Description
The Hull Structure module is the core of the CADMATIC Hull system. It is used for 3D modelling of the entire hull structure from basic design up to detailed design and production engineering of hull blocks, assemblies, panels and parts.
- Extremely fast and easy to use compared to other CAD/CAE/CAM systems
- Hull structures are stored topologically making modifications quick and easy
- The intuitive user interface guides the hull designer with maximum assistance while creating structural components
- Rule-based engineering assists the engineer and avoids errors
- Includes powerful copy functions, parametric definition of yard standards and many automatic mechanisms
Hull Structure offers topology that supports and eases the designer’s work throughout the entire design process. Hull Structure also offers a specific and dedicated 2D drafting functionality to create and maintain general drawings and plans, whilst the Hull Shape Import Manager module makes it possible to import surface based hull shape models directly into CADMATIC, based on different independent file formats. The add-on module Shell Development and the Interoperability modules are also part of the Hull Structure Design sys-tem, and are licensed separately.
CADMATIC Shell Plates Development is a unique module for developing shell plates extremely accurately. It is suitable for both cold forming and line heating processes. The module mathematically calculates double curved plates into a flat pattern, taking care of the required elongation/shrink caused by the double curvature. Due to the accurate computation shell plates can be developed without green/extra length. The Shell Plate development module is an add-on module to Hull Structure Design.
- A powerful module for developing shell plates easy and extremely accurately
- Calculates templates for bending, including marking lines
- Generates elongation lists, 2D sketches and geometry of each shell plate ready for nesting
- Generates shell view drawings including aft, side, top and spatial views
The engineer has the possibility to add and modify topological seams & butts and other hull lines to the shape database with various functions, which offers a flexible way of working. 2D shell views can be generated automatically including seams & butts with the existing hull structure in the 3D hull model such as decks, girders, frames, etc.
The Pin-Jigs module creates pin-jig information automatically from the 3D model for larger shell plate panels and calculates the optimized position of the pin-jig. The Pin-Jigs module is an extra add-on module to the Hull Structure module.
The CADMATIC Plate Nesting module is used to nest part geometries fully automatically and to optimize the use of raw plate materials to minimize material waste.
- Can be used in interactive mode, automatic nesting mode or a combination of the two modes
- Bridges, lead-in and lead-out, start holes, marking, text, bevels, net. weights, cutting lengths, rapid movement and time estimates are all included
- The module outputs nesting sketches, optimized NC code and nest reports for the workshop
- Includes ”smart” remnant handling and automatic grouping of parts
- Supports flame, plasma and laser cutting machines
The CADMATIC Plate Nesting module processes the CADMATIC Hull part geometries directly, but also accepts part geometries from other systems in standard DXF file format. The Plate Nesting module offers functionality for creating/modifying part geometries, remnant handling, automatic cutting path creation and generating the NC code for cutting machines.
Optional features for the CADMATIC Nesting module are Advanced Autonesting, Bevel-3: bevel cutting with a 3-torch flame cutting head, Bevel-1: bevel cutting with a single torch plasma head and Text Marking: marking text with inkjet and similar devices.
For production engineering a fully equipped set of work preparation tools is embedded in the CADMATIC Hull Structure module to ensure that the production department receives all the required information, such as part geometries, weld and bevel details, part lists, weights and CoG, profile lists, profile nesting, profile sketches etc. In addition it contains various build strategy features offering a wide range of possibilities to generate 2D and 3D work breakdown information and sketches.
- Production Information is directly derived from the 3D-model and therefore always up to date
- Enables users to define their own report layouts and logistic data fields required by the shipyard
- A build-in report generator enables creating of any kind of report by querying the 3D model for different production and logistic data
- Generates 3D work breakdown sketches and 2D+3D combination sketches and offers automated part numbering
- Visualize and simulate the build strategy of blocks, assemblies, subassemblies and panels
- Easy manipulation of the work breakdown structure by dragging and dropping parts in the tree structure
- Includes welding and bevel management functions, including reports
- Includes functions to control profile cutting robots of various suppliers
The Production Information tools streamline the information flow between, engineering, planning, work preparation and the workshop. This speeds up the process of work preparation significantly and thereby shortens the throughput of the ships’ assembly stages.

Diagram can be used independently or with the 3D Outfitting Design seat and can be interfaced with different calculation software packages.
The CADMATIC Outfitting Design module is an integrated, database-driven design module that provides powerful tools for 3D layout- piping-, HVAC-, electrical- and outfitting structural design of ship and offshore projects. It also automatically produces information for production, installation and materials’ ordering, such as layout, isos and spool drawings, duct spools, electrical installation information, support sketches and many others.

CADMATIC Laser Scan Modeller is an integrated solution for seamless use of data from laser scanners to 3D models and production data. It boosts the use of laser scanning technologies in design projects. You can utilize point clouds directly in the 3D design tool with the use of familiar design tools.
Benefit from viewing and examining an existing ship or offshore layout when sketching a new layout, use point clouds as references in measuring and fitting, while designing new items in detail or remodelling existing items. While remodelling you can directly use settings, the library and components of other CADMATIC modules for the correct attributes and materials.

- Fewer unknowns and assumptions regarding existing layout, reduction in re-work due to instant availability of accurate dimensions and spatial geometries
- Scope of changes can be estimated quickly
- Lack of as-built electronic documentation available from the owner/operator is no longer a need of concern
CADMATIC has been designed to be as open as possible to allow cooperation with different technology suppliers. We have developed an open database and implemented numerous interoperability functions.

CADMATIC offers an extremely robust yet resource-friendly project distribution system. It enables users to work simultaneously on the same project. This distribution system suits both large multinational operators and smaller companies and is called the CADMATIC Co-Designer.
Our Distribution design solution is based on a smart database-centric client server system that efficiently stores 3D ship models, documents and component libraries in master and replica databases hosted by a database server system. Distributing ship design work globally or adding new design teams to a project can accomplished with ease.
Ensuring the integrity and security of project data at all times receives the utmost priority in the CADMATIC Distributed Design system. In globally distributed projects data is updated at set intervals between remote design sites via an online network such as the internet, or by simply exchanging the file in an email attachment. Designers can rest assured that the automatic replication system takes care of data synchronization, thereby ensuring that no design hours are wasted due to incorrect information.
The CADMATIC Hull Viewer is a unique tool for fast 3D hull model inspection with fly trough, orbit and spinning visualization.
The user can query the model for structural details like material, thickness, weights, size, logistics etc. One-click “filter” buttons can be used to detect anomalies in hull structural thickness, material and orientation. Advanced color and lighting features are available to create photo realistic images of the ship, which can be stored in postscript, bmp or pdf format for publication purposes.
You need to register first, before you are forwarded to the download page! This provides us with Hull Viewer user information and allows us to send you Hull Viewer updates.
