AVEVA Room Design 12.0

Detailed design and production information for
rooms and accommodation areas

AVEVA Room Design allows the efficient creation, refinement and modification of the accommodation and other areas of a ship, such as cabins, restaurants or galleys. It is a fully-featured tool for defining spaces or areas, and for modelling elements such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows, floors or furniture. Room Design provides full information for cutting wall and ceiling panels, and produces Weight, Centre of Gravity and Bill of Material reports.

Business Benefits

Reduced design time
Powerful, special-purpose design functions maximise productivity.
Reduced rework and better change control
A common model database allows better design communication and minimises errors.
Reduced production time
Highly accurate production output
maximises productivity and quality.
Reduced material costs
Accurate calculation of material quantities allows efficient procurement and minimises waste.

Key Features

A typical cabin built using reference data

AVEVA Room Design runs in the same environment as AVEVA Outfitting, with all its database and functional capabilities. The efficient design definition process follows a logical progression, using a comprehensive set of specific database objects (rooms, ceilings, stairwells, doors, furniture and so on.) Topological representations are used so, for example, if a wall location is changed, the affected rooms' properties can be updated to reflect this change.

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

Doors and Windows
Door and window definitions are selected from a catalogue or template using a browser, and placed in the database model. These definitions include the cut-outs to be applied to the elements they penetrate.

Wall details
Walls are split into panels in the same way as the ceilings. The panels are trimmed, taking into account the locations of the doors and windows. After trimming, the supports, sills and profiles are defined.

Furniture and Fittings
In general, these components will be bought in, and should therefore be defined as catalogue components and placed in the model.

Insulation
The user can select a type of insulation and define an area on which to apply it.

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

Floor covering
Room Design allows the user to define a floor area, to which multiple floor coverings can then be applied, all sharing the same area and borders. The appropriate Bill of Materials for each of the levels is also handled by the system.

Stairwells
The Stairwell function describes the volume and design criteria within the accommodation structure for staircases. Stairs themselves will then be defined within the AVEVA Outfitting application.
