DATASHEET AVEVA™ Hull and Outfitting AVEVA Hull and Outfitting is a proven ship design system. It unifies all modeling disciplines together in one unique, concurrent, multi-user, multi-site design environment, streamlining the processes of hull design, outfitting design, structural detailing, weight calculation, drawing creation, and manufacturing output. It includes three major modules: | Hull Structural Design | For structural design with analysis, cost estimates and transition to detailed design. | | --- | --- | | Hull Detailed Design | Detailed design and production information for hull steel structures. | | Outfitting Design | Clash-free, specification-driven design of outfitting systems. Dedicated user interfaces for each discipline such as routed elements (piping, HVAC), structural elements (foundations, supports), standalone equipment, cables and cable ways, stairs and ladders. | Hull Structural Design A major challenge for a shipyard in the basic design phase is to define a hull structure in a timely manner with clear objectives: to get a design that complies with classification society rules, and to estimate weight and material list. And all of this in a design context where change is the rule rather than the exception. AVEVA Hull Structural Design is used for the preliminary definition and arrangement of the ship’s structures. The application helps in making important decisions regarding naval architectural characteristics, the preliminary geometry definition and the arrangement of principal structural members. Deliverables generated by AVEVA Hull Structural Design are classification drawings, steel material estimates, weld lengths, painting area estimates, weights and center of gravity reports. It is also possible to export the design information to several other analysis tools such as finite element calculations or classification societies software. Key features y Fast parametric modelling of hull steel structures: Reference surfaces in the design y Seamless transition between structural and detailed design. The Hull Structural Design and Hull Detailed Design applications maintain two parallel views of the design in the model database: a design view for the structural engineers and a production view for the detailed designers. The structural engineers create and maintain the design panels, while the detail designers work with the production panels. The production panels are created from the design panels using the automatic block-splitting facilities. After block splitting, the two views of the steel structural model are kept synchronized so that any change to a design panel will automatically affect the corresponding production panel. Parallel working between structural design and detailed design y Imported 2D drawing view placed in 3D space in the model. Imported 2D views placed as surfaces in the 3D model 02 AVEVA Hull and Outfitting y Links to classification societies’ software and programs for FEM-based strength calculations. Hull Structural Design has powerful interfaces to classification societies’ software programs for rule checking and strength calculations. y Block division. The overall basic hull design can be divided, along customer-defined block seams, into detailed design blocks and panels, which can then be further refined in the Hull Detailed Design application. Block Division y Reuse of existing model databases. An existing production model (a model database containing production panels) can be reused by “reverse engineering” it so that design panels can be created through an intelligent merging of production panels. The newly obtained design panels can then be split to satisfy alternative production sites. This process can also be applied to old Tribon model databases converted to Hull Structural Design. Business benefits y Time saved in the project. Flexible modeling and drafting tools allow the creation, in only a few hours, of the structural model

FAQs

What are the three major modules included in AVEVA Hull and Outfitting?

The system includes Hull Structural Design, Hull Detailed Design, and Outfitting Design, covering structural definition, detailed production information, and specification-driven outfitting design.

How does Hull Structural Design support early design decisions?

It helps with preliminary definition and arrangement of principal structural members, supporting decisions on naval architectural characteristics, preliminary geometry, and compliance with classification rules.

What business benefits does the system claim?

It reduces project time and design hours through flexible tools and automatically synchronizable parallel views, and it lowers document creation effort and costs by reusing earlier production designs while optimizing alternatives and block division.
