3D virtual simulation of ships for the Russian Navy - are we on the crest of IT?

I first read the “stunning” news here: At Sevmash, for the first time I created a 3D model of a submarine under construction

Immediately somewhat embarrassed photo (as below), therefore, I decided to get to the source.
Low-cost searches on the RuNet led to the original source from the Sevmash Press Office
Modern technology in the construction of submarines .

Another small effort for the keyboard and ISP and found a release:


№1 from 2016 Journal of JSC "PO" SEVMASH " On the crest of IT №1 / (see page 32)
')
I read under different tilts of the monitor (it is turning) and ... And I did not understand anything. Not in the sense of an idea, but in the sense of:

- Where is the crest of the IT wave?
- Where are the "modern technologies" in the construction of submarines?
- Where is the 3D model of the submarine under construction? Oh. I remove the question.
I am already big (or rather old) and I understand everything:

The state secret in the Russian legislation is: information protected by the state in the field of its military, foreign policy, economic, intelligence, counterintelligence, operational-search activity, the spread of which may damage the state.

This submarine "Khabarovsk" terribly secret thing. On the nuclear submarine "Khabarovsk" .



Although the Swedes are more "democratic" in this regard:


Saab Kockums- A26 Stealth Modular Submarine

Okay. Forget about the "other Swedes."

Having once again examined the photo of E. Mansimov from the press service of JSC “PO“ Sevmash ”, I began to be tormented by“ vague doubts ”. Develop your thought.

1. What are these three young men doing on the photo?



- Laser scanner read the barcode "read"?



- Desktop model submarine? Which is made by hand?



Or is it the scientific companies advertised by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in action?

Something reminded me of it! For sure! It's so much like chicks. Petrov Skolkovsky and bravura reports of ridus ( Skolkovo students blew up a rocket in Moscow ).



Ersatz news:

Four students and graduates of the Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman constructed and launched a rocket in a warehouse in Yuzhnoportovaya Street in the south-east of Moscow. The tests were unsuccessful: the rocket exploded, its shrapnel tore off a hand to a nearby 54-year-old man.

What are these three young men doing on the photo? Pencil why? What they saw there?

Read more to read " Three intrigues for two startups or how to properly blow up your rocket engine ".

Sorry, distracted. I make a return maneuver on a given trajectory.

Maybe I'm behind the times, but this (laser scanning of a model / object) is not done this way. And this is understandable by the tremor of the hands (I do not hint at some events of the evening abuse of strong drinks - this is a property of any living organism), breathing, table vibration, ascending streams of warm air, etc.

Laser digitization of 3D objects looks like this:



Or so:



2. Where is everything gone?

Everything is what used to be and is used until now. I thickly hint at "for the first time" and "innovation"!

Excursion 14 years ago
On April 26, 2002, St. Petersburg State Maritime Technological University (also called “Shipbelka”) opened a competence center for IBM and Dassault Systèmes. Its name is CATIA Shipbuilding Center.

The center is focused not only on engineering design, but also on integrated product lifecycle support (PLM).

CATIA was represented at the conference (by opening) by the Deputy Chief Designer for CAD, GUP Zvezdochka.

Reference:
From 1995-1996, the CATIA system (Dassault Systèmes / IBM) of a complete integrated solution, including the design of shipbuilding and industrial technological facilities (AEC Plant & Ship), precise geometric modeling of engineering products and assemblies (Mechanical CATIA), project development management (ENOVIA PDM / VPM) and full working integration of the listed components function successfully:

*in Europe

CMN Cherbourg Shipyard in France (high-speed warships, passenger ferries and pleasure yachts);
Meyer Werft in Germany (first class passenger liners, various types of ferries, gas carriers);
Delta Marin in Finland (interior design of ships, propulsion systems);
ROYAL DUTCH NAVY in the Netherlands;
UK Ministry of Defense (GRC, SEA) in England and several other European companies (Farnest, Thomson CSF, Fincantieri, etc.).

*in America

General Dynamics Bath Iron Works (warships, destroyers);
General Dynamics Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding (Virginia-class nuclear submarines);
Lockheed Martin GES;
Litton-Ingalls Shipbuilding;
Naval Sea System Command;
NAVSEA, Avondale, George Sharpe and others.

*in Asia

Vienkong shipyard in China (tankers and bulk carriers);
Australian Defense Industry, Royal Australian Navy, Tenix in Australia;
Samsung Heavy Industries, SDARI, NKK, etc.

In 2002 Asterisk chose SmarTeam from Dassault Systemes and IBM.




Practically all significant Russian enterprises and research institutes related to shipbuilding are now part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation - the largest shipbuilding holding in Russia and Eastern Europe . ”Zvezdochka itself experimented with CATIA 5 on the Intel platform in the 2000s.

There is, until 2016 there was exactly an automated system for design and technological preparation of production (ASC / CCI) “Credo” developed by JSC “SIC ASC”:

The credo includes a module that provides a direct interface with the Diana finite element analysis system developed by ANTK engineers. A. N. Tupolev.

The system “Diana” allows solving a wide class of engineering tasks:

- analyze the stress-strain state of structures;
- determine the shape and frequency of natural oscillations;
- calculate the dynamic response time;
- determine the critical forces and forms of buckling;
- analyze stationary and non-stationary temperature fields;
- calculate aeroelasticity;
- solve non-linear problems;
- simulate the mechanics of destruction;
- optimize the design.



With her help, a finite element model of the overlap of the Grand Sports Arena in Luzhniki was made.

Long and fruitfully work:

- Specialized CAD tools for shipbuilding by CSoft Bureau ESG based on Autodesk ShipModel products


- Automated editor of sheet cutting UPNEST



- Editor cutting heat control programs UPEDITOR





There was also bCAD "Integrated package for two-dimensional drawing, volume modeling and realistic visualization" for a wide range of users - engineers, architects and designers (developed since 1992).

I apologize for the somewhat poisonous tone of the “sofa general” in this article, but I hope the reader will understand me.

New weapons, the military-industrial complex (or, as they call the defense industry) are always interested in me. Navy, aviation, astronautics, rocket science, especially since in his youth he was associated with these areas, and it’s just interesting and relevant.

Know how constantly flow from the citizen to the military or moving in the opposite direction.
Therefore, I am sometimes confused by the discord between bravura releases, as an example:

Portable radar reconnaissance of the firing positions of the Aistonok mortars and the reality:



Although PRSPM still works, quite fruitful. But the execution ...

IT? Well, as without knowing it now? A young man (grade 6) recently came to me: “Dad, let's discuss Xamarin and VSTS and HockeyApp ...”. From the chair, I certainly did not fall. That would not be dishonored, brought an anecdote (but vice versa):

- Dad, why, when you bite an apple, it becomes brown?
- The fact is, son, that there are various chemicals in the apple. One of them is iron. So, when iron enters into a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, oxidation is obtained. The result is a substance that stains the apple brown.
“Dad, who did you talk to now?”

Bottom line: I spent the day thinking “with what they eat it.” Thanks Habr.

Distracted again. The essence of the article: ask the question "can anyone know?"

How are things really? Is there really something new invented? Or, again, à la “Rosnano” projects? Or is this the usual lack of preparation (a banal lack of basic knowledge) of a photographer, a press service, and other initiators?

Afterword (and how they have):

In 2014, I wrote the article “ BAE Systems launched 3D technology of virtual ship modeling for Royal Navy “.



There was nothing extra, except for minor clarifications. In its 3D modeling and design system, BAE Systems uses:

- BMT Defense Services Ltd practices


- Visual real-time applications of Vega Prime by Presagis and Presagis Creator 13 Desktop




- Software Siemens PLM Software PLM

- Siemens-Teamcenter



- And their own (or rather, together with the United States) developments.

Combat Systems Integration Laboratory (CSIL), Electronic Systems Integration Labs (ESILs), Systems Integration Laboratory (VSIL).



Everything is cool, understandable, cool and interesting. However, February 5, 2017 was amazed at the achieved "success" of the UK, BAE Systems, including, on the basis of the devastating article in The Sunday Times: "The perplexities in the Ministry of Defense over the years have stuffed the army of the United Kingdom with expensive and senseless techniques . " So there managers won engineers?

Especially impressed by the “rattling hatches on Typ 45, under which Royal Navi personnel are forced to put sticks and other household items.

Thank you all, those who mastered mastered completely - in particular. For errors and clarifications found I will be grateful.
