Enhanced design software released

The enhanced reporting options enable sharing across many of the Aveva Marine modules and other Aveva products. The improved capability means that users are able to create report templates via a wizard and can inserts images and charts, making it easier to use with a more professional presentation. Users benefit through the standard model library allowing the ability to re-use designs from existing built-in complex components, reducing the man-hours spent on the design.

Extended language support features and extended data exchange capabilities assist global customers, offering greater flexibility in multi-location projects involving different simultaneous languages. There is greater flexibility when working within an Integrated engineering and design environment due to the automatic creation of symbolic-type marine drawings from the model database, as well as general 2D drafting functions.

Further new products, available in this release, include:

• Aveva Design Reuse – enables the intelligent and adaptive copying of ship’s data between projects.
• Aveva Surface Manager – allows the transfer of surfaces to and from external systems
• Aveva Space Management – a tool to create and manage the automatic subdivision of the ship into spaces.

“The latest version of Aveva Marine has created a technological breakthrough. It brings shipbuilders and ship designers to a new level of efficiency in marine design”, said Stéphane Neuvéglise, head of business management – marine systems, Aveva. “The Aveva Marine technology makes possible the fully integrated, concurrent development of engineering and 3D design data. This allows naval architects, engineers and designers working together on a marine design project to deliver savings of up to 30% compared to alternative solutions”.

Additional product releases to follow include:

• Aveva Engineering – an application enabling multi-discipline engineering teams to concurrently create and maintain engineering objects and their attributes as a project is developed.
• Aveva Pipe Supports – Marine – enables easy and efficient design of support for pipes.
