Swap Hulls on a Detailed Model Using Molded Forms Delay - Intergraph Smart 3D - Help - Hexagon

Use this workflow when a ship is far enough into the design cycle that changing the hull form causes recalculation of a large number of objects. This workflow uses settings on the Delay tab of the Imported Plate System Properties dialog, allowing changed objects to be better managed to prevent model errors and excessive recalculation time. The following types of recalculations are delayed:

• Hull splits

• Update of hull structure, such as hull profiles

• Update of internal structure dependent on the hull

• This workflow is best performed by an administrator with full permissions to the model.

• This workflow is best performed on a 64-bit Windows computer with at least 4 GB of RAM.

• If your model is very early in the design process, you may be able to use the basic hull swap procedure described in Swap hulls. If you are unsure of which procedure to use, follow the workflow below.

What do you want to do?

• Prepare the model

• Copy the model

• Start error logging

• Select delay and range settings and swap the hulls

• Check the To-Do List

• Check the seam pattern on the new hull

• Repair seams that did not split

• Remove delay and update To-Do List records for the hull

• Check hull records on the To-Do List

• Remove delay and update To-Do List records for internal structure

• Check internal structure records on the To-Do List

• Check internal structure in the model

• Update remaining To-Do List records

• Evaluate results

• Recover from a failed hull swap

• Stop error logging
