SENER, ESI Group to Integrate Solutions
The global company ESI Group, a virtual prototyping and testing software developer, has joined efforts with SENER, a company in marine engineering and the development of CAD/CAM system for the shipbuilding industry, with the aim of marketing and integrating their respective solutions, IC.IDO and FORAN. Nowadays shipbuilding is dominated by vessels with highly complex and sophisticated designs. There is also a growing trend of distributing the engineering tasks between multiple remote agents, and a need to produce integrated designs for effective ships with no margin of error.
Seminar Addresses Marine Vibro-Acoustics
As the International Maritime Organization (IMO) furthers measures for controlling onboard noise and vibration levels in the interest of passengers and seafarers’ health, it has become increasingly important for the shipyards and design houses to understand the deeper sciences related to the subject and explore technologies that predict noise levels at the design stage to avoid costly retrofits and modifications. IRClass, having developed empirical methods for onboard noise prediction, has been contributing research papers to the Vibro-Acoustics Marine Special Interest Group (SIG) seminar since 2012. The Vibro Acoustics Marine SIG is a technical forum initiated by the ESI Group that spreads awareness amongst stakeholders about noise prediction at design stage.
