Intelligent Ship Design

An integrated solution for the entire ship project life cycle powered by NAPA and CADMATIC

NAPA and CADMATIC have strengthened their cooperation by offering shipyards and ship design companies our globally trusted and intelligent ship design software as an integrated solution.

The integrated solution covers the entire ship project life cycle from naval architecture to basic and detail design through to production and delivery.

NAPA is a powerful tool used in naval architectural calculations, structural design, and data analysis. It also boasts a suite of products that supports ship operation.

CADMATIC is a leading solution provider for ship 3D hull structures, 3D piping and outfitting, 3D layout, P&I diagrams, visualization and management of design, engineering and production information, and digital transformation tools.

The integrated solution optimizes ship design, engineering and production processes and leverages the power of digital transformation to streamline the design process; effectively consolidating data and creating a greater platform for collaboration and enabling the use of digital twins from the beginning of a project.

The Intelligent Ship Design solution enables successful execution of complex design challenges, like 3D model-based class approval, and collaboration across large multi-site projects while saving time and costs by avoiding the duplication of information across different systems. The solution will subsequently enable customers to win more contracts and fully realize the commercial success of these projects.

Structural design

NAPA Steel upgrades the initial and basic design for structures by taking the design work from traditional 2D drawings to 3D modeling. Using a 3D model for structural design from the beginning of the project has several benefits, from earlier rule compliance information leading to more accurate weight and cost results.
