Autoship Systems Software: Ruling The Waves

For 20 years Autoship Systems Corporation (ASC) has helped to rule the unruly waves in the marine CAD/CAM software industry, providing products and marine engineering services to customers worldwide. The company is enjoying good success currently with Autostructure, an advanced internal structural design software.

In less than a year Autostructure has become an integral component of CAD/CAM software suites in major shipyards around the world. The software is designed to provide easy parts generation, sophisticated editing, extensive CAD output, and customizable reporting capabilities.

An example of an advanced feature is Autostructure's Copy Panel Configuration dialogue. To increase efficiency and get a project completed sooner, users employ this dialogue to copy details (openings, stiffeners, cutouts and markings) quickly and easily from one flat part to similar flat parts. The settings at the right of the screen provide easy control over which details to copy.

Another key efficiency feature is Autostructure's Report Manager, which facilitates inclusion of designed parts in any report by using the same on-screen browser that you use in Autostrueture.

Weights and Centres, Bill Of Materials and Welds reports are all available, and may be printed directly and/or saved to disk. Quick and efficient customization is achieved using Crystal Reports, which ensures that the final look of a report is to the company and customer specification. Autoship Systems' new and future developments are designed to integrate with other market-leading software.

In fact at this time, Autostrueture is integrated with a leading piping design program. (An official announcement will follow soon.) C i r c l e 4 2 o n R e a d e r S e r v i c e C a rd
