GRC sells software for submarines

GRC, a Hants-based subsidiary of Qinetiq, has secured a contract to provide Paramarine Version 5 ship design software and its onboard variant Seagoing for Submarines to the government of Canada.

The Canadian Navy will use the onboard software to manage the stability of its Victoria Class submarines and assist in emergency response situations. The simultaneous purchase of Paramarine Version 5 will allow Canada to monitor the stability characteristics of the submarines through their operational life.
This contract, worth over £60k, follows a previous one awarded in October 2007 worth over £75k to develop a stability and structural model of the Victoria Class Submarines.
The Paramarine submarine and surface ship design software was recently released at Version 5 and is accompanied by its sister product ‘Seagoing Paramarine’ software. The next release of Paramarine, in spring 2008, will include further enhancements including Advanced Hull Generation Technology and an interface to Microsoft Excel.

Advance Surface Ship and Submarine Evaluation Tool (ASSET)



The Advanced Surface Ship and Submarine Evaluation Tool (ASSET) is the US Navy’s primary tool for developing early stage ship designs and determining the impact of new technologies on future Navy designs. ASSET is a family of ship design synthesis programs with a common windows interface, incorporating over 20 years of US Navy design experience. Extensive help and program documentation is included to aid the naval architect in the efficient and effective use of the tool.



ASSET integrates all of the required engineering disciplines to predict the total ship physical and performance characteristics. The design is developed with sufficient fidelity so that the total ship implications of subsystem level design and technology decisions are evident. These decisions and the associated input data are based upon the given mission requirements.



NSWC CD provides the capability to quickly determine a quality ship design based on:







Technology assessments

ROM, concept, feasibility designs

Analysis of Alternatives studies

Design studies where the ship characteristics or performance are an issue

Initial product data models for detailed design and analysis by commercial CAD and other US Navy tools



ASSET includes the capability to connect with any other Windows COM compliant tool to facilitate exchanging data and commands. A primary use of this expanded API is prototyping new design processes in an Excel spreadsheet based application linking to ASSET as the ship design engine. This capability has recently been used to prototype the design of trimarans using the monohull version of ASSET. Recently, this capability has also facilitated use of probabilistic design and analysis techniques, such as Design of Experiments, especially in the early stages of Analysis of Alternatives programs. ASSET provides the capability to exchange product model data with design analysis and CAD applications through its integration with the LEAPS environment.









New design and technology options are added when sufficient definition exists. The designer must have the flexibility to address new design and technology options before a complete definition exists. ASSET facilitates this by allowing the naval architect to insert any new technology into a design by defining its impacts upon the ship in the following areas: weights and centers, required arrangeable areas, electric loads, efficiencies, manning.

what is the PARAMARINE?

Paramarine is the worlds only fully integrated Naval Architecture Design and Analysis product that can handle the complexities of ship and submarine design. Its advanced design capabilities are built upon the Siemens PLM ParasolidTM solid modelling capability, which provides much of the geometric detail required to enable the accurate analytical capabilities – as well as providing excellent geometric exchange with other CAD and CAE systems.

Paramarine SeaWeigh and Seagoing Paramarine, the on-board loading computer variants of Paramarine. These products use the same ship or submarine model and analysis techniques ensuring total compatibility between the systems.



The Paramarine product suite therefore enables rapid concept design and development, eliminating costly data transfer between numerous analysis products. The analytical capabilities provided within Paramarine are fully validated by independent third parties.



You will save time, money and understand your technical risks early in the design process through your use of Paramarine.

what do you know about ....

what do you know about ALIGNMENT?

this concept was capable to usedon many works like as shaft aligment,structure alignment and so over.

but in the naval architecture,the important mind is used the real methode for gun alignment.
gun alignment need tu align some spacial porpose:
1-sensor alignment
2-structure alignment
3-gunmount alignment
4-heading alignment
plus to above concept we need tu integrated all of them with the FC machine.

on the recent days,itry to illustrute some of my memorials.
