SolidWorks Corp. today said that a Seattle shipbuilder is using its software to build a Coast Guard patrol boat.
With offices in Concord, SolidWorks is part of Dassault Systemes SA, a French company that develops and markets software for design, analysis, and product data management.
The shipbuilder is Kvichak Marine Industries.
Kvichak’s contract requires that each of the boat’s 5,000 parts be fully modeled in computer-aided design software. Kvichak is using SolidWorks software to annotate the Web-based model of the ship, SolidWorks said.
