DNV Software's yard applications for analysis and design of ship structures are regarded as the most advanced tools to support the application of CSR for tankers and bulkers. Developments and application of this leading technology were presented at the conference through three well received papers.
ICCAS 2007 - the 13th International Conference on Computer Applications in Shipbuilding was held in Portsmouth 18-20 September 2007.
ICCAS is the premier event for vendors of software systems to the Shipbuilding industry. The 2007 ICCAS conference was hosted by RINA at Portsmouth University in the UK. DNV had a strong presence at this event to highlight its leading stance in software systems to support ship builders and ship owners with regards to early design, structural analysis and hydrodynamics, class approval and integrity management.
DNV Software applications are considered the most advanced tools to support the application of Common Structural Rules (CSR) for tankers and bulk carriers. Its early design application Nauticus Early Design is seen as leading the way in linking early design of hull structures with class rule checks, section scantlings, finite element analysis of load cases and hydrodynamics and rule-based production of class drawings.
DNV Software hosted a stand alongside major CAD and CAE vendors including our partner Intergraph. The stand focused on our Nauticus software range for the maritime industry pulled together in our yard offerings. DNV Software also profiled its leading technology and its application in industry through three, well received, papers.
After the successful three days in Portsmouth, Elling Rishoff, Managing Director DNV Software commented: "ICCAS is definitely one of the best places to be - if you want to learn more about the opportunities with the DNV Software Yard Package."
