Notilus Scantling for Rhino 8 released

Notilus Software has released Notilus Scantling, a structural rule-check tool for naval architects and shipyards, delivered as a Rhino 8 plugin and a standalone desktop application.

Structural elements are not typed in; they are selected in the model. Position, panel sides, deadrise, plate thickness and profile dimensions are measured from the Rhino objects, and results are shown back on the geometry. Change the hull, re-read the model, and the check follows the boat.

Key features:

- Elements defined from Rhino geometry, one per selected object

- Design loads derived automatically from vessel particulars

- Plates, stiffeners, girders and pillars checked against as-built scantlings

- Utilisation colours and design pressures shown on the model

- Traceable report with the rule clause behind every requirement

- Supported rules: DNV-RU-HSLC Pt.3, RINA RES31, ISO 12215-5 (steel, aluminium and FRP) and ISO 11812

- Works directly with Notilus Composite: laminates and stiffeners are read from the same library, with no re-entry

Notilus Scantling works with Rhino 8 for Windows.

Getting to know Notilus Piping: Piping and HVAC design in Rhino

Notilus Piping is a 3D piping and HVAC plugin for Rhino 7 and 8, used by yards and design offices to model every system on board on the same model as the hull and structure.

Draw a pipeline directly or convert existing lines into pipes with elbows and segments, drop in valves and fittings, and let the bill of materials, weights and spool drawings follow the model as the design changes.

Key features

• Draw pipelines or convert lines and polylines into pipes
• HVAC ducts, cable trays, and hoses modeled with the same tools
• Valves, flanges, reducers,and fittings that snap to pipe size and spec
• Equipment library with exact dimensions and inlet/outlet positions, all information in one place
• Automatic penetrations against the surrounding structure
• Live bill of materials, pipe and fluid weight with center of gravity
• Spool drawings with dimensions and component lists

From mega yachts, workboats and ships to small boats plumbed with hoses, it covers fuel, ballast, bilge, urea, seawater, and HVAC systems.

Notilus Piping works with Rhino 7 and 8 for Windows. A 15-day evaluation license is available.
