 BILBAO,
Spain, Feb 3, 2009 - The Polish firm GSM Design Group has signed an
agreement with SENER to use the FORAN System. GSM personnel have already
received on site training in the FORAN Structure discipline, given by the
Polish engineering company, StoGda, SENER’s representative in Poland to
promote the FORAN System. The user’s high level of training, together with
the System’s capacities, will allow GSM to comply with the contractual
requirements acquired with its customers.
GSM is an engineering group established in 1999, whose main activity is
offering services to shipyards and maritime engineering departments. The
company carries out projects both for large passenger and merchant ships and
for small, specialised ships, based on 2D&3D systems. With experience in
Poland, Germany, and Holland, it has managed to acquire a big potential in
the maritime shipbuilding industry.
After signing the agreement with SENER, GSM Design Group’s Director,
Andrzej Masztalewicz, declared: “FORAN V60 is the most suitable System to
develop very complex ships and which best covers all ship design and
construction phases”.

About FORAN
FORAN is a totally integrated computer system specifically developed for
design and construction of ships. It comprises several main packages (hull
form definition, naval architecture, hull structure, outfitting, electrical,
accommodation), a number of common modules (build strategy, drafting,
walk-through design review, collaborative engineering), links with
production equipment (cutting machines, bending machines, robotic systems,
etc.), interfaces to management systems and its own integrated development
environment.
Running on Windows workstations connected through LAN or WAN, FORAN
permits a fully interactive and concurrent definition of the ship 3D product
model. The most recent design information is available in Oracle database(s)
for designers of a wide range of complementary disciplines. When designing
each ship part or each sub-assembly, their production processes are defined
too, thus enabling the generation of custom-made, accurate and
well-organized information for workshops (drawings, material lists and
direct input to production systems), with the highest level of automation.
The current user base of the FORAN System consists of over 130 shipyards
and design offices located in 27 countries.
