OpenHCM: from measurements to analysis
Purpose of OpenHCM
|
• Enables capturing all information required for determining and analysing the structural status of a vessel. • It includes constructs for geometry information of plates and profiles as well as higher level structures. • Independently can transport data collection from ThicknessMeasurementCampaigns the measurements and their later associations to plates and profiles of a full structural model as needed e.g. for strength analysis. • OpenHCM also provides support for the use of "incomplete models" as well as for the incremental definition/population of the model data. • Structural modification/replacements due to repairs can be captured thereby support modifications during the life-cycle of a vessel

History
|
• Started as a result of CAS project (research project funded under EU Framework 6) • Version 0.71 formed the base for an initial public version in 2009 • OpenHCM consortium founded in 2010 • Version 1.3.1 was later introduced in 2011 • Version 2.0 (current) was accepted in Sep. 2013 |
Key features
|
• Originally modelled along the basic definitions of ISO 10.303-218 (Ship Structures) • Described as a XML schema, defining an XML file type. • Implemented in some HCM systems, e.g. from Classification Societies such as BV, DNVGL, … |
