Hull Databases

All Hull data is stored in Dabacon databases. Hull Design Model data is stored in databases of type DESI (that means, Initial Design, Structural Design and Detail Design data), while Hull Manufacturing data is stored in databases of type MANU. Other databases are also required for the Hull applications.

Hull data is stored in Dabacon as a combination of binary data (‘blobs’) and explicitly stored data. The binary data is for internal use within the Hull applications, while the explicitly stored Dabacon data is primarily for usage within the other applications (Design, Assembly Planning, Accommodation ), for the Common Application Framework (3D display, Explorer, Attribute queries ) and PML. The binary data is invisible outside the Hull modelling framework.

The binary data is synchronized with the explicit data upon Apply (see chapter Hull Workflow below).
