FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE - CATIA V5-BASED
SOLUTION FOR FURNISHING DESIGN
The CENIT solution and support concept FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE for designing furniture and fittings is based on CATIA V5. FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE provides added value for industry sectors and companies whose products are defined by a proportion of high-quality furniture and fittings, such as the yachting industry, shipbuilding, motorhome makers as well as aircraft manufacturers.
This holistic solution allows the complete process chain for furniture and fittings design to be modeled, in other words from the first draft and manufacturing through to product modification.
Product Features / Benefits:
- MAAT Hydro+ operates directly on 3D ship surfaces thus facilitating direct access to hydrostatic analysis, without any 3D/2D conversion constraint.
- Through 3D surface/solid modeling, complex compartments and tanks can be defined; tunnels, holes and any topological singularity are directly and accurately taken into account from ship descriptors... asymmetric, non connex or even very complex models are processed as easily as simple ones.
- MAAT Hydro+‘s advanced new generation hydrostatic engine calculates the behavior of any kind of floating object in any condition
- Real time hydrostatic simulation and weight management provides optimum efficiency. This advanced management of ship floatability is combined with a real time management of solid/liquid loads. Compartment permeabilities, tank fillings, densities, permeabilities, etc. can be set as easily as the solid weights defining the loading condition.
- Any loading conditions can be memorized and restored in a mouse click whenever necessary.
- The weight curve is directly calculated on 3D structure model when available, and/or from a set of user defined masses. Moreover, longitudinal strength can also be calculated instantly when necessary.
- MAAT Hydro+ is also able to provide all the classical hydrostatic documents and retain them within the project file for any further use or print out.
- Ship balance analysis, hydrostatic or cross curves, tank capacity, longitudinal or transversal stability (intact or damaged with or without liquid effect)... can be calculated directly if necessary.
- Most of the classical stability criteria (IMO, SOLAS, MCA...) are available: growing complexity of new regulations, criterion definition as well as results layout are totally user redefinable thanks to MAAT Hydro+'s built in Hydrostatic Calculation Language interpreter.
- Real time hydrostatic calculation and results; simulation of boat behavior with a ‘virtual pool’.
- Automatic generation of hydrostatic and stability reports.
- Dedicated criteria editor maintains up-to-date stability criterion permanently
- CATIA adapter
Customer Benefits:
FUNCTIONAL FURNITURE creates native CATIA V5 data, which means important data can be used without restrictions within the CAD and PLM process chain:
- Analyses, e.g. in respect of weight and center of gravity
- Digital mock-up for the digital assembly
- Rendering for photos and video animations
- 2D drawings for manufacturing and assembly
- Automatic derivation of manufacturing information, for example cutting to size and nesting
- NC program creation and simulation
- Product data management for versioning and releases
