SD NAUTILUS® is a unique, simple, and low-cost platform primarily designed for the shipbuilding industry, but it can be used in other areas of the mechanical industry as well. It was developed as a supplement to the Rhinoceros v5 basic package especially valuable to naval architects, design offices and shipyards with the following features:
- SD NAUTILUS offers a wide pallet of additional tools for fast 3D modeling typical for shipbuilding
- Automatic positioning of structural elements with naming in a shipbuilding manner
- Automatic specs/part lists creation with weight and COG info
- Quick semi-automatic cross-section extraction, preparation for 2D drawing, and export to any Cad software package
- Quick extraction of structural elements for CNC cutting preparation
- Automatic profile extraction and preparation for 2D profile sketches
- Quickly and simple shell expansion
- Bending templates production
Main benefits of SD NAUTILUS®:
- Low-cost & simple application
- Inexpensive equipment (unlike competition software solutions, Rhinoceros is not high demanding for hardware requirements)
- Low-cost & easy personnel training
- Possibility of simultaneous work at multiple locations in the world. No participants number limitation at any level of project development*
- Compatibility with all other similar software packages (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, SC, or similar)
- Adaptability to the client’s demands and practice.
Disadvantages:
- Working with no database requires some manual operation, especially during alterations,
- Parametric connection is for now rationed due to the prospects of the Rhinoceros basic package.
SD NAUTILUS® is an excellent substitution for expensive software packages intended primarily for smaller design offices, shipyards, and workshops with a capacity of up to 10,000 t/year.
Compliance with the customer needs and the total cost of the application make SD NAUTILUS® outstandingly attractive.
