South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has agreed a deal to use the 3D model-based NAPA Steel software application to manage its vessel design processes. “Trying to achieve this in an environment where the data is spread in different systems is complex, and can introduce human error in both the duplication and transfer of data between software systems.”He said shipyards are constantly adapting their expectations and their designs to meet different markets, changing legislation and owner-driven requirements. Napa has introduced a single system, with one flexible 3D model and data sharing interface and with key class society rule check tools, to avoid duplication and manual data transfer.“Increasingly, a core aim of shipyards is to reduce lead time on projects, while ensuring that new designs are as safe, efficient and competitive as possible,” Mr Hulkkonen said. Napa product manager Tapio Hulkkonen explained how the software can be used to ensure the ship will meet all compliance and classification society requirements, while reducing the engineering and construction time. Napa has upgraded its NAPA Designer, NAPA Steel and NAPA Statutory Compliance software tools, and introduced new interfaces, to produce a total ship design system.
