There’s nothing like trudging A across acres of thousands of exhibitors to demonstrate that, just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new comes around the next bend to prove you wrong. But, it’s like drinking from a fi re hose. At the same time, it was clear that there is much on that side of the pond that we can also put to work on ours. And, of course, we can show them a thing or two, as well. Progress on the waterfront during the fi nal 50 years of the previous century was (arguably) mea- sured in the almost unbelievable increases in deadweight, LOA, beam and draft of waterborne ton- nage. If that’s true, then the fi rst 50 years of this one will almost certainly be known for the equally [email protected] amazing leaps in technology that go into building even the smallest of hulls. Just as the master of yesterday’s T-2 tankers could not have imagined sailing on the ULCC’s of today, even the high-tech gadgets on board today’s vessels will seem pedestrian to the mariners of tomorrow. Innovation on the waterfront is alive and well. If necessity is the mother of invention, then the regulatory and operational crises of today are most certainly the drivers of tomorrow’s technologies. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the world of maritime security workboats, especially those being produced by domestic boatbuilders from coast to coast here at home. Demand from foreign navies and coast guards – as well as domestic municipal and federal sectors – are fueling robust output of competitively priced, well-built high tech hulls. At a time when bluewater shipbuilders are experi- encing a sustained upswing in domestic deliveries, our workboat builders are serving notice that they can compete on a global scale. Susan Buchanan lays out the story, starting on page 28 of this edition. Many stakeholders believe that the domestic oil boom is the biggest factor driving our maritime rebound. If so, then it also follows that the need for environmental compliance and fuel economy form the one-two punch which is guiding the creation of new and innovative designs for brown water tonnage. That means LNG. The race to create and market the perfect LNG bunker barge and some interesting twists on that concept is well underway. The competition between naval architec- ture shops is fi erce and not surprisingly, so is the battle to gain market share for the CAD/CAM software packages that allow designers to whip up these forward-thinking ideas. We explore both situations, also within these pages. October is a time when the leaves begin to turn and we look ahead to the weather change certain to come. The waterfront is also taking a turn, in this case, for the better. Looking around at all that has happened, I can’t help but think that those who do not do the same will be forever left behind.

Abstract This report is the Phase I final report of the National Shipbuilding Research F'rogram (NSRP) project (Project Number 4-94-1) to evaluate world-class shipbuilders' existing CADICAMICIM system implementations. Five U.S. shipyards participated in this study along with personnel from University of Michigan, Proteus Engineering, and Cybo Robots. Project participants have backgrounds in design, computer-aided design (CAD), n~anufacturingprocesses, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), production planning, and computer-integrated manufacturing/management (CIM). The results of this evaluation provided the basis for the CADICAMICIM Workshop presented in conjunction with the 1996 Ship Production Symposium, and will be used as background in Phase I1 of the project to develop requirements for future shipbuilding CADICAMICIM systems.

  • COMPIT Paper
    History and Evolution of Shipbuilding Oriented CAD Tools Rodrigo Perez Fernandez, SENER, Madrid/Spain, [email protected] Carlos Gonzalez Lopez, SENER, Madrid/Spain, [email protected] Abstract This paper traces the history of ship design since Roman times, when ship designers began to use curves for drawing frames, through the Venetian techniques (XIII-XVI centuries) reusing templates, to the most modern methods for ship design with FORAN. The FORAN software offers a comprehensive process for the design and construction of ships, offshore platforms and submarines, with the help of computers. It was conceived as an advanced engineering technique for improving the design and reducing the construction period of a vessel. This paper traces the history of this CAD system, since its organization was differentiated into two stages: design (modules from F.1 to F.7) and production (F.8 to F.22); until the recent advances in integration with Product Lifecycle Managements, Virtual Reality and the near future where all the ship product information will be accessible in electronic devices, allowing paper-less design. 1. Introduction to CAD systems Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Systems help engineers and designers in various industries, designing and building 3D models of airplanes, cars, bridges, digital cameras ... and of course, ships, submarines and floating structures. There are other acronyms that are usually accompanying the acronym CAD, such as Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), including instructions to Computer Numerical Control (CNC) ma- chines. One could claim that these CAD/CAM/CAE Systems had their origin around the year 350 BC, with the mathematician Euclid of Alexandria.

  • Programmed Design of Ship Forms A
    Programmed design of ship forms A. Rodríguez, L. Fernández-Jambrina* ABSTRACT This paper describes a new category of CAD applications devoted to the definition and parameterization of hull forms, called programmed design. Programmed design relies on two prerequisites. The first one is a product model with a variety of types large enough to face the modeling of any type of ship. The second one is a design language dedicated to create the product model. The main purpose of the language is to publish the modeling algorithms of the application in the designer knowledge domain to let the designer create parametric model scripts. The programmed design is an evolution of the parametric design but it is not just parametric design. It is a tool to create parametric design tools. It provides a methodology to extract the design knowledge by abstracting a design experience in order to store and reuse it. Programmed design is related with the organizational and architectural aspects of the CAD applications but not with the development of modeling algorithms. It is built on top and relies on existing algorithms provided by a comprehensive product model. Programmed design can be useful to develop new applications, to support the evolution of existing applications or even to integrate different types of application in a single one. A three-level software architecture is proposed to make the implementation of the programmed design easier. These levels are the conceptual level based on the design language, the mathematical level based on the geometric formulation of the product model and the visual level based on the polyhedral representation of the model as required by the graphic card.

Especially, the fine mesh verification is to be conditions. This function, coupled with a frequency performed fine mesh analysis for the various structural calculator, allows the risks to be estimated in one details. It is included in SeaTrust-HullScan, which is the environment. The program also provides a facility to structural design assessment software of KR (Korean carry out a range of parametric analysis so that designers Register) that has been adopted and being used in all and rule makers can identify the influence of parametric shipyards in Korea changes, which, we believe, is a feature very helpful for providing comprehensive guidance for safe design and rule-developing.
