For most concept designs, the simulation tools used in defining the optimal hull solution are not the same as the tools used for creating the General Arrangements. This often leads to design silos and inefficient workflows. This makes it very difficult for naval architects to determine the impact of changes. If you could integrate the simulation tools with the 3D General Arrangement and streamline the design spiral, you could evaluate design impacts in real-time. Integration can be achieved by having a PLM solution that will allow you to link the data used for simulation-based design directly to the General Arrangement. Having an integrated design environment will enable the concurrent evaluations of hydrostatics and systems layout in the General Arrangement. Designers will be able to quickly update the model with minor changes to the hull, perform impact analysis before significant changes, and have complete revision control of the design in real-time. With a fully integrated design environment, system engineers will be able to work in the General Arrangement without worrying whether they have the latest data set from the simulation team. This environment will replace today’s siloed process resulting from having disparate tools with a more efficient and well-orchestrated process.

Pat McFadden, Director, Marine Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software
A veteran of the US Navy, Pat has worked as a Mechanical Designer and in the IT Services group with AMSEC (a Newport News Shipbuilding subsidiary company), where he specialized in creating custom applications to improve shipyard capabilities. While working at AMSEC, he also attended Old Dominion University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. After completing his degree, he worked for Hexagon (Intergraph) for eleven years, responsible for implementing shipbuilding solutions for Smart3D (previously known as SmartMarine3D) at multiple shipyards around the world. Three years ago, he moved from Hexagon to his current role at Siemens.
