The design of HVAC systems in shipbuilding is carried out in different steps, and those referred to calculations are of capital importance. But the main advantage is obtained when it is possible to carry out calculations in parallel with the modelling, so the final design will be a compromise between the optimal routing of ducts inside the ship, and the best efficiency from the performance point of view. The FORAN proposal represents an innovative and unique solution that allows to achieve the pretended goal and complete the design of HVAC systems, reducing the time needed and minimising the effort, and on the other hand allowing the study of different alternatives. FORAN provides a suitable and fast calculation tool, fully integrated with powerful modelling capabilities. Embedded into the HVAC ducts routing tool of FORAN is the possibility to define HVAC diagrams, to calculate pressure drops, to balance systems and to automatically dimension ducts. Once the design is finished, fabrication and assembly information can be obtained. FORAN allows to define duct spools and to create fabrication sketches for these spools, and with the help of FDE (FORAN Development Environment) it is possible to generate plate developing information (development of components). Also assembly drawings can be generated with the use of FDESIGN module, as well as customised bills of materials.
