CATIA V5 Yacht Design & Development Capabilities:

 

INITIAL DESIGN

 

·         Styling Design – Imagine & Shape the main surfaces

·         Layout – Integrate and position the main equipment

·         Accommodation – Design the space reservations of accommodation quickly

·         Catalogues – Insert generic parametric objects (windows, stairs, balconies, tanks, …) and reuse embedded knowledge rules

·         Hydrostatics – Hydrostatic functions that are dedicated to integrated optimisation

·         Deliveries – Pictures, rendering, 3dxml, movies and drawings from Digital Mock-Up

 

GENERALDESIGN (Manage the Project)

 

·         Structure Basic Design – Global structure and quick modelling with a unique functional structure modeller and structure general drawings

·         Structure Detailed Design – Creation of all details on the elementary parts of structures (slots, brackets, …)

·         Composite Parts (GRP) Modelling – Integrated composite modelling from scantling, and specification to plies, unfolding and shop floor documentation

·         System Routing – Multidiscipline systems routing from quick and easy space reservation to physical parts placement

·         Digital Mock-UP Checking and Simulation – Permanent multidiscipline clash management and kinematics simulations

·         Project Management – Integrated PDM for lifecycle management (multi-cad, office documents, …) based on collaborative design processes

 

DETAILING AND MANUFACTURING

 

·         Structure Manufacturing Preparation – Shell plate unfolding, and contour extractions with markings – Alma integration

·         Piping Detailing and Extractions – Standard parts dress-up on systems space reservations, bill of material, reports and isometric generation

·         CNC Programming and Milling – Direct programming on geometry for 2, 3 and 5 axis milling

·         Wood Furniture’s Detailing – Reusing company rules for automatic wood parts assembly cut outs and mouldings integrations

·         Global Bill of Material Extraction – Supporting dataflow from Digital Mock-UP breakdown to procurement and final assembly – ERP connectors
