Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes providing a vessel definition, receiving a gauging report comprising a plurality of plate thicknesses of the vessel and sketches showing locations of the plurality of plate thicknesses, extracting plate thicknesses from the gauging report, connecting the sketches to one or more of the plate thicknesses, identifying locations in the vessel definition for one or more of the plate thicknesses, and correlating one or more of the plate thicknesses to a vessel model.
Claims20
A modeling method for a vessel, the method comprising:
- providing a vessel definition;
- receiving a gauging report comprising a plurality of plate thicknesses of the vessel and sketches showing locations of the plurality of plate thicknesses in a survey;
- extracting the plurality of plate thicknesses from the gauging report;
- connecting the sketches to one or more of the plate thicknesses;
- generating, using a digital twin and a three-dimensional model, a virtual vessel model using the plurality of plate thickness and the sketches;
- determining, using the virtual vessel model, a structure response for the vessel;
- and
- determining, using the virtual vessel model and the structural response, a task to apply a remedial operation.
A modeling method for a vessel, the method comprising:
- providing a vessel definition;
- receiving a gauging report comprising a plurality of plate thicknesses of the vessel and sketches showing locations of the plurality of plate thicknesses in a survey;
- extracting the plurality of plate thicknesses from the gauging report;
- connecting the sketches to one or more of the plate thicknesses;
- identifying the locations in the vessel definition for the one or more of the plate thicknesses;
- and
- correlating the one or more of the plate thicknesses to a vessel model.
A modeling method for a vessel, the method comprising:
- providing a vessel definition;
- receiving a gauging report comprising a plurality of plate thicknesses associated with several structural members in a survey;
- identifying locations in the vessel definition for one or more of the structural members;
- and
- correlating one or more of the plate thicknesses to a vessel model.
