Chapter 1
It is normal that the frame table values are written in a file as below which becomes input to the Initiate Hull Standards
application: -
See the Hull Manager Training Guide for full details of the input file.
5
This creates table objects in two databanks: -
SB_OGDB to be used by the Hull System __SBH_GENTAB__
SB_REFDB to be used by Outfitting systems <PROJ>=GENTAB==
6
1.2.1 Environment
SB_OGDB SB_REFDB
SX001 LIST
INPUT
Named Co-ordinates
Frame Planes
Waterline Planes
Buttock Planes
Hull Planes
Co-ordinates can be defined directly via input to the program. While the other planes are fetched from the Hull system.
IDENT
REFERENCE
[,<refid>] String maximum 26 characters long. It defines the name of the coordinate. It must always be given
except when a coordinate table is defined.
[/XTAB=<hull table name>] Define a x-coordinate table to be fetched from TRIBON Hull.
[/YTAB=<hull table name>] Define a y-coordinate table to be fetched from TRIBON Hull.
[/ZTAB=<hull table name>] Define a z-coordinate table to be fetched from TRIBON Hull.
<hull table name> Name of object in TRIBON Hull containing coordinate tables
.Example: REF/ZTAB=’TTPZTAB’;
[/PANEL=<panel name>] Defines a panel to be used as a coordinate reference plane. The reference name
will be <refid>.
Example: REF,’BHDA’/PANEL=’SB512-3’;
1.2.5.2 Result
The coordinate references are stored in the SB_REFDB. A result list, MODCOORD.lst, is created showing the input
statements and messages from the program.
Check the result file: -
Then using the Tribon M3 DB utility, check the objects in the Reference database: -

1.3 Pipe & Ventilation
In either case, it is important that the offsets produced agree with the shipyards internal production processes in order to
produce the correct cutting lengths on the pipe sketch.
Figure 1.3.1, showing on the left a normal slip-on flange and on the right a backing ring flange
Internal, default values
A customisable flange offset file, SBP_FLG_OFFSET
where DY is the outer diameter of the pipe, and collar diameter is fetched from the table below.
DY Collar diameter
< 65 88
< 80 108
< 100 124
< 125 144
< 150 169
< 200 199
>= 200 254
Note that the default excess values are calculated only up to and including ND 200,.if greater values are required
then the customisable file SBP_FLG_OFFSET will need to be used.
9
1.3.1.2 Flange Offset File
In order for the system to use this method for calculating the offsets the following criteria must be met: -
SBP_FLG_OFFSET C:\Projects\TTP\def\sbp_flg_offset.def
If the assignment does not exist, or if the file does not contain any valid interval, the default values will automatically be
used.
Record format
The offset may be defined within the flange-offset file via the following data types: -
Flange Group
DN
DY
Wall Thickness
The offset file contains a number of record types each one associated with certain data types: -
1 <version no.>
a user identification to handle multiple versions.
2 <table type>
1 = The table values are upper limits for the offset.
The limit is not included in the interval.
3 Description string
10 <Excess> <DY>
The modelling programs first check if the flange group name exists (in record 5) and then DN or DY or wall thickness to
get the offset which matches the checked record data.
If a pipe has a nominal diameter of 250, the offset will be 7 mm. If a pipe has a nominal diameter of 300, the offset will
be 11 mm.
10
Example 2, Using DY, Flange Groups and Ventilation
If a pipe has an outer diameter of 244.5 mm, the offset will be 7 mm. If a flange group exists, the offset will be 4 mm. If a
pipe has an outer diameter of 273 mm, the offset will be 11 mm. If a flange group exists, the offset will be 3 mm. If a pipe
has an outer diameter of 76.1 mm, the collar excess will be 17 mm. If a ventilation duct has a height that is less than 251
mm, the offset will be 4 mm, unless it is included in the group ABC, in which case it will be 5 mm.
If a pipe has a wall thickness of 2.95 mm, the offset will be 4.4 mm.

Record Data Description
Type
EXTRUSION is not relevant unless you have an extrusion machine in the pipe shop. It is much more common in
shipbuilding to use a SADDLE type boss connection. The pipe training shows how the boss connection type may be
changed locally on the current pipe. Here we will deal with how to set-up the system to automatically choose SADDLE
instead of EXTRUDE.
Extrusion code:
1 = extrusion of bosses allowed
2 = extrusion of bosses not allowed
If BOSS_EXECSS is not given the system default 50 will be used for saddle connection
If MITRE_EXCESS is not given the system default 100 will be used for external excess
For mitre also the internal excess is calculated according to the dia and mitre angle.
1. if typecode for boss comp is NOT between 7000 and 7999 (that is the boss is no pipe) AND
boss comp connection code is 1 then on surface is chosen
2. if pipe is straight pipe or straight frame AND
bossdia <= pipedia - 2*pipewallthi & bossdia< 33.7+dm_tol(0.04999) AND
abs(cos_angle) <= pipewallthi/(2*bossdia) then drill is chosen
3. if pipe is straight pipe or straight frame AND
bossdia <= pipedia - 2*pipewallthi AND
abs(cos_angle) <= pipewallthi/(2*bossdia) AND
pipedia/2 * (1-sqrt(1-(bossdia/pipedia)**2)) + 0.5 <= pipewallthi/2 then burn is chosen
4. if pipe comp extrude code is 1 AND pipedia<=bossdia AND
pipedia < 650 AND pipewallthi < 10
bossdia < 368 AND bosswallthi < 17.2 AND
"the boss is not sloping too much" then extrude is chosen
5. if pipe is steel AND boss is pipe material
then saddle is chosen
6. if pipe is non-steel AND boss is pipe material AND
bossdia > 133 then saddle non-steel is chosen.
7. otherwise saddle is chosen and warning message is given
13
1.3.4 Pipe Object Types
The different object types are named according to the table below: -
1.4 Migration of Specifications and Diagrams from TB5 & M1v4 to M3.
1. Copy the TB5/M1v4 Pipe Specification files from the TB5/M1v4 environment to the M3 environment, use
normal file ftp/copy procedures.
2. Select M3 project
3. From a command prompt window, run the M3 program TbSpecConversion.exe. This program converts the TB5
Pipe Specification file to a normal text file that can be imported by the M3 Pipe Specification program.
14
Use the following command:
TbSpecConversion [<path>]<infile> [<path>]<outfile>.
If path is not given, then SB_PIPEDATA will be used as default for infiles and the current directory for outfiles.
e.g.
Start the M3 Pipe Specification program and Import the text file, ww.txt.
Note! The new Resize/Respec functionality in M3 Pipe Modelling is dependant on new Specification functionality and will
not work fully for Valves selected from the old Diagram List object in the described way. The reason is that old data does
not have Specification information stored on part level. This is of course also true for already modelled objects.
a. Create a new Pipe by selecting the Pipe number as in Diagram List, the main Component is then
picked up from the Diagram List object.
b. Insert part by selecting ":D#V<no>" in the function combo box for a Pipe belonging a given Pipe
System.

1.6 Structure
1. General component
2. Bar component
3. Plate component
In giving the component name two ways exist in the TRIBON Structure, giving true components and pseudo
components.
17
1.6.2.2 True components versus Pseudo components
The advantage of using pseudo components is that the user can start building structures without having a component
data bank.
The disadvantage of not having a component data bank becomes obvious for example when extracting production
information. For example for the weight calculation steel density is always assumed. Further no material, buying or stock
information is connected to a pseudo component.
This Split function is used to transfer a completed structure object to the production preparation environment. The plate
parts of the structure object are copied to the plate data bank (SB_PLDB), and the profiles to the profile data bank
(SBH_PROFDB). They can then be treated by the Hull Nesting applications.
General components are currently not treated. The plate parts get a name according to <object name>-<id>C and
the profile parts according to <object name>\<id>C where id is an internal unique number within the structure object.
Module reference object
Module object(s)
Structure object(s)
Part(s)
Belonging part(s)
On top of the hierarchy is the module reference object that is created at the start of a project. The module reference
object name consists of the project name together with a fixed part specific for structure objects according to <project
name>::$MOD$.
The next level is the module object that is used to group the structure objects in any way chosen by the user. All module
objects are noted in the module reference object. The module object names are built up by a user given arbitrarily part
and the project name according to <project name>::<module name>.
Under the modules the structure objects reside, which are the entities handled in the Tribon Structure system against the
data bank in operations such as store, delete and input. Also the structure object names are user defined and arbitrarily.
The structure objects in turn contain parts such as profiles, plates and general components. In some cases also parts
have subordinate parts for example a plate with holes.
The structure objects and parts are handled in the Tribon Structure system. However a module reference object and at
least one module object must exist within the current project.

1.7 Equipment import utility
The normal method of creating equipment in Tribon M3 is via the interactive methods, either in tbequip or in the
graphical applications. An alternative is to create an input file, in csv format, containing the equipment details and to
import the equipment using the function Import in tbequip.
Open the file using Excel: -
19
1.7.2 Running the import Open drawing EQUIP_IMPORT and insert the models
Then in tbequip, select File > Import…
You should see that the 6 equipments have been imported to the equipment databank: -
20
1.8 Data Extraction introduction
Data in the Tribon data banks are accessible via the Data Extraction facilities. It is possible to retrieve specific
information from one or several Tribon objects by specifying the type and name of the model object and the wanted item
within the object
See Tribon M3 Documentation, Tribon M3 Developers Toolkit, Data Extraction for full details of how
to run Data Extraction and the options available
21
SX711 is a sample MFC application that illustrates the usage of the Data Extraction component from C++.

Chapter 2
2.1 Description
Prior to outfit modelling, the system requires that the following objects are created in the outfitting model databanks: -
Module
System (valid only for Pipe)
Each model object must belong to a project, module (and system), therefore these ‘high-level’ objects must be set up
prior to modelling. In Tribon M3. the creation of these objects is done via the Design Manager application. The program
is started as below: -
Select New from the menu
Open up the TTP project and select sub-project outman
Open up the project node TTP so as the Design and Production nodes appear as above
Open up the Design node as above, then right-click the cursor on the
Outfitting modules node and choose New Module
Key-in ‘200’ and select OK. The module ‘200’ is created in all the
relevant Outfitting databanks (pipe, ventilation, cable, structure,
equipment).
Outfitting objects may now be modelled belonging to this module.
23
2.3 Creating a new Pipe System
Select the node Pipe systems and right-click. Choose New System
In this case the surface preparation code 20 will become default for
the whole HW system (all pipes)
Key-in the values as above and select OK
The system HW is created and is now available for modelling pipes.
Note that if objects have been modelled belonging to the module or system then
the system will not allow you to delete it: -
In this case, the model objects would first have to be moved to a different
system or deleted from the databank before it is possible to delete the system
object.

3.2 Bending Machine
The system stores a model of the customers bending machine(s). The model contains a simple
3D representation of the bending machine and any surrounding obstructions using planes, as
well as dimensional values required for the successful automatic bending of each relevant pipe
component.

3.2.3.1 Collision Planes General Open drawing TURNING_COLL1
Collision planes are defined representing the geometry of the machine and any necessary surrounding obstructions
(such as the shop floor). There are two main categories: -
Bending Collision Planes – planes that can be struck by the pipe during a bending operation
Turning Collision Planes – planes that can be struck by the pipe during a rotating operation
Turn
Note that some planes can be struck during
bending or turning. These planes have to be
defined twice; once as a bending plane, and
once again as a turning plane
Turn
Bend
This plane of the wall can be struck during turning operations (left), and during bending operations (right).
29
3.2.3.2 Bending Collision plane
The position of the planes are measured from an origin point (where X=0, Y=0, Z=0. This origin is always considered to
be the centre of the bending die. The co-ordinate system is as shown below.
Bending collision planes can only lie at normal to the X or Y axis The GUI will limit you to these choices
Click in the Bending Collision plane box
Fill in the values as to the left
Click Finish to save the data
As stated on the previous page, this plane also can be considered a turning plane.
30
3.2.3.4 Turning Collision plane
The workshop floor is an example of a plane that can only be hit during a turning operation. Therefore it need only be
defined once.
Turning collision planes can only lie at normal to the X or Z axis The GUI will limit you to these choices

3.2.4.3 Setting how Stretch is calculated
In the modelling default file SBP_MODEL_DEF the variable STRETCH=<options> is used to control the method for
determining how the stretch value is calculated. This also influences how the Machine objects set-up program responds.
Example – set the value STRETCH=MATERIAL in the modelling default file.
You will see that when using option Springback Data that the stretch factors are now asked for, on each pipe size
34
3.2.4.4 Delete bending machine data
Choose Delete
Click Next
Type in the Plane that
you wish to delete
Click Finish
This function deletes both bending collision planes and turning collision planes. The plane numbers are changed
for the remaining planes when an existing plane is deleted.
35
3.2.5 Spring-back data
Spring-back data is used to control the accuracy of bending. When a pipe is bent it is normal that pipe springs back to
something less than the actual bend. E.g. when an actual bend of 90 degrees is made the pipe may spring back to (say)
89 degrees. Therefore to achieve a resultant bend of 90 degrees you may have to make an actual bend of 91 degrees
on the machine. The spring-back is adjusted by allowing the user to key in two values: -
The resultant angle at 20 degrees
The resultant angle at 120 degrees
The system can then determine the ‘over-bend’ that is required for any bend angle based on these values.
Enter data for pipe size
36
3.2.6 Delete Bending Machine
This function deletes a bending machine. All data associated with the particular machine is removed from the Bending
machine object (collision planes, stretch factors, max feed length and dimension data).
Click on Bending Machine to delete the bending machine
MacObj_<type>.lst
Return to previous window and select List then Next >
37
3.2.8 Multiple Bending Machine Objects
This feature makes it possible to define up to 100 bending objects, each one with a maximum of 10 (ten) bending
machines, numbered 1 to 10. Thus, the total number of bending machines possible to define is 1000.
If the BMOBJECT_ID keyword is present in the SBP_MODEL_DEF default file there will be an option to enable work on
a specific bending machine object. There will always be an ‘active' bending machine object. The bending machine
number will be picked up from the object. The object can be the general-purpose bending machine object
($MACH$BEND, equivalent to BMOBJECT_ID=0) or another object specified by the user.
Pipe tube material with the same data (Outer Diameter and Wall Thickness) can be placed in different bending machine
objects.
To disable use of the multiple bending machine objects the keyword BMOBJECT_ID has to be removed from the
SBP_MODEL_DEF default file.

Although this guide is aimed at Outfitting users, many of these concepts are also applicable in Hull.
4.1 Symbols
In many applications a considerable part of the information on drawings and diagrams consists of schematic pictures of
different items. These are referred to as symbols. Symbols can be created once and then easily placed on drawings.

Related symbols are grouped together in a symbol font. Each font is identified by a unique font number (1-999). Each
symbol within a certain font is identified by a unique symbol number (1-32767). There are a number of symbol fonts
delivered with TRIBON that are used by the system. These can be used in drawings but must not be modified. A list of
system defined reserved symbol fonts can be found in section 1.5 of this chapter.
Drafting handles the creation and maintenance of individual symbols and the symbol font utility program – sb021
handles the equivalent functions for symbol fonts.
45
4.1.1 Symbol Creation
It is usual to create the symbol in an area of 511mm x 511mm at a scale of 1:1. For convenience there is a drawing form
provided in the training project called NEWSYMBOL shown below: -
511
CONNECTION TYPES
1=pipe connection
4 AT THE CLOSEST END POINT and symbol number will be proposed by the system. If
OF THE GEOMETRY.
the limit can be changed, using the Symbol Font Utility program sb021
The normal Insert functions are used to create the symbol (line, arc etc). Hatching for example can also be input to the
symbol as can 2D primitives, existing symbols and so on.
New connections may be added in true interaction. The system keeps track of the next free connection number and
allows the user to supply all necessary information, namely: -
the connection point
the connection vector
the connection code
46
4.1.3 Text Positions
The text positions are treated in the same was as the connections, except when supplying necessary information,
namely: -
the text position
the text vector
the text position code
the maximum height and width
Operation Complete terminates the updating as well as the adding of new text positions.
Automatic positioning must be on.
The symbol must have been defined with connection point no. 1.
The connection code is interpreted by the system to give the following results: -
0. No adjust
1. Parallel and at a default distance from the geometry
2. Parallel to the geometry
3. At the geometry
4. At the closest end point of the geometry
5. Parallel and at the closest end point of the geometry
6. Parallel to and at the geometry
The distance between the closest geometry and the given position (connection point no 1) must be less than the default
value (SYMB_AUT_DIST in the default file).
Connection point 1 is the main connection and will determine how the symbol is positioned
Viewing and updating of font header characteristics
Creation of new symbol fonts
Copying of symbol fonts
Deletion of symbol fonts
The program interacts with the user via the Main Activity form and its sub forms which are:-
the Font Head Viewer form
the Font Copy Utility form
the Font Delete Utility form
For full details of the Symbol Font Utility Program see the Drafting User Guide, Utilities
47
4.1.7 Font Naming and Location
A symbol font is identified by a number between 1 and 999.The corresponding font file is named d012sy<xxx>.sbd
where xxx stands for the identification. The directory where the font files reside is initially project dependant
(SBB_SYMBDIR) but can be changed to whatever desired inside the program.
The total number of slots available
The highest slot number in use
The used slot size, in words
The size of a slot, in words (complexity)
The symbol origin (reference point)
The revision number of the font (not used at present, always=1)
The text code (not used, always =0)
First we will create a new symbol font into which new
symbols may be stored. We will create a new symbol
font 33.
Choose View from the Main activities menu
The Symbol Font Head Viewer form appears as
below
Key in ‘999’ in the identification box
Select Create
The new (empty) symbol font 99 is created on the
directory assigned to the variable SBB_SYMBDIR
Next we will create a typical symbol and store it in the
new font
Start up Drafting. Open a new drawing and use
drawing form NEWSYMBOL
48
Create geometry as below using lines, arcs and hatching
Select Tools > Symbol > Save..
The system then asks the user to define connection point 1; first the location, then the direction vector and then
the connection code
Select Intersection from the 2D point toolbar to locate the connection point
Indicate intersection …Choose Offset Current … Key in ’50 R’ for the vector
Then key in connection code ‘6’
(Parallel to and at the geometry).
Complete the connection points as shown left
Choose Operation Complete when asked for Text position
point (not relevant for this type of symbol)
49
The symbol is now stored and can
be accessed in Drafting with Insert
> Symbol
The Connection Code 6 was defined on the first connection. This
means that the symbol can snap to the nearest point on existing
geometry (provided Auto Positioning for symbols is turned on). The
connection vector will also be parallel to the geometry
This type of symbol might be used to represent a type of valve
This is a description of the
symbol used by the system
when creating position
numbers.
Convert the binary file to stream format, using SB022, on platform A.
Transfer the stream file to platform B.
Convert the stream file back to binary format, using SB023, on platform B. A binary file has the extension 'sbd' while
the stream file has the extension 'port'.
50
4.1.11 Symbol Fonts Reserved by the System
The symbols fonts reserved by the system are all located in the range 1-99, but there are also user fonts located in this
area. In the range 100-999 only user fonts are allowed.

4.2 Drawing Forms
There are two kinds of drawing forms used in TRIBON:
"Normal" forms
Modelling forms
Field Rule number In the File menu, click Properties. The function uses a SBFS
Drawing no $2000 form dialog when interacting with the user. This form contains
Drawing no in top left corner $2113 a number of fields corresponding to certain information
connected to the drawing e.g. drawing name, date, author,
Title $2101 scale etc. Each field in the SBFS form has a specific rule
Title, another language $2114 number connected to it. The information in such a field will be
Title, second row $2115 inserted in the drawing, according the corresponding rule
Drawn by $2102 number in the drawing form (if it exists).
Dep. $2103 When this function is entered, it tries to read the information
Date $2104 (if there is any) in the current drawing and when the SBFS
Tsc $2105 form appears this info will be shown in the appropriate fields.
If no information is found for a certain field, this field will be
Secy cl. $2107
empty.
Scale $2108
Size $2109 The function can handle three slightly different SBFS forms
Doc. Type $2110 as described below. The SBFS form to use is controlled by
the Default Keyword UPDATE_DRAW_INFO_FORM. The
Tot.sheet.no $2111
fields on the left are taken from the form SBFS #1.
Rev. $2112
Prj.c $2106 The last eight rule numbers (@600 - @607) are preceded by
Check $2116 the @ sign. These are rule numbers of type table. There can
be a total of ten rows for each such rule.
Appr. $2117
Appr. $2118 The procedure is to create a drawing framework according to
Signature $2119 the size of drawing form you wish to create. It is
Rev. @600 recommended to work at a scale of 1:1. The origin (point
where U=0 & V=0) should be at the bottom left hand corner
D @601 of the form.
P @602
Date @603 The easiest way to create a new drawing form is to take an
existing form and modify it. You can also start from scratch by
Rev. reason @604
opening a new drawing (without a drawing form) and
Zone ref @605 constructing the geometry of the form something like as
Apprv. @606 below: -
Desc. of rev. @607
52
You can also insert sub-pictures to the form.
One example of this might be adding the
company logo in the title block. When the
drawing is converted to a drawing form any
sub-picture structure is lost.
Use the Insert > Text function to add the rule text as shown below: -
Select Tools > Drawing form > Save…
The system will ask for the name of the reference form. A reference form is not needed by the system, it just makes
things easier for the user. If a reference form has been supplied, the system will ask if the rule parameters in the
form you are about to save should be defined automatically, via the reference form. In this case we will define from
scratch by choosing OK
The system will step through each rule one-at-a-time, highlighting the current rule, and asking for the following
information: -
Text Adjustment
Max number of characters
Max number of lines (applicable for table rules only)
Interline space factor (applicable for table rules only)
53
In this form always use 1 Flushed left for the Text Adjustment. The text will start at the rule text at the ‘$’ symbol
and then the text contents will appear to the right. The height of the final text will be the same as that of the rule text.
When all of the rule parameters have been defined, the system will allow you to update any of the existing rules by
picking from the defined rules list: -
Select OK. The form is stored on the database assigned to SBD_STD
Open a new drawing and use the drawing form A3_TEST
Select File > Properties and fill in the form as below: -
54
Select OK and see the values appear on the drawing as below: -
This type of drawing form is used throughout the system, and although many of them may seem
much more complex than this example, they are simply “more of the same”. Some examples are;
pipe sketches, assembly drawings, nesting drawings. For details of the rules available for each case
see the relevant User Guide for the application
55
4.2.1.1 Pipe Sketch Form Open the drawing PIPE_SKETCH_FORM
One of the most commonly changed forms is the pipe sketch form. This is really just a more complex version of the
previous drawing form. The drawings that use this form are created by the pipe splitting program.
A sample for the rule texts available for the pipe splitting program is shown below.
:
Management data:
position 1 @300
position 2 @301
rotation angle @302
:
See the “Pipe Users Guide, Background Jobs, Routines for creating Pipe Sketch Forms” for a full
listing of the available rule texts
Add the text as shown below and choose Tools > Drawing Form > Save…
The form is based on the main pipe sketch form in this project PSKETCHFORM_TBS
Then update the rules 100, 300, 301, 302 as below.
56
When finished select OK and Operation complete
Try splitting some pipes using this form
57
4.2.2 Modelling Forms
Modelling drawing forms are forms that include a layout of projections that can be used in modelling applications, one
example of these is the CV4 form that is included in the TTP training environment: -
Once the geometry is complete, use the function Tools
> Drawing form > Save
Key in a name for the form and press OK
The system then prompts for the view definitions. Choose Intersection.
Then indicate the bottom left corner (1) followed by the top right corner
(2) of the lower left area.
58
Choose the projection and Key in a name for the view
Continue this process until each of the views is defined as
shown on the left
Then select (Operation Complete)
Check the result by starting a new drawing using this form
and Insert model as on the right
You may wish to add symbols to each view describing the projections.
When complete use Tools > Drawing Form > Save to save the
form as before
During this operation you will be asked whether you wish to keep
the projections and/or whether you require additional views.
59
4.3 Sb029 Print symbol font drawing(s)
This program sb029 is used to create drawing(s) of symbols; the symbol drawing will be drawn on a predefined drawing
form, which has 12 symbol fonts per page. The main purpose of this utility is to create a symbol font book to stop the
duplication of symbols.
From the Tribon > M3 > Bin directory double click on the sb029.exe file
The following screen will appear
Enter 1 to create drawing(s) of symbols
Enter the Font number required for this example we will use font 11
Enter the First symbol number in this case we will enter 1
Enter the Last symbol number in this case we will enter 12 (the symbol font drawing form only allows 12 symbols
per page)
The symbol number from 1 to 12 inclusive have been found and a drawing SB029_DWG1 has been created
Enter 0 to Exit program
60
The symbol font drawing can now be opened
Select Subpicture > Save as Std Hatch Pattern
from the Tools menu.
Indicate the Subpicture and then select Yes from the dialogue box
61
The Save in Hatch pattern Book dialogue box appears, select OK
A new dialogue box now appears; select a detail description that requires replacing with the new hatch pattern or a
detail that is not yet defined, then select OK
Key in the description for the new hatch pattern, and then select OK
Select (Operation complete) to exit from function. The pattern can then be used for hatching: -
Try drawing some other types of hatch pattern and using them on the closed contour.
62
4.5 Standard Details
Any sub-picture can be stored as a standard detail in the standards databank, SB_STD. This can later be retrieved and
re-used in other drawings.
Standard Details are stored in a Standard Book where (in this example) ‘2’ represents the page number and associated
with the page is a description: ‘INSTRUMENT MASTS’. The creation and maintenance of the individual sub-pictures are
handled by the Drafting application. The program SB028 handles the maintenance of the standard books.
63
4.5.1.3 List All Page Descriptions
This function will add to the list file all page descriptions defined in the current book. The same information will also be
displayed on the screen.
64
4.5.1.7 Change Standard Description
This function allows the user to change the description of a certain standard. By giving the page number, the existing
standards within that page are listed. By giving the desired standard number, the old description is displayed, then the
new description is supplied by user.
NOTE! <CR> means step back, while one or more spaces makes the description empty.
Select Tools > Subpicture > Save as Std Detail (Indicate the Mast and choose level 2)
65
Select INSTRUMENT MASTS
Select 1
The Sub-picture is now stored as a Standard Detail named ‘RADAR MAST’
The standard sub-picture can be inserted into
arrangement drawings in the early design phase
The scale of the subpicture will vary with the scale of the
level 1 sub-picture (owner).
66
4.6 Standard Units
A Standard Unit, as it is referred to here, is a collection of Model Objects which together may represent a standard
assembly that the shipyard may use many times across multiple projects.
Material Number
Weight
Standard ID
Connection points e.t.c.
Select Tools > Volume > Create Unit
Key-in a name for the unit – ‘WINCH_MODULE’
Indicate the sub-picture and choose level 1: -
Select Operation Complete – the system calculates the
combined weight of the selected objects.
The unit is stored on the db assigned to SBD_VOLUME. It
can now be used to represent a component (equipment)
or placed as a volume.
67
4.7 Standard Structures
Any structure that is re-used across multiple projects or many times on one project can be stored as a Standard
Structure.
When a structure is copied to the Standard Structure Data Bank it will get this standard reference according to the same
keyword. As long as this reference exists, it cannot be modified, it can however be moved and copied, not mirrored. To
be able to modify it, the reference to the standard structure has to be removed.
Note that whenever replacing a structure object, its assembly references will be removed. Also referenced assemblies
will loose their belonging structure objects.
See the Structure User Guide and the Structure Training Guide for full details of the concepts
regarding Standard Structure
It is normal that the customer develops his or her own component database. The main reason for this is that the
component database contains: -
The customers stock materials (tubing, cable trays, profiles etc)
The customers directly purchased materials (equipment, fittings, valves etc)
References to internal shipyard standards
References to national and international standards
Material numbers from the customers materials systems
Information representing the customers production methods / standards e.t.c.
68
4.8.2 Structured Naming
There is no absolute need to arrive at a structured naming convention. The customer might choose for instance to name
all components for the material number or standard id or similar. However in these cases it is more difficult for the user
to find the right component without constantly searching the database. Also, as these fields are already contained in the
component information, why duplicate them?
The following naming structure is only one suggestion that allows the user to quickly narrow the search. After a while
you can expect the modellers to automatically key-in the correct component names without having to search the
database.
Fields 1 to 4 will make up the Group Name and the Item Number is given by the Size. Therefore we might arrive at a
naming convention as below where the group name is divided up by ‘.’ and the item number is pre-fixed by ‘-‘: -
AA . BB . CC . DD – EE
Where: -
AA = Main class of component Group Name
BB = Sub Class of component
CC = Material type of Component
DD = Standard Item Number
EE = Size
4.8.2.2 Examples
PF.SO.01.16-100
Pipe Flange . Slip-on . Steel Ordinary . 16 Bar – 100 Nominal Diameter
PV.SDNRG.02.10-400
Pipe Valve . Screw Down Non-Return Globe . Cast Iron . 10 bar – 400 Nominal diameter
EL.CM.09.240-08
Electrical . Cable Multicore . Other Materials. 240 volts – 8 cores
SL.EQ.01.01-10012
Structure L Bar . Equal . Steel.Standard – 100x100x12
General components used for equipment could also be handled in a similar way: -
EP.CO. 01.500.450
Equipment Pump . Cargo oil . Steel . 500m3/hr – 450 DN
Please note that this is not an attempt to arrive at the optimum naming solution. That solution will probably differ for
each customer depending on his or her requirements. We are merely trying to explain some of the fundamentals.
69
4.9 Components, use of text file
It’s possible to use a text file format to output and create components. This may be useful when sending data to sub-
contractors, or for making large-scale changes to existing components. The two methods are: -
Components to file (su015)
Components from file (su016)
Editor
su015
Text File
su016
This is the same method that Tribon.com uses when downloading components (see next Chapter)
70
4.9.2 Components to file (su015)
Two files are produced comp_result.lst, indicating whether the components have been handled, and comp_syntax.dat,
which contains the components in text form. This format is referred to as TIL (Tribon Interpretive Language).
