SHIPWORKS
ShipWorks allows users to design and prepare to production 100% of:
ship structure, hull’s sheet metal plates, mechanical parts, tubing and
deck equipment.
SHIPWORKS
ShipWorks is based upon a new technology that merges both 2D and 3D,
allowing users to create both general and detail projects in 3D and,
afterwards create all the 2D drawings for manufacturing and for the
classification societies in a fast and easy way.
ShipWorks is an add-in for SolidWorks, the reference software in 3D
design. This partnership helps ship builders to find qualified designers
because SolidWorks is the most used 3D CAD software worldwide.
ShipWorks offers an interface for communication management and
project control easily customizable for each company.

Why 3D?
Because 3D give us an image so close to reality, it is
possible to detect potential problems before production
and consequently to spare several hours in
manufacturing. With 3D we can generate information that
will be used during production; from manufacturing to
the purchasing department and also as a tool to ensure
project quality.
Our expertise is based on more than 12 years experience
with SolidWorks and for the close collaboration with our
customers.
This has contributed to the creation of a easy to use tool
This has contributed to the creation of a easy to use tool
helping all ship builders to design and manufacture ships.

SPECIAL FEATURES
ShipWorks - Part’s Organization
Shipworks allows, with total freedom, to structure the components according to various
levels of prefabricated units, ignoring the positioning restrictions defined by Solidworks.
Through this structure, reports can be generated and fabrication 2D drawings can be
created of each, or several, prefabricated units defined in that structure.
Shipworks and SolidWorks Simulation - The solution of analysis for shipyards and ship designers
With the solution Shipworks and Solidworks Simulation is possible to do all the types of mechanical analysis to
blocks/components of the ship. For example:
Analysis of bIocks turn-over
Blocks torsion analysis

SPECIAL FEATURES
ShipWorks - Bulkhead Stiffeners
With a simple and easy to use interface, all the Bulkhead Stiffeners
can be placed automatically accordingly to the specifications of the
designer.
ShipWorks allows designers to place several Stiffeners per
Bulkhead in different Bulkheads, in the same command.
With the existent Shipworks functionalities, the time of the project
reduces drastically, therefore, increasing the designer's efficiency.
ShipWorks - Markups
ShipWorks allows you to create markups on every type of sheet metal plates (bulkhead, deck, hull, etc.)
On the 2D unfolded shape of the sheet metal plates, it's possible to visualize all the markups as well as the references of the
welded pieces. This function drastically reduces the preparation time of the sheet metal plates.

SPECIAL FEATURES
ShipWorks - Manufacturing Preparation
ShipWorks has a set of tools to help the creation and flattening of the hull's sheet metal plates. All kinds of sheet metal plates,
including the double curvature ones on the bulb, can be flattened with ShipWorks. Automatic creation of the documentation
required for the sheet metal plates’ production.

ShipWorks – Product Lifecycle Management
The Shipworks/Solidworks solution offers a data management plataform,
EPDM, that allow users to define their own production processes.
Using a graphic interface it’s possible to define information workflows and
access historical data which allows production and administrative processes
traceability.

SPECIAL FEATURES
ShipWorks - Photorealistic images
The ShipWorks/SolidWorks solution allows you to create photorealistic
images to help you to sell your projects.
There is no need to create a specific model, using a different tool.
With our unique solution you have the power to create, in minutes,
these kind of images based on the same 3D model you use for
manufacturing.

SPECIAL FEATURES
ShipWorks - Environment for management
ShipWorks offers an environment for management of the
communication and control of processes since the project to the
production and assembly, easily adaptable to each business.
Our experience is vouched by a path of many years in the
environment of SolidWorks and by the contribution of our
clients, having obtained a practical solution of great aid for the
ships production industry.
Our clients say...
«After have designed various ships using Shipworks, we have seen that this software adapts perfectly the virtues of SolidWorks
to the field of the design and shipbuilding.»
