Interface Design and Systems Integration Projects
Bespoke interfaces, data translation, and systems integration can help companies leverage existing functionality across their network of software applications, partners, suppliers and customers. Interface design is one of Quintic's many strong suits. Below are some of the projects we have recently completed.
2D/3D Integration: 3D IGES Interface for Software in Support of Ship Classification
As a development partner of Lloyd's Register Group, Quintic has been working on a variety of projects relating to the shipbuilding industry (our 2D Design Systems page lists further projects completed for Lloyd's Register).
As specialists in the area of 2D/3D integration, Quintic was asked to develop software which could be integrated into Lloyd's proprietary systems in aid of ship classification, including its Special Service Craft (SSC) and Naval Ship Rules (NSR) software.
Quintic developed a specialised ship hull import interface, which allows users to import key data from a 3D IGES-based model of a ship's hull form into the SSC and NSR software.
The import process automatically calculates and imports numerous longitudinal and transverse sectional views of the ship to support the classification process.
This saves a vast amount of time in terms of data input, and drastically reduces the overall classification time, facilitating increased design synthesis, and therefore producing a better quality design.
Data Interface Management Engine for Ship Design Systems
The aim of this project, commissioned by Lloyd's Register, was to integrate use of Lloyd's Register's ship design verification software into some of the world's major ship design packages, leveraging the design verification features of the Lloyd's Register software early in the design process.
Quintic's experts developed a Data Interface Management Engine (DIME), a software program that uses the
third party data, presented in a common data format, and provides:
- data verification, allowing users to enter any required values which cannot be supplied by the originating ship design software
- a translation process, to translate the data into formats required by Lloyd's various ship design verification applications, including RulesCalc and Shipright SDA (Lloyd's Finite Element Analysis package)
- drivers for the target applications
- import data translation filters
