The National Shipbuilding Research Program, Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium Paper No. 8: The ADAGE Nesting and Drawing System

Abstract

The ADAGE Interactive Nesting and Drawing System is based on the ADAGE GS/300 Interactive Graphics System and a main host computer. The main computer contains the ship design routines, such as AUTOKON, and the Graphics Display System is used to display individual parts calculated by AUTOKON or to draw new parts as may be required, to visually nest these parts on a sheet meal plate, then to display the tool path required to cut the nested parts layout. This Nesting and Drawing package was first developed two years ago as a feasibility study by ADAGE in Italy for a major Italian shipyard, Italcantieri. Since that time Italcantieri has completed the development to the point that it is scheduled to go into production in July, 1976.
