Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a ship production design modeling method and belongs to the technical field of ship engineering. BACKGROUND

[0002] TRIBON software is the most commonly used ship design software in various ship manufacturing enterprises in China, in the process of TRIBON software modeling, when pipes, cables or other equipment of pipe laying, electric laying and machine installation pass through the ship structure, holes need to be opened on the steel plate, and if necessary, a retainer ring needs to be added around the hole, at this time, the professional designers need to provide the information such as the position needing to be opened and whether the retainer ring needs to be added to the ship structure professional through an EXCEL table, then the ship structure professional designers operate in the TRIBON software according to the information provided in the table, first find the corresponding panel according to the position information, then open holes in the panel according to the opening position and size, and finally add the retainer ring to complete the modeling of the opening and the retainer ring.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of the opening rate of various ship design units, the number of openings is greatly improved, and the original method is time-consuming and laborious due to the large number of openings, and is prone to errors. SUMMARY

[0004] The application provides a method for opening holes and adding retainer rings, which integrates the steps of opening holes and adding retainer rings into the software program by programming a computer program, and automatically operates the TRIBON software to open holes and add retainer rings in the WINDOWS window, so that the modeling efficiency is improved, the modeling errors are reduced, and the method has good promotion and inheritance, and can bring greater comprehensive benefits to the shipyard.

[0005] Technical scheme: A rapid automatic opening method based on Tribon ship design software, the Tribon ship design software is Tribon M3, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: writing a temporary SCHEME statement of the opening according to the opening position and the opening surface of each hole of the ship, and writing a SCHEME statement of the retainer ring at the same time if the opening has a retainer ring.

[0007] Step 2: judging the panel where the opening is located according to the opening position and the opening surface of each hole.

[0008] Step 3: correcting the SCHEME statements of the opening and the retainer ring according to the symmetry of the panel.

[0009] According to the symmetry of the grillage, the grillage can be divided into four types, which are: 1 only port side, 2 only starboard side, 3 across the middle, 4 left-right symmetry. For the first three cases, SCHEME does not need to be modified, but for the left-right symmetric type of grillage, if the hole is opened on the left side, "P" needs to be added in the SCHEME statement, if the hole is opened on the right side, "S" needs to be added in the SCHEME statement, and the negative value of Y value or U or V value corresponding to the longitudinal section in the SCHEME statement is changed to positive value.

[0010] Step 4, list all the grillage names of the grillage that needs to be opened, and combine and summarize the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers of the same grillage.

[0011] Step 5, call out all the grillages that need to be opened one by one, and add the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers that each grillage needs to add to the SCHEME statements of each grillage in the TRIBON software. Import the written SCHEME statements into the TRIBON software, and after running the SCHEME statements in the TRIBON software, the hole and retainer model is automatically built.

[0012] A computer program implementation method of a fast automatic hole opening based on TRIBON ship design software, which realizes a fast automatic hole opening method through program interface and user interaction, comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 1, make an original table of the positions, sizes, shapes, whether to increase the retainer and the retainer specification of the ship that needs to be opened, and copy the contents of the original table to the table in the program interface. Make a table of the hole opening information for automatic running and processing of the program later. The fields of the original table include section number, system pipeline number, pipe diameter, hole diameter, X axis, Y axis, Z axis, etc.

[0014] Step 2, click the "Select / Switch Project" button in the program interface to select the TRIBON project that needs to be opened.

[0015] Step 3, fill in the Z-axis height setting in the program interface.

[0016] Step 4, select the corresponding hole color in the hole color selection box in the program interface according to the habits of each shipyard, or the default hole color is blue BLUE if not selected.

[0017] Step 5, set the color of the text of the opening surface in the table of the program interface to a color different from the default color of the table font, for example, red. (The opening surface is divided into three types, namely, X-axis cross section, Y-axis longitudinal section, and Z-axis horizontal section. Set the color of the text of the opening surface field (X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis) in the table of the program interface to red. Identify the opening surface by recognizing the color of the text, and then determine the surface on which the hole is opened. Display the opening surface through the program interface. Change the color of the text to red by selecting the cell whose color needs to be changed and then clicking the right mouse button. If the cell is selected incorrectly, the color of the cell that does not need to be changed will be changed, and the color of the selected cell can also be changed back to black by clicking the left mouse button to prevent misoperation and subsequent operation.) The values of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in the table represent the position at which the center line of the pipe intersects the flat panel. Only the position coordinates of a point are provided, and the position of the hole on the surface cannot be determined by the coordinates of the point. Therefore, the program must be informed of the surface on which the hole is located to determine the panel on which the hole is opened. Therefore, other professionals (such as pipe laying and electrical laying professionals) provide the position of the hole while coloring the corresponding cells of the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis in the original table to indicate the opening surface. The color cannot be copied from the original table to the table of the program interface. Here, the color of the cell whose text color needs to be changed in the table of the program interface is changed to red (the color can be changed according to the actual situation) to correspond to the original table. The table of the program interface includes the following fields: segment number, system pipeline number, pipe diameter, opening diameter, X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, note 1, note 2, opening surface, opening SCH statement, panel, P / C / S, and retainer SCH statement. Note 1 indicates whether there is a retainer, and note 2 indicates the specification of the retainer (if there is a retainer).

[0018] Step 6, click the check opening surface button on the program interface. The program will determine the opening surface according to the color of the text of the opening surface (the color of the text of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis fields) and fill the result into the opening surface field of the table. This step provides a basis for generating the SCH statement in the subsequent steps. If this step is not performed during the operation, the subsequent steps cannot be performed, and the operator is prompted to perform this step.

[0019] Step 7, click the generate opening SCH button on the program interface. This step will automatically generate a temporary SCHEME statement in the table of the program interface. The program will automatically convert the opening information in the table into a SCHEME statement according to the rules of the SCHEME statement of the TRIBON software.

[0020] Step 8, click the find opening panel button on the program interface. This step will automatically fill the panel name of the opening in the table of the program interface.

[0021] Program background, according to the XYZ coordinate and the opening surface of each hole, compare each plate frame one by one, determine whether the hole is on the current plate frame, if yes, fill in the current plate frame name, if not, find the next one. If not found, it means that the opening position is provided incorrectly.

[0022] Step 9, click the correction SCH statement button on the program interface (because the plate frame of different symmetry defines the opening of the left and right sides differently, the program will correct the temporary SCHEME statement generated in step 7 according to the symmetry of the plate frame and the positive and negative relationship of the opening position, Form the correct SCHEME statement, for the left-right symmetric type plate frame, if the hole is on the left side, you need to add "P" in the SCHEME statement, if the hole is opened on the right side, add "S" in the SCHEME statement, and change the negative value of Y value or U or V value corresponding to the longitudinal section in the SCHEME statement to positive value.

[0023] Step 10, click the one-key opening button on the program interface, the program will automatically open the TRIBON program, and arrange all the opening plates according to the plate name array order, and add all the opening and guard ring statements on the plate to the TRIBON program one by one, until the program jumps out of the completion prompt window to indicate that the process is completed.

[0024] A computer device comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the above-mentioned computer program to realize the fast automatic opening method based on Tribon ship design software.

[0025] A computer readable storage medium storing a computer program for executing the fast automatic opening method based on Tribon ship design software.

[0026] Advantages: Compared with the prior art, the fast automatic opening method based on Tribon ship design software has the following advantages:

[0027] 1) The opening method can greatly improve the opening efficiency. Taking the 63K PLUS ship type of the factory as an example, the number of openings of other professionals is about 2000, and there are more than 1100 openings in the engine room part. If the structure production designer opens the hole on TRIBON, about 1 hole per minute, only the engine room part has more than 1,000 openings, which requires more than 10 working hours. Some holes need to increase the guard ring, and the time required to increase 1 guard ring is longer than the time required for opening. The entire engine room section requires at least 20 working hours to complete, but using the software prepared by the method, it can be completed in half an hour.

[0028] 2) By the method of the present application, the data input error in artificial modeling is greatly reduced;

[0029] 3) By the method of the present application, some error information provided in the original table can be found in time, and can be fed back to the personnel providing the original table for timely correction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0037] The present application will be further illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments, which should be understood as merely illustrating the present application and not limiting the scope of the present application. After reading the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present application, and all such modifications fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0038] A rapid automatic opening method based on Tribon M3 ship design software, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step one, write a temporary SCHEME statement for opening according to the opening position and opening surface of each hole of the ship, and write a SCHEME statement for the guard ring at the same time if the opening has a guard ring.

[0040] Step two, determine the panel frame where the opening is located according to the opening position and opening surface of each hole.

[0041] Step three, according to the symmetry of the panel, the SCHEME statement of the opening and the retainer is corrected.

[0042] According to the symmetry of the panel, the panel can be divided into four types, which are: 1 only port, 2 only starboard, 3 across the middle, 4 left-right symmetry. For the first three cases, the SCHEME does not need to be corrected, but for the left-right symmetric type of panel, if the hole is in the port, "P" needs to be added in the SCHEME statement, if the hole is in the starboard, "S" needs to be added in the SCHEME statement, and the negative value of Y value or U or V value corresponding to the longitudinal section in the SCHEME statement is changed to positive value.

[0043] Step four, list all the panel names of the panel that needs to be opened, and merge and summarize the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers of the same panel. For example: according to step two, it is judged that the holes in the first, third and fourth rows of the opening table are opened on panel A, and the holes in the second and fifth rows are opened on panel B. At this time, the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers in the first, third and fourth rows are merged and summarized in panel A through ";" and line break, and the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers in the second and fifth rows are merged and summarized in panel B through ";" and line break. This step is processed by the program background, and all the panels and the SCHEME statements of the panels that are merged are one-to-one corresponding through array form.

[0044] Step five, call out all the panels that need to be opened one by one, and add the SCHEME statements of the holes and retainers that each panel needs to add to the SCHEME statements of each panel in TRIBON software. Import the written SCHEME statements into TRIBON software, and after running the SCHEME statements in TRIBON software, the hole and retainer model is automatically built.

[0045] The computer program implementation method of the fast automatic opening based on TRIBON M3 ship design software realizes the fast automatic opening method through the program interface and user interaction as shown in the program interface and user interaction. Figure 1

[0046] Open the program interface, the program interface window is shown in Figure 1 Because the program window interface is large, the program interface will be divided into two parts in the following description, the left is the user input interface, and the right is the automatic output part of the program after processing. In order to realize the fast automatic opening method based on TRIBON M3 ship design software, based on the program interface, the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0047] ​Step 1, copy the original table to the table of the program interface. The fields of the original table include: segment number, system pipeline number, pipe diameter, opening diameter, X axis, Y axis, Z axis, note 1, note 2; the fields of the table of the program interface include: segment number, system pipeline number, pipe diameter, opening diameter, X axis, Y axis, Z axis, note 1, note 2, opening surface, opening SCH statement, located panel, P / C / S, retainer SCH statement, etc.

[0048] Step 2, click the select / switch project button in the program interface to select the TRIBON project that needs to be opened, and after this step is completed, the currently selected project and sub-project will be displayed below the button, and the corresponding ship type and ship number will also be displayed.

[0049] Step 3, fill in the relative height and its corresponding value in the Z-axis height setting of the program interface.

[0050] Step 4, select the opening color according to the shipyard convention in the program interface, and the default color blue is selected in this embodiment.

[0051] Step 5, set the text color of the opening surface (corresponding to the text color of the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis fields) in the table of the program interface to red, and after this step is completed, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Because the drawing is black and white, the field color is described as shown in Figure 2 , the text content of the Z axis in rows 1-7 is set to red, indicating that the Z axis horizontal plane is the opening surface, the text content of row 8 is set to red, indicating that the opening surface is the Y axis longitudinal section, and the text content of the Y axis in rows 9-13 is set to red, indicating that the opening surface is the X axis transverse section. By selecting the cell that needs to change the color and clicking the right mouse button, the text color can be changed to red. If the cell is selected incorrectly, the cells that do not need to be changed will be colored, and the color of the selected cell can also be changed back to black by clicking the left mouse button to prevent misoperation and prevent the next step from being performed). The values of the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis in the table represent the position of the center line of the pipe intersecting the flat panel, and only a point coordinate is provided. The position of this hole cannot be determined by the coordinate position of this point, so the program must be informed that the circle or other shape of the hole is opened on which surface to determine which panel the hole is opened on. Therefore, other professionals (such as pipe laying and electrical laying professionals) provide the position of the hole while coloring the corresponding cells of the X axis, Y axis, or Z axis in the source table with different colors (field content font color) to express the opening surface. The color cannot be copied from the source table to the program interface table, and here the cells in the table of the program interface that need to change the text color are changed to red to correspond to the source table.

[0052] Step 6, click the check opening face, the program will determine the opening face in the X axis, Y axis or Z axis according to the position of the red font in the table, if in the X axis, the value of the opening face is 1, if in the Y axis, the value is 2, if in the Z axis, the value is 3, if empty, indicating double hole or multiple hole, then no need to open hole, see Figure 4 .

[0053] Step 7, click the generate opening SCH button in the program interface. According to the table content of the program interface, the temporary SCHEME statement will be automatically generated in the table. At this time, the SCHEME statement is not the final required statement, see Figure 5 . The program automatically converts the opening information in the table into SCHEME statement according to the rules of TRIBON software SCHEME statement. For example, according to the opening information provided in the first row, the content of the opening SCH statement column in the first row is displayed as:

[0054] "HOL, D120, X = 16550, Y = 9805, COL = BLUE, COM = '(1) PA102-ROW1-9_8';",

[0055] At the same time, the content of the retainer SCH statement column is displayed as:

[0056] "STI, PRO = 10, 100, 8, QUA = A, AS3 = 'R', AS4 = 'S', SID = TOP, CUR, M1 = 10, U1 = 16550, V1 = 9875, T1 = 0, CON = 15, CUT = 1100, BEV = -233 / V2 = 9876, CON = 15, CUT = 1100, BEV = -233, COL = BLUE;", but the SCHEME statement at this time is not the final required statement.

[0057] Step 8, click the find opening panel button in the program interface. This step will automatically fill in the panel name where the opening is located in the table, and fill in the information in the P / C / S column of the table, where "+" means no correction, "P" or "S" means correction, see Figure 6 . The panel name of the first row is displayed as "212P-DK1A", and the P / C / S column displays "+".

[0058] Step 9, click the correct SCH statement button in the program interface. Because different symmetrical panels have different definitions of left and right side openings, the program will correct the temporary SCHEME statement generated in step 7 according to the symmetry of the panel and the positive and negative relationship of the opening position, form the correct SCHEME statement, and change "P" or "S" in the P / C / S column to "+" to indicate that it has been corrected, see Figure 7 .

[0059] Step 10, click a one-key opening button in the program interface, at this time the program will automatically open the TRIBON program, and arrange all the opening panels in order, and add all the opening and guard circle statements on the panels into the TRIBON program one by one, until the program jumps out of a completion prompt window to indicate that the process is completely finished.

[0060] Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that the steps of the above-mentioned quick automatic opening method of the embodiment of the present application based on the Tribon ship design software can be realized by general computing devices, which can be concentrated on a single computing device or distributed on a network composed of multiple computing devices, and optionally, they can be realized by program codes executable by the computing devices, so that they can be stored in storage devices and executed by the computing devices, and in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in different order, or they can be made into individual integrated circuit modules, or multiple modules or steps among them can be made into a single integrated circuit module to realize. Thus, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
