Aveva Marine – Structures

AVEVA Marine – Structures is a powerful 3D design and modeling tool used for creating the hull structure, internal frameworks, and steel outfitting in marine vessels and offshore installations. It supports the entire structural engineering lifecycle, from initial concept to fabrication and construction.

⚙️ Key Features of Aveva Marine Structures

  1. 3D Hull & Structure Modeling
    • Model everything from outer shell plates to bulkheads, decks, stiffeners, girders, and brackets.
    • Handles all ship structural zones: double bottoms, engine rooms, accommodation blocks, etc.
  2. Parametric & Rule-Based Design
    • Automates repetitive tasks using templates and rules.
    • Helps ensure classification society compliance (e.g., ABS, DNV, LR).
  3. Advanced Plate and Profile Handling
    • Supports curved and complex surfaces for hull plating.
    • Automatic nesting and cutting information for flat and curved plates.
  4. Block & Assembly Planning
    • Divide the ship into blocks for easier construction and assembly.
    • Plan weld sequences, lifting points, and fit-up tolerances.
  5. Clash Detection & Coordination
    • Real-time interference checks with piping, HVAC, cable trays, and equipment.
    • Ensures all disciplines are working in sync.
  6. Detailed Drawing Production
    • Automatic generation of:
      • General arrangement drawings
      • Profile & section views
      • Fabrication and assembly drawings
    • Fully customizable to meet yard standards.
  7. Bill of Materials & Weight Reports
    • Generates accurate material lists and weight estimates.
    • Helps in procurement and stability calculations.

🚢 Why It Matters in Shipbuilding

  • Efficient design of complex geometry
  • Early clash detection between steel and outfitting systems
  • Time and material savings through accurate planning
  • Direct output to production (cutting, welding, bending, etc.)

🔗 Integration with the AVEVA Marine Ecosystem

AVEVA Marine Structures connects seamlessly with:

  • Hull Design tools (for initial naval architecture work)
  • Outfitting (piping, HVAC, cable trays)
  • Production tools (for steel cutting and assembly)
  • AVEVA Global (for multi-site collaboration)

This ensures the entire design-to-build process is connected, with minimal rework and maximum accuracy.
