DNV 3D Approval Platform
DNV promotes the exchange of 3D OCX models with all customers who are using an OCX-enabled 3D design tool that enables the export of the OCX file format. These customers can choose to submit a 3D OCX model as design documentation instead of traditional 2D structural drawings.
DNV offers three ways for customers to interact with DNV:
- Efficient Rule Check using Nauticus Hull by the direct import of the 3D OCX model exported from the CAD system.
- Early Design Review/Pre-contract based on the review of an early 3D OCX model.
- A full model-based approval process covering the hull discipline.
A prerequisite for a designer/yard to engage with DNV and the model-based approval platform is the ability to deliver a 3D design model on the OCX format in the basic design stage.
