CHAPTER 2

2 Assembly Planning Overview

2.1 Description

Assembly Planning provides functionality to manage the production breakdown structure of the vessel. It supports the definition of the vessel build strategy and the creation of assembly production information. The hierarchical assembly tree (the production breakdown structure) is defined and maintained in parallel with the design and modelling work. The rough build strategy is defined in the early phase of a project, and further refined into a detailed build strategy along with the refinement of the model. As soon as model parts are available in Design, they can be collected to nodes in the assembly tree. Thus the Assembly view of the product is available from the very beginning of the design, and is continuously developed during the design process. Assembly Planning allows the detailed design model to be viewed as a production model.

With Assembly Planning the complete production breakdown structure is created and maintained. This includes the production hierarchy for the hull, but also the installation of equipment, electrical, HVAC and outfit steel. An assembly could be a physical steel unit (including outfit installation), but an assembly could also correspond to a space (e.g. a compartment or a room) and thereby include all the prefabricated units, material and components to be installed into this space. The figure below shows a view from an Assembly Planning session.

Its main features are as follows:

Tools for creation and manipulation of the Assembly Tree. Tools for the collection of objects / parts to assemblies. Automatic Assembly Drawings and Assembly Parts Listing.

2.2 Assembly Planning Data Model

The data model for assemblies as depicted below is built by ASMBLY type of elements (as shown in the Design Explorer view below). The assemblies (ASMBLY) are referring to design elements through proxy elements (ASITEM) which are not visible to the user. The top most element of an assembly structure is the Assembly World (ASWL) element.

(13)

2.3 User Interface

The main Assembly Planning functions are to be found in a separate assembly planning window consisting of an assembly tree and an attached list view. Some functions are presented in a toolbar while others are available from context sensitive popup menus in assembly tree and related list view. The assembly tree view and list view supports drag and drop operations between nodes in assembly tree and items in list view. The list view supports multiple selections.

2.3.1 Toolbar Functions

Filter Assemblies can be defined with different types. Only assemblies of the selected type will be shown in the tree and list view. Optionally the filtering can affect the contents displayed in the graphical view.

Sort tree The Assembly tree can be sorted by name or by assembly sequence. When sorted according to assembly sequence the collected design parts are enumerated along with the

One level up Go one level up in the assembly tree.

Edit sequence This enables/disables the possibility for the user to change the assembly sequence. When enabled the interrelated order of items can be changed by drag & drop operations in the list view.

Collect rules The type of element to be collected can be set through a dialogue where the user ticks the type of elements to be considered during a collect operation.

Visuals

elements collected/not collected. In this function it is also possible to tick if the assembly type filter should affect the graphical view (see Filter above).

(14)

2.3.2 Context Sensitive Menu Functions

The context sensitive menus in assembly tree and list view contain functions that operate on the assembly structure. The number of menu items displayed depends on which node type is selected in the assembly hierarchy. The full list displayed at assembly level is shown below:

Report The assembly planning report functions for Hull Material Summary and Parts lists.

Cut Moves the selected items to a new position in the assembly tree, use cut & paste or drag & drop operations in the assembly tree and list view.

Copy Copies the selected assembly structure (excluding parts) to a new position in the assembly tree. Operations are performed by copy & paste in the assembly tree or in the list view.

Copy (including

symmetrical hull parts)

An ordinary copy operation excludes elements collected to the assembly structure. This special function considers hull parts that are symmetrical and assign the corresponding replica of a symmetrical part to the copied

assembly structure.

Rename This function is used to change the name of a local assembly node.

Remove By this function the selected assembly and its sub-structure will be removed and references to collect design parts will be dissolved. If design part is selected, remove means the part will be de-selected from assembly.

New Assembly This function creates a new child assembly below the selected assembly in the tree view. If this function is entered in the assembly tree view, the new child assembly becomes selected, if entered in the list view, the parent assembly remains selected. This can be significant for efficient multiple assembly creation, either hierarchically or creation at the same level.

Insert Assembly This function extends the assembly hierarchy by insertion of an assembly in between existing assemblies. Items selected, design parts, assemblies or a part folder at entrance to the function will be put into the created assembly.

(15)

Weld The Weld Planning functions are accessed from this menu option.

For more information see Chapter 6 - Weld Planning

Collect CE The design part graphically selected in the 3D view will be collected to the target assembly.

Set Current Element The assembly or design part element selected in assembly tree or list view is made current element (CE) by this function.

Make Selection The operation creates a graphical selection in 3D view from a selection set of items in assembly tree or list view. If the items are not available in the 3D view they will be added automatically. When the items become marked as selected in 3D view you can then use general graphical tools like e.g. Zoom to Selection. The user can compose the selection set of multiple selected design parts and assemblies. For assemblies, design parts directly collected to them are selected.

Make Hierarchy Selection This function works in the same way as function Make Selection above, but design parts are taken from all sub assemblies in the hierarchy below the selected assembly.

Show Sequence The function reveals, in 3D view, each member of the assembly one by one by fading them from transparency to opacity. If the member is a design part, the part is faded. If the member is a sub-assembly, all design parts in that subassembly's sub-tree is faded. When this function is entered the user interface changes mode and the assembly tree is hidden and the list view for the assembly acts as a control facility for the sequence animation. The toolbar also changes to the one controlling the animation. You have the ability to play, pause and restart the animation. Consecutive revealed parts are marked on the list. By changing the selection mark, with mouse or keyboard, the user can step to any point in the sequence animation. Click the Settings button to open a settings dialog on which the user can change the speed of the animation. To quit the animation mode click the Close

button.

Properties Assembly information and properties can be defined i.e. orientation of assembly, destination, etc.

Collapse all The function collapses all nodes in the entire assembly tree.

Set as root The function elevates the selected assembly node to be the top level element in the assembly window.

2.3.3 Using the Design Explorer to Collect Parts

Collect/Extract Parts using Assembly Tree

Beside the Collect graphical selection, the way to populate the assembly structure by design part elements is through drag & drop of parts from the Design Explorer into a target assembly in the assembly tree or assembly list view. The type of design part elements considered during a collect operation is configured by the Collect rules function above. Design parts already collected can change location in assembly structure through drag & drop and cut & paste operations within the assembly tree. Design parts are extracted by the

(16)

2.4 Viewing the Model

Assembly Planning uses the Design Explorer and the 3D viewer common to other AVEVA Marine applications. In addition to this there is an Assembly Tree and List viewer as shown in the Assembly

Design Explorer and the Assembly Tree into the 3D viewer.

2.5 Production (Assemblies)

The Design Explorer also allows the user to view the Assembly status for a project. Within the Design Tree there is a parent node Assembly World (ASWL) Production, and the assembly set-up created within the Assembly Planning application for the current production environment are available below this node.

The Assembly Planning functions are NOT available in the Design Explorer. They must be accessed from the Assembly Planning window

(17)

CHAPTER 3

3 Design and Assembly Trees

3.1 The Design Tree

The Design Treereflects the model structure as contained in the AVEVA Marine design databases. The tree is located in a window of the AVEVA Marine applications under the Design Explorer, and is structured with the following main categories:

Compartments Shows the early design compartmentation of the selected vessel.

Design Blocks

be a major design block covering the entire ship, or smaller blocks defining more specific design areas of the ship). Parts should not be collected from design blocks.

Outfitting Zones Outfit models are shown here and are usually grouped by type i.e. pipe, equipment, structure, etc.

Production Blocks Hull panels, profiles, brackets etc. are shown here and are grouped by Blocks.

Reference Surfaces Reference surface objects released from Surface and Compartment, may be used to define hull panel locations.

Sculptured Surfaces The surfaces of the vessel.

The view shown in the Design Explorer is defined by the order and content of the MDB assigned to Assembly Planning users.

3.1.1 Production Blocks

The Production Blocks section of the Model Tree has a hierarchical structure for grouping of the hull model items.

Under each block node will be the nodes for grouping of the Planar and Curved Panels, and under each of these nodes is the model name given to each panel. Each panel will have nodes for the grouping of Plates, Stiffeners, Flanges etc., depending upon the components each panel contains. Under each of these nodes is the model name given to each part.

(18)

3.1.2 Outfitting Sites and Zones

The Outfit Modules are also a hierarchical structure. Immediately under SITE or AREA node is the list of ZONEs or COMPARTMENTs.

:AREA and :COMPARTMENT are User Defined Element Types

Beneath each Zone or Area are the nodes for each type of Outfit model items and under each of these nodes are the model names given to each item.

Under each model item there are further levels of the tree, depending upon the type of item, and also the model status of each item, and these are defined as follows:

Equipment, Volume, and Structure elements will have part levels beneath the model name.

Pipes, HVACs and Cableways have branch elements beneath the model items and beneath the branch elements there are part levels.

For Pipes and HVACs that have been spool defined, beneath the main pipe/hvac model name will be a folder called PSLIST or HSLIST (pipe and hvac spool list)

(19)

3.2 The Assembly Tree

The Assembly Tree(the production breakdown structure) is the method used to describe the hierarchy of assemblies within the Design Model. The

containing two parts welded together. Therefore the assembly hierarchy may be described as a series of

-The parent node has several immediate children usually termed as sub-assemblies. -These sub-assemblies, in turn become parents to other sub-ordinate sub-assemblies and so on.

The Assembly Tree appears in the left hand side of the Assembly Planning application under the Top Assembly node. When expanding an assembly node in the tree view, there will be one node for each subassembly plus a number of subfolders. Each subfolder can be expanded to see the contents. There will be a separate subfolders for parts.

3.2.1 Expanding and Collapsing the Assembly Tree

To expand the node in the assembly tree, the following methods can be used: 1. Click on the plus sign to the left of the node.

2. Double click on the node name.

In both situations the tree will be expanded below the selected node.

To collapse the nodes repeat the process:

1. Click on the minus sign to the left of the name. 2. Double click on the node name.

Assembly (Parent) Sub-Assembly Sub-Assembly Sub-Assembly

(20)

3.2.2 Creating an Assembly

Indicate the node in the assembly tree, below which the new assembly should be created. Select the function New Assembly on the right click context

menu.

A new assembly is created, and the user is prompted to key in the name of the new assembly. The new assembly will get the temporary name "New Assembly", which must be changed to a real assembly name by the user.

3.2.3 Renaming an Assembly

Indicating the assembly node and selecting the function Rename on the right click context menu allows the user to rename the assembly.

3.2.4 Copy an Assembly

A branch of the assembly tree (including all sub-branches) can be copied to another location in the tree. To copy the assembly structure, select the assembly/assemblies to copy, right-click and choose Copy, then select a parent assembly that the copied assemblies will belong to, then right-click and choose Paste.

(A message -name)

The assembly, including all its subordinate assemblies is now copied to the new position in the assembly tree. All part references are removed. All assembly properties will be reset to their default values.

(21)

3.2.5 Move an Assembly

A branch of the assembly tree (including all sub-branches) can be moved to another location in the tree. To move an assembly/assemblies there are two options:

Select the assembly/assemblies to move, right-click and select Cut, then select a parent assembly that the assemblies will belong to, then right-click and select Paste.

Alternatively click on the assembly to be moved, then drag and drop to move the assembly and all collected items to its new parent assembly node.

The selected assembly node will be disconnected from its parent assembly and moved to the new position in the assembly tree, together with all its subordinate assemblies. The references to collected parts will be kept.

3.2.6 Remove an Assembly

Indicating the assembly node and selecting the function Remove on the right click context menu will delete the assembly.

The indicated assembly node and all subordinate assemblies will be deleted.

All parts collected to these assemblies will be reset to non-collected.

The user is asked to confirm the Remove operation before the actual deletion is performed.

(22)

3.2.7 Find in Assembly Tree

When Assembly Planning is invoked an additional add-in is loaded and the Find In Assembly Tree is added to the Design Explorer right click context menu. Thus, the user can search the assembly tree for the selected items.

Within the Assembly Tree, icons are used to represent models, parts etc.

When the Assembly tree is expanded down to the parts level, then similar icons may be used to represent parts in Hull and Outfit in the assembly tree.

The part name is also displayed and the item type. An extract of HVAC icons and reference texts shown opposite:

Some examples of icon representations are shown below.

inistration functions and are not covered in this document. See TM-2120 AVEVA Marine (12.1) System Administration (Basic)

Click the assembly node, right click and then select Properties

An input box will appear so the user can edit/add the following relevant information:

Assembly name The name of the current assembly (it is also possible to rename the assembly here).

Parent assembly The name of the parent assembly.

Assembly Type Assemblies can be categorized into "Assembly Types". An assembly type may have a work location and destination.

Description A description of the current assembly.

Working Location An assembly has a work location and destination attribute. These attributes can be used to define where an assembly shall be manufactured and where it shall be transported to after the assembly process. Both attributes refer to actual building locations in a shipyard.

Destination .

Build Strategy Information of how to produce the assembly.

Predefined orientation Information about how the assembly should be orientated during the manufacturing activity. The Orientation will determine the view projections in the Automatic Assembly Drawing generation.

(25)

The orientation can be set to: Upright Upside down Fore down Aft down Portside down Starboard down Specific panel Automatic

When the Orientation is set to Specific, a base panel must be appointed.

The orientations are fetched from a pull-down menu:

Base Panel A base panel must be specified if the Orientation is set to Specific. If Orientation = Specific panel, the base panel is given by the user, by selecting one of the panels in the assembly. The selection is made from a drop-down list, listing all the panels in the assembly. If Orientation = Automatic, the application will determine the

appropriate base panel by searching for the panel plate (within the assembly), with the largest area. In both cases, the side where the majority of the parts are located determines the busy side of the panel. The base panel could be planar or knuckled.

Estimated Weight An estimated weight can be keyed-in by the user.

Estimated COG An estimated COG can be keyed-in by the user.

Exercise 1 (Creating an Assembly)

In this instance a work scope has been defined for a sub-contractor TPS. The first block in their scope is F401, this has been broken down further into sub-assemblies including some outfitting items.

Create the assembly node structure directly below the top assembly node ASSY. As shown below. The properties of each assembly are shown on the following pages. It is more efficient if the properties are added to the assemblies before copying them.

If copying an assembly to the same node a naming conflict will occur, to overcome this, copy the assembly to a higher level node, rename then move to the desired location.

CHAPTER 4

4 Collecting Parts

The normal method of collection is to collect already existing parts from the design model.

4.1 Collecting Parts to an Assembly

The easiest method is to create a view containing the parts to be collected. The view can also contain

surrounding parts th of parts may be performed in three ways.

4.1.1 Collection using Drag & Drop

Select the assembly that the parts will be collected to by left clicking on it in the Assembly Tree.

Indicate a part in the Design Explorer. If the part has been added to the 3D window it will be highlighted. Now drag and drop the part from the Design Explorer onto the Assembly tree node or the adjacent window as shown below.

The parts that have been collected will be listed in the window as shown right.

The part is now collected to the highlighted assembly. In the Design Explorer the text beside the part has changed from NA to A. A=

Assembled NA= Not assembled

(36)

In the assembly tree, the assembly now has a folder Parts in which the collected parts can be seen

If the Visuals option has been set, the user will notice that the element has different visual properties once it has been collected to an assembly. This feature assists the user to see what has been collected in the 3D View and just as importantly what has not been collected.

Where an individual pipe component e.g. TUBI is to be collected, the Ctrl key should be held down while dragging and dropping (TUBI must be made visible in the Design Explorer and appropriate collection rules should be set, see 4.5).

4.1.2 Collecting using Edit Members

Collecting parts with Edit Members has similar principles as the collect using drag and drop function. The benefit of using Edit Members is that it allows multiple collections in one action. To access Edit Members click View > Addins > Edit Members

Selections made within the Design Explorer dictate what is shown in the edit members menu.

From the Edit Members menu highlight the parts required for the assemblies, using the shift and control key to pick multiple parts. Drag and drop onto the assembly node or into the parts window.

For further information on Edit Member tools, see the User Documentation.

4.1.3 Selection from Graphical View

Select the assembly node, click on the item in the graphical view, then right click on the assembly and choose Collect graphical selection

By holding down the Ctrl button multiple selections can be made in the graphical view and then collected to the assembly. A fence may also be dragged around a group of components to be collected, the shift key can be used when creating a fence to remove items from an existing group, the control key can also be used to add or remove individual items from a fenced region.

(37)

4.2 Using Visuals

The visual functions can be used to help distinguish between collected and non-collected parts in the viewer. Click the Visuals icon on Assembly Planning form

Set the Assembly Planning Visuals as shown, make the translucency 50 and click Ok The collected parts are coloured blue and are translucent. The non-collected parts have their default representation.

The customised colour and translucency settings will be saved when exiting Assembly Planning but will be turned off when re-entering the application.

4.3 Removing Parts from an Assembly

Highlight the part(s) in the Assembly list and select Remove from right click context menu. Multiple selections can be made by holding down the Ctrl / Shift keys.

Confirm that you wish to remove the part from the assembly when prompted with the following message:

In the Design Explorer the parts will change from status A to NA.

4.4 Saving the Assembly collections

Depending on whether you are in Outfitting or Hull Design, choose Design >Save Work or File >Save Work to save the assembly information.

(38)

4.5 Collect Rules

As model items are created differently (panels, pipes, equipment, structures, etc.), different ways of collection needs to be provided. The previous section described the common procedure for collection; the following are different processes depending upon the modelled item.

The collect rules window can be opened by clicking on the

Collect rules icon.

This button opens a dialog where the user can tick the type of elements to be considered during a collect operation. The settings will vary from customer to customer depending on the use of AVEVA Marine.

There now follows a brief explanation of some of the considerations for different types of design elements.

4.5.1 Pipe and HVAC

Pipes and HVAC are created and manufactured as spools therefore they will normally be collected as spools. It is also possible to collect pipe and HVAC by e.g. pipe, branch or part. By checking a box the user can effectively enable collection at that level, unchecking an item will allow collection of possible

descendants or ancestors.

Pipe example shown, PSLIST set to PSPOOL items can only be collected at PSPOOL level from the Design Explorer.

HSLIST set to HSPOOL items can only be collected at HSPOOL level from the Design Explorer.

The following examples are also applicable to HVAC assemblies.

(39)

4.5.2 To Collect the Complete Pipe

Set the collection rules with PIPE checked.

In the assembly planning window, highlight the assembly that the pipe is to be collect to. Then drag and drop the pipe from the design explorer into the assembly list window. The pipe will be added to the assembly as one entity.

If collecting from the graphical display, selecting any component will automatically collect the pipe when PIPE is checked. After selecting the pipe right click on the assembly node and select Collect graphical selection.

4.5.3 To Collect a Pipe Spool:

Set the collection rules with PSPOOL checked.

In the assembly planning window, highlight the assembly the spool should be collected to. Then drag and drop the spool from the design explorer into the assembly list window. The spool will be added to the assembly as one entity.

If collecting from the graphical display, selecting one component will automatically collect the spool when PSPOOL is checked. After selecting the spool right click on the assembly node and select

(40)

4.5.4 To Collect a Pipe Branch

Set the collection rules with BRANCH checked.

Then drag and drop the branch into the assembly list. You will see that this time, the branch appears in the list. If the pipe is dragged in it will be displayed as the

constituent branches as shown below.

If collecting from the graphical display, selecting one component will automatically collect the branch when BRANCH is checked. After selecting the branch right click on the assembly node and select

Collect graphical selection.

4.5.5 To Collect Pipe Components

Set the collection rules with BRANCH unchecked. Ensure each component type to be collected is checked. Any components not be collected should be unchecked.

Where only individual pipe components e.g. FLAN, BEND, TUBI is to be collected, the Ctrl key should be held down while dragging and dropping.

Drag and drop the individual components onto the assembly node.

Dragging and dropping a PIPE or BRANCH onto the assembly node will result in all the constituent parts being added to the assembly.

If collecting from the graphical display, select each component, use fence mode and shift key to allow multiple selections, items may also be deselected using this method. After selecting the components to be collected right click on the assembly node and select Collect graphical selection.

(41)

4.5.6 Structure

Structures are created as model items that are usually made of a lot of individual parts; therefore it is possible to collect the structure at different levels e.g. as a complete structure, as substructures, as a framework or as individual parts.

If the collection rules are set with STRUCTURE checked then the collection will bring in the entire structure regardless of which component level is selected when dragging and dropping or selecting in the graphical view. Similarly if FRMWORK is checked the entire framework will be collected.

If FRMWORK is checked and the top level structure is dragged and dropped for collection, then the individual frameworks will be listed in the assembly collection window.

When only the lower level components are checked then the individual components will be collected and listed in the assembly collection window The individual components will be displayed in the assembly collection window regardless of which level in the structure hierarchy is selected for collection from the Design Explorer.

(42)

4.5.7 Panels

Hull panels are created from plates, profiles, flanges, brackets, etc. and are normally collected as these individual items. However it is also possible to collect the complete panel that contains the individual items. For hull panels, the model collection can take place in the model graphics display view or the model tree.

4.5.8 Collect a Complete Panel

1. Pre-select the node in the Assembly tree list window, then drag and drop the panel into the list window, or

2. Drag and drop the panel from the design explorer onto the node to which it should belong in the Assembly tree.

The individual items will be seen in the list

4.5.9 Re-allocating Parts

If any parts are already collected to another assembly, a warning will be given for confirmation if the parts should be moved to the new assembly OK, or if they should be rejected and remain in the original assembly,

(43)

4.6 Assembly sequence

The assembly sequence is the order in which the parts and assemblies are put together. The user can edit this sequence and play it back graphically which gives a view of how to assemble the product.

4.6.1 Editing the Assembly Sequence

By default the sequence reflects the order in which the parts have been collected, not the order in which the assembly will be built.

The sequence can be edited by selecting

Edit Sequence from the Assembly planning form.

Now the user can drag items around in the assembly list. The topmost items (low numbers) are assembled first and the bottommost items (high numbers) assembled last.

When satisfied with sequence click the Edit Sequence button to exit Edit sequence mode.

4.6.2 Playing back the Assembly Sequence

The sequence can be viewed by right-clicking on the assembly and selecting Show sequence

(44)

A very simple example of an assembly sequence is shown below:

The Show Sequence window can be closed by clicking the Close button. Try using the sequence functions on some simple steel assemblies.

The views above do not take into account the orientation of the assembly, the view may be manipulated to give the best display of parts being added.

4.7 Assembly Calculations

The following properties can be calculated for each Assembly object. Weight

COG

Bounding box

Base panel (if Orientation is set to Automatic) Orientation transformation matrix

The calculations are made in the background during the creation of assembly drawings and assembly parts lists. See Chapter 5 - Assembly Drawings and Assembly Parts Lists for more details.

Weight

The weight of the assembly is calculated considering all subordinate assemblies and all collected parts.

COG (Centre of Gravity)

The centre of gravity for the assembly is calculated in ship (global) coordinates.

Bounding Box

The bounding box of the assembly is calculated in ship (global) coordinates.

Base Panel

If the Orientation is set to Automatic, the appropriate Base panel will be determined.

Orientation Transformation Matrix

The Transformation matrix is calculated from the Orientation. For Specific and Automatic, the base panel is oriented with the busy side facing up. The Orientation position is listed in the Assembly Parts.In the Assembly Automatic Drawing (see Chapter 5) this Orientation of the assembly can be seen, depending whether the assembly is given a set position (Upright, Fore Down, etc.) or giving Specific/Automatic.

Exercise 2 (Collecting Parts)

Collect the Hull and Outfit items to each assembly:

Any parts collected to existing assemblies can be re-assigned to the newly created assemblies.

The Hull items can be found in the Aft area of Design BLOCK F401.

Cableways can be found in SITE ELECT_4DK_FWD, ZONE 403-CABLE-001, CWAY CT_403-002/F. Equipment e.g. EQUI SWC1001 can be found in SITE EQUIP_4DK_FWD, ZONE 403-EQUIP. Piping can be found in SITE PIPE_4DK_FWD, ZONE 403-PIPE.

Structures e.g. 403_FOUN-009 can be found in SITE OUTSTEEL_4DK_FWD, ZONE 403-STRCT Use the Search Utility Addin to find outfit items by name if necessary.

Take time to familiarize yourself with block F401 before collecting parts, including shell plate. BHD HPANEL F204-R_TB16_2 also needs to be added. Assemblies are not restricted to owning block.

As previously explained assemblies can be a collection of items (parts, spools, and panels), a collection of assemblies, or a combination of assemblies and parts. It is advised to complete the assemblies that only contain parts first. It may also be necessary to change collection rules to ensure the correct level of parts are collected

Below are graphical arrangements to show the assembly areas, shell plates omitted for clarity.
