Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for viewing assembly information based on a 3D model. Background Technology
[0002] In ship design, the data linking between 2D engineering drawings and 3D models is crucial. If the 3D hull model cannot directly access information from the 2D production drawings, then any design modifications require manual updates to the 2D drawings. This leads to repetitive work, is prone to human error, and increases costs in both the design and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the lack of a direct data link may prevent timely access to the latest design information during production, impacting efficiency. In terms of quality control, the absence of a direct data link can result in inconsistencies between 2D drawings and 3D models, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of quality inspection.
[0003] Therefore, a method for viewing assembly information based on a 3D model is provided. Summary of the Invention
