Intelligent General Arrangement Tool for Holistic Basic Design
• Showing you possibilities of how Cadmatic tools can boost the design process, by…
• … creating main construction while applying a high level of topology.
• … layout definition using 2D lines and Profile as property.
• … preliminary Weight Estimation.
• …placing preliminary outfitting elements
Creating main construction while applying a high level of topology
• Use of the Hiltop application to create an agile and flexible design.
• Changes to the main dimensions or any item in the model at any time
triggers the system to update the whole model accordingly.
• The parameters can be defined as fixed values, such as the main dimensions,
or mathematical formulas.
• Use of the grid manager to set up multiple grids.
Layout definition : using 2D lines and Profile as property.
• Designing in 2D is the fastest option when faced
with tight deadlines – let the system create the 3D
model!
• Newly created plates allow the plates to be updated
when the boundaries or the main dimensions are
modified.
• Automatically place stiffeners on each grid position
on the selected bulkheads.
• Automatically add or remove stiffeners if the
bulkhead size is changed.
Preliminary Weight Estimation
• Estimate the weight and center of
gravity (COG) of the ship based on
“reference” frames.
• Several reference frames can be
utilized concurrently for weight
estimation for a more accurate
estimation.
Placing preliminary outfitting elements
• Allows the model to be equipped
with components from libraries
• Outfitting and piping disciplines
can access the same model,
allowing adjustments or changes
according to machinery
requirements.
• The equipment is connected to the
view plane thus is linked to hull
structure
