Company:Germanischer Lloyd Products:Patran Industries:Shipbuilding | Overview: The German classification society Germanischer Lloyd is using MSC Patran as the foundation for their industry-specific solution GL/ShipModel. Through customization based on the MSC Patran pre-processor, GL/ShipModel enables pattern-based semi-automatic modeling of ship structures while taking into account specific shipbuilding modeling needs. Tailored to the shipbuilding engineering process flow, the program's functionality is saving time-up to 30%-and cost, and increasing quality. VPD tools from MSC Software are helping Germanischer Lloyd meet safety requirements, and tight schedules while maintaining acceptable profit margins. Challenge: Scenarios such as hurricanes and other extreme weather situations are codified in technical regulations
and considered in the design and construction of a vessel.Solution: MSC Patran from MSC Software was used as
a foundation for the targeted solution, providing
both a high basic functionality and, with its open
architecture, the best conditions for GL’s plans. The
result is a system that offers scheme/pattern-based
semi-automatic modeling of ship structures while
taking into account specific shipbuilding modeling
needs. | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
