Getting stronger with Cadmatic
In October 2022, SEFT decided to enhance their ship design capabilities by selecting Cadmatic as an additional software solution for their new ship design projects. According to Business Development Director Cenker ÇOBAN, key reasons for the decision were Cadmatic’s advanced 3D modeling and simulation capabilities as well as its user friendliness.
“We chose Cadmatic as we saw that its advanced 3D modeling and simulation capabilities could significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our projects. The user-friendly interface also allows our teams to work quickly and effectively,” says Cenker.
He adds that the integrated solution offered by Cadmatic facilitates collaboration and data exchange between different engineering disciplines, ensuring smoother and more coordinated project progress.
“The specific advantages of Cadmatic include the ability to quickly model and manage design changes, a comprehensive library of parts and components, highly accurate analysis and simulation tools, and the capacity to integrate with other engineering software solutions. This improves the quality of our projects, reduces costs, and shortens delivery times.”
Cenker is appreciative of the support that local Cadmatic reseller Arti Engineering provided during the transition and training process.
“Arti Engineering was very attentive, and we learned a lot during the training sessions. They have also supported us during the implementation and use of the software.”
Challenging LNG carrier design project
SEFT are currently using Cadmatic in several projects, a notable example is the design and construction of a LNG Carrier Vessel.
The LNG carrier project is challenging due to the need to manage complex piping systems, integrating electrical systems, and accelerating the 3D modeling process.
“Cadmatic has helped us overcome these challenges with its advanced 3D modeling and simulation capabilities. The software’s user-friendly interface and extensive database have allowed our engineering team to work more efficiently and minimize errors during the design process of the LNG carrier,” says Cenker.
Integrated solution driving collaboration
The integrated Cadmatic solution is highly appreciated by SEFT employees as it has facilitated collaboration between their different engineering disciplines, for example, construction and outfitting departments.
The successful implementation and benefits gained have provided SEFT with the motivation to expand the use of Cadmatic.
“In the future, we plan to expand the use of Cadmatic even further. We aim to utilize it more intensively in our commercial and military projects as well as our powership projects,” Cenker outlines SEFT’s future plans.
