Collaborative design in Europe today and tomorrow

Igor Jurii - Tribon Solutions (UK) Ltd David Vukeli - BRODOPLAN d.d.

What happened to Tribon ?

! !

The 19th May AVEVA has acquired Tribon Solutions The merge of these two world leaders brings new ideas to: Shipbuilding & Offshore Industry Process & Power Plant Industry

Market considerations

It is clear that in the past decade:

Projects (ships) have increased their complexity Design and Production Processes are more discontinous Organisations involved are more fragmented

while:
Delivery time has been drastically reduced Costs have been cut in all the segments of the process IT design and communication tools price/performance dropped

In Europe the number and the size of the Shipyards is decreasing while the number of Design Agents is growing ...

! ! ! ! !

Supports the whole shipbuilding process i.e. from concept to delivery Full integration between design disciplines Highly automated and accurate production information Product data management built-in Powerful customisation tools

Create once, refine, re-use

Bringing a large cruise ship as an example:

It is known that the Detail Design of a project like this implies the creation of more than 10.000 panels !

Create once, refine, re-use

Dabacon characteristics

Specialised object database

Proven and continuously evolved (> 30 years) Open system (.NET, XML, COM, SQL ) Unlimited project size (64bit object addressing) Spanning multiple global locations Complete versioning Automatic spatial indexing
Dabacon

No infrastructure or administrative overheads e.g. no need for RDBMS as it is today

Dabacon Change Management Dabacon Change Management

!

Database architecture uniquely designed for tracking change

Every change by every user is recorded and responsibility and time noted
Changes can be labelled to support named object revisions Supports design and drawing change highlighting

Dabacon Spatial Indexing

!

Space management is a central function in ship and plant design

All applications must provide clash detection and clash management Interactive clash detection is important to productivity allowing designers to immediately correct problems

The database automatically maintains a six dimensional spatial index

For any single object preliminary clash detection is virtually instantaneous independent of project size Clashing can always be against the whole model (not just a working set)
