SHIP DESIGN SOFTWARE

Tribon M3 is an integrated software system for ship design and offers the highest quality in the
design and production processes. The first Tribon packages have been developed by Tribon Solutions
(former Kockums Computer Systems). In 2004 Tribon Solutions have been acquired by AVEVA Group
plc (formerly known as Cadcentre). M3 is the last Tribon version. It includes initial design modules,
basic design, hull modeling, outfitting modeling modules, assembly planing and work preparation
modules. Works on Windows systems and is developed exclusively for shipbuilding industry.
Vantage Marine is a new product developed by AVEVA and based on their famous PDMS (Plant
Design Management System). At this stage Vantage Marine is a combination of PDMS outfitting
modules and Tribon M3 Hull and basic design applications.
FORAN is another integrated ship design software system. It is developed by SENER, a private
engineering and consultancy concern set up in 1956 providing the market with solutions for those
problems that have a high technical and/or scientific content. FORAN covers hull and outfitting
design and have an accomodation module as well. In accommodation module, the designer can
either work on 2D drawings by decks or take a 3D approach. Both working modes can be used
indistinctly to achieve the same final results. FORAN's Naval Arhitecture module includes complete
calculation of hydrostatic values, Bonjean curves, deadweight scale, etc. , ship compartments, load
conditions, complete dynamic calculations and analysis, towing resistance and manoeuvrability.
NUPAS-CADMATIC is a joint venture of Cadmatic Oy and Numeriek Centrum Groningen B.V. It is a
unique CAD/CAE/CAM solution for shipyards and consulting engineering offices interested in
improving their efficiency in design, engineering and production. It is clearly a new generation of
open software for hull, machinery & piping, outfitting and interior design, engineering and producing
a variety of production information as well. Take a look at the list of software modules available.
IntelliShip developed by Integraph, designed specifically for the shipbuilding industry processes and
business requirements, IntelliShip provides a full range of flexible ship design, production, and life
cycle
management
capabilities
within
a
single
integrated
environment.
The IntelliShip 6.0 release available now, provides new capabilities and enhancements in ship
molded form design, manufacturing planning, structural manufacturing and drawings.
Intergraph now also provides capability to reference AVEVA Tribon hull objects and
structural designs in IntelliShip for outfitting. The capability allows Tribon users to apply
advanced Intergraph technology for outfitting while continuing to use Tribon for structural tasks.
Autoship hull design/surface modelling program combines the graphical user interface of Windows
with the dexterity of NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) mathematics, the high-end CAD
standard for surface modelling, to give you the tools to quickly and efficiently create any hull shape
from a racing yacht to a super tanker, including the superstructure, appendages and foils.
Autoship Systems Corporation products include a range of modeling solution. Some of them are
Autoyacht, Autohidro, Autonest, etc. Visit their products and services page for complete list and
detailed description.
