Framework and data management of digital design system for nuclear power

摘要

Nuclear power design institutes such as SNERDI are shifting from conventional document-based and discipline-isolated design mode to data/model-based and full-discipline-collaborative digital design pattern. The digital design environment being developed in SNERDI is comprised of three design platforms and one data management system. The three platforms are the 3D plant layout platform, the 2D system design platform, and the calculation and analysis platform, whose main features are delineated. The data management system (DMS), as the kernel of the digital design environment, takes the role of collection, storage, configuration, control, display, and application of project data. The DMS combines the three design platforms, and makes design works data-driven and collaborative. The DMS is developed from scratch, whose data scope and functional requirements for nuclear power design can seldom be satisfied by commercial software, so were described in detail.
