Structural Design
For structural design with analysis, cost estimates
and transition to detailed design
A major challenge for a shipyard is to be able to manage the early
design of a ships structure in a timely manner, without losing touch
with a wide range of parameters. Among many other tasks, the
shipyards design office, or their specialised design agents, needs
to define a hull structure that complies with classification society
rules, to use Finite Element calculation methods to check the overall
strength of the ship, and to estimate weight and material list. And all
of this in a setting where change is the rule rather than the exception.
AVEVA Hull Structural Design is an integrated suite of ship design tools
developed for naval architects and design engineers who seek advanced and
practical tools.
AVEVA Hull Structural Design is used for the preliminary definition and
arrangement of the ships structures. The application helps in making
important decisions regarding naval architectural characteristics, the
preliminary geometry definition and the arrangement of principal structural
members.
Classification drawings, steel material estimates, weld lengths, and Weights
and Centre of Gravity reports are produced with AVEVA Hull Structural Design.
Business Benefits
z Time saved in the project.
Flexible modelling and
drafting tools allow the
creation, in only a few hours,
of the structural model for
classification documents.
The same structural model
can be used at an early stage
in outfitting design.
z Project elapsed time and
design man-hours are
saved through the option of
maintaining automatically
synchronisable parallel views
of the structural design and
the detailed design. In this
way, detailed design can
start before the structural
design is approved and can
be continuously updated in a
controlled manner.
z Save time and expense in
the creation of classification
documents by reusing earlier
production designs. These
can easily be converted to
a structural design with the
removal of block seams and
other production details.
z Optimise production costs
by easily investigating the
costs for different design
alternatives and block
divisions for the project.

Key Features
Integration with other AVEVA Marine products
AVEVA Hull Structural Design is a tool for rapid definition and
analysis during the structural design phases of a project. Hull
Structural Designs close integration with other AVEVA Marine
applications ensures smooth and rapid design development.
The preliminary structural definition and topological
dependencies developed by AVEVA Hull Structural Design can
be used in other AVEVA applications for detailed design and the
preparation of production information. This is made possible
by the advanced block splitting function, which transforms the
basic design structure into production blocks.
After block splitting, the two views of the steel structural model
are kept synchronised so that any change to a design panel will
automatically affect the corresponding production panel.
Block Division
With the block division functions in Hull Structural Design, the
overall basic hull design can be divided, along customer-defined
block seams, into detailed design blocks and panels, which
can then be further refined in the AVEVA Hull Detailed Design
application.
Block splitting
Links to classification societies software and programs for FEMbased strength calculations
AVEVA Hull Structural Design has powerful interfaces to
classification societies software programs for rule checking and
strength calculations.
Classification Drawings
The built-in drafting features of the system provide a highly
productive way of creating the classification drawings. The
drawings can be made in parallel with the modelling of the 3D steel
structure through the close integration between modelling and
drafting tasks.
