CADMATIC eShare
CADMATIC eShare is revolutionizing how shipyards, design companies, shipowners and other project participants think about and use design, production and operational ship information. eShare’s powerful information linking, visualization and sharing leads to faster and more accurate decision-making.
eShare provides support for the flow of information on any project stage. It facilitates and supports production and installation and improves communication. The independent web-based portal can link, visualize and share any ship-related information via the 3D model.
The vast amounts of information produced during all phases of a project life cycle can be used as building blocks of the vessel’s digital twin. The information evolves when the project status changes from a concept or basic design to detailed design and production, and asset management.

VR-Design Studio
FORUM8’s interactive VR-Design Studio* software is deployed by hundreds of research organizations, urban planners, transportation authorities and vehicle manufacturers across all four continents to create fully immersive, realistic models of the built environment. Interactive 3D VR simulation and modeling software VR-Design Studio enables users to dynamically manipulate 3D space, run unlimited drive simulation scenarios, import and edit CAD data, build and texture models, and automatically add roads, tunnels and bridges to create multiple design alternatives in real time, both off and online. The completed models provide users with the ability to visualize and intelligently interact with the virtual world they have created, enabling analysis of the potential environmental impact of the proposed development, including on pedestrian and vehicular traffic flows, to facilitate the widest possible stakeholder collaboration during the planning process.

SONATA
At the heart of SONATA are optimization algorithms by which large vessel (20,000 TEU’s ) multi-port planning time is reduced substantially. Planning time plunges from 16 hours to 40 minutes, and a single-port plan can be created in less than 15 minutes, delivering best-in-class productivity and information sharing. This ultimately results in faster turnaround of vessels and in turn, cost reduction. SONATA creates efficient, safe, and reliable stowage plans ensuring stress and lashing force stability conditions are within the limits – be it a single-port or multi-port voyage. SONATA helps optimize the planning process with multiple cargo views that provide visibility, flexible planning and un-planning of cargo. SONATA helps eliminate container over-stows, excessive vessel stresses, and lashing errors.
