The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 10: AUTOKON's New Structural Design Capabilities Moving into the Drawing Office

Abstract

This paper describes new modules added to the batch AUTOKON, which have made AUTOKON very attractive for use in the drawing offices. By means of powerful and easy to use features, a computer based structural "model" of surfaces, stiffeners, etc. may be established at an early stage. This model may be interrogated to produce a variety of drawings for design and production purposes. Benefits: Consistent and accurate drawings, reduction of routine drafting work, rapid transistion of design modifications into updated drawings, improved design coordination, fewer errors down stream. The "model" is available for lofting, will reduce loft hours and smoothen the peak load to generate N/C cutting information.
