LEADERS IN Marim Design SOFTWARE

Fast Ship from Proteus Engineering

FAST SHIP uses NURBS surfaces to assure fairness and flexibility when designing any hull, appendage or superstruc- ture. Featuring real time lines update while editing, hydrostatics and export to

IMSA & CAD programs,

FAST SHIP is used from concept to final fairing by the US Navy and leading ship designers and builders.

INTERNATIONAL

MARINE SOFTWARE

ASSOCIATES

NavCad from HydroComp, Inc.

NavCad offers an integrat- ed platform to predict resistance and power, and to determine optimum propeller parameters.

With NavCad each aspect of a ship's performance can be evaluated for virtu- ally every type of displace- ment hull, semi-displace- ment and planing craft, river barge train, catama- ran and auxiliary-powered sailboat.

General

Hydrostatics (GHS) from Creatine Systems, Inc.

Widely recognized as the most advanced and pro- ductive trim/stability/ strength software.

Specialized versions are available for ship opera- tors, for salvage engineers and for small craft design- ers. Includes efficient modeling for all types of complex vessels, and the ability to analyze them both afloat and aground.

ShipCAM &

NC-Pyros from Albacore Research Ltd.

ShipCAM4: Fairing, loft- ing, surface/surface inter- section, filleting between two surfaces and shell expansion for developable and compound curvature surfaces for ship construc- tion and repair.

NC-Pyros is a NC-code generator for burning fea- turing automatic path con- nection, leads and interfer- ence check.

Maestro from Proteus Engineering

MAESTRO is a structural design tool which com- bines finite element analy- sis, failure mode evaluation and multiobjective struc- tural optimization. Rapid modeling of structure and of realistic ship loads enable full ship structural analysis to be an integral aspect of the design process for ships, advanced and high perfor- mance vehicles, offshore structures and submarines.
