Autoship Announces New

Lease-Finance Program

Autoship Systems Corp. has announced a new lease-finance program, which will reportedly allow a shipyard of any size to implement the full suite of

Autoship's PC-based integrated

CAD programs with a monthly lease program over a term. The new lease program allows existing users to expand or add Autoship programs or upgrade, and includes monthly lease payment for ship- ping, installation, hardware, soft- ware and training.

KCS Offers Tribon 4 Initial

Structural Design

Kockums Computer Systems (KCS) recently announced its

Tribon 4 Initial Structural Design which uses advanced features to assist designers in developing structural designs from concept to approval. The program lends a reduction in design cycles while permitting alternate structural configurations to be analyzed and evaluated. The design can be used immediately by the Tribon 4 Hull detailed design application, elimi- nating the need for rework as the design is refined. The Initial

Structural Design application also provides preliminary planning and material requirements information in an accessible format at early stages in design development.

Tribon 4 Initial Structural Design has been developed in cooperation with shipyards, design agents and classification societies and is avail- able for WindowsNT environ- ments.

Bureau Veritas Launches VeriSTAR

Full Ship Version

Bureau Veritas (BV) has launched a new version of its ship design and structural analysis sys- tem, VeriSTAR. The Full Ship ver- sion is aimed particularly at con- tainerships, and is based on direct calculation of stresses induced in the ship's hull by sailing through waves. "This package will constitute an unrivaled tool for the hull design and maintenance of container ves- sels and specialized cargo vessels, both in power, completeness and ease of use," said Luc Gillet, vice president of Newbuildings for the classification society. The most innovative aspect of this new ver- sion is the computation of the com- plete hull in one single run. The model extends from stern to bow and is not restricted to a limited

July, 1998 part of the cargo area. BV has developed a complete set of loads to define a realistic representation of dynamic load combinations suf- fered by containerships at sea. A new dynamic visualization system has also been set up for easier manipulation of 3-D models. The graphic interface has been specifi- cally designed for shipowners
