FORAN
FORAN supports integrated ship design, engineering and production information across vessel disciplines.
On the software discovery list. Connector development and release dates have not been announced.
Workflow ideas
Model ship structure
Use the vessel geometry, loading basis and selected design condition. In the intended FORAN preview, model ship structure; the visible result is a hull or system model with principal dimensions and compartments visible. Review coordinate system, displacement, openings and watertight intent before accepting or exporting it.
Coordinate outfitting systems
Start from the environmental case, analysis settings and operating assumptions. In the intended FORAN preview, coordinate outfitting systems; the visible result is hydrostatic, hydrodynamic or structural results tied to the vessel state. Review criteria, headings, periods, load transfer and solver validity before accepting or exporting it.
Prepare production data
Begin with the compared design cases and reporting template. In the intended FORAN preview, prepare production data; the visible result is a traceable performance, production or stability package. Review margins, units, condition identity and naval-architecture judgement before accepting or exporting it.
