CADDS 5 Structural Steel and Hull Design Option

CADDS 5 Structural Steel and Hull Design Option provides a broad range of capabilities to facilitate the detailed design and fabrication of steel structures. Powerful features include the ability to model and fabricate complex plates with curved and twisted stiffeners. These capabilities, coupled with associative relationships which drive automated updates, help you increase design productivity, especially in the shipbuilding and offshore industries.

Benefits

• Easily create complex structures from conceptual design through manufacturing to reduce total product development time
• Leverage specialized shipbuilding design and fabrication options including NC outputs and automated drawings reduce costs and accelerate production
• Reduce costs and speed your production processes using accurate interference detection which helps you resolve design conflicts early
• Create both linear and complex curved and twisted members
• Import mechanisms for external or legacy hull form definitions
• Save time by leveraging a library of standard and user definable end cuts, cut outs, collars and brackets
• Reduce errors and increase design speed with associative links between structural items which automatically updates the design when modifications are made
