Overview

Hull form is key to the performance of any vessel, so it essential to retain accuracy throughout hull design and construction. The use of multiple applications can degrade this accuracy.

AVEVA Surface Manager overcomes this by using neutral standards to transfer 3D hull surface definitions between AVEVA Marine and specialist third-party applications.

Straightforward and intuitive to use, AVEVA Surface Manager enables the most efficient and accurate hull design.

AVEVA Surface Manager complements the surface design capabilities of AVEVA Initial Design, extends customer choice and facilitates quick and accurate hull form transfer between design agents and shipyards.
