Abstract

This paper describes an implemented strategy for information exchange between design and analysis systems as used in the shipbuilding industry today. The design of the structural steelwork carried out at a shipyard is referred to as an information base for generating analysis models for the evaluation of structural strength and vibrational behaviour. A system architecture is explained which allows the coupling of any CAD-system with any finite element analysis processor. The need for data transformation between different views on the object is discussed, a tool for supporting this complex activity is described by showing different examples.
