user-oriented software for rapid ship design

CAFE is an innovative software for simple and rapid generation of ship concepts. The software relies on an easy-to-design logic which enables a userfriendly design environment. 3D ship and equipment models can be imported into the system. CAFE automatically generates classification drawings that include equipment arrangement. CAFE capabilities can be seen in the video at www.bvbcafe.com

geometry can be imported from other CAD software properties of plates along with realistic profiles are imported from MS Excel and can be expanded, modified or replaced by user enhanced and simplified man-model interaction utilizes arbitrary inclined guiding planes that add, reshape, move or split any entity in a 3D model elements attached to a guiding plane can change their shape and number of attached beam elements if necessary magnetic surface concept enables automatic surface reshaping to fit the shape of another neighbouring surface internal structure along with the imported equipment can be visualized by walktrough visualization capability multi-user collaboration is supported in real-time

all structural element types are capable of being automatically meshed and refined for the purpose of FEM or hydrodynamic analysis the software provides calculation of volumes, masses and position of structural centre of gravity several types of structural loading are available, including wave loads utilized by Smith correction the software is capable of balancing the loads and reaction forces on boundary conditions in case when full ship FE model is being analyzed FE models and hydrodnamic mesh can be transferred to external solver such as NASTRAN, FINSAP and LS-DYNA
