated under VPTree– Standard parts to be allocated under PLM Classification Structure– Intelligent diagrams– Plate and profile cutting information (nesting)– Build strategy trees– Drawings handled by FORAN

• New FORAN Publishing functionality– Publishing FORAN info in PLM– Only for authorised users– Tools to facilitate selection of items

• Publishing modes– Scheduled– On demand (FPUBLISH)– On demand (FORAN modules)

• Publishing of an entity involves identification, attributes and geometry


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016THE SYNCHRONIZATION MECHANISM (FSYNC)

CORBA Server FORAN

Application Server

CORBAServlet Invocation + XML with data to Synchronize

• New FORAN process getting PLM information– Parts and items created, modified or deleted

in PLM

• Process permanently running– Scheduled synchronization– Urgent synchronization– Installation configurable

• Modification register managed by PLM– Referencing PLM entities requiring

synchronization

• The Synchronization and publishing mechanisms are controlled through a new FORAN to PLM database table


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT (I)

• To manage user local files generated with a FORAN module and transfer them to PLM server

• Accessible from all FORAN modules that generate files

• Manages specific file content types for each FORAN module


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT (II)

• Select a file content type to manage• Search a document into PLM system and add to local files list• Upload a file into PLM system as a new document• Check-in a document / Check-out a document for modification• Download file content from PLM server• Create a new document version• P &I and Electrical Diagrams

– Automatic check-in when publishingschematics with BOM management

– Automatic generation of PDF


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016CHANGE MANAGEMENT

• ECN’s will be managed in the PLM.

• When an entity is included in an ECN in either role (problem item, affected item or solution item), synchronization process in which the entity is included will hold data related to the ECN;

• If a synchronized entity includes ECN data, the ECN will be registered in FORAN, if it is new.

• FORAN will have a ECN Manager tool to handle all data related to the ECN related to FORAN, which includes the status of the modifications expected in the change process for the entities; add additional entities to the ECN in either affected or solution entities, as detected in FORAN as a result of the work done or to be done in the model; and the execution status level of the ECN itself;


МОРИНТЕХ-ПРАКТИК 2016APPLICABILITY

The development of series of sister ships is managed nowadays in a complex process thatprovoke rework, inconsistencies, manual intervention and lost of competitiveness.

The objective is to optimize the definition and management of information during the design,production and operation of a series of vessels. Changes affecting several units are made justonce, and to provide multi-saving capability.

SENER has developed a solution that works in the PLM, in a full PLM-FORAN integration

If an applicability change is performed on an item in PLM, indicating a change in the range ofunits where the item is valid, that modification will be also updated in the FORAN projectsaccordingly, through the information stored in the CAD-PLM.



Only integrated cross-functional solutions in the businessenterprise ensures the best-in-class product development

HOW IS THE FUTURE PICTURE?To have the right information at any time, to take the proper decissions, to avoid re-engineering, re-work, inconsistencies, to achive a better quality product during design, production and operation
