Innovationen und bereichsübergreifendes, synchronisiertes Programmmanagement
Die FORAN Drafting & Mechanical CAD-Anwendung ermöglicht die Erstellung aller Arten von Zeichnungen aus dem 3D-Modell des Projekts in allen FORAN-Konstruktionsdisziplinen. Die Konsistenz zwischen dem Modell und den zugehörigen Zeichnungen ist gewährleistet, sodass die Möglichkeit besteht, diese nach jeder Aktualisierung des 3D-Modells neu zu erstellen.

Generate drawings containing any combination of selected elements 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.
Many 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 customized.
Set mechanical restrictions between solids based on their surfaces. Those restrictions would result in relative movements, according to the final degrees of freedom, such as rotations, linear slides, tangent slides along curved surfaces, spherical roller bearings, and the like.
By driving some key restrictions using smart dimensions, it is possible to control movements over a given time. It is also possible to combine them for a complex movement, providing the overall mechanism is consistent.
Generate and manipulate solids through a variety of methods. Once solids, the objects may be subject to different transformations, including Boolean operations, linked copies and symmetries, scaling, and others. Other commands, oriented to the mechanical operations, allow drilling holes and generating shafts with specific characteristics, like thread, tapering, and angle. The graphic snap options enable dynamic links between entities, so further modifications are transmitted to the positions and orientations of the linked entities.
Powerful handling of sheet-metal objects, typically the HVAC ducts and bespoke cabinets or lockers. In this case, the application can design and unbend all the parts for manufacturing. Even unbent sheets may be transferred later into the FORAN database for complete handling, including automatic nesting.
Generation and fairing of surfaces, with intuitive and visual checking of the smoothness and curvature of the patches that later on will become part of the hull surface or even the shell of a casting piece from which to obtain all the required sets of drawings. Key features:
FORAN wird in jeder Phase des Entwurfs und der Herstellung eines Schiffes eingesetzt und ist die einzige Software ihrer Art, die alle Aspekte des Schiffbaus in einer vollständig integrierten Weise abdeckt. Es ist derzeit bei mehr als 150 Werften und Konstruktionsbüros in 40 Ländern zugelassen.
