MATES Outfitting

Outfitting 3D-CAD: Consistent Design from Initial Layout Design to Production Design

All Sorts of 3D Outfitting Models

All Sorts of 3D Outfitting Models

MATES provides special interface for outfitting layout design which is easy to create 3D outfitting models such as pipe, cable way, instrument, pipe support member, etc.
MATES offers wide variety of changing functions, such as automatic change function for piping root on outfitting layout change.

Large Variety of Quality Checking Functions

Large Variety of Quality Checking Functions

MATES contributes to improve productivity with a large variety of quality checking functions. These functions have been developed with design know-how.

For example, interference checking function can find interference portions which is taken account of clearance.
In addition, there are checking function of processing consistency whether or not pipes can be manufactured before releasing piping spool drawings.

Highly Accurate Production Information

MATES contributes to save production design time and highly accurate constructions by high precision output of production information.

MATES can create installation drawing with automatically adding attribute data such as product number etc., dimension line, and inclined mark. In addition, MATES can decrease design time because necessary information on manufacturing pipe are output without any modifications.

Cooperation with MATES Hull
3D hull model that is created on MATES Hull can be used as background model of MATES outfitting model. Holes that are cut on hull for piercing pipes are created automatically and by transmitting holes information to MATES Hull, MATES can prevent to error of cutting holes.

MATES Hull

Hull 3D-CAD: Consistent design from basic design to production design

3D Modeling as if Design 2D Hull Plan

3D-CAD

3D models are created automatically by adding attribute data such as thickness, size of longitudinal to 2D figures, so it is possible to create 3D models without skills of operating 3D-CAD.
Furthermore, MATES saves design time by using copy function of similar transverse sections and a variety of simplified input functions.

Large Variety of Quality Checking Functions

Large Variety of Quality Checking Functions

MATES contributes to improve productivity with a large variety of quality checking functions. These functions have been developed with our know-how of ship design.

For example, checking function of design consistency, interference checking function hull and outfitting, checking function of water leaks in water-tight section, etc.

Highly Accurate Production Information

MATES's highly accurate production information offer highly accurate constructions by reducing frequency of reworking at construction yard.
Even unskilled designers of lofted drawing can provide highly accurate production information to production yard, if they use MATES.
MATES can output a wide variety of production information that are data for NC cutting machine, all sorts of bill of materials, draught marks, paint indicating data, weight information, welding length, etc.
