A ship is a floating city in every sense. It is a “building” capable of sustaining and protecting its human inhabitants while enduring all that our oceans (and mother nature) can dish out. At the same time, it is a highly functioning “machine” equipped with the most technologically advanced hardware and software our engineers are capable of delivering. Designing these mega-ton vessels requires precise communication and orchestration among the engineers involved.
Ben Kassell of the Naval Sea Systems Command will share how the Model-Based Environment supports this critical requirement, including requirements, challenges and implementation goals.

Ben Kassell of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) will present an evolution of the Model-Based Environment within the shipbuilding industry at the Collaboration and Interoperability Congress (CIC) in Washington, DC on October 29, 2015.
Title: Building the Ship Before the Ship is Built
Topics:
- Requirements for a shipbuilding MBE
- Current state of the shipbuilding CAD/PDM/PLM industry
- A brief survey of MBE within the US shipbuilding industry
- The future of MBE within the US shipbuilding industry
Abstract:
Mechanical design and assembly with Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) are used to solve the complex requirements presented to the shipbuilding industry. The product may contain millions of parts, have a service life of over 50 years, and in the case of Naval Vessels, be required to withstand unreasonable levels of shock, vibration, and other environmental conditions. The share of the shipbuilding industry within the Model-Based Environment (MBE) segment is infinitesimally small in the AEC, Aerospace, and Automotive markets, providing little to no leverage over the direction of future products. The presence of Model-Based Definition (MBD) is on the rise across all lifecycle phases in the shipbuilding industry. Whether by accident or design, this is the genesis of the Model-Based Environment (MBE) within the shipbuilding industry. This presentation will explore the evolution of the Model-Based Environment (MBE) within the shipbuilding industry.
The CIC will focus on the following topics with the theme of Enabling the Model-Based Enterprise (MBE).
