T 23 Kick-off, attendance list, and introductions (Wood)

Ron Wood kicked off the meeting since Jim Mays had travel problems. Tony Fry attended the WG 3 Opening Plenary, Annex C contains that report.  Annex A contains acronyms used in the T 23 minutes and annexes. 

Agenda Review (All)

The first item was to review and update the agenda presented in Annex B.

Project status (All)

Project status reports were provided.

Harvest (Gischner)

Will conclude May 2003, goals final approval of AP215, 6 and 8.  AP216 the first Ship AP to reach IS and is in Geneva.  We are waiting for approval by ISO for national standards bodies to distribute it.  AP218 unanimously passed its IS ballot.  Should be ready for convener review by April 2003.  AP215 unanimously passed its IS ballot.  Document should be ready for convener by April 2003.  See Annex M.

E-STEP (Wood)

See presentation Annex F.  Doing translators for APO 218 structures and AP 227 piping.  Also doing coordination with the ISO TC184/SC4/WG3/T23 group.  Doing 215/216/218 AIM translations for:

 

  • CATIA
  • FORAN
  • Tribon
  • SafeHull (ABS)
  • ISDP/Intelliship

 

AP 227 piping data exchange is being supported by

  • Tribon
  • CATIA
  • Simsmart

 

E-STEP has produced a set of test data for the Torpedo Weapons Retriever (TWR).

A significant demonstration will be performed next month involving all systems and translators.  The demonstration will be presented at:

World Ship Maritime Conference in San Francisco Oct 17th-20th 2003

 

Working on a proposal to do AP 227 HVAC, Electrical, AP 215 Arrangements, and AP209 Composite and metallic structural analysis and related design. 

Integrated Steel Processing Environment - ISPE (Wood)

See Presentation Annex D.  The project will develop a pilot to enable exchange of steel fabrication work.  It Builds on Integrated Shipbuilding Environment (ISE) and adds Mfg Rule base, CAM Interfaces.  Technical lead of the project is NGIT, although Northrop Grumman Ship Systems is the project manager.  Atlantec and STEP Tools will do STEP related work.  Phase 0 is requirements development.

Status of AP227 (Gischner)

See presentation in Annex L.  AP227, plant special configuration.  AP updated to provide functionality of piping, HVAC, cable trays, and now mechanical systems. 

K – STEP (defer)

See Thursday minutes for presentation.

EMSA

Concentrating on AP227. There has been some discussion about updating the EMSA ARM based translators (EMSA Protocols), but this needs to be done against the latest version of the ARM models.  The current BBs logged into the server are only the DIS versions.   Currently there is no funding to update the BBs to IS.  Pete Lazo estimates that it would take 2 weeks to do so, however most of the change are editorial and not to the model.  EMSA has 4 new academic members from the former Soviet Union, and is planning a workshop to Russian industry in St Petersburg on STEP technology.  Anyone who wishes to present at this workshop should get in touch with John Kendall. 

 JMSA

No report at this meeting.

Action list Review (All)

Action items were reviewed and updated. See Annex E for the updated action list and new actions from the  San Diego meeting.

WG 3 Plenary Report (Fry)

Project Briefings -

  • AP203 Ed 2 - No report
  • AP214 - Technical corrigendum to be produced.  Some html work described and samples shown will be available on the shared drive, maybe transferred to WG3 area.

 

Module/Modular AP Status - Meeting on process and guidelines held Sat 08/03/2003 the results of which were presented at the Opening Plenary.  Test case and examples aspects need to be raised with Mark Palmer (Test cases are Annex G of the module)

 

Advance SC4 Resolutions - Non of special interest to WG3

 

Items for PPC + Conveners meeting - As reported at the Opening Plenary effective Sept this year deadlines for production of AP changes to 5 years (was 7) and Stage to Stage reduced to 2 years (was 3).

 

Reference Dictionaries - Problem: any engineering properties measured by any engineering device is vast and needs to be controlled within a standard.  Suggest this is achieved by reference dictionaries and based on Mil handbook 5.  Concern that these dictionaries are not held in a structure and produced on a ad hoc basis with no relationship to one another.  Needs a full meeting (joint WG2/WG3) on this in Stuttgart.

A problem of maintaining these dictionaries has be identified, hence sustainability and funding need to be considered.

 

Rule Writing - Recommendations for writing EXPRESS rules were presentated by Jochen Haenisch.  Style produce based on QUERY statement to reduce the amount of memory.  Proposed a better rule writing style using a ”function”.  Recommendations:

  • Consider performance when writing rules
  • Avoid QUERY statements it is not efficient
  • Use REPEAT gives you control over processing
  • Use SKIP and ESCAPE to reduce the number of loops
  • (Some other minor things)

 Jochen Haenisch to write up a White Paper on this and issue within one month to be discussed further in Stuttgart.

Procedures - All teams to write minutes within sated timescales.  Requirements for off site meetings are to be brought to closing plenary. Abstracts needed for TS, FDIS and IS.  Communications should use the exploders. 

Other Issues - Raised issue re liaison with SC10 on CAD definition.

 

Team Leaders - EXPRESS Server needs copy of EXPRESS for each of the WG3 APs: 

  • Schemas needed:
    • ARM EXPRESS in available
    • AIM EXPRESS short form
    • AIM EXPRESS long form

 

  • Use official versions from SC4ONLINE

 

  • Versions Needed: 
    • Latest ballot
    • Latest corrected
    • IS
    • Others – to be identified by project leader/team leader 

 

Review of the STEP Products spreadsheet

The spreadsheet containing the list of Ship STEP products was reviewed.  See Annex J for the current list posted on the T23 web page.  Participants should review this and send any updates to Jim Mays.

AP227/ISE Piping test case summary (Wood, Gischner, Radack)

Liaison WG2: Rob Schuler; PPC Burt; See annex H.

 TUESDAY

TWR database

Rob Schuler discussed the TWR database.  NSWC is collecting any examples of product model data for this ship for use in demonstrations.  Technical manual is available.  Tony Fry will investigate digitizing the documentation to also make it available on line.  See annex I.

AP227 report

Burt Gischner provided summary of the advanced ballot comment workshop, the final ballot comment workshop planning.

Tim Turner discussed the mechanical systems comments against AP 227. 29 new entities, 3 new types and 5 modifications to existing entities.  Of the 29 new entities 5 are key, 2 are utility, and 22 are mirrored logical entities similar to piping.

AP 218/215 DIS Ballot Workshop summary

 Burt Gischner gave a summary of the meeting.  He described guidelines for the editorial changes and AP 216 conformity. No ‘no’ votes were recorded so an FDIS is not required for AP 218 or AP 215.  See Annex P.

Standard Enhancement/Discrepancy System (SEDS) Process

Jim Mays discussed the SEDS form in Annex K.  The led to a discussion on a PDES, Inc.  project for ships focused on a Plugfest. Jim Mays will get information from PDES, Inc on guidelines, lessons learned, costs, etc so we can discuss planning a T 23 Plugfest in collaboration with PDES, Inc and/or NSRP.  Jim Mays presented the form for submitting SEDS on AP 216 and the other T 23 APs as the are tested and used.  See Annex K.

 WEDNESDAY

Plenary (All)

Liaisons

 THURSDAY

Liaison Reports

T 23 (Ship) and T 24 (Manufacturing) Joint Meeting

Much of the discussion was on harmonization with ISO 14649.  The representatives from the ISO 14649 were in favor of implementable ARM.  The 10303 community argued the benefits of using an AIM implementation. The most STEP NC AP 240 effort has been made in milling (and this seemed to be the example used in the harmonization discussions).  Turning will be addressed later.  The Integrated Steel Production Environment (ISPE) was briefed.  The thrust is to develop commercial tools that will take AP 218 data and manufacture steel structural parts.  This means NC plate cutting information will also be available for consideration in AP 240.  Electro-Discharge Machining (EDM) was also mentioned.   NC pipe bending is important for the shipyards.  It has unique characteristics like wall thinning, spring back (function of material type, thickness, induced stress that would be accounted for in the NC model) and a defined working envelope to avoid collision with other equipment. CSG may be required in AP 240. We will propose a pipe bending briefing with manufacturing in Stuttgart.  There are strong similarities between pipe bending and sheet metal bending.

AP 233 Systems Engineering

The following are within the scope of the system engineering application protocol:

a) products with conformity to the concept of a system;

b) system definition data and configuration control data pertaining to the design and the validation phases a system’s development;

c) requirements and requirement analysis data;

d) functional and functional analysis data including functional behaviour specifications.

e) physical architecture and synthesis data priving a high level view on the system under specification;

f) elements for representing the tracing of requirements and allocation of functions.

AP 233 is in the process of dividing the AP requirements into modules.  Modules under discussion are:

  • Requirements
  • Structural models
  • Behavior models
  • Validation and verification model
  • Allocation model
  • Risk analysis
  • Cost models

 

Other non-AP233 modules that can be used for Systems Engineering are:

  • Data representation
  • Scheduling
  • Work Breakdown Structure
  • PDM
  • Configuration management
  • Change management
  • Security

 

The AP 233 team is still discussing definitions, clause 3 information.

 

T23 will start in updated project plan identifying Systems Engineering AP 233 and Product Lifecycle Support AP 239 as  APs that will support important ship industry data exchange needs.

International STEP Center meeting

John Kendall attended. ???????????????
