CAD/CAE - DESIGN AND ENGINEERING MODULES:
There are several special interfaces that are not mentioned in the list below. Please consult Cadmatic for further information

Nupas-Cadmatic Contek 2D
This NUPAS-CADMATIC module consists of xEagle 3D general purpose CAD/CAM software and the hull shape database to store and interpolate lines of the ship concerning hull and related constructions. The Contek 2D application is able ”to draw” 2D-construction drawings, etc. based on the 3D-hull shape.

Nupas-Cadmatic Plantek
With this module general drawings can be made based upon Contek 2D. By using a strong menu tablet and icons, general drawings are generated. Drawings like General Arrangement, Main Section, Safety Plan, Deck Layout, Manholes, Doors plan, Construction Plan, etc. can be produced.

Nupas-Cadmatic 3D Show Extended
With NUPAS-CADMATIC 3D Show Extended the user has the possibility to start engineering of the hull construction from the start. This is done by using
the NUPAS-CADMATIC 3D product model. During this early stage the information about the construction, like ships weight, centre of gravity is known in real time. The system guides the user with a maximum of assistance to build the model.

Nupas-Cadmatic Contek 3D
By using the above mentioned NUPAS-CADMATIC product model the engineer is able to do all the detailed engineering of the construction of the hull. With NUPAS-CADMATIC Contek 3D all details are engineered on the screen and automatically the product model takes care of the consequences of the modifications in one view having the effect on the other views. This means that drawings, product model
and production information are from the beginning on the same updated level.

Nupas-Cadmatic Diagram
NUPAS-CADMATIC Diagram is an integrated, database-driven design system for P&ID diagram design. Information flow from piping diagrams
to later design phases is assured by means of direct
database link (pipelines, systems, specifications).
As documents different piping and instrumentation diagrams, equipment lists, pipeline lists, valve lists, etc. are produced.

Nupas-Cadmatic Plant Modeller
NUPAS-CADMATIC Plant Modeller is an integrated, database-driven design module for 3D layout, piping and HVAC design of machinery areas. As documents layout drawings, piping drawings, material, equipment etc. lists, axonometric, perspective and shaded views are produced.

CAM - MANUFACTURING MODULES:


Nupas-Cadmatic Piece Part Listing
From the hull product model detailed part lists can be obtained. Information as part number, location, weight, needed production steps in the production shop to produce the parts, a.s.o. is available.
The data can also be exported the other material administration systems.

Nupas-Cadmatic Piece
Part Generation Geometry
With this Auto Part module, the plate-parts of the engineered hull construction of the ship are automatically generated: the geometry of the plate
parts for the flame cutting including all information for marking, cut-outs and so on. All the parts are ready for nesting. Profiles and stiffeners are generated from the model. Data such as length,
shape and end form-types are listed as production-data.
The profiles are automatically nested in the ordered profile bars. Detailed information as needed for bending (extra length is also included).

Nupas-Cadmatic SEAMS & BUTTS
With this module the NUPAS-CADMATIC 3D user has the possibility to add seams and butts into the hull shape database. The user projects the lines which are defined in one of the three views (top, aft, side view) onto the ship's shape. Besides the projection of the lines, the seams and butts can also be interpolated on the ship's hull shape database. This module is not graphically orientated; however, the results can be shown with the standard features inside the NUPAS-CADMATIC functionality. It is also possible to show the lines by making use of the NUPAS-CADMATIC module "Hullshape", to get a full 3D picture of the seams and butts.

Nupas-Cadmatic 3D Shell Expansion
With this module the user can produce the shell expansion drawings in the four different views. This software module draws the view according
to the "Area" (box) of that part of the ship that you want to see It includes all the seams and butts together with the existing inner construction of the hull which is connected with the ship's shape,
such as decks, girders, frames, and so on. The views that you can get are Aft, Side, Top, and Spacial views. After one of the views is presented on the screen you can determine various kind of information, such as plate information, bottom seam
of the plate, top seam, after butt, front butt, plate number, plate thickness, and several kinds of text information. The shell expansion view is stored and treated in the same flexible way as when inserting the views in a drawing by the other NUPAS-CADMATIC
Hull modules. In addition to generating the views, the seams and butts can also be added graphically in the view itself. Also special seams and butts can be made for a specific area inside a block section of the ship at any time.

Nupas-Cadmatic Shell Plates
After adding the seams and butts to the hull shape database, this module handles the development of the shell plates. In this program the double curved plates are calculated in a flat pattern. While the plate is being developed the program takes care of elongation caused by double curvature. Moreover all the marking lines of frames stringers are on the plate. Templates for bending are generated
by the system and automatically nested for production. Bending information in tabular form can be obtained.

Nupas-Cadmatic Penbed Data
Penbed data can be automatially extracted from the model for the larger panels.
This feature is not a standard feature and has to be modified according to the specific wishes and standards of the customer.

Nupas-Cadmatic Nesting
Interactive nesting software module to optimise the raw plate material. NUPAS-CADMATIC nesting is fully interactive and is able to handle information
for gas-, plasma- and laser cutting machines. Features as bridges, marking, text, contour optimisation, net weights, cutting length are all included.

Nupas-Cadmatic Nesting - Autonest feature
Additionally to the interactive nesting module, an optional automatic nesting feature is available. This unique feature can be used during the interactive
besting session. Maximum flexibility is achieved by using Autonest feature with combination
of interactive nesting actions. This gives the big advantage of combining specific interactive nesting of f.i. some large parts and by Autonest
to optimise the use of plate with medium and smaller parts. It is also possible to use Autonest without using the interactive actions.

Nupas-Cadmatic Pipe
NUPAS-CADMATIC Pipe is a database-driven module of the NUPAS-CADMATIC Piping system which efficiently produces pipe isometric drawings, spools, material take-offs, etc. information
for manufacturing and installation of piping. It reads input files directly from NUPAS-CADMATIC Plant Modeller module.

INTERFACES:

Hullshape
To import the hullshape from other systems (NAPA, SARC, 3D DXF, a.s.o.)

2D DXF Plantek
2D DXF interface is used to export data
from NUPAS-CADMATIC Plantek to other drafting systems.

2D DXF in/out Diagram/Plant Modeller
This interface reads into NUPAS-CADMATIC Diagram and Plant Modeller modules
AutoCAD compatible 2D DXF files to be used as reference drawings. It also generates
from NUPAS-CADMATIC Diagram and Plant Modeller modules AutoCAD
compatible intelligent 2D DXF files to be read into drafting programs
that have a 2D DXF read-in feature.

3D DXF in Plant Modeller
This interface reads into NUPAS-CADMATIC Plant Modeller module AutoCAD
compatible 3D DXF files, like from xEagle, to be used as true 3D geometric models
within Plant Modeller so that e.g. collision detection can be run.

3D DXF out Plant Modeller
This interface generates from NUPAS-CADMATIC Plant Modeller
module 3D DXF files to be read into e.g. AutoCAD.
