In this newsletter we are happy to present you with our new software developments and news regarding the experiences of several NUPAS-CADMATIC clients. engineering and production of ships. In the early days CAD/CAE/CAM software was mainly developed to reduce man hours in the design. Globally distributed projects DESIGN OFFICE SHIPYARD SHIPOWNER CLASSIFICATION SUBCONTRACTORS SUPPLIERS NUPAS-CADMATIC Management 2 . Our focus on the global distribution and concurrent use of our software in shipbuilding projects will make the NUPAS-CADMATIC software suite even more useful The management and employees of both Numeriek Centrum Groningen and Cadmatic are highly dedicated to serving you with future developments that make your shipbuilding even more attractive and efficient. The possibility to share 3D information during the design phase of vessels means that both owners and designers increasingly use NUPAS-CADMATIC software not only as a design tool but also as a communication and discussion tool. This results in better quality from design to the end product while reducing costs. We feel very confident that potential clients will recognize the development approach we took to achieve this new and wider usage of our systems. Ship owners. Cadmatic and Numeriek Centrum Groningen are pleased to see that our longterm cooperation has resulted in the efficiency and quality gains we expected. An increasing number of new clients are however also choosing our software due to the increased flexibility we have developed. It is our pleasure to present you with the latest edition of NUPAS-CADMATIC NEWS. ship designers and shipyards/shipbuilders now see the benefits of using our products as an integrated solution. This is still a valid justification with the current functionality of NUPAS-CADMATIC. received an order for an Arctic containership from Russian MMC Norilsk Nickel last year.500 dwt container ship will be assembled at the Helsinki yard from where it will be handed over to the client in February 2006.0 m 14. The ownership change of specific areas is now very simple. The project includes 3D modeling of spaces such as piping design and the production of more than 100 construction drawings.

We now have two shipyards in Fukuoka and Nagasaki that build about five ships per year at each shipyard. Ikezaki. and were able to exchange experiences and give feedback. Mr. Concurrent design work in the same area is possible now and the updated design and drawings are available for everyone. As a result of this expansion *) NUPAS-CADMATIC Object Storage (COS) is a completely new data architecture that came with version 5. The biggest benefit with version 5. In the start-up phase of version 5. Ltd. This co-operation is handled by NYKEs branch office in Sasebo. concludes Henriksson.. said Henriksson. design ef ficiency has become ver y important and this is why we started a 3D designing project with NYK Engineering. but I expect to see much improved efficiency in our work soon. the efficiency improvement potential is not so rapidly realised. Fukuoka Shipbuilding was founded in 1947 and has a long shipbuilding tradition. One of the main benefits of the new version is the common database. This enabled the thorough testing of version 5. Henriksson continued. Japanese shipyards often use unique and original methods in construction and design. I personally thought it would be more difficult to get used to the new way of thinking. NUPAS-CADMATIC News talked to Mr. If NUPAS-CADMATIC understands and caters for these individual demands the software will soon spread across Japan. With this in mind I expect that NYK Engineering will play a major role. some more work is required by IT support or system administration. NYK Engineering and NUPASCADMATIC signed a co-operation agreement on sales. The feedback has been good with not much time spent on non-productive work. A 19. Fukuoka Shipbuilding star ted its Nagasaki shipyard in 2004. Eisuke Ikezaki at Fukuoka Shipbuilding about this project. we decided to rebuild our entire standard component library. The whole engine room detailed design is now for the first time being done with NUPAS-CADMATIC software. This is a excellent benefit. Nagasaki Shipyard. Hull outfitting will also be partly done using the software. Fukuoka is currently working on the design of other ship projects as well. This was a convenient moment to update our libraries. The first project NYKE Sasebo designed entirely with NUPASCADMATIC is the engine room of a chemical tanker for Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co. is its flexibility. told NUPASCADMATIC News.

We especially like the following features: It is very easy to lear n. Altogether we have six Plant Modeller modules for 3D modelling and two Piping modules for isometric and spool drawings. because education of Vietnamese designers in designing pipelines is one of our services. This means that the technical specifications and arrangement of machinery. There is thus very little experience of manufacturing standards. so we need some special tools for piping design. This project was newly designed according to latest IMO bulk carrier regulations. The ship owner also wanted to improve the piping arrangement especially in the engine room. told NUPAS CADMATIC News about the project. Namtrieu Shipyard near Haiphong is one the two shipyards building several of these Diamond 53 series vessels according to production information made with NUPAS-CADMATIC by TMC Vietnamese designers in NUPAS-CADMATIC software training in Hanoi There are several reasons for using Nupas-Cadmatic on this project. through Graig. we carry out piping design in Vietnam with Vietnamese engineers. Two ships were ordered from Shanghai's New Centur y yard.000 qu. This is one of the first times piping design for production is being carried out in Vietnam. This series means that owners can have that at a competitive price. In addition. the Diamond 53 design offers owners and charterers major operational cost savings. which is good. including hired Vietnamese designers working at TMCs Hanoi office. The software used should therefore provide complete production drawings and information for procurement. The classification is DnV 1A1.

This is partly due to varying workloads at the yards and design offices but is especially the result of an increase in outsourcing the design of complete turnkey areas of vessels. Version 5. project set-up. 8 . It is as a result much easier to divide design work among several designers and the updated design and drawings are available for everyone. piping and outfitting in such a way as to facilitate project distribution.Designed for distributed project design work NUPAS-CADMATIC Version 5 Distributed design and part outsourcing have become common elements of project design work in contemporary shipbuilding. and project data (3D model and documents). Database centric architecture The new NUPAS-CADMATIC Object Storage (COS) database . NUPAS-CADMATIC has reacted to this major change by further developing its 3D design software for machinery. is now stored in databases hosted by a database server. The use of external design work has however increased greatly in recent times. The sites can create any number of sub-sites. This makes it possible to add new design offices to a project with a few clicks. All object data is accessed via a check in/check out procedure that guarantees that only one designer can modify the same object (ship area) at any given time. features new project data handling structures and database architecture that lays a solid foundation for distributed project design work and further development. The database centric client-server system enables controlled and concurrent design by multiple users in different locations. In large ship design projects it is crucial that several designers can work in the same areas concurrently. with built-in support for concurrent and remotely distributed project work. A new project site is easily set up via interactive set-up tools. Simple and safe design sharing systems Project work files can be sent from a remote site to the main design office using The main site co-ordinates design activities in a distributed project. ensures that system usage and administration is easier and more effective. thereby shortening the design process and expediting the production of drawings. Shared data such as the common component library. Database replication and other technical details are handled "under the hood" by the CoDesigner module. The work is no longer tied to a specific workstation.centric architecture. The data is updated via a direct database connection or via a file exchange. The database architecture has been optimized for managing 3D design data. Transferring design work between several participating designers is now efficient and safe. Outsourcing was initially introduced by shipyards to create extra design capacity while some yards and marine design offices have always relied on outsourcing for areas of their design work. Data updates are conducted via a direct database server connection or by exchanging compressed update files. was presented. There is a growing amount of Nupas-Cadmatic 3D ship design clients in Poland. and the administrators are trained by the people that will support them in the future. PBSP is also engaged in producing software applications with Nupas-Cadmatic that cover the specific needs of the Polish The designer uses and instance of the COS database library. as the software users are trained by Polish instr uctor s that know the specific shipbuilding production needs in Poland.

From May this year Petrobalt will handle a big part of a new heavy lift vessel project to be built at this shipyard. At PetroNed we have already completed some ship design projects with NUPASCADMATIC. Taritsa. It is furthermore very easy to set the software to generate documentation of different types and styles which makes it easy for us to work with different customers in Russia and abroad. The basic design for this project was developed by the Baltsudoproect design office. At a later NUPAS-CADMATIC successfully implemented at PetroNed and Petrobalt in Russia Mr. This will be done by PetroNed in the St. it was decided to join the engineering forces of the shipyards design office with the Petrobalt and Baltsudoproect design offices for developing classification and workshop documentation. Petersburg.A. Many of them find the NUPAS-CADMATIC software easy-to-use and attractive for implementation in their business activities. It proved to be a very good tool for coordinating the project during its design and construction phases. From now on Baltsudoproect will use 14 licenses for both Hull and Piping design. We are very satisfied with the results we have attained by using the NUPAS-CADMATIC software at our offices. says Vladimir Voitannikov. The joint venture PetroNed is established with the support of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (EVD). design office and in the office of the project manager. Russia The successful implementation of NUPAS-CADMATIC at PetroNed and Petrobalt was concluded in 2004. 10 . and are now proceeding well with some other design tasks. Baltsudoproect also uses NUPAS-CADMATIC in joint icebreaker design work The Baltic Shipyard signed a contract with state-owned ROSMORPORT to build two icebreakers for Baltic Sea duty. Project management using eBrowser at the Baltic Shipyard NUPAS-CADMATIC was also used for the Stena Ro-Ro project 1293 which is now under construction at the Baltic Shipyard in St. We did parts of the hull design and all the ship system documentation. This yacht is now under construction at the Yaroslavl shipyard. The recommendation centered around the quality of documentation produced by Petrobalt and PetroNed and resultant gains in efficiency. Four licenses of NUPAS-CADMATIC eBrowser were installed at the shipyard. Baltsudoproect decided to implement NUPAS-CADMATIC after studying the software and on recommendation of the Baltic Shipyard. talked to us about this process and the latest news. This was done last year. It is firstly a very straightforward and logical tool and it takes very little time to learn how to use it. M a n a g i n g D i r e c t o r o f Pe t r o N e d .) in Portugal.

By making the tools more flexible the users get more freedom in this regard. different cargo ships and navy auxiliaries.. The Baltsudoproect Central Design Office was established in 1925. Vladimir Voitannikov. The dimensions of the primary and secondary supports that are based on the pipe dimensions are also automatically created. "It is often a problem at shipyards to decide which designers are responsible for different design activities.. We are very proud to have a partner like Baltsudoproect. the new integration will blur the boundaries between the different design disciplines at the shipyard. Valery Kireev. The new integration of fers new possibilities for 3D basic design. As a result the hull designer is now able to directly design a hull structure such as an engine foundation that corresponds to the 3D outfitting model. the office has developed more than 170 projects including such unique projects as the space tracking ships Kosmonavt Yuri Gagarin and Marshal Nedelin. Pipe Support Designer . At NUPASCADMATIC we try to automate routines as much as possible. Paul Filius.

Improved software integration offers new uses for 3D design New possibilities for basic design. Several NupasCadmatic clients currently use the Plantek module to create 2D accommodation drawings. the NupasCadmatic users receive completely renewed integration between the Hull and Piping & Outfitting software modules. thereby reducing 2D drafting.. The 3D model of the main engine for example can now be put in the 3D hull structure model directly. a great number of timber carriers.. Fukuoka Shipbuilding in Japan specifically requested this as exact production drawings of piping supports were needed. This module automatically produces dimension drawings of the pipe supports. With the new development it will be possible to model accommodation in 3D directly in the hull structure model. Matti Siltanen at NUPAS-CADMATIC in Finland said. We did our best to present all the advantages of the software. One of the new integration tools in the Hull module enables the hull designer to access the library models of the Nupas-Cadmatic Piping & Outfitting module directly and put the models in the 3D hull structure." This working method makes the design of 3D accommodation and 3D hull outfitting structures easier as well. The designer only needs to input the location of the supports and the drawings are automatically produced. Russia's largest Krym tankers of 150 000 dwt..
