Basic Design
CADMATIC creates a quick basis for
early structural and outfitting design
CADMATIC offers a comprehensive set of tools and
functionalities for the preliminary definition and arrangement
of the ship’s structure and systems. Advanced 3D modelling
features allow easy and flexible setting up of the entire hull
structure. A versatile function to import surface based hull
shape data speeds up the preliminary design process. Due
to intelligent built-in structural topology modifications to
the structural design can be made with ease. The complete
and consistent 3D basic structural model forms the basis
for class approval and further refinement in detail design.
This means that drawings extracted from the model remain
dynamically linked during the whole design process.
CADMATIC’s interactive and easy-to-use 3D
environment speeds up the creation of arrangements and
results in more accurate and clash free designs. Layout
drawings and material lists are generated directly from
the 3D model and updates drawings and documents
automatically include the latest design changes.
In CADMATIC functional design templates allow storage
of model objects or object sets that can be reused at a
later stage. This makes full use of previously completed
work and saves a lot of time in the early design phases.
P&I Diagram design is integrated with the 3D model
to ensure consistency between diagrams, the 3D model
and pipe production. Diagrams can be easily created
according to standards, specifications and rules resulting
in preliminary material estimates. Classification drawings
are also effortlessly generated from CADMATIC and do
not require 3rd party drafting software. The link between
the model and the drawings are kept synchronised so the
drawings can be created in parallel with the modelling.
CADMATIC has a powerful interface to FEM analysis
software which automatically creates an optimised and
simplified FEM model of the CADMATIC 3D structural
model. The interface can be used at any stage of the design
process and for any selected part of the 3D structural model.
The same basic design model is used for detailed
modelling during the detail design phase, which avoids a lot of
rework. Because CADMATIC’s detailed design functionalities
use the same 3D modelling features, all structural topology,
pipe specifications, component and logistic data are
preserved for further refinement towards production General arrangement
information. Highly accurate manufacturing information is
created by adding production specific details to the model.
The General Arrangement drawings can easily be created
by extracting the views from the 3D model. With the use
of the CADMATIC eBrowser the 3D General Arrangement is
becoming a reality and a welcome add-on to the traditional
process of early design. It simplifies communication
and review work between design office, ship owner and
shipyard and gives a realistic understanding of the design.

Structural Design
Speeds up your structural detail
and production design
Hull structural design with CADMATIC is easy, accurate and faster than
comparable systems. Thanks to the software’s built-in and intelligent
structural topology ship structures can be modelled easily and even
more importantly, changes can be executed quickly. The structural
topology gives the designer the maximum benefit and flexibility
throughout the whole design process. Changes to the hull shape are
reflected automatically in changes to the hull structure, speeding up
design changes significantly.
The user can split the basic design model into smaller blocks and
refine the 3D model in detail or begin the 3D design from scratch.
CADMATIC is capable of importing surface-based hull shape data from
various design programs.
Shipbuilding materials and standards such as various
profile types, cut outs, holes, notches, brackets,
etc. are included and used topologically in
the design. Profile end types and bevels can
be determined automatically according
to user-definable rules that prevent in-
consistencies in your design.
CADMATIC’s advanced 3D hull library
mechanism stores, manages and re-uses
(parts of) 3D structural models preserving
model topology and properties. It is possible
to re-use any kind of stored 3D structure such as
a pump foundation, staircase or even a complete
model of a midship and reposition it automatically
according to the new environment.
The built in 3D Hull Viewer is a helpful tool that assists the designer
to analyze and check the 3D model for technical inconsistencies. The
extremely easy to use viewer gives a detailed yet clear view of the
model at a single glance.
Pipe penetrations in hull structures are taken care of by the hole
manager which ensures that pipe penetrations are checked and
approved by the hull designer before cutting, thereby preventing
design errors.
The built-in report generator creates reports and lists from the
3D structural model such as part lists, material lists, weight, weld and
bevel reports in Microsoft formats or presented on drawings.
Plate part geometries and profile production details are generated
automatically from the 3D model and are immediately ready for
nesting and cutting (including details such as markings, bevels, cut-
outs and profile end types).
The built in work breakdown manager offers several automatic
part and panel numbering methods to manage the assembly strategy
of parts, panels and assemblies that fit the working methods at the
building site. In addition to the semi-automatic creation of various
structural drawings the system is capable of automatically creating
various 2D and 3D assembly sketches to support steel workers at the
workshops.
All automatically generated documents, drawings and production
information are continuously linked with the 3D model and therefore
always consistent with the actual status of the 3D model. Changes in
the model are automatically reflected in the drawings and documents
to prevent expensive errors during production. CADMATIC has an
elaborate set of 2D drafting functions to finalise drawings without
the need for separate 2D drafting programs.

Piping & Outfitting

Reduce costs
at the heart of the vessel
Machinery layout, piping and outfitting design in CADMATIC is
simple with database-driven user friendly features. Specification-
driven routing ensures that the correct components, materials and
sizes are automatically selected.
The intelligent integration between P&ID’s and the 3D model
ensures that changes made in the model are updated in the
P&I diagrams. When components are defined in P&ID’s they are
automatically selected in modelling. The system automatically
produces annotated isometric pipeline and/or spool piece drawings
from the 3D model.
Online collision control saves time and avoids inconsistencies
in design. The user is alerted to any collisions while investigating
case-based collisions. Several automatic routing methods and Engine room model of a cruise liner
other navigational commands are available to create the optimal
routing with ease. All necessary manufacturing information can be
presented on drawings ready for workshop use. All kinds of material
takeoffs can be generated directly from the model and presented in
Microsoft or html formats.
CADMATIC’s library system is easy to use and has an intuitive
graphics user interface. The designer can navigate quickly through the
library and browse piping components and equipment. All objects in
the library are also visualized in 3D. The library system supports DIN,
ANSI and JIS standards.
In CADMATIC HVAC, Ducting and Cable trays are routed in the
same way as pipes. Modelling of primary and secondary piping-,
ducting- and cable tray supports is very easy and fast. Exact
production drawings of supports are created automatically. Actual engine room
CADMATIC efficiently produces all the required pipe isometric
and spool drawings and material take-offs from the 3D model. Large
drawings can be split into several sheets if needed. Pipe production
information can be sent to production workshops in electronic
format to control CNC pipe cutting and bending machines.
All automatically generated documents, drawings and
production information are linked with the 3D model. Changes
in the model are automatically reflected in the drawings and
documents to prevent expensive errors during production.
CADMATIC includes a powerful tool for electrical design that
creates a dynamic node point network automatically based on
cable trays. It includes possible air jumps between trays.
The user can import cables from a predefined Excel list or create
it manually. Thereafter cables are automatically routed using the Pipe penetrations and supports are handled in an easy way
shortest way and by taking the cable type, tray fill rate, air jumps
and other user-defined settings into account.
Electrical installation information including precut cable length
and layout info can be obtained in the shortest time possible. It
produces typical installation information such as layout drawings
with node point indications, hull structure background, equipment
and blocks or compartments crossed.

Production Information
& Documentation
Increases the level of prefabrication
and preoutfitting, simplifies
installation and assembly

CADMATIC’s accurate production information reduces costs and

shortens production times while minimising waste material and
scrap metal. In addition to drawings and part lists the software
outputs detailed and ready-to-use digital production information for
numerically controlled workshop devices such as cutting, bending
and welding machines.
This information can be defined and extracted from the 3D model
at the latest possible stage to include all the required modifications.
The high quality engineering information enables a high degree of
prefabrication and pre-outfitting of blocks.
CADMATIC production information output can be customized
to suit shipyards’ building methods. Significant efficiency gains are
achieved by aligning CADMATIC’s production documentation to the
build strategy of yards.
CADMATIC is capable of determining the complete structural
work breakdown of a block by automatically assigning numbers to
related assemblies, subassemblies, panels and parts. Once the work
breakdown structure is determined, 2D and 3D production drawings
or sketches are automatically generated according to the build
strategy.
The dynamic plate nesting user interface and automation
features enables fast programming for all cutting machines. It offers
fully automatic nesting and cutter path creation, including (variable)
bevel cutting for accurate and efficient cutting.
Curved shell plates are mathematically calculated and take
elongation into account. The geometry of the bending templates is
generated automatically and can be nested in CADMATIC and then
cut with a milling machine. Pin jigs tables or drawings are calculated
from the same 3D model.
For piping and outfitting CADMATIC outputs manufacturing
information such as cutting lists, surface treatment, welds, total
weight and centre of gravity and combines automatically created
isometric and spool drawings to logical work packages for pipe shop
use. Pipe bending data is calculated directly from the 3D model and
available for CNC pipe bending machines.
The direct link to numeric pipe production means that manual
production data processing is no longer needed. It not only saves
time and materials but also reduces production and pipe assembly Build strategy drawing
errors.
The HVAC Spool module takes the efficiency and ease of air duct
design to a completely new level. This has been achieved with the aid
of specification-driven routing, as well as automatically generated
HVAC Spools and Bills of Material (BOMs).
During routing predefined components are used, these can be
manufactured components or standard preordered ones, including
flanges, dampers etc. Then dimensioned prefabrication drawings are
automatically created for each part of the air duct, similar to pipe
isometrics drawing, for each phase of installation.
This significantly increases the efficiency and decreases the
amount of errors in design.
