Engineering Context for Shipbuilding & Offshore

In shipbuilding and offshore, very large 3D models, system hierarchy, spatial density, and repeated review grow at the same time.

Distributed design review only works when HQ, yard, and partners share the same current model and the same object identity.

Industry reality

Very large models and dense spaces are the default.

Smart3D-scale models, discipline and system hierarchy, dense overlaps of structure, piping, and supports, local/On-prem environments, and distributed design review are required together. Full republish alone cannot keep daily current-state sharing on pace.

Operational pain

Where shipbuilding and offshore review stalls today

  • Full extract and distribution of very large models lag, so HQ and yard review different revisions.
  • Inside system and assembly hierarchy, object identity and surrounding structure, piping, and supports are hard to read together.
  • When 1D lists, 2D drawings, and 3D models are not synchronized, multidisciplinary review breaks.
  • Cloud-first AI does not fit environments with local and On-prem constraints.

Context required

Why spatial context and distributed review matter

3D Tiles and Spatial Graph from S3DX, shared-identity review in L3D Vue, and PIDEX where process systems or P&IDs apply must work together. A local AI Agent should run on that context — not invent a separate reality.

Workflow

From large model to distributed review

Incremental spatial publishing and a shared-identity workspace keep yard and HQ on the same current context.

Use cases

Four recurring shipbuilding & offshore workflows

  1. A. Large-model spatial review

    Smart3D → S3DX → 3D Tiles + Spatial Graph → L3D Vue for current large-model spatial review.

    • Smart3D
    • S3DX
    • 3D Tiles + Spatial Graph
    • L3D Vue

  2. B. System / Assembly Context Review

    Read system hierarchy, object identity, and surrounding structure, piping, and supports to set review scope.

    • System hierarchy
    • Object identity
    • Surrounding structure / piping / support
    • Review

  3. C. 1D / 2D / 3D synchronized review

    Engineering Graph, P&ID or drawing, and 3D model stay synchronized in L3D Vue under shared identity.

    • Engineering Graph
    • P&ID / drawing
    • 3D model
    • L3D Vue

  4. D. Local AI Agent (future)

    nanochat as a future Alpha targets Engineering Context, GraphRAG, a local SLM, OID-backed responses, and viewer actions.

    • Engineering Context
    • GraphRAG
    • Local SLM
    • OID-backed response → viewer action

What this workflow actually uses

Primary focus is spatial publishing and the review workspace. Process, local agent, and deliverables join only where they apply.

Authority boundary

What AI does — and what engineers close

AI understands, analyzes, identifies candidates, and supports review. Final judgment and approval stay with authorized engineers.

We do not claim automated approval, yard disposition, or 100% savings or mapping. Focus stays on current-model review, spatial context, and evidence. The nanochat use case is future tense.
