Use project data from any source
Incorporate new and existing design packages into your existing workflows, while gaining an integrated environment to manage all of your projects.
Don’t let the design package disrupt your shipyard
Shipbuilders and design agents are being asked to deliver vessels faster, often by starting from proven or third-party vessel designs.
Increased risk
Uncertainty around the change required.
More disruption
Tools that assume you’re starting from scratch.
Additional rework
Inheriting the workflows of another shipyard.
A practical way to work with any design
Whether you need a quick way to manage information, modify aspects of a project, or convert a project to support existing processes. SSI gives shipbuilders and design agents a flexible, incremental way to work with project information from any source.
Options to support project objectives
SSI gives shipbuilders a flexible, incremental way to work with models from any source.
Keep what works. Extend where needed.
Manage
Bring in external data and start using it immediately.
Easily reference, manage revisions and configurations, make comments, and collaborate on project data
no matter the source – including Cadmatic, AVEVA Marine, Foran, or SSI ShipConstructor.
- Part BOMs and properties
- Structural hierarchy
- Associated deliverables, documents, or specifications
- Geometric visualizations of parts, assemblies, or compartments
Connect
Connect the design to manufacturing information.
For an existing design package, get working quickly and change a system, update equipment, or modify a section of the vessel.
Convert
Speed up downstream changes and variant management.
Convert the full model into SSI and run it using your workflows, automation, and production processes.
Austal builds Australia’s landing craft heavy
Austal is a long-standing SSI client working with SSI on third-party model approaches in complex shipbuilding programs.
This reflects a shift toward more connected and flexible ways of working with ship design and production data across multiple sources.
Austal’s engagement in this area reflects the growing need to work with external design packages without breaking existing shipyard processes.
“We’re working with SSI to bring design information from different sources into a single working environment, creating continuity across our design and production workflows.”
