A complete solution for shipbuilding teams...
Collaboration between all members of the shipbuilding design and production team is essential for successful project outcomes. Maxsurf and ShipConstructor provide an integrated suite of tools that support collaboration by all members of the team.
FormSys has a proven track record in assisting major ship design and construction projects in making the best use of these software tools. Our experience in the application of ship design and production software ranges from naval to commercial, from aluminium to steel, from Australia to the rest of the world.
The range of capabilities covered by Maxsurf and ShipConstructor includes -
| The Maxsurf suite works from a single design file, streamlining the design process by removing the need to create geometry files in different formats for downstream analysis programs. This also maintains the integrity of the design, as no information about the hull shape is lost through unnecessary conversions to wireframe or offsets file formats. | |
| The analysis modules cover the full range of naval architectural requirements - all with a consistent hull model and using a common graphical user environment. Whether it is stability, seakeeping prediction, resistance calculation or structural analysis, all modules work consistently on a common model. | |
| The ShipConstructor suite covers the full range of requirements for the engineering team. Its accurate 3D model is used consistently across different zones of the ship and across the varied disciplines within the design detailing team. The familiar AutoCAD environment helps get new team members up to speed in a timely fashion. | |
| The benefits of the 3D ShipConstructor model find their greatest effect when it comes time for production output. Automated production of assembly drawings, spool drawings and NC machine output, saves significant time on the shop floor. | |
