Applications of Digital Transfer of Computer Aided Design Data for Production Usage (The National Shipbuilding Research Program)

Abstract

This paper addresses efforts to provide the capability to transfer data between Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems currently in use on the CG 47 contract. The paper will discuss experience with the use of Initial Graphic Exchange Specification (IGES) and direct translators. The pros and cons of both approaches will be addressed. The issue of transferring data between the two different hull design and lofting systems in use in shipbuilding is explored.
