Bump!

Looking for industry cooperatives. Shipbuilding construction and drafting are terrible.

Waiting for someone to complain to :(

I have 40 years shipbuilding experience and 22 years CATIA experience.  I assisted with the implementation of CATIA V4 at Electric Boat and CATIA V5 at Bath Iron Works.  I have worked for Dassault Systemes Services for 8 years, and I am the COE Shipbuilding Chairman.  How can I help you?  Gary McCue

Hi, Gary. 

We have a serious issues with Structure Detail Object Design workbench which is our main workbench for hull constructions. Tons of errors while creating beams, openings and so on. 

Moreover, when it comes to drawing generation, results are totally unpredictable. Some edges and plates simply disappear, others show even when they are not supposed to. We tried both generating with generative styles and without them.

As far as we know, DS doesn't plan any enhancements in SDD and drafting for V5. And we have a project to work on for he next 3 years...

I have done most of my structures work with SR1, but I know someone with considerable experience with SDD and I have sent him an email.  Hopefully, he can answer your questions. Gary
