CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design
Detail heavy structural systems made up of assemblies of plates and
stiffeners elements and provide features to resolve the design intent to
prepare for the manufacturing build-up process.

Product overview

CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD)

is used to complete design of heavy
structures with realistic plate and stiffener
elements. It provides industry specific
features to create hull structure detailed parts.

The full integration of CATIA - Structure

Functional Design 2 (SFD) and CATIA - Ship
Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD) allows user to
retrieve Design block information, that was
previously defined and assessed, to perform
the detailed design of the structure. The
application provides productive tools and
environment in order to manage structural
systems and connections and to create
physical plates and shapes.
When used in a concurrent engineering with
CATIA - Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD)
and CATIA - Compartment & Access (CNA),
CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD)
delivers ship builders with an end-to-end
solution that covers the industrial design
process from concept to functional to detail.
In addition, and at the end of the design
phase, SDD provides piece parts generation
(bridge to SR1 Mechanical Product) for
manufacturing preparation.

Product Key Customers Benefits
Allows Structural Designer to generate
Structural parts from Design block and
existing functional specifications defined
with SFD... Designers can reuse Functional
Design specifications such as Material, Grade,
Thickness, Profile sections, Functional parts,
that were previously defined with CATIA -
Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD). This
approach results in significant productivity
gains. Tight integration within CATIA V5 also
allows the designer to reuse standard
productivity tools such as the sketcher,
catalog, knowledge, etc.
Gives user dedicated features to manage
structural systems and connections ...
Users can use, define and manage such
shipbuilding-specific parts and elements as :
Plates (Deck, Bulkhead), Stiffeners on free
edge (Web Frame), Stiffeners, Beams (Pillar,
Stanchion). Users work with intelligent 3D
objects to incorporate such information as
material description, weight and other
technological specifications important to
production and analysis.
Provides a collection of industry-specific
features to detail structural connections.
CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD)
is a ready-to-use application. As a turn-key
system, it includes a customizable library of
industry-standard ship parts and features to
speed users along with their task. Users can
use, define and manage such
shipbuilding-specific parts and features as :
Endcut (Profile extremity re-limitation), Slot
(Profile Cutout), Connection detail (Bracket,
Chock, Transition, Cover, Collar).
templates based on expert specifications. The
templates are compliant with industry skills
and allow the user to automate complex tasks
in a few clicks. The result is a significant
increase in design productivity and
comprehensive instantiation of corporate
standards and design practices.
Allows definition of project resources at
project level through the integration of
Object Dictionary in PRM (Project
Resources Management)... Users have direct
access to catalogs that are shared among all
structural applications and various project
resources. Because it is a centralized
repository, the PRM dictionary avoids
duplication of information and eliminates the
needs for users to search multiple catalogs.
Integration with CATIA V5 Drafting
application... CATIA - Ship Structure Detail
Design 2 (SDD) is natively integrated with
CATIA - Interactive Drafting 1 (ID1) and
CATIA - Generative Drafting 2 (GDR). This
tight integration allows user to perform
extensive drawing generation from
structure detailed design elements and
comprehensive 3D models. Drafting is
used for downstream purposes, such as
fabrication, installation, reporting and
maintenance.

Provides productive tools to incorporate

Shipyard rules and standards... Tight
integration with CATIA V5 knowledgeware
products enables the user to remain
compliant with standards throughout the
entire design concept process. In fact, the
designer can check classification and design
rules to avoid design inconsistencies while
enhancing collaboration. CATIA - Ship
Structure Detail Design 2 ( SDD) allows user to
reuse shipyard know-how by creating
