• Outfitting contains many specialist functions for designing and detailing the miscellaneous steel structures found in marine projects. A wide range of layout/arrangement and detail component drawings can be produced, together with accurate weight and MTO information.
• The Beams and Columns function defines and maintains a fully-connected nodal network of structural sections, including all joint and fitting details. A simple regular structure can be created in a single step. The nodal network, coupled with the ability to define loads in the model, supports integration with analysis software.
• Standard bracing configurations are available and can be customised as required.
• Curved, tapered and built-up beams are all available.
• The Panels and Plates function defines and maintains flat panels of any shape.
• The Walls and Floors function enables designers to define and maintain walls and floors of standard shapes.
• Fittings can be added to all types of beams, plates, walls, floors and so on, to apply items such as doors, windows, intelligent piping penetrations, stiffeners, lifting lugs and fire-proofing.
• The Access Platforms, Stairs and Ladders functions allows designers to create and manipulate access items. The model is built from a set of customer-definable parametric standards, which allows easy design modification and includes all details for each structure, such as handrails and kick plates.
• Intelligent parametric penetrations can be defined and connected to the structure and the penetrating item (for example, pipe or duct) so that alignment and other checks can be carried out.

Fully-detailed access equipment is easy to specify

• Structural modelling makes extensive use of parameterised catalogues for components such as section profiles, joints, and fittings. These catalogues can be added to by the user to suit particular project or other requirements.
• Profile catalogues cover the leading international and national profile standards, including angles, channels and I-beams.
• Joint catalogues contain standard types of joints including cleats, end plates and sniped end preparations. Joint definitions are parameterised so that, if a section related to a joint is resized, the joint can be resized automatically.
• Fitting catalogues contain a selection of parameterised structural and industrial fittings including lifting lugs, stiffeners, windows and doors.
• A range of interfacing options is available to link to specialist analysis software and specialist structural fabrication systems.
