Ship Hull Equipment Smart Modelling in 3Dexperience.

In today's highly competitive industry, product development and manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex while the environment in which engineers work has changed. The development and advancement of digital collaboration software that integrates design, development and product lifecycle management is increasingly prevalent in shipbuilding. Namely, the high degree of integration of the ship structure design process with information related to the construction and equipment of the ship is directly related to the level of competitiveness of the shipbuilding project company or shipyard. The need for faster design and quick and accurate control of product quality in the early stages of ship design has encouraged the development and implementation of the latest generation of collaborative software, which has powerful capabilities for managing and improving the process of ship design, construction and exploitation. This paper will describe a "smart" modelling technique based on parametric modelling, the application of user-defined feature (UDF) functionality, the definition of Component family and relevant coding for selected elements of ship equipment in the modern shipbuilding, Industry 4.0 ready, platform 3D EXPERIENCE, to increase efficiency and quality when modelling repetitive elements of ship hull equipment.
