A compartment is a type of volume object representing a physical space, such as a cabin, a machinery room, or a ballast tank, in a marine model. Smart 3D places all compartments in the model using information defined in the compartmentation reference data. Using the reference data workbook, you can create custom compartments that fit your specific requirements. Your first step should be to review, edit, and otherwise customize the delivered compartmentation reference data. For more information about customizing the reference data that is delivered with the Compartmentation task, refer to Compartmentation Reference Data.

After the reference data is customized, go to the Systems and Specifications task and begin to define the systems that you want in your model. While you are not absolutely required to create your systems first, doing so keeps you from having to edit your volume objects after placement to assign them to the correct system.

With the systems defined, use the Grids task to define and place coordinate systems, elevation planes, and grid planes. Then, use the Molded Forms task to define the basic structure of the ship, including: the hull, decks, bulkheads, major openings, stiffeners, beams, design seams, and so forth.

After the compartmentation reference data and the needed systems, grids, planes, and ship structures are defined, you can begin creating compartments, ship zones, and other volume objects in your model.

When the volume objects are defined, you can create load objects, including spatial loads, unit loads, and load combinations.
