Offshore Coordinate Systems

SmartMarine 3D

To support the modeling of offshore structures, SmartMarine 3D supports both ship and geographic style coordinate systems Coordinate systems with grid planes can be created with Grid Wizard in Grids task environment

Slide 3

Offshore Coordinate Systems (continued)

SmartMarine 3D

Grids type is typically used for offshore grid planes Bearing axis and origin location are reported using cardinal directions (North, South, East, & West) Multiple coordinate systems can be created in single database Any coordinate system may be used as reference coordinate system for placement

Grid Lines

SmartMarine 3D

Grids type coordinate systems display grid lines by default

Grid lines are associated with intersections of grid planes at each elevation plane

Ship type coordinate systems do not display grid lines by default

Angled Grid Planes

SmartMarine 3D

Coordinate systems may also have angled grid planes

Useful for creating jacket structure
