Abstract

In recent years, the integration capability between CAD and PLM systems has become a key functionality to ensure productivity in ship design and construction, to guarantee an optimal quality, reduce design errors, enable the appropriate digitalization processes and allow consuming CAD generated data along the whole ship life cycle. However, many different approaches have been adopted by the largest shipyards to implement this feature, from the simple export/import based processes, through gateway functionalities, and up to a full bidirectional real-time integration. But now, we are presenting a step beyond, which is the interoperability between both worlds: CAD and PLM. The current paper describes some of the most recent capabilities being introduced, by means of having a really user friendly handing of data between them.
