able to easily and rapidly create reports outputted to Excel and customised in the format required to meet the needs of the regulatory authorities,” he explained. “We decided to introduce a proven

benefits including greater accuracy and increased speed of the design cycles,” Gerard Grandcourt, a naval architect at Bernard Olesinski explained. “It is very important that the different aspects of the


design process take place as quickly as possible and in a fully integrated manner.” Mr Grandcourt said that transitioning


to NX had reduced costs, increased accuracy and sped up the process


analysis that is required nowadays. The increasingly complex nature of large yachts coupled with the growing regulations means that we need to take stability into account earlier in the design process,” he concluded. “Once we started using Paramarine we were able to create design templates easily, and the soſtware’s inherent flexibility gave us a higher level of control.” WT
