BAE Systems | Aerospace and Defense | 111400 | $26.3B | United Kingdom | Siemens Digital Industries Software | Siemens FORAN (ex Sener FORAN) | Computer-Aided Design (CAD) | 2014 | n/a |
In 2014 BAE Systems implemented Siemens FORAN (ex Sener FORAN) as a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) application to support structural and hull design activities across its shipbuilding programs. The deployment targeted naval platforms including the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, River class offshore patrol vessels, Type 26 frigates in the United Kingdom, the Hunter class in Australia and the Canadian Surface Combatant program, aligning CAD-driven design work with engineering and fabrication functions.
The implementation emphasized structural modelling and hull form conversion capabilities, with FORAN configured for plate and shell modelling, standards management and custom macros. Engineering teams developed FORAN standards and macros specifically to drive the HGG robot cutting bar and to standardize fabrication outputs, applying application-level automation and templates to control part definition and cutting bar workflows.
Integrations included a CAD-PLM interface between Siemens FORAN and Windchill, interrogation of the FORAN database for reporting, and a link between CAD and CAM equipment to feed manufacturing processes. These integrations created a data flow from FORAN geometry and part metadata into PLM and CAM environments, supporting downstream fabrication planning and report generation for engineering and manufacturing stakeholders.
Operational governance combined ongoing technical support and training with direct vendor interaction with SENER, and stewardship from roles such as Principal Application Engineer and PLM Structural Information and Systems Manager. Governance activities focused on defining FORAN standards, managing the FORAN-Windchill interface, maintaining CAD to CAM links, and producing repeatable reports through database interrogation, embedding the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) application into engineering and production workflows.

Imabari Shipbuilding | Manufacturing | 1669 | $289M | Japan | Siemens Digital Industries Software | Siemens FORAN (ex Sener FORAN) | Computer-Aided Design (CAD) | 2005 | n/a |
In 2005, Imabari Shipbuilding entered a permanent license agreement to adopt Siemens FORAN (ex Sener FORAN) for Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The agreement followed a pilot project started in 2005 that validated FORAN as a CAD/CAM system to support ship design and production workflows.
Siemens FORAN (ex Sener FORAN) was implemented to support 3D modeling of complex spaces, notably a VLCC engine room, and to generate production drawings and other CAM related outputs used for ship construction. Functional use focused on 3D hull and machinery modeling and detailed design deliverables aligned to shipyard production documentation and drafting processes.
Initial deployment began after four weeks of FORAN training for Imabari personnel in Tres Cantos, Madrid, with modeling work initiated at Marugame Headquarters. The VLCC detail design produced at Marugame was targeted for construction at Saijo Shipyard, and Imabari planned a gradual and progressive rollout of FORAN across its group of shipyards in Japan.
Governance of the implementation emphasized a staged pilot to production transition, local operator training, and the integration of FORAN outputs into existing design to production handoff workflows. The press release frames the permanent license as a measure to reduce costs and improve productivity in ship design and production, and positions FORAN as a strategic CAD platform for Imabari’s ship design functions.
