ShipConstructor 2012 R2 released
ShipConstructor 2012 R2 has been developed to set a new standard for 3D modeling efficiency and the rapid creation of clear production documentation.
The latest version of the software also contains multiple enhancements to speed up the process of labeling production drawings, according to the company.
SSI said that customers of the ShipConstructor 2012 R2 subscription advantage pack will have the added benefit of a new feature, which allows the ability to automatically label to the edge of a part rather than piecemark. When combined with the other labeling improvements in this release, this change is said to dramatically reduce the time and effort required to create clear and concise production documentation.
ShipConstructor 2012 R2 also provides the ability to model electrical cable supports within space allocations. These cable supports are included in BOMs, interference checking and production output, which results in more accurate centre of gravity reporting (by assembly or for the entire vessel), improved material and production planning, and also helps prevent errors from making their way to production where they are more costly to resolve.
Additionally, the voluntary customer involvement program (CIP) offers ShipConstructor 2012 R2 users fully rolled out troubleshooting and analysis capabilities.
