Teamcenter implementation at

Thijs van der Schaaf7th European NX ship Usergroup meeting Oslo, June 2017

Index

•Introduction

•Product and Process

•PLM Roadmap

•Multi Cad environment

•Challenges:

• 1) Paperless organization

• 2) Intuitive user interface

• 3) System performance

Introduction

Two parent companies with subsidiaries,

one quality standard:

about 20 yachts,

average length 80m,

2000 employees

Product characterization

•Automotive & Aerospace versus Custom build mega yachts

•Series with configurations versus Uniquity

• Same:

• Standard process,

• Just in time logistics,

• Scientific knowledge and technology.

• Different:

• Highly customized, no series

• Short lead time to production

• Huge amount of (Cad) data

• Not everything determined, Craftsmanship

Lessons learned

Multi disciplinary System Engineering Process

Process: collaboration is key

•6 different Cad tools, not all integrated with Teamcenter

•8 different engineering companies per project

•6 different disciplines

•Short lead times: design & production simultaneously

•Lessons learned feedback

•Integral decisions

•Automotive: perfect 3D model, re-use knowledge, undisturbed data flow

•Mega yacht industry: good overview of status & maturities

One actual 3D model is solution: PLM

Road map

1. One 3D model (viewing Multi Cad)

2. Attributes and properties

3. Status management

4. Improve viewer functionality and performance

5. Interface with ERP

3D multi Cad modelTC VIS

Outlook I: paperless approach

•Printed paper documents are the base.

• Design with all relevant notes, comment marks

• Approval signatures, Release and distribution stamps.

• Showing only relevant parts: right focus

• Independent of IT hardware, connections, authorization and training.

•3D model is the only truth, management of maturity of parts, still drawings:

• Drawings are short-live communication tools

• Drawings are mono disciplinary, few details,

• in 3D model: Relations with other disciplines.

Cultural change: from push to pull

•Traditionally: Modifications communicated down streams (push)

•PLM: Responsibility to work with latest information (pull)

• Released? Maturity? Latest revision?

• What is modification date?

• More information available? AW

Outlook II: Intuitive user interface

- What: One actual truth, composed via multi authoring tools

- Simplicity: Everyone can access all info like

Solution is combination of

- Active Workspace

- attributes available

- 4GD Viewer

- Visual report

Status quo ? Water systems

Inquiry component

Outlook III: performance

• Cad models handling:

• car 8.000 parts

• Helicopter 22.000 parts

• 120m Yacht 1.000.000 parts

• Model load time 60 minutes > 1 minute

• Overview: whole yacht & tiniest details

• Zoom, rotate, sectioning

• Imported JT-files from external Cad

Measures• running indexing tools on the background, • combining models on the background to bigger monolithics, • automatic importing only updated parts, • loading first only rough empty older geometry, • setting up a latest working structure, • automatic switching while zooming to different level of details,• emptying cashing memory, • etcetera.
