Abstract
The Open Class 3D Model Exchange standard shows excellent capabilities for model-based approval, which is the ultimate goal of the standard. But could the OCX standard be used further to meet the challenge of enabling seamless model migration between different software solutions for design in shipbuilding? Could an existing structural 3D model be efficiently reused in another software using the OCX standard? In this paper, a 3D model will be transferred between NAPA and CATIA SFD using the OCX standard. The transfer quality and required post-processing time will be evaluated. Finally, the potential for model reuse with the OCX standard will be estimated.
