CADMATIC Hull
CADMATIC Hull brings basic and detailed hull design together in a single 3D environment, connecting the structural model with production documentation and data.
The software enables teams to design structures and plates, apply shared rules and standards, and automate repetitive tasks. Drawings, assembly plans and fabrication data are generated directly from the model, reducing manual steps and keeping information up to date throughout the project.
CADMATIC Hull supports hull structural design, from the initial definition through the preparation of workshop production data. It enables teams to model internal structures and plates, create views and drawings, manage changes and revisions, and produce the information required for cutting, bending, welding and assembly.
CADMATIC Hull is designed for shipyards, engineering companies, design offices and teams involved in the design and production of ship structures. Its multi-user environment allows several designers and disciplines to work on the same project while keeping the model coordinated and up to date.
- Shipbuilding
- Commercial vessels
- Passenger and cruise ships
- Naval vessels
- Special-purpose and research vessels
- Offshore structures
- Yachts and leisure craft
- Steel and aluminium ship structures
Benefits
Speed
Model reuse and automation reduce design time and accelerate the transition from structural modelling to production and manufacturing activities.
Automation
Production drawings, assembly plans and manufacturing data are generated directly from the 3D model, reducing repetitive and manual operations.
Accuracy
Shared rules and standards keep geometries, components and information consistent, reducing errors throughout every stage of the project.
Updates
Project changes are propagated to connected elements and documentation, ensuring that all related information remains accurate and up to date.
Collaboration
Hull and Outfitting teams share structures, penetrations, foundations and project data, improving coordination between the different design disciplines.
Production
The model generates drawings, assembly plans, NC files and complete data to support subsequent fabrication and assembly activities.
Control
Revisions and versions coordinate multiple users working on the same model, while keeping changes and responsibilities fully traceable.
Reliability
Continuity between the model and documentation reduces duplication, errors and inconsistencies, improving the overall quality of project information.
Optimization
Nesting tools improve plate utilization, reduce material waste and make the preparation of materials for production more efficient.
