Generated The. Tribon Data Extraction And Bom

TRIBON is a ship CAD/CAM software system widely used by main domestic shipyards as well as a lot of abroad shipyards. So it is a very significative thing to research and develop it. TRIBON is the center of design in shipyards since the modules of ships are built in TRIBON. Not only does it provide data for production but also it provides data for production management software and other CAM software. TRIBON exclaims three methods of data extraction: interactive inquiry, geometry macro language programming and C/PLllanguage prograrnmi ng. Interactive inquiry is the easiest method of TRIBON data extraction. In the inquiry environment, user can input the data extraction command by terminal or by exterior file and accordingly get the data on terminal or exterior file. Geometry macro language is a kind of language supported by TRIBON system. It is good at describing the ship modules. With it we can execute data extraction command and get the data from the result structure. The process of get the data from the result structure is different because the structure is different according to the data extraction command. So the program could not be used for all梡urpose. There are several functions could be called by C/PL1 language. With these functions through programming we can extract all kinds of TRIBON data. We can develop program with which users can extract all kinds of data without thinking of the difference of data extraction commands. Data files build the modules of TRIBON products are written in certain format. If we can give out the format definitely we can program to recognize the files and get data from them. The data extracted from TRIBON is stored in certain format in a certain directory of alpha workstation. Through the command of ftp we deliver it to microcomputers. I? The data extracted from TRJBON is not suit for direct use because the format of data is not satisfied requests and there are some information needed to add to the data by manual work. There are three kinds of database and through analysis we decide to use RDS (relation梔atabase system). The management of parts list by database has these problems to solve: the input of data to database, the edit of parts list and the output of parts list. After transferred to microcomputer through ftp command, the data in data file is read by VB program and add to database. According to the analysis, a software system TDEB is developed. The program gives interface for users to edit the parts list. The parts list edited will be output in the form of report in the format decided by the user. The format of report is designed in crystal report and stored in a file with expand name as 搑pt? In VB environment the rpt file is called and the report is put out in the style given by the rpt file.
