Nest
is tightly integrated into the central database providing features
to nest by assembly, stock, material, surface treatment, port/starboard,
like/mirror cut, and full remnant control. The ability to check
already nested parts for changes allows you to start nesting in
parallel to the structural modeling. Changed parts can be located
and re-nested any time. This is specifically helpful when late pipe
penetrations are made, cutting time to production. Nest can be complemented
by an automatic nesting module.
This is a list of features incorporated into the ShipConstructor
Nest module. This is not a comprehensive listing, if you have any
inquiries regarding additional features, please contact us. |

Nest
Collision Checking
Hard (actual collisions) and soft (too close together) checking
of all nested parts is done simply by selecting the function and
picking the nests to check. A convenient dialog lists all collisions
and zooms automatically to the selected collision, making correcting
them a snap.
Nesting
Tree Structure
The nesting dialog can be limited to the current unit in order
to allow nesting on a unit-by-unit basis.
|
Bridging
Bridging is the method of connecting parts to prevent them from
falling through the grid if they are small, or preventing the plate
from distorting due to heat or internal strain release. ShipConstructor
introduces SMART-BRIDGES to allow automatic re-nesting of changed
parts without the need to break or re-implement the bridge. |
Automatic
Nest - Optional
Nesting thousands of parts just got a lot faster and easier with
the optional AutomaticNest feature. Use the proven NestLib engine
from Geometric Software Solutions Inc. to achieve high plate utilization.
Simply
select the AutomaticNest option when inserting the parts into
the nest drawing, tell Structure what plates sizes to make available
and then Structure and AutomaticNest handle the rest quickly and
efficiently. After the automatic nesting is complete, all parts
are inserted into the Structure nest drawing, just as if it had
been done manually. Now use Structure's powerful manual nesting
tools to tweak the nest configuration for maximum efficiency.
|
ProfileNest
& PipeNest
ProfileNest and PipeNest perform linear nesting of profiles and
pipes onto available stock, including available and used stock control,
heat number tracking and full production reports. Nests can be marked
as issued and cut. Any item on such nests are now locked in the
product model.
