Ship Common Information Model (SCIM) Integrated Logistics Environment Project (ILE) NSRP Information Technologies Panel Learn more about NSRP
Purpose of this presentation: What an IPDE is and why the sharing of data is important An overview of the SCIM and how it can be used within an IPDE The ability of the SCIM to allow the sharing of data between organizations Factors affecting the implementation of the SCIM
The SCIM is the… Ship Common Information Model …it provides theability toshare data for U.S. Navy ship design, analysis, construction, and post-delivery support
Expansion of CAD/CAE/CAM Systems in U.S. CAD/CAE/CAM Systems CAD/CAE/CAM Systems CAD/CAE/CAM Systems CAD/CAE/CAM Systems
Integrated Product Data Environment (IPDE) Product Data Management (PDM) Computer-aided Design (CAD) Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Computer-aided Engineering (CAE)
Length of time to design and build a ship often exceeds the life span of current computer systems… Concept Preliminary Detail Construction/Test • This may require the ship design and construction product model data to be moved to a later generation IPDE during the construction of the follow hulls in a Class

Collaboration is a trend that will continue U.S. NAVY “One Shipyard”
A Standard is required for this exchange of product data So, why not use the STEP ISO Standard directly ? • ISO 10303 is the international standard • Informally known as “STEP ”: • (STandard for The Exchange of Product Model Data)
The STEP Series of ISO Standards support many industries Aerospace Automotive Shipbuilding Plant Design
The STEP Standards require Translators STEP Standards Translator Translator Translator Translator Shipyard A Shipyard B Shipyard C Require Special TOOL KITS Are EXPENSIVE
The limited market of Shipbuilding has not encouraged commercial CAD vendors to develop ship-specific translators Here are your STEP-Translators What about us? Aerospace Automotive Shipbuilding Plant Design
The SCIM provides a blueprint for shipyard IT personnel to develop translators SCIM • ShipyardIT Personnel
SCIM is Structured to use existing Commercial STEP Geometry Translators • ShipyardIT Personnel • CAD Vendors SCIM XML Version Commercial STEP Geometry Translators • Shipyard-developed Translators
The SCIM satisfies the STEP Requirements • The SCIM is based on shipbuilding portions of the Step Standards • The SCIM defines the requirements and XML data model for Ship data exchange • This XML Data defines the minimum set of entities & attributes that must be available for applications supported by an IPDE… • …and for sharing with business partners and the Navy SCIM
The Product Model Data needs to be captured throughout the Life Cycle Milestone Reviews Concept Preliminary Detail Construction/Test In Service Support Decommission S C I M Archive External Systems Collaborating Shipyards And the Navy
No need to rely exclusively on CAD Vendors for all Data Translator Support • XML is standard method for accessing non-graphical data • SCIM Documented in XML • This allows for development of IPDE Data Translators In-House • ShipyardIT Personnel
The SCIM specification is… Of practical use for agreements between shipbuilder and CAD System vendors Usable by shipyard personnel, including non-IT specialists Capable of validation Suitable for contractual specification Fully documented and user-friendly
The SCIM Chapters support each shipbuilding functional area Product Data Management Piping Physical Design Piping Functional Design Ship Molded Form Heating, Ventilation, and AC Design Ship Arrangements Electrical Design and Installation Ship Structures Engineering Analysis Common Parts: Procurement Product Life Cycle Support
SCIM Chapters: Shipbuilding Functional Areas: • Each SCIM Chapter supports one of these functional areas • Each of these SCIM Chapters has a corresponding XML Schema
Importance of the Ship Common Information Model Allows shipyards to move data between different pieces of their Integrated Product Data Environments (IPDE) Allows shipyards to exchange data with each other and the Navy Necessary due to the Navy’s practice of requiring multiple-shipyard design and build contracts, and… … because of the short lifespan of computer systems and software compared to the life of a ship
Advantages to implementing SCIM at YOUR Shipyard Uses inexpensive or free XML tools rather than expensive STEP EXPRESS language toolkits Uses existing XML application programming interfaces to shipyard PDM and CAD tools Minimal introductory training needed for shipyard IT personnel to quickly implement XML-based translators
