Supported Entities
Entities supported by the
OCX reader.
- Vessel
- Arrangements
- Compartments
- Physical spaces
- Panels
- Plates
- Pillars
- Stiffeners
- Brackets
- Hole profiles
- Seam profiles
- Reference planes
When
@CreationType =
TreeOfComponents, an
assembly tree is created and organized as follows:
- 1 assembly corresponding to a vessel
- 1 assembly per arrangement
- 1 component per compartment
- 1 component per physical space
- 1 component per vessel level plate
- 1 component per vessel level bracket
- 1 component per vessel level stiffener
- 1 component per vessel level pillar
- 1 assembly per panel
- 1 component for the geometry of the panel
- 1 component per panel level plate (if XXXX
option is enabled)
- 1 component per panel level bracket
- 1 component per panel level stiffener
- 1 component per panel level seam
- 1 component per panel level pillar
When @CreationType = Parts, a corresponding tree
is created but not assembly entities are created. Parts are created instead. The
components are also created.
When @CreationType = BOM Only, a corresponding
tree is created with parts as in the previous case, but no components are actually
created.
Panel geometries, plates, and brackets are mapped onto surfaces. Stiffeners and
pillars are mapped onto curves, but can be mapped onto surfaces if the option
XXXX is enabled and the corresponding info can be found in the
file. Seams are mapped into curves.
Appropriate material definitions are also created in the model. Supported material
info includes density, Poisson’s ratio, thermal expansion, ultimate stress, yield
stress, and Young's modulus provided as metadata of the material. Each material is
associated with a unique grade name. Objects reference material entities via
metadata. Thickness info is provided as metadata of plate parts.
Beam section definitions are also created in the model. Stiffeners using a beam
section reference definitions via metadata.
Import Options
The
OCX reader uses the
ocx_reader.ini file.
