AVEVA Design Reuse

Description

Design Reuse is a tool to simplify the work required to copy design data between projects and thereby reuse design work. Design data that is copied is re-generated and adapted to the design context of the target project. Copying design data follows an export/import scenario with an intermediate storage in a Transfer Set. The functionality provided is accessible through the command line and through a graphical user interface. Design Reuse is made as a so-called addin and is hosted by the Hull Design, Outfitting Design and Marine Drafting modules.

Design Reuse requires a specific license.

Benefits

• Very useful for design reuse between ships. The design is copied from one ship to another and adapted to the second ship. The model is re-generated and adapted to the design context of the second ship.

• Support for different naming conventions by fully customisable name substitution rules.

• Maintains the references within the model as well as between drawings and models by reference adaptation at import to the second ship.

• Drawings keep their associations and are updated at import.

• GUI for interactive usage inside Hull Design / Outfitting Design / Marine Drafting.

• Commands supporting all available functions.

• Provides high level customisation through trigger functions.

• Sisterships can be synchronized by customer written automation scripts executed at regular intervals.
