Dassault Systèmes & CENIT Launch Naval Architecture Solution

By DE Editors

Dassault Systèmes (DS) and CENIT AG, a DS CAA partner and Value Added Reseller, announced the launch of CENIT NAVAL ARCHITECT, an add-on product of the CENIT MARINE product family, which integrates weight evolution management, hydrostatic, and stability analysis in the CATIA solutions for yachts and ships.

The new CENIT NAVAL ARCHITECT product and Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA provide a breakthrough end-to-end solution that streamlines the boat design and engineering process to fully enable the naval architecture design spiral.

Naval architects traditionally use disconnected solutions for weight definition, shape modeling, structure and layout drawings, and hydrostatic and stability calculations based on 2D offsets methodology. Combined with CATIA, CENIT NAVAL ARCHITECT offers a platform that integrates the complete process from shapes design to stability and structure calculations for the development of increasingly audacious boat designs. Using MAAT Hydro+ volume-based computation engine, CENIT NAVAL ARCHITECT facilitates advanced hydrostatic and stability calculations with real-time simulations as well as automatic report generation in compliance with classification societies’ requirements.

CENIT NAVAL ARCHITECT offers a wide variety of CATIA integrated functionalities for the ship and yacht building specific development processes.
