SENER will take active part in SINAVAL-EUROFISHING from 21st to 23rd of April, a fair hold every two years in Bilbao. During the exhibition SENER will present the new enhancements in the shipbuilding CAD/CAM System FORAN, in all disciplines (Forms, Naval Architecture and General Arrangement, Hull Structure, Machinery and outfitting, Electrical Design and Drafting).
The Naval Architecture modules have been renovated in a single tool called FBASIC that incorporates new capabilities and interface working in conjunction with the General Arrangement solution, to improve the tasks during the early design stage: forms generation, compartment generation and naval architecture calculations.
A link with FEM tools is available in FORAN and incorporates new functionality, to ensure that a proper FORAN 3D model of structure is exported to run the calculations, while the Virtual Reality Solutions allow to navigate through the model in an impressive environment to review the model, simulate operations and to study ergonomics, both in one face simulators or caves with multiple ones.
SENER will present as well the different solutions to shipyards, ship-owners and design offices over the world: the design of any kind of vessel and offshore artefact, marine and offshore engineering and consultancy, supply of construction kit for ships, technical assistance, ship-owner surveyor and project review.
Finally, SENER is proud to celebrate this year the 50 anniversary of FORAN.
