Cadmatic
Version 5.2 includes many
detail level improvements as well as a few totally new design tools,
especially in the Plant Modeller module.
The most significant changes are the introduction of
specification-driven cable tray routing, online collision control,
the possibility to use laser-scanned point clouds, advanced 3D
reference model management and new rotating working views.
In
Version 5.2 cable trays are handled in a completely new way. The
software includes native support for cable trays that are modelled
with specification-driven design rules. It is much easier to control
design components and the trays model more realistically than in
previous versions. Online collision control is glued into pipe and
cable tray routing, bringing added efficiency and user friendliness.
Any collisions with steel plating or other objects are immediately
highlighted and the designer can immediately make the necessary
changes.
Laser scanning produces point clouds that have traditionally been
converted to 3D model primitives through manual modelling and
processed separately before being imported into Cadmatic. In Version
5.2 the point clouds can be imported directly into Cadmatic.
The Import Manager imports 3D reference models from Autocad and
other software in an intelligent way in V5.2. When changes are made
to a model and imported into Cadmatic, the Import Manager is able to
detect which geometries have been modified in the model and only the
necessary updates to the current model are done.
