NAOS Deploys Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Platform to Virtually Develop Complex Superyachts

“Designed for Sea” and “Optimized Production for Sea” Industry Solution Experiences Connect Design, Engineering and Production for Real-time Decision Making

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France & HAMBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) (Paris:DSY), the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that NAOS Group, a leading company in the design of marine vehicles, is the first to deploy the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to virtually create and manage the master reference of a superyacht, from digital design to production documentation. With the "Designed for Sea" and "Optimized Production for Sea" industry solution experiences, NAOS integrates all design, engineering and manufacturing processes in a single virtual environment for efficient, real-time collaboration.


Ships are increasing in size and integrating more energy-efficient equipment as well as automated and connected systems. In parallel, safety and environmental regulations are impacting their architecture. NAOS, recognized internationally for highly flexible and fuel-efficient ship designs, wanted to facilitate the numerous design changes that are typically requested by shipyards and ship owners during the complex project development process.

With the "Designed for Sea" and "Optimized Production for Sea" industry solution experiences based on Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform, NAOS can virtually experience a superyacht throughout its development. Naval architecture and marine engineering services teams are connected to requirements, regulations and project planning, with full traceability. NAOS can capture and reuse existing data, handle design changes with high reactivity, start planning manufacturing early in the design process, and deliver high-quality documentation for hull structure scantling and fabrication as well as for systems design and installation.

"We have used various shipbuilding CAD systems in the past to develop superyacht projects for shipyards, but wanted a new, more efficient approach that a business platform provides," said Roberto Prever, President, NAOS. "‘Designed for Sea and ‘Optimized Production for Sea make it possible to seamlessly decide on design changes related to stability, basic design, advanced structural design, or safety. Now, we can deliver a projects entire design and engineering much more efficiently. In addition, the integration of manufacturing documentation gives our shipyard clients significant advantages to optimize their production and assembly costs."

"Leading shipyards around the world strive to build high-value, high-performance ships that are tailored to specific customer requests, and the way in which they design and build can have huge business impacts," said Alain Houard, Vice President, Marine & Offshore Industry, Dassault Systèmes. "The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables NAOS to design and engineer ships with high quality and sustainability, while fulfilling budget and time requirements, enhancing their reputation in the marketplace."

Dassault Systèmes is exhibiting in Hall B2, Upper Floor, Stand 103.2, at this years SMM Hamburg from September 6-9.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
