CAD/CAM/CAE • Company Notes • Victaulic Co. of America, in coop- eration with Rebis Industrial Workgroup
Software Co., has developed a 3-D soft- ware program for modeling its grooved and plain-end mechanical piping sys- tem. Advantage: the program enables piping system designers to incorporate various Victaulic components, produc- ing 3-D models that allow for system optimization.
Circle 83 on Reader Service Card • Cimatron Ltd., a developer of
CAD/CAM solutions for the tooling process, announced an agreement with
CAD/CAM applications developer,
Regba and Bercom to enhance the func- tionality of Cimatron's MoldBase3D module.
Advantage: The improved Mold-
Base3D module will use 3-D solids in mold, tool and die making, drastically increasing its functionality for mold design and detailing.
Circle 84 on Reader Service Card • As a part of its strategy to improve the overall quality of heat transfer prod- ucts fabricated at Diversified Heat
Transfer, the company upgraded its computer aided capabilities to include the most current level of hardware and software (AutoCAD, Version 14) used to design, engineer and manufacture its heat transfer equipment. Advantage: A faster, more accurate manufacturing process.
Circle 85 on Reader Service Card initial release of version 3.7 include: new prediction methods and optimum trim analysis.
A number of new resistance prediction methods have been added for semi-dis- placement hulls. These include VTT
Round Bilge, VTT Hard Chine, the U.S.
Navy CRTS method and Jin-1988. A shallow water added drag method for fast monohulls has also been developed.
On-going developments for the coming months will strengthen the use of Nav-
Cad for ship design and operation.
Upcoming features will include a con- ceptual bulb designer to help identify basic geometric parameters of a bulbous bow during the early design stages, and a voyage analysis spreadsheet to help plan route options and review designs over an entire operating profile.

HydroStatics) the popular PC-based ship stability/strength software package is due to be released this month. It rep- resents a major milestone in the contin- uing enhancement of GHS by its origi- nal developer, Creative Systems, Inc.
This version takes advantage of the resources available in 32-bit operating systems to improve performance and user-convenience. It also provides sev- eral new features and many refinements.
Among them are: Full A-265 (VIII) probabilistic damage; Torque calcula- tions; Bulkhead shear corrections; Cali- bration of tank properties to match external data; A new geometry editor;
Easier printer setup.
