1. Commercial vessels

Thanks to its versatility, FORAN can be adapted to simple or complex vessels of all sizes and types.

Naval shipbuilding

FORAN provides the best solution to particular challenges of surface naval vessels and submarines, as advanced hull forms generation, configuration and sister ships management, integration with PLM tools, management of special standards and extreme precision.

Offshore

Both in semi sumergible, jack-up, spar, fixed platforms, or related vessels, FORAN implements industry standards for structure and outfitting and manages specific materials, regulations, complex forms and innovative structures.

5.The intelligent tool for ship design and production

FORAN represents the leading edge CAD/CAM/CAE shipbuilding

technology,forthecompletedefinitionofavirtual3Dmodeloftheship

and to extract the production information, including the hull forms generation, GA, NAC, hull structure, machinery and outfitting, electrical design and production outputs.

FORAN supports multi-site operation, from

WAN through terminal servers to

multi-site synchronous database

replication, has bidirectional interface with existing PLM tools, ERP and MM

systems, exchanges data with other

CAD systems, engineering or analysis tools

(FEM, CFD) in multiple formats, incorporates

advanced CIM features and can be

customized for any type of production

equipment or process and implements the

cuttingedge3Dtechnologyforvirtual reality navigation from multiple platforms (caves,

screens, helmets or mobile devices).
