The marine industry traditionally is using several stand alone applications for engineering and manufacturing. To keep pace with the increasing complexity of designs and faster time-to-market pressure, this industry requires an integrated solution that would eliminate the long and cumbersome data exchange, and that would eliminate the multiple, error-prone data re-entry which increases design time significantly.
CENIT FASTMarine integrates a complete set of functions to cover the most advanced requirements for weight evolution management and (preliminary-) hydrostatic analysis in CATIA. CENIT FASTMarine and CATIA provide a breakthrough end-to-end solution that streamlines the boat design and engineering process to fully enable the naval architecture design spiral from hull form modelling up to the automatic generation of hydrostatic and stability reports.
Description :
• Preliminary hydrostatic analysis with dynamic impact of mass or hull form modifications on the equilibrium
• Automatic hydrostatic and stability reports generation in compliance with classification societies’ criteria. Additional criteria can also be customized for specific reports.
• Selection of hull openings, tanks and capacities, ship silhouette and other calculation input directly in the CATIA model
• Management of Light Ship displacement weight maturity from estimated to computed status
• Advanced hydrostatic and stability calculations (intact and damaged) and real time simulation through a direct connection to the volume based analysis engine MAAT Hydro+
• Creation of loading conditions for variable loads of tanks, freight, and passengers
• Automatic generation of hull lines drawing showing buttocks, stations and waterlines with automatic annotations
Customer benefits :
• Dedicated CATIA V5 solution for weight management and hydrostatic analysis
• No interfaces or redundancy of data and information
• Associative and update compatible
• Uniform design process through use of template project structure
• Data consistency with one set of design data throughout the whole process
DS prerequisite products :
• MD2, YM1 or equivalent PLM Express configuration including GS1 and PD1
• YM2 configuration is recommended
