CAD/CAM

New 3D Geometry Engine

Solid Modeller Introduced

Denab Robotics now offers a

Parasolid-based option to its simu- lation software products which reportedly gives engineers advanced solid modelling capabili- ties and the tools for an effective integration into engineering appli- cations. The major benefit of this capability to the Deneb software is direct access to Parasolid CAD part files with zero data loss from the Deneb simulation environ- ment. Since there is no longer a need to translate large CAD files each time there is a revision, users will see at least a 50 percent reduc- tion in model building time.

Overall, the Deneb Parasolid capa- bility will decrease data acquisi- tion time by approximately 80 to 90 percent, helping to bring engi- neering and manufacturing closer together in a true simultaneous engineering environment.

KCS' Tribon Chosen By

Korean, Ukraine Yards

Hyundai Heavy Industries, spe- cial & naval shipbuilding division, has purchased the hull, work preparation and the complete out- fitting application of the Tribon system. Also, 61 Communards

Shipyard, a commercial and naval shipbuilder in Nikolaev, Ukraine, has bought the hull and complete outfitting applications of the

Tribon System. Tribon — from

Kockums Computer Systems (KCS) — is an integrated design and information system which cov- ers all aspects of design from ini- tial design to production. Design and information systems from KCS are in service at more than 250 shipbuilders and design engineer- ing offices around the world.

Astilleros Espanoles, Sener

Forge Agreement

Spanish state-owned shipbuild- ing group Division de Construccion

Naval (DCN) has signed a license agreement with Senermar, the

Spanish firm of naval architects, for the use of Foran 30,

CAD/CAM/CAE systems for ship design and production as well as an agreement for technical collabo- ration. All DCN yards — Astilleros

Diesel Engine — devoted to new-

July, 1996 buildings have been using the

Foran general design package since 1993 to carry out tender designs and final stability calcula- tions. It is the first time that

AESA has opted for the full Foran

V30 system. Two years ago, DCN considered the strategic need for a change in its CAD/CAM/CAE tools.

In February 1996, DCN and Sener started discussing the contract, which covers not only the license to use the entire Foran system, but also a technical collaboration agreement to jointly undertake new developments and give fresh technological impetus to DCN through the use of the Foran sys- tem. In the short and medium term, Sener and DCN will be work- ing specifically in the area of robot- ics, assessment of tasks, produc- tion data managment and work progress control.
