Basic Vessel Design

Define an early 3D model to generate the required outputs for class approval with Basic Vessel Design

A screenshot of basic vessel design using FORAN

Basic Vessel Design provides the preliminary definition of a 3D model ship to obtain the reports and drawings required for the approval of class societies. It also supports a quick definition of the structural and outfitting elements in 3D. This capability covers global geometry, attributes, and scantling in an extremely efficient manner.

Class drawings are generated automatically from the 3D model, which may be FEM analysis using an automatic idealization tool in FORAN, which provides bi-directional communication with any FEM suite.

FORAN Basic Vessel Design Benefits:

  • Smart export to FEM tools in standard formats, with an idealization capability to avoid unnecessary data for the analysis
  • Intelligent definition of P&I and single wire diagrams connected to the 3D model
  • Early machinery and equipment layout
  • Automatic regeneration of class drawings after changes in the model
  • Smooth transition to detail design and production stage
  • Considerable reduction in work hours by combining FORAN and pre-processor meshing compared with modeling directly in the pre-processor.
  • Weights and materials estimate

Class Drawings

Tools to create structure class drawings from the 3D model, in the traditional 2D structure style, and to update drawings after changes in the model. It is DXF compatible. Some remarkable features are the smart labeling, the possibility of automatically inserting symbols each time a drawing is generated, and propagating changes in the 3D model to each drawing upon user request.

FEM Export

The model is created in true shape. Plate and profile elements are rendered as BREP solids, including thickness, openings, end cuts, and other details. For global FEM analysis, a tool simplifies the structure model, removing thickness and non-relevant details, and then applies the necessary stretch or shrink to the elements to ensure that contacts and connections are kept.

Hull and Deck Structures

Shell and deck plates can be modeled as areas of common grade and scantling, limited by any 3D curve on the surface (butts, seams, knuckles, etc.). These areas can be divided and detailed if the design progresses. Insert sets of longitudinal stiffeners from end-to-end on each surface, and chop them at the points of change of scantling. As in the case of plates, stiffeners can be later detailed and split at block or part boundaries.

Internal Structure

FORAN provides tools for defining planar, multi-planar, or corrugated structures. In many cases, bulkheads, floors, web frames and beams, stringers, and other structural elements can be easily defined just with one click on a sequence of intersection lines, automatically provided on each working section. The smart or topological copy is of special interest at the basic design stage.

Machinery & Outfitting Layouts

Outfitting and machinery layouts can be defined, allowing ship configuration in the early stages of the project. This application follows the model-to-drawing approach, but also provides a 2D drafting environment that is DXF compatible and includes functions for placing and modifying equipment on the ship views. The 3D model is automatically updated when the 2D is modified.

P&I Diagrams

FORAN provides a smart 2D generator for piping, instrumentation, and electrical schematics. Equipment, pipes, and other elements on the diagram are transparently assigned with technological data and attributes from the machinery and outfitting libraries in the database.

  • Full 2D editor, DXF compatible.
  • Bidirectional integration with the 3D model.
  • Connection consistency between equipment or fittings symbols and distributors.
  • Automatic assignment and online edition of properties to elements.
  • Automatic generation of parts lists.
  • Management of multi-sheet diagrams.

Structure for Basic Design

Surface model tools provide a powerful set of tools for defining hull forms or can import the hulls from any third-party software.

  • Modification of existing hull forms, using typical marine transformation methods.
  • Modification of hull forms from curves, keeping boundary conditions.
  • Pattern-based definition of decks and parametric definition of bulkheads (planar, corrugated, and extruded).
  • Topological relations between surfaces

Weight & Materials Estimate

FORAN provides accurate weight calculation of all parts included in the 3D model. The parts are considered with true shapes, including thickness, actual scantlings, openings, lengths and diameters, with the maturity level present in the model. The 3D model can produce material estimates in terms of tons of steel, areas of plate for each thickness and grade, total length for each profile section, material and scantling, number and type of fittings, pipes, and equipment.
