T-Promotion is a system that uses polygon data from the front and back of press panels (non-contact measurement data) to evaluate the thickness variation rate relative to the reference plate thickness. *Patent pending. It allows for the confirmation of trends in the overall thickness variation rate of the panel and eliminates measurement omissions. It is effective for detecting thickness reduction and necking areas. The application of thickness evaluation is effective in the following operations: - Utilizing thickness evaluation during the production preparation stage ✓ Confirming the occurrence of necking and cracking ✓ Identifying processes where thickness reduction occurs: Evaluating thickness between process panels, determining at which process the thickness reduction is happening ✓ Evaluating formability: When changing press conditions, identifying which conditions result in less thickness reduction - Detecting changes through regular thickness evaluations of panels after mass production and utilizing this for maintenance.

The shapes obtained from non-contact measurement of molds and products are deformed to create mesh shape data for analysis based on the STL. This allows for the integration of the "real" shape of the physical object into "virtual" analysis technology, making it possible to apply digital twin technology that reproduces the real world digitally. [Application as Real CAE Analysis in Press Panel Forming Analysis] By utilizing the mesh deformation technology of AE-Deform, it becomes possible to compare the virtual data of press panel products with the actual data based on the deformed mold shape that reflects the deformation and know-how. This enables optimization of modification plans and reduction of man-hours. [Application as Real FEM Analysis in Collision Analysis and Prototyping] With AE-Deform, it is possible to deform the mesh data for FEM analysis based on the product CAD data from the design phase to fit the actual shape of the press panel. By conducting FEM analysis using the deformed mesh data, realistic collision and safety performance analysis can be performed before actual collision tests. This can reduce the trial and error man-hours in testing through prior verification and improve development efficiency.

At Ballast Seven Co., Ltd., which specializes in the design of ship modifications, they conducted designs based on point clouds measured with a 3D laser scanner to accurately grasp the differences between the actual ship and the completed drawings. However, conventional 3D CAD systems could not handle point clouds, resulting in lengthy modeling times. To address this, they introduced "ClassNK-PEERLESS," which excels in automatic modeling of piping and steel materials. By simply selecting a portion of the point cloud, they could automatically generate piping and extend it to the appropriate diameter according to standards, significantly reducing modeling labor. As a result, they completed modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving a short delivery time of about three months from order to completion. Curved structures such as outer plates can now be easily created, and the improvement in model accuracy has proven effective in explaining to customers. The company is also looking to leverage this technology for expansion into land-based fields in the future. [Results of Implementation] - Significant reduction in labor hours due to automatic modeling functions for piping and steel materials. - Completion of modeling for 300 shots in less than 80 hours, achieving short-term engineering within three months. - Promotion of expansion into other industries such as plants by utilizing accumulated 3D modeling technology.
