After the Conceptual design, CATIA - Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) provides a set of tools for structure designers who must complete their preliminary-draft before getting into the detailed design operations. CATIA - Structure Functional Design 2 (SFD) enriches CATIA Compartment & Access (CAN) supporting the initial structural definition of the interior of 3D volumes. For shipbuilders, these tools are used to develop the ships scantling, (i.e. the way the ship is stiffened). For large equipment designers, these tools are used to define the initial materials to build vessels, tanks or other interior elements. CATIA - Structures Functional Design 2 (SFD) functions define plate thickness, adding stiffeners and pillars or stanchions. Users can then calculate the strength of the structure, to get required approval of the basic design to extract early weight, material and labor estimates. SFD brings a strong bridge between Functional Design and Manufacturing Process by integrating the functional volumes definition and the planning breaks creations at an early stage of the Design. SFD is implementing all the Window Shortcuts ( Copy Paste, Cut , etc ..) on all the Structure Shipbuilding Classes, allowing unprecedented productivity and easy learning-curve. | |
