Storing Changes after Running Production Programs

Description

The production programs are not updating any data in design databases (DESI) anymore. Furthermore, some objects previously stored in manufacturing databases (MANU) are not stored at all.

Bracket panels have until now been split and stored as plate parts in MANU. The brackets pointing at that bracket panel have been stored without geometry, but with a reference to the bracket panel plate part. From now on the information stored in the bracket panel plate part is copied into the bracket plate part and the bracket panel plate part will no longer be stored.

Sub panel plate parts have until now been split and stored as plate parts in MANU. Since the main panel plate parts are either referring to a single sub plate or to two or more sub plates and the main panel plate parts are built up by these parts, there is no need to have the sub panel parts stored in MANU.

When creating bending templates for a curved plate, previously the sight plane and sight line plane were stored in the plate in DESI. This information will from now on be stored in the plate templates in MANU.

When creating plate jigs for curved panels, previously the calculated assembly plane and some additional information about the orientation of the plate jigs were stored in the curved panel in DESI. From now on this information is stored in the plate jigs in MANU.

When creating jig pillars for curved panels, previously the jig pillar was stored in DESI. The jig pillar contains information similar to that stored in the plate jigs. From now on the jig pillars are stored in MANU and the orientation information is no longer copied to the curved panel.

Benefits

This change means an improved structure of stored data, and is beneficial for projects using Global.

Compatibility Constraints

Projects created in an earlier AVEVA Marine release needs to be upgraded before continued use with AVEVA Marine 12.1. The upgrade will change the storing of selected objects as described above, as well as reorganise the MANU contents (described in another release note).

For More Information

Further details of the upgrading of old projects are given in the 12.0 to 12.1 Upgrade manual.
