Sesam.March.2007(c)DNV


The March 2007 release of Sesam contains significant improvements, with new versions of the industry-leading software tools GeniE, HydroD and DeepC.

The new release represents a major upgrade of Sesam, with improvements and new features that will increase efficiency and quality in the daily work. The focus has been on improving modelling speed and support for post-processing and code check.

For each program, a detailed description of improvements and new features are available in the updates section at the support site.

A few selected highlights from the many new features and improvements are described in the following.

Brix Explorer
Brix Explorer was released in 2006 to replace the Sesam Manager; it has become the main entrance to the Sesam programs. This leading-edge technology will enable you to build on the pre-defined templates included in Sesam to create your own customised workflows, integrating your own best engineering practice. Based on experience from one year’s use, we have updated the tool to become even more userfriendly and efficient in modelling and executing Sesam projects.

GeniE with integrated code check of fixed structures
The new release allows for code checking according to API/WSD and AISC/ASD directly from GeniE. Other relevant codes, such as Eurocode, Norsok, etc. are in the plans for future releases of GeniE. Clients with valid maintenance agreements on Framework and GeniE will receive necessary licences to perform code checking in GeniE.

GeniE for floating structures
Since June 2005, significant resources have been spent on implementing features for more efficient modelling of floating structures such as FPSOs, semisubmersibles and spars. The program has been extended to cover the modelling and meshing of the complex curved surfaces typical for these structures. GeniE will automatically create compartments for all closed volumes in the model. Changing a model, by for example moving a watertight bulkhead, will result in an automatic update of the compartment configuration. The compartments can easily be loaded with concept loads such as water ballast, oil, ore, etc. The loads are automatically applied to the analysis model based on concept load, filling height, etc. The compartment definitions are automatically transferred to HydroD for hydrostatic or hydrodynamic calculations.

HydroD for stability analysis and improved ballasting
Since the last release of HydroD, new features have been implemented for stability analysis and improved ballasting of compartments. This means that both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic tasks can be carried out in HydroD, using the same model input from GeniE. Significant savings in manpower resources are achieved because of much less modelling time, and reduced probability for inconsistencies between the various tasks to be performed.

Some of the new features include computation of GZ curves with and without deck tanks for offshore floaters, automatic computation of rotation axis, and connecting flooding openings to compartments. The stability rule checking may be performed according to MARPOL, IMO (general ships and mobile offshore units), IBC, IGC, and the Norwegian Maritime Directory (mobile offshore units).

MASTERSHIP V2008

MasterShip CAD/CAM Software translates a concept design into production (lofting) information and is fully integrated with the latest AutoCAD versions. MasterShip consists of four Generators and an integrated SQL database Organiser
Proven and very complete 3D CAD/CAM system for production of hulls, superstructures and installations with unique database and parametric facilities

100% AutoCAD based, therefore easy to learn, link and exchange with other applications

Daily access to MasterShip Services for software, design, engineering and logistic support

Worldwide available through MasterShip Centers with money saving flexible license-sharing plan

Enables modern shipbuilding technology by linking design to workshop with excellent price/performance ratio

Such lines may be fairing on paper, but not in reality. You can fair such lines automatically or interactively, before you convert them into 3D. The faired lines are put into 3D using a 2D-3D tool. This tool helps you to create a 3D model quickly, based on two or three views.

You can predefine frame spacings and longitudinal positions in the MasterShip Organiser to create hull outlines.

With Shape Generator you easily generate developable surfaces for economic production of shell plates. A deck generator function helps you to interactively define any deck at any position in the hull or superstructure.

Fairing the shape
Once a shape is stored, it can be faired. The great advantage of fairing with Shape Generator is that changes are made on the shape itself. This enables very precise and detailed fairing. To assist fairing, the curvature of the surface is displayed.

Each vertex of the surface can be edited independently, while the impact on the curvature of all wires is calculated and visualised immediately.

You can also create alternative shapes from an existing faired shape by multivariable scaling.

Retrieving data from the shape
You can retrieve data from the shape for production purposes. Projection functions enable you to include details such as seams, fendering, rubbing strakes and other equipment features to the surface.

You can offset seams and other 3D lines perpendicularly or parallel to surfaces, e.g. to correct for plate thickness, overlap, welding gaps, keel bars and spray rails.

You can generate a shell expansion drawing from the hull form, including the positions of seams and longitudinal stiffeners.

From the database, intersections of the ship's surface, with any plane, can be (re)generated automatically in 2D or 3D within AutoCAD, in order to draw the local ship's construction.

Storing the shape
The Shape Generator manages the shape database. This database is accessible to multiple users simultaneously. Both surfaces (double and single curved) and lines can be stored in the database.

By storing the ship's hull as well as the seams, frame outlines, longitudinals and constructional details in the shape database, you are assured of hull parts that fit together and frame cut outs in the correct positions.

Synplicity.Synplify.V 9.2

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, San Jose, Calif., April 15, 2008 – Synplicity®, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNP), a leading supplier of innovative IC design and verification solutions, today announced the ReadyIP Initiative, a program that takes aim at simplifying the access, evaluation, and use of intellectual property (IP) for FPGA-based system design. The ReadyIP program delivers the industry's first and complete universal, encrypted design methodology for FPGA implementation, allowing users to incorporate and easily integrate IP from several third-party vendors within their designs using the Synplify Pro® and/or Synplify® Premier solutions, Synplicity's industry-standard synthesis environments.

The ReadyIP initiative comprises a number of key elements. These include standards-based IP encryption with rights management to facilitate easy evaluation of IP; the System Designer™, a new technology-independent IP integration capability that is now part of Synplicity's synthesis products (see related announcement, Synplicity Introduces System Designer: System-level Implementation and IP Integration Tool For FPGA Design); "push-button" Internet access to third-party IP directly from within Synplicity's FPGA design environment; and the use of the SPIRIT Consortium's IP–XACT IP packaging format to enable mix and match of IP from a variety of sources including the use of in-house IP.

Synplicity also announced that its ReadyIP initiative is being endorsed and supported by leading IP vendors. ARM, CAST, Gaisler Research and Tensilica are partnering with Synplicity as charter members in this new industry initiative. Selected secure IP from these vendors, that universally target multiple FPGA devices, will be available through this new program.

Synplicity believes its ReadyIP program is a big step toward providing an industry-wide, standards-based design flow for FPGA implementation using IP which benefit users because they can: 1) try IP before having to license it, 2) improve design productivity when using IP, and 3) use the standards to create their own IP-based design reuse practice.

"Synplicity's ReadyIP Program is the first to facilitate the widespread availability of IP while allowing designers to easily ‘try before they buy' third-party IP," said Andy Haines, senior vice president of marketing, Synplicity. "As important, it allows a company to package its own IP and securely distribute it throughout an organization for design reuse and implementation using Synplicity's ReadyIP design flow." Haines continued, "We are very pleased to welcome ARM, CAST, Gaisler Research, Synopsys and Tensilica into this program not only because they are key IP suppliers, but also as forward thinking companies supporting this major productivity advancement for the design community."

FPGA designers are increasingly turning to third-party IP to implement FPGA-based systems. The ReadyIP solution now gives these designers access to both third-party and internally developed IP within Synplicity's FPGA synthesis products and simplifies IP assembly through Synplicity's System Designer capability, a solution for integrating IP into FPGA designs using the designer's FPGA of choice. IP access is provided through Synplicity's synthesis environment via a Web browser. With this "push-button" feature, the user can download various IP directly into the synthesis environment for evaluation.

According to Mary Olsson, chief analyst with Gary Smith EDA, "ReadyIP is a smart solution that gives users the flexibility to implement designs using various FPGA devices best suited to their particular applications. Moreover, users easily will be able to migrate their designs as new generations of technology emerge. By founding this vendor independent design flow on industry standards, and with great lead IP partners, Synplicity has really strengthened the value proposition of this new initiative."

"Synplicity's ReadyIP program is unique in that it offers FPGA designers easy and efficient access to the IP options available today, including the ARM® Cortex™-M1 processor," said Graham Budd, EVP and general manager, Processor Division, ARM. "We believe ReadyIP will offer designers a better user experience and the ability to complete their designs more quickly and efficiently and deploy them on any FPGA they choose."

"The standards-based ReadyIP program brings a whole new level of IP accessibility right to the FPGA designers who need it the most," said Hal Barbour, president of CAST. "We've been a pioneer in the effective use of IP cores starting 15 years ago, and are excited to help expand the realm of technology independence for FPGA designers through this partnership with Synplicity."

"Synplicity's ReadyIP initiative will help rapidly expand usage of IP by FPGA designers, thereby helping grow the IP market as a whole," said Steve Roddy, Tensilica's vice president of marketing and business development. "As FPGA designs get larger and more complex, FPGA designers will increasingly turn to IP to increase their design productivity."

"By providing a universal and safe method to protect third party IP, Synplicity is playing a key role in helping the industry speed the development and verification of complex SoCs." said John Koeter, senior director of marketing for IP and Services at Synopsys. "With the ReadyIP program, ASIC and SoC designers can now have a convenient way to prototype their designs in FPGAs."

The ReadyIP flow encompasses support for the SPIRIT Consortium's IP-XACT industry standard specification for integration and configuration of IP, as well as support for Synplicity's OpenIP encryption methodology that allows IP providers to securely deploy their IP to potential and existing customers. Synplicity has donated this encryption methodology to the IEEE and standardization is now officially in process through the IEEE P1735 Working Group.

Network-Analysis-SINDA-G-v2.6

SINDA/G vs. 2.6 New Features Summary

The following is a list of major new features found on the 2.6 distribution CD. All of our
software has been upgraded to support the latest FlexLM license manager, and a few small
bugs were fixed. In addition, two new products are now on our distribution: SINDA/G for
ANSYS and the SINDARad radiation module.

SINDAG 2.6 and Thermal Studio
• Improved use of memory over version 2.5 allows larger models to be built.
• THR bang-bang source option – can now control when duty cycle integration starts
• CNV option for advanced contact coefficient
This computes the contact resistance at the interface between imperfectly contacting
materials. Three mechanisms contribute to heat transfer across the interface.
o Conduction – due to the direct contact between the materials
o Conduction – through the interstitial fluid
o Radiation
• SINDARAD support
• QRAD method (heat flux method used by SINDARad) integrated into TLIB & SGLITE
• Improved Thermal Studio
o Thermal Studio will read the SINDA/G keywords and routine names, such as
‘DRLXCA’ and ‘SNSOR’, from file ‘Thermal Studio.xml’ located in the SINDA/G
installation directory. By default, Thermal Studio will colorize these keywords and
routine names in its input file editor. User can add additional keywords in this XML
file.
o Temperature conversion (TMPIN and TMPOUT) is added in the TSOUT routines.
o Storing multiple solution data in one SINDA/G run is supported.
o In Plot Data dialog, the ‘Node Sampling Rate’ combo box is added for node
selection. A ‘Solution’ combo box is added for choosing solution data if multiple
solution data is available.
o In Report dialog, the ‘Time Step Rate’ combo box is added for specifying a time
step sampling rate in report.
o The Plot Legend can be moved to any place within Plot Window.
o Result Name can be renamed.
o When called multiple times from a graphical modeler like Patran or FEMAP, the
previous setup of plots and reports is preserved allowing predefined plots from new
runs to be quickly viewed.

SINDA/G for Patran
o Interface to TSS
o Interface to SINDARAD, including multi-enclosure radiation, 2D enclosure radiation
and both the heat flux and radiation methods are supported .
o Improved efficiency for large radiation enclosure models

o Added Convert SGDB to txt file option under SINDA/G pull down menu. This feature
allows user to have a text file of the SINDA/G database.
o Added Run DB reader option under Analysis/Method. This feature allows the user to have
a text file of SINDA/G database. It is the same as above, but just accessed from a different
location within Patran.
o Modify the db reader to save memory, therefore to support bigger models.
o Enclosure load input form is modified for SINDARad edge radiation.
o User can now run a SINDA/G model and modify the model in Patran at the same time.
Before, Patran paused while the translator and SINDA/G were running.

SINDA/G for FEMAP
o Interface to TSS
o Interface to SINDARAD, including multi-enclosure radiation, 2D enclosure radiation
and both the heat flux and radiation methods are supported.
o Improved accuracy for radiation enclosure models (full method)
o Improved efficiency for large radiation enclosure models

SINDA/G For FEMAP dashboard
o Individual setup panels for each radiation solver
o Once in the dashboard, multiple translations with radiation runs can be made
without going back to FEMAP betweens the runs.

SINDA/G for ANSYS (new product in distribution)
SINDA/G has been integrated transparently into the ANSYS Workbench modeling
environment to produce the SINDA/G for ANSYS* product. SINDA/G advanced thermal
models are directly created in ANSYS and the thermal results are post processed by ANSYS.
Interfaces to our new SINDARad module, TRASYS, NEVADA, TSS and THERMICA are
supported, allowing surface to surface radiation and orbital heating to be modeled in ANSYS
Workbench. Users familiar with building ANSYS thermal or structural models will be able to
use this product immediately.

SINDARad Radiation Module (new product in distribution)
SINDARad is a high speed view factor computational software program developed by
Network Analysis using technology acquired from Sandia National Labs. This technology
allows models to have tens of thousands of surfaces, and still solve quickly compared to
traditional radiation solvers. SINDARad is a module that integrates into Network Analysis FEA
to SINDA/G translators to compute the radiation conductors required by the SINDA/G
Thermal model. Models can be built in FEMAP, Patran or ANSYS Workbench using the
SINDA/G Plug-in. SINDARad incorporates a Windows based interface to make the product
user friendly with a short learning curve. SINDARad computes both the geometric view
factors (Fij’s), and the Radiation Exchange Factors (REF’s or Bij’s), allowing SINDARad to
produce traditional SINDA/G radiation conductors. A method to replace the potentially
large numbers of radiation conductors with heat fluxes into surfaces has also been
integrated into this product, allowing SINDA/G to run models with 100’s of millions of view
factors, yet not requiring additional memory for the SINDA/G model.


FEMAP 9.3.1
See the newfeat.pdf file in the FEMAP931 installation directory for details on these features.
One of the biggest features in 9.3.1 is the ability to use the model tree to edit individual loads
