However, despite all these technological tool by discussing several case studies investigating the advancements, one of the key complexities that remain to potential risk of LNG systems. be tackled is that of material handling, especially in steel stockyards. One of the problems that a country like India Keywords: IQRA, LNG safety, quantitative risk currently faces, due to its absence of large scale assessment software, hierarchical modelling method, shipbuilding culture, is the lack of large scale expertise in parametric analysis complexities of material handling and lack of adequate research into digital infrastructure to tackle the problem.

  • Towards Immersive Designing of Production Processes Using Virtual Reality Techniques
    Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems 16(1), 110-123, 2018 TOWARDS IMMERSIVE DESIGNING OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES USING VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNIQUES Domagoj Buzjak and Zoran Kunica* University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture Zagreb, Croatia DOI: 10.7906/indecs.16.1.8 Received: 14 November 2017. Regular article Accepted: 11 February 2018. ABSTRACT The article provides a novel approach to the implementation of virtual reality within planning and design of manual processes and systems. The use of hardware and software required to perform different production especially assembly tasks in a virtual environment, using CAD parts as interactive elements, is presented. Considering the CAD parts, the format conversion problem is comprehensively described and solved using format conversion software to overcome the present poor data connectivity between the CAD system and virtual reality hardware and software. Two examples of work processes have been made in a virtual environment: peg-in-hole and wall socket assembly. In the latter case, the traditional planning approach of manual assembly tasks using predetermined motion time system MTM-2 has been compared with a modern approach in which the assembly task is fully performed within a virtual environment. The comparison comprises a discussion on the assembly task execution times. In addition, general and specific advantages and disadvantages that arise in the immersive designing of production processes using virtual reality are presented, as well as reflections on teamwork and collaborative man-machine work. Finally, novel technologies are proposed to overcome the main problems that occur when implementing virtual reality, such as time-consuming scene defining or tedious CAD software data conversion.

Abstract This report is the Phase I final report of the National Shipbuilding Research F'rogram (NSRP) project (Project Number 4-94-1) to evaluate world-class shipbuilders' existing CADICAMICIM system implementations. Five U.S. shipyards participated in this study along with personnel from University of Michigan, Proteus Engineering, and Cybo Robots. Project participants have backgrounds in design, computer-aided design (CAD), n~anufacturingprocesses, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), production planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing/management (CIM). The results of this evaluation provided the basis for the CADICAMICIM Workshop presented in conjunction with the 1996 Ship Production Symposium, and will be used as background in Phase I1 of the project to develop requirements for future shipbuilding CADICAMICIM systems.

  • COMPIT Paper
    History and Evolution of Shipbuilding Oriented CAD Tools Rodrigo Perez Fernandez, SENER, Madrid/Spain, [email protected] Carlos Gonzalez Lopez, SENER, Madrid/Spain, [email protected] Abstract This paper traces the history of ship design since Roman times, when ship designers began to use curves for drawing frames, through the Venetian techniques (XIII-XVI centuries) reusing templates, to the most modern methods for ship design with FORAN. The FORAN software offers a comprehensive process for the design and construction of ships, offshore platforms and submarines, with the help of computers. It was conceived as an advanced engineering technique for improving the design and reducing the construction period of a vessel. This paper traces the history of this CAD system, since its organization was differentiated into two stages: design (modules from F.1 to F.7) and production (F.8 to F.22); until the recent advances in integration with Product Lifecycle Managements, Virtual Reality and the near future where all the ship product information will be accessible in electronic devices, allowing paper-less design. 1. Introduction to CAD systems Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Systems help engineers and designers in various industries, designing and building 3D models of airplanes, cars, bridges, digital cameras ... and of course, ships, submarines and floating structures. There are other acronyms that are usually accompanying the acronym CAD, such as Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), including instructions to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) ma- chines. One could claim that these CAD/CAM/CAE Systems had their origin around the year 350 BC, with the mathematician Euclid of Alexandria.
