CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design
Detail heavy structural systems made up of assemblies of plates and
stiffening elements and provide features necessary to creating ship
hulls, offshore platforms or other large structural assemblies.

Product overview

CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2 (SDD)

is used to complete design of heavy
structures with realistic plating and stiffening
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 - Structure Preliminary Design 2
(SPL), CATIA - Ship Structure Detail Design 2
(SDD) delivers ship builders with an
end-to-end solution that covers the industrial
process from concept to manufacturing.

Provides Design block envelop definition
and management
Gives user dedicated features to manage
structural systems and connections
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.
Provides Design block envelop definition
and management... The user can define a
3D-grid from surfaces. It delimits overall hull
forms and Functional Design to work on Block
Boundaries. The user can create non-cubic
design block and split functional data on the
boundaries with a high degree of control and
flexibility. The product supports concurrent
engineering and project organisation to
promote overall project collaboration.
Gives user dedicated features to manage
structural systems and connections...
Users can use, define and manage such
shipbuilding-specific parts and elements as :
Plating (Deck, Bulkhead), Plating with free
edge (Web Frame), Stiffening, Stiffening on
free edge (Coaming), Beaming (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 customisable 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
