This paper develops the piece creation of Hull-structure using PC(Personal Computer) which is from CADRA of graphic program. Large-sized shipbuilding yard was carried out on the development of CNC(Computer Numerical Control) auto cutting system used in super S/W such as AUTODEF, TRIBON. But this system needs lots of expenses and high technician, and only used in large-sized shipbuilding yard, not medium-sized and small-sized shipbuilding yard. To bring up the small and medium-sized ship building yard lacking a little competitive power. Small and medium-sized shipbuilding yard need the piece creation of Hull Structure S/W which is joined with the CADRA. Therefore the piece creation of Hull-Structure S/W is developed to joined with the CADRA of graphic S/W to create the piece to be needed on as auto cutting process using PC.

The nesting of parts cut on raw steel plate has been a subject of interest to the shipbuilding industry for many years. "Nesting" is defined operation of layout of the parts on the raw material with minimizing the waste rate. Therefore, it is very important to optimize the cutting area. Since the existing nesting programs are prepared for expensive workstations and the expert, it is needed to develop nesting program for personal computer to improve the technology of small/middle sized shipyards and their productivity. This study involves development and application of appropriate optimization technique to solve the problem of plate nesting. And the appropriate D/B for storing nesting data developed, the function of D/B is introduced in this paper.his paper.
