Ship 3D Collaborate Design Integration System Research

With development of information technology, traditional serial design process has not need the requirements of ship design. At first the characteristics of modern ship design and need for parallel collaborative design are analyzed. By analyzing the characteristics of 3D CAD software (Solid Works) and PDM system (Wind chill), integrated model and key technologies of the system is discussed. On the basis system integration platform through the middleware interface (Workgroup Manager for Solid Works) are built. Then ship 3D design is brought into project management. Carry on ships 3D collaborate design through key technologies such as document management and workflow management. This idea can solve information isolation problem between CAD system and PDM system and avoid unnecessary repeat works, as the same time improve the efficiency of ship design.
