The Hull WPM is operated like a web browser. Once a work breakdown structure has been generated by the software, the user can easily manipulate its structure by dragging and dropping items on the workstation screen, rename assemblies, panels, and parts, and also create new ones.
With the new IGES import tool, a variety of (surface-based) hull shapes such as hulls, superstructures, swimming pools, or tanks, can be imported easily, and construction can be modelled directly, based on the data.
information about work breakdown structure, logistics, and assembly order. The basic idea is to increase the overall efficiency of workshops. The Hull Work Preparation Manager (The Naval Architect, July/August 2005, page 50) is a new tool, added to the Hull Viewer module, to further enhance the realisation of distributed 3D ship design and engineering.
The purpose is to streamline the information flow between planning, engineering, work preparation, and workshops, also to shorten the throughput of ships' several assembly stages. With Version 5 of Nupas-Cadmatic, a set of tools for automatic detection and assigning numbers to assemblies, panels and parts have been introduced. Components
such as profiles, brackets, and collar plates are automatically assigned to the correct panel, and the complete work breakdown structure of a hull block can be determined fully and automatically by the software. With the Hull WPM, the user is able to control the complete work breakdown structure of a hull block in a new simple way. The Hull WPM is available both as integrated in the Hull Viewer or as a standalone module, which is intended to be used between project partners, such as engineering offices and shipyards, or between the engineering and work preparation departments at the shipyard.
In February 2006 Aker Arctic will open a new ice model testing facility in Helsinki, Finland.
