AVEVA Marine Administration
What is the database system used in AVEVA Marine?
AVEVA Marine uses Dabacon (Database Constructor) databases.
There are several different types of Dabacon databases used in a typical Marine project, such as Design, Drawing, Isodraft, Schematic, Engineering, Manufacturing, Catalogue, Properties, Dictionary and Analysis.
What is the Dabacon database concept?
User belongs to a team, which owns the database, i.e. user as a team member has read and write access to the database, other teams have only read access.
User can belong to a multiple number of teams, depending on the job tasks needed to be done.
What is the recommended admin element creation sequence in a Dabacon project?
1. Create Teams
2. Create Databases
3. Create Users and add them to Teams
4. Create MDB’s and add Databases to them
What is the difference between a module and an application in AVEVA Marine?
In AVEVA Marine a module contains a number of applications. It is possible to switch between the applications within a module.
As an example, the module Hull Design includes the following applications: Planar Modeling, Curved Modeling, Structural Design, Plate Nesting, Panel Line Control, Interactive Jig Pillars and Space Management.
Some applications have been made available as Add-ins, such as, Assembly Planning. It can be invoked and run from any of the design modules e.g. Hull Design.
AVEVA Marine Modeling
What is the panel concept in AVEVA Marine?
A panel is the core modeling unit in AVEVA Marine, and the corresponding scheme is its textual presentation. A scheme is divided into statements, which are based on the design modeling language.
A panel can be modified either by entering values via model forms or by directly editing the scheme statements in the Scheme Editor. Note that both techniques produce the same output.
How to model flanges along a hole?
The examples below show flanges modeled along a hole using cutting planes.
How to use topology points to form a curve?
The example below shows topology points used to form a curve, which in turn is used as part of the boundary.
How to use free boundary to create a bracket?
The examples below show brackets modeled using free boundary.
The shape of the free boundary depends on the combination of different set of radius, angle and length values.
