Introduction
 This Training Course is intended to give a comprehensive introduction
to the concept and use of Tribon to the trainees.
 The trainees are expected to actively participate in the training and
exercises, and their understanding of Tribon will be assessed by a test.

WHAT IS TRIBON….?
 Tribon: Industry standard software for CAD  CAE  CAM in
Shipbuilding.

 Developed by Tribon Solutions.

 Tribon-M3 is the last Tribon version.
 CSL has Tribon-M2 installed.
 In 2004 Tribon Solutions have been acquired by AVEVA Group.

Tribon Concept
 Tribon has been designed to provide a structured way to develop and
improve the information flow between the different tasks within the
shipbuilding process, where many design development tasks are
performed in parallel.

 The Tribon system is based on the use of a Product Information Model

(PIM) database.

 The information in the Product Information Model contains all the

technical data that is needed to define the final product  SHIP.

Information Model
 PIM  A comprehensive "Ship Database" containing all information
about a specific project.

Characteristics of PIM
 Multi User Concurrent Access to the Product Information Model.
 The data in the Product Information Model can be created and updated by
many designers and production engineers working both in parallel within
technical disciplines and across disciplines.
 Hull and outfitting designers, for example, can therefore work together in a
concurrent manner

 Database Capable of Handling a Complete Ship.

 much reduced volume of documentation,
 less duplication of work,
 fewer inconsistencies and errors,
 less revisions and changes

 Re-use and Refinement of Information in Later Design Stages.

 For example, pipe data, such as the diameter of a pipeline, defined during the
diagram stage is then available for refinement and modification at the
modelling stage.

Characteristics of PIM
 Integration of Hull and Outfitting.
 The close association between the Hull and Outfit data in allows the hull
structure and outfit designers to work in parallel sharing the most up-to-date
information during design development and producing well integrated final
arrangements.

 Component Catalogue.
 The Component Catalogue is continuously updated by a shipyard, and
component data can easily be shared between yards and design agents.

 Specific Rules for each type of Object.

 For example, the pipe modelling functions can check the practical capabilities
to bend a particular pipe in the shipyard pipe bending machines.

Characteristics of PIM
 Additional information can be readily derived, from the PIM.
 For example, if there is a rule that a stiffener is welded to an adjacent plate,
then the amount of weld can be calculated from that rule and the stiffener
model.

 Ease of Making Changes and Copying Design Arrangements.

of the PIM
 System
 E.g. a Sea Water ballast system and a Lub Oil system
 A system contains equipment that is inter-connected objects and
components, such as by pipes, cables or ventilation trunks, etc.

of the PIM
 Block
 Typically a major assembly of hull steel and outfit support structure and
which is typically then lifted into its final hull position in the building
dock

 Module
 It could be all outfit in a compartment or in a complex section or
region, for example, deck piping in a supporting frame work.
