NAPA Designer 2022.2

Unique 3D model-based interactive tool for ship design

With an easy-to-use interface, NAPA Designer is an optimized software for flexible and quick changes. The additional simple calculation tools assist the 3D design workflow, for example by providing real-time hydrostatics, compartment capacities and structural weight.

Inner geometry and compartment modeling

The dedicated tools for inner geometry and compartments boost the 3D modeling with state-of-the-art visualization when preparing a model for stability analysis.

Easier, more efficient, and accurate structural modeling

NAPA Designer provides a highly intuitive and efficient 3D modeling experience, tailored specifically for ship structural design. It enables rapid model creation with automation technologies, and flexible adaptation to design changes, as well as inherited use of naval architectural models such as hull form and compartments.

Finite Element Meshing

Our cutting-edge auto-FE mesher, built on the same platform as 3D structural modeling, streamlines the strength assessments. The tools in NAPA Designer automatically converts the as-built 3D model into high-quality FE models for different analysis purposes, compatible with various external FE analysis software.

Intact stability analysis with a toolset for creating and editing loading conditions

A toolset for creating and editing loading conditions provides an easy-to-use and efficient user interface to handle several loading conditions at the same time, accompanied by quick rule compliance analysis tools.

Efficient collaboration and integration

NAPA Designer’s seamless integration with classification society rule check tools streamline workflow efficiency with structural design.

Embracing the “best-of-breed” approach, NAPA Designer provides an open and flexible system, integrated into other software seamlessly with NAPA’s 3D product model. A wide variety of general CAD interfaces and specific production design software integration enable smooth collaboration.
