Technological documents for the project are prepared on the basis of project database and 3D model of the ship.
Module: Part – provides dimensional shaping of parts, interactive description of parts as per their sketches, including processing features (bevels, tolerances) for their manufacturing, various marking lines, textual information, etc., as well as shaping of profile parts, including bended ones, with automatic calculation of inverse lines and bending data.
Module: Nesting-Hull – is intended for nesting of material and generation of control programs for cutting metal with CNC machines. The module provides:
- Setting cutting parameters for plates;
- Making groups for joint nesting;
- Automatic and interactive preparation of charts for thermal and mechanical cutting, panel nesting;
- Interactive generation and correction of nesting charts for thermal and mechanical cutting, and for panel nesting (shares, butt joints, periodical arrangement, monitoring nesting ratio);
- Design and correction of plate cutting sequence (punch points and cuts direction, “bridges”, combined cuts, combining parts in one continuous contour, etc.);
- Automatic definition of marking path for web application lines;
- Generation of control programs for cutting and marking in necessary format and coding for CNC machines (Crystal, Granat, Ritm-M, Pella, Cometa, etc.);
- Issuing documents (registers of nesting charts, parts in nesting charts, metal consumption, process waste, bent part) in Excel format.
Module Technology-Hull provides automated designing of parts manufacturing process on the basis of their parameters and technological knowledge. The module allows to:
- Describe technological features of a part (technological parameters reference book);
- Describe procedures and flow charts;
- Fill out and test knowledge base on technological processes and procedures;
- Provide programmed calculation of procedures parameters and recording them to project database;
- Automatically generate part manufacturing procedure;

- Provide issuing output documents for item manufacturing procedure.
Module: Assembly-Hull provides automated designing of production processes for manufacturing assembly units on the base of their 3D models and databases Hull Structure and Hull Work Technology. The module allows to:
- Design manufacturing procedures for assembly units (unit, sub-section, section, block);
- Calculate labor input for technological procedures;
- Define material and labor resources for technological procedures;
- Estimate welding modes;
- Issue manufacturing drawings for assembly units.
Module: Pipes is intended for automated implementation pipes manufacturing technology as per analytic data without templates. The module provides the following:
- Keeping relational database on pipes for the project (tables of spacifications and geometry);
- Interface support of geometrical data from other CAD systems;
- Modeling of pipes bending and assembly with consideration to kinematic parameters of machines and elastic/plastic deformations;
- Documentation of textual and graphic results of program work;
- Support of reference databases (machinery, tools, materials and pipe joints);
- Generation of control programs for manufacturing pipes with CNC machines.
The module provides functioning of CNC pipe-bending machines and stands for pipes assembly.
Modules: Nesting-Pipes and Store perform nesting of pipe blanks by optimizing algorithm with automatic selection of blanks from the store and return of process waste.
Module Technology-Pipes is intended for assigning of planning and accounting units, labor input calculations, receiving of various reference information.
Module: Measurement – performs processing of results, exported from measuring systems. The module performs calculation or correction of insert pipes dimensions as well as of assembly size for regular pipes with welded flanges.
