Fig. 3: An Example of Part Representation by the Proposed Data Structure Semantic Product Modeling Function Various modeling function such as generating functions of a panel and a stiffener, which is used during hull structural modeling, is a tool to generate and modify the data structure by using user input data and the data generated from internal calculation such as intersection calculation. A suitable modeling function for each structural part is needed, because a modeling method is different in different structural part. Thus, in the developed system, many modeling functions for various structural parts were implemented based on detailed modeling methods for them by design experts, and the functions construct contents of the data structure by using the non-manifold geometric modeling kernel. Fig. 4 shows an example of the modeling function for generating a new panel (“Panel 2”) on existing panel (“Panel 1”).

In the first step, a container of the data structure for the new panel is generated. In the second step, non-manifold topological entities representing the shape of the new panel are generated. In the last step, relationship information between the existing and new panels is constructed by using the seam. Generating Function of Production Material Information The generating function of production material information means a function to generate various information for production planning, such as weight, center of gravity, joint length for welding, painting area, etc. of building blocks, from the 3D CAD model for a hull structure.

However, since the production material information should be provided as a unit of a building block, the intersection calculation between the hull structural information and a rectangular solid (Fig. 5) or a subpision plane (Fig. 6) is needed in order to generate such information. Here, the rectangular solid represents an object containing a building block, and the plane represents an object containing a block butt seam to generate building blocks. ¨Intersectionbetweenthe subpision planeandall structural partsSeam 1PanelStiffenerHoleSeam 2 Seam 2PanelSeam 1Block Butt SeamSeam 2 StiffenerPanel¨Subpision planeWeight, center of gravity, and painting area ofeach structural part¨ weight, center of gravity, painting area, etc.of the building blockSeam (butt or fillet)¨ joint length between building blocks,joint length in the building blockSubpision plane containingthe block butt seam Fig. 6: Generating Function of Production Material Information by Using the Subpision Plane User Interface The user interface (UI) is a tool to get input data, which are needed for performing the modeling function, from a designer. There are two types of the UIs; one is a dialog-based UI, the other is a script file-based UI. In the developed system, the script file-based UI is introduced, which supports more general modeling function and is more expandable than the dialog-based GUI, although it is hard to implement the script file-based UI.

In the first step, a designer generates a sketch section that a structural part will be modeled by using the intersection calculation between a compartment model for a ship and infinite plane. In the second step, he generates the structural part as if making a 2D drawing by using various commands and functions for a script file. In the last step, he inputs design attributes of the structural part. 船体结构初步设计英文文献和中文翻译(3):http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_64773.html
