FORAN is a fully integrated ship design software system that was acquired by Siemens in 2021. Since then, FORAN's capabilities have been incorporated into the Siemens Xcelerator Marine Engineering solutions.
This integration provides shipyards with a complete and comprehensive integrated portfolio of software and services that covers all aspects of the ship lifecycle, from concept design through production to operations and optimized service lifecycle management. FORAN ship design software is used at every stage of the design and production of a vessel, and encompasses all aspects of shipbuilding in a fully integrated manner.
FORAN technology and marine software capabilities
FORAN's 3D ship design capabilities are based on advanced information technology relating to data management, interactive 3D visualization, surface and solid modeling, and specific shipbuilding technology.
The system architecture is finely tuned to meet the needs of the maritime industry with high-performance software components that give the modules a shared look and feel, allow integrated development, and make it easy to internationalize.
The data management system is scalable, reliable, and efficient to administer. A robust drafting kernel allows the integration of 2D plans with 3D models and is fully compatible with current industry standards.
FORAN incorporates many advanced features creating an integrated, robust, multi-disciplinary ship design software system that allows for fast, high-performance, easy-to-use modeling.
