NPDI & SCIMNPDI & SCIM NPDI (Navy Product Data Initiative)

– To specify the requirements for and drive the implementation of product data systems based on an open architecture having suitable functionality and enterprise-wide interoperability to support affordable Navy ship design, construction and service life support

– Initial version of the IPDE Specification has been written and delivered to the Navy for review and comment

SCIM (Ship Common Information Model)– SCIM will codify the models developed and prototyped by the ISE Project

under NSRP over the past nine years

– It will be a separate document from the IPDE Specification being produced by the NPDI Project, but it will be referenced by that IPDE Specification

– Full version of the SCIM has not yet been completed• Six of fifteen proposed chapters have been developed

• One of the remaining chapters deals with Product Life Cycle Support and will be based on the results of the ISE-6 Project

Panel ProjectPanel Project

Purpose– To determine the feasibility of using existing AP214 translators

with NPDI SCIM data to improve the exchange of early and detail design data, and perform an initial validation of the SCIM.

Benefits– Develop an effective interim solution

• Develop recommendations for existing ship programs

• Demonstrate feasibility of using NPDI SCIM to exchange design data for DDG-1000 program and Navy LEAPS repository.

– Lay groundwork for adoption of SCIM• Initial validation of NPDI SCIM

• Generate SCIM test cases

10/23/2009 7SNAME 2009

Panel Project (Cont.)Panel Project (Cont.)

Scope– Develop linkage between AP 214 and SCIM file

– Ship and Molded Form test cases

– Structural test cases

– Piping test cases

Deliverables– Test Cases

– SPS paper – technical approach

– Final Report – includes SCIM recommendations

Technical ApproachTechnical Approach

All geometry is contained in AP 214 file– Externally referenced from SCIM file

– Modify SCIM schema to add external reference

All product structure is contained in SCIM file– Ignore AP 214 assembly structure

Create SCIM file based on information in CAD XML file, CAD database and/or PDM system

Summary of FindingsSummary of Findings

Demonstrated viability of approach– External reference mechanism will be incorporated into

SCIM

Enhanced SCIM – Identified need to document geometry model

• Project used AP 214 geometry

– Triggered generation of fully expanded XML schemas

– Identified need to better define mandatory attributes

Determined use of SCIM still requires access to ISO STEP documentation

Identified few minor discrepancies with ISO STEP models
