The access to the standard module For the practical application of
modularisation some parametric adjustments and configurations could be required, but the design criteria and the methodology must be applied during the initial stages of the conceptual design, using advanced tools to simulate the product and process.
Te FORAN approach for the general
and specific module concept utilises the standard module and a unit of a module respectively, and incorporates new applications for a simplified or parametric geometric representation of attributes and connections. It can also be stored in configurable libraries.
is available from two different points: simplified geometry and detail 3D geometry. Simplified geometry includes a 3D module representation, allowing certain parametric applications and the evaluation of different design alternatives and their interfaces, depending on surrounding spaces. This approach is suitable for the initial design stages and has already been implemented in FORAN. Detail 3D geometry is for developing
detail design and should take advantage of the serial effect when the design solution becomes generic. Finally, the simplification and coordination between disciplines, and in particular between structure and outfitting, is a clear consequence of modularisation in CAD/CAM
systems.NA
AVEVA pushes forward New contracts and a product launch see AVEVA starting 2008 on a firm footing.
S
outh Korean shipbuilder C& Heavy Industries is the latest company to purchase the AVEVA Marine solutions
soſtware package, signing a multi-million US dollar agreement with AVEVA in March. C& Heavy Industries is part of the C& Group, based in Mokpo City. Te company will be using AVEVA Marine
solutions to build a series of 81,000dwt Panamax bulk carriers and will gradually introduce the software for further ship designs aſter 2010. Te yard currently has the capacity to build 18 ships a year, a figure which will rise to 24 aſter 2010. It was recently awarded a contract to build six bulk carriers worth US$550 million from two shipping companies based in Asia and Europe. Elsewhere, AVEVA will also be providing
its marine package for the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Singapore, for use in Higher National ITE Certificate engineering courses. Tis will be the second AVEVA suite to be incorporated into ITE’s curriculum, where AVEVA PDMS has been a feature since 2000.
46 ITE’s students will be offered hands-on
experience using the soſtware. In their fourth semester, they will get the opportunity to put their skills into practice during a three-month industrial placement at shipyards which use the same program. As well as winning new business, AVEVA
is developing new products, with the latest release being AVEVA Review 6.4 - the current version of the 3D visualisation tool used with large complex plant and marine models. Taking data from 3D plant design systems,
the program delivers a realistic representation of the model to a wide range of project personnel, providing the ability to share, inspect the design, and communicate details to everyone involved in design, installation, operations, and maintenance. Features include: enhanced support for
laser scanned models, now with the same functionality as the AVEVA Laser Model Interface; enhanced user features such as easier definition and manipulation of clipping volumes and section planes; and an improved user interface that is reckoned to provide
quicker and simpler navigation, selection, and modification. When there is a requirement to
communicate ideas or undertake project reviews, particularly across multiple remote sites, the soſtware provides a visual collaboration link for use through all stages of the plant lifecycle, whilst using standard enterprise communications. AVEVA ReviewShare is bundled with the
version 6.4 release at no extra cost to enhance collaboration across all project stakeholders. The tool has been developed to support collaborative 3D design review across teams, sites, regions, and even continents. It uses AVEVA’s 3D streaming technology,
combining the 3D visualisation of AVEVA Review with intuitive comment and mark- up tools, to create compact and distributable 3D collaboration documents. Fully integrated with Review, it allows each reviewer to add his or her own individually auditable comments, incorporating text, 2D screenshots, and 3D views, and share them with other reviewers, even over low-bandwidth
connections.NA
