AVEVA Room Design™

AVEVA Room Design extends the functions of AVEVA Outfitting for defining spaces or areas and for modelling elements such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, floors or furniture. It provides full information for cutting wall and ceiling panels, and produces Weight, Centre of Gravity and Bill of Material reports.

Room design follows a logical progression, using a comprehensive set of specific ship design elements (rooms, ceilings, stairwells, doors, furniture and so on.) Topological representation ensures that if, for example, a wall or deck is moved all affected rooms' properties automatically update.

Reference data may be imported from General Arrangements, surfaces and hull panels. The imported geometry can then be used for defining areas, walls and similar elements.

Wall details

• Walls and ceilings are split into panels, which are trimmed, taking into account the locations of doors and windows. After trimming, the supports, sills and profiles are defined.

Ceilings

• Ceilings are defined in two steps. First, the initial room or area design contains basic definitions of the ceiling grids, boundary and grid pattern. Then detailing is added, such as tiles, fittings (such as lights and Air Handling Units), supporting lattice and hangers.

Insulation

• The user can specify insulation type and thickness, and define an area on which to apply it.

Floor covering

• Multiple floor covering layers can be applied, all sharing the same room area and borders.
• The Bill of Materials is automatically compiled by layer, by room or in total.

Doors & Windows

• Door and windows are selected from a catalogue or templates and placed in the 3D model.
• Cut-outs are automatically defined in the elements they penetrate.

Furniture & Fittings

• These will generally be bought in and would be defined as catalogue components for placing in the model.
• Vendors’ model import via STEP AP203 is also possible using AVEVA Mechanical Equipment Interface.

Stairwells

• The Stairwell function defines the volume and design criteria within the accommodation structure.
• Stairs themselves are defined using AVEVA Outfitting.
