1. VeriSTAR-HLC (Hull Life Cycle) overview
Philippe Renard

2. VeriSTAR-HLC Interface

3. Ships in service today have no 3D model

4. Manual processing Today, manual processing of :
Thickness measurement reports
Repairs preparation
Structural condition assessment
« at sea, steel is life »

5. How to get ships 3D models ?

6. 3D models could be exported from shipyard
- Model exported from Tribon, Foran, Catia, Intergraph, etc
- This is the best solution, cheaper and more accurate than class-made
CAD file
OpenHCM - 3D model
VeriSTAR-HLC
Shipyard

7. 3D models could be built from scratch
If the model cannot be exported from shipyard, it can be built from the main drawings
