Shell views

Views on the outside hull of the ship (shell) can be created in the Shell application. With the Shell View module you can produce the shell expansion drawings in four different views. The module draws the view according to the "Area" (box) of that part of the ship that you want to see. It includes all the seams and butts together with the existing inner construction of the hull which is connected with the ship's hull shape, such as decks, girders, frames, etc. The views that can be made are aft, side, top and special views.

After the view is generated from the 3D Product Model and presented on the screen, you can determine various kinds of information and add this as attributes to the view.

The module also offers several functions for dimensioning, positioning stiffener information and add 2D construction lines in case not all information is available yet. For more information, see 2D Construction.
