The right shipbuilding CAD/CAM System

The FORAN Drafting & Mechanical CAD application allows the automatic generation of all type of drawings from the FORAN 3D model of the project from all design disciplines (Hull Forms, General Arrangement, Hull Structure, Machinery & Outfitting and Electrical Design). Consistency between the model and the related drawings is ensured, with the important option to regenerate them after any update in the 3D model, which reduces considerably the design time and avoid errors and inconsistencies.

Being a powerful 2D graphic editor, the solution incorporates functionality to create smart dimensioning, symbols, user-configurable drawing templates, to insert labels and to generate part lists from the drawing information. This application is also used for advanced mechanical design, and for the generation of all the needed views, sections, details and BOM´s for manufacturing.

In addition, the application can be used in a standalone version for the generation and fairing of complex surfaces that can be integrated later as part of the hull surface of the ship, like anchor pockets or skegs. It may also be used as a complementary tool in conjunction with FSURF for importing and modifying any kind of surfaces.

Other applications includes kinematics or the management of sheet metal objects.

Generation of Drawings

The application generates drawings containing any combination of selected elements of the 3D model such as hull structure, equipment, vent ducts, cable trays, piping and accommodation. Theoretical lines and surfaces as frames, decks and bulkheads can also be included in the drawings.

Any kind of drawings can be generated, including main orthogonal projections, sections by any plane and perspective views with any orientation, with the type of representation and the selection of the elements to be drawn and format of drawings fully customised. This graphic information can be completed with labelling and dimensioning, both automatically updated after changes in the 3D model.

A special tool allows to search for all the FORAN drawing files in the selected directories, compare the metadata with the FORAN database and declare those which must be subject of update, due to differences from a database modification after the file generation.

Key features:

•Readingofalltypeofentitiesintheproject

•Automaticandsmartlabellinganddimensioning

•Linkbetweenthe3Dandthe2Dfilesforautomatic update

•AutomaticBOM´sfromthe3Dscene

Mechanical CAD Toolset

As a standalone application for advanced mechanical design, the application has the capability to generate and manipulate solids through a variety of methods. Once solids, the objects may be subject of different transformations, including Boolean operations, linked copies and symmetries, scaling and others. Other commands, oriented to the mechanical operations, allow to drill holes and generate shafts with specific characteristics, like thread, tapering and angle.

An extensive use of the graphic snap options enable dynamic links between entities, so further modifications are transmitted to the positions an orientations of the linked entities.

The drawings may be automatically obtained by applying custom-made templates for views,

drawing formats, sections, details and BOM´s.

Kinematics

The application allows to establish mechanical restrictions between solids by their surfaces, declaring the reference and the moving solids. Those restrictions would result in relative movements, according to the final degree of freedom. Typical relative movements are rotations, linear slides, tangent slides along curved surfaces, spherical roller bearings and the like.

Driving some key restrictions by smart dimensions, it is possible to control movements along a given time. And it is also possible to combine them for a complex movement, providing that the whole mechanism is consistent.

Sheet metal

Another powerful feature from the mechanical CAD toolset consists on the handling of sheetmetal objects, typically the HVAC ducts and bespoke cabinets or lockers. In this case, the application has the capability to design and unbend all the parts for manufacturing. Even the unbent sheets may be transferred later into the FORAN database for complete handling, including the automatic nesting.

Surfaces Generation

The application is particularly powerful in the generation and fairing of surfaces, with intuitive and visual checking of the smoothness and curvature of the patches that later on would be part of the hull surface, or even the shell of a casting piece from which to obtain all the needed set of drawings.
