SHIP & BOATBUILDING TECHNOLOGY Foran V40 Foran V40 from Sener is a highly integrated CAD/CAM/CIM system developed specifically for ship design and construction. The sys- tem can reportedly be designed for virtually any type of vessel and adapted to meet the specific requirements of shipyards, both for engineering and production. A full-ship product model serves as the main information vehicle for ship design and production infor- mation. It contains topological and parametric relationships, 3D geometry, material definition, stat- ic and dynamic attributes and manufacturing data. This model is created once and increases with accuracy as the design matures and progresses. The model is stored in a single data base. The most recent design information is available for all par- ties involved in the design, lending concurrent engineering and coop- INTERIOR JOINER WALL PANELS Thermax ® 7 SALES & DISTRIBUTION Panel Specialists, Inc.

Maestro's capabilities include rapid structural modeling, finite element analysis, failure analysis, evaluation of structural adequacy, structural optimization and detailed stress analysis. Maestro's modeler provides an interactive graphical environment for the rapid development of ship structural models. The user enters basic hull geom- etry data and the modeler auto- matically generates the 3D finite element data. This program is currently widely used by various navies, classifica- tion societies and ship builders and designers.
