Bollinger's upper management, engi- neering was allowed to route pipe 2.5- in. and above. Bollinger's design group then generated spools and arrangements without structural backgrounds.

Bollinger's in-house engineering group then created outfitting parts and machinery arrangement in the model.

This was performed mid-way through the design and included the creation of a 2-D and 3-D model.

After the spools were fabricated in the yard for 2.5-in. and above piping, the yard requested smaller pipe runs and penetrations, indicating high confidence in both the design group and

ShipConstructor's capabilities.

This job was the first for which

Bollinger used ShipConstructor's Pipe module. The piping drawings were developed in 2-D and 3-D modeling. On their next job. Bollinger plans to devel- op piping arrangements, spools, machin- ery arrangements and penetrations in the

ShipConstructor model.

Albacore Research Ltd. will be show- ing ShipConstructor at OTC in Houston at booth 4173. ARL representatives will be on hand to demonstrate the new

ShipConstructor2005 version, which is scheduled for release in May 2004.

ShipConstructor2005 will include an improved Bill of Material (BOMs) and the anticipated appearance of the new

Hull module. The new smart BOMs are dynamically linked to the backend SQL server database to make updating pro- duction drawings much easier. The entire BOM is a smart object that the user can resize, while also changing col-

A change in a BOM will automatically update any labels in place, retaining the often-significant effort users have made when placing labels in the best position for produc- tion. The intelligent BOMs will also become part of the assembly drawings, enabling users to include labeled pipe spools, non-spooled pipe items and out- fit items based on the build strategy.

With the introduction of the Hull mod- ule, ARL will bring much of the func- tionality of the stand-alone ShipCAM

Offshore Annual solution into ShipConstructor, thus run- ning inside of AutoCAD. Users will be able to open ShipCAM files, import 3-

DM (Rhino), IDF (IMSA) and ICES (most hull design programs) files, and export to IGES. IDF and GHS formats.
