FORAN offers impressive capability for defining any hull form, including asymmetric ships and multihull vessels. The most advanced techniques based on industry-standard NURBS surfaces are applied to create hull forms either from scratch or from any preliminary definition.

FORAN features complete calculation of hydrostatic values, Bonjean curves, deadweight scale, cross curves of stability, freeboard, floodable and permissible lengths, sectional areas and trim diagram. Output provides the complete set of hydrostatic curves and listings. The hydrostatic values can be obtained for different drafts, trim angles and values of seawater density, considering sagging and hogging situations

FORAN permits the fast definition of a complete and accurate 3D model of the hull structure, including shell and deck plating, structural profile parts and internal structure.

The product model database permits FORAN to provide the production department with all the necessary information for hull fabrication, pre-assembling, mounting, material management, planning and quality control directly.

FORAN provides a single application with specific working modes for a complete and accurate definition of the outfitting 3D product model, including equipment, piping, HVAC, cable-trays and structural outfitting

All the working contexts share suitable functionalities for scene preparation, clash detection and fast routing and arrangement options

The 3D product information stored in the Oracle database provides the capability of obtaining drawings, reports and spools/isometric sketches at any stage during the design process.
