• Place access objects such as doors, windows, stairs within the design. This includes closure objects such as doors, windows, and hatches, as well as ladder related objects such as stairs, vertical ladders and hand grabs. • Define Compartment used to organize downstream system design processes. Ship designers can use

Compartment and Access definitions to integrate their equipments and systems and project planning. • Provide Drawing and Report generation capabilities

Where the user can define tailored view styles for com- partments based on classification society, company or supplier standards. Users can also define and generate reports for compartment and access related objects.

Structural Design: Plates and Shapes

CATIA - Structure Design 1 (SRI) product is an appli- cation enabling to simply and quickly create linear, curved structures, and plates, using standard or user- defined sections. The product includes a parametric cat- alog through design tables and it generates user cus- tomizable Bills of Materials. It is natively integrated with other CATIA applications for completing the struc- tural design. The user will be able, for instance, to per- form extensive stress analysis on his structure elements and beams. CATIA - Structure Design 1 (SRI) is a high- ly productive application that can create straight, curved and twisted structure, planar and surface plates, using standard or user defined sections. All members are fully associative with a user interface optimized for the place- ment of structures and managing piece parts. Entire assemblies made of sub-parts can be instantiation through user-defined templates. The result is a break- through in productivity. CATIA's infrastructure sup- ports parametric catalogs through intelligent design tables. A wide variety of customizable Bills of Material (BOMs) are available. SRI is fully integrated with

CATIA Analysis products for downsteam structural analysis. Users benefit from having one single applica- tion capable of creating of multiple types of linear, curved and twisted structures and assemblies from stan- dard or user-defined sections. A single user interface provides simple-to-use workbench tools that can be quickly build up structural layouts by referencing exist- ing structures (faces, edges, or vertex) near by or hull, deck or compartment features. All structural compo- nents maintain full associativity. Shipbuilders will find assembly templates a useful way to captured best prac- tices on one project and reuse them on another. This method allows user to be extremely productive while being sure that they are compliant with their company standards and best practices.

CATIA Ship Structure Detail Design

CATIA Ship Structure Detail Design (SDD). new in

Release 12. extends structural design capabilities that begin with the conceptual design of the ship (hull form, general arrangement, zone and block definitions). SDD focuses on entire structural systems that are often made of composites or fabricated, assembled and erected from smaller piece parts. SDD offers highly automatic detail- ing functions for defining connections, penetrations, cutouts and spanning parts. Small assemblies can be defined using knowledgeware templates and then quick- ly instantiated thought the ship. Designers are able to assign project resources to various systems that aid later in scheduling, managing work flow, defining work pack- ages and tracking the materials required.

SDD is fully integrated with Structure Functional

Design (SFD) and able to retrieve design block informa- tion to perform the detailed design of the structure. SDD provides productive tools and an environment that man- ages structural systems and connections and creates physical plates and shapes.
