CAD/CAM/CAE peller design. The system also contains a database including information on more than 300 ships built or developed by Hyundai, a source of information which the yard contends will only aid future design and development.

Another perennial leader on the

CAD/CAM front has been Sweden's

Kockums Computer Systems (KCS), powered by its world-class Tribon ship production system. KCS recently announced Tribon M1, a new generation of the leading Tribon software system for ship design and building. Tribon M1 is designed to offer a new level of effi- ciency in shipbuilding design and pro- duction, using the MicroSoft NT based technology to establish standards in terms of ease of installation and use, as well as 3-D design development and management. Tribon Ml offers full 3-D high speed solid display technology for modeling and viewing to all designers using standard PC equipment. Tribon has four focused areas of applications, including design, rule-based automated design, design management and produc- tion engineering.

Intergraph has a long history of working closely with shipbuilding cus- tomers on such projects as U.S. Navy

CAD-2, LPD 17 and DARPA/

MARITECH, and various European and

Asian Navies such as DCN in France,

Bazan in Spain, Fincantieri in Italy, and the Turkish Navy. The company devel- oped a suite of products that provide an

Integrated Ship Design and Production (ISDP) environment. The Intergraph

ISDP environment provides systems and services to support the design, construc- tion, maintenance, overhaul, alteration, repair, and refurbishment of ships and shipboard systems. Intergraph success- fully completed in the U.S. ISDP is being used in the design of the U. S.

Navy's LPD 17 amphibious ship and by commercial shipbuilders worldwide. In conjunction with international industry partners, Intergraph is currently devel- oping the next generation system that will streamline shipbuilding processes, deliver better ships, lower manpower and material costs, and reduce the time to construct world-class naval and com- mercial vessels. Intergraph's shipbuild- ing solutions are based on WindowsNT architecture.

Recently Albacore Research Ltd. (ARL) added new features to its CAD-

Link 98 program, which the company reports is the only software that allows shipbuilders to create a 3-D structural product model using AutoCAD Release 14. CAD-Link98 provides full 3-D structural modeling inside of AutoCAD 14, and it effectively hides most of the complexity of drawing in 3-D. Structur-
