bocad-PS integrates project processes from preliminary planning to erection. All modules such as nestings or delivery notes are based onto a unique object oriented data base (objectivity). This concept ensures the integrity and the uniqueness of all the information. Each item (project, assembly, physical part, transport means, bar, worker, ) inside bocad-PS possesses a Unique Identifier giving the possibility to associate any user defined information. bocad-PS is homogeneous to bocad-3D where all geometrical information is imported from (weldings, contour markings, assemblies, fastenings, Ņ). bocad-PS is composed of a basic module used in combination of a set of optional and independent modules allowing a full integration inside an already existing workshop management. >

The Basic ModuleӔ contains a set of functionalities allowing to accomplish common operations with bocad-PS . Among these functionalities are : - Project Management allowing to import data from CAD systems, NC-DSTV files, DXF, SPD, but also update existing projects (management of revisions), archiving and exporting. - Project Processing allowing to visualise graphically all parts of the project (phases, assemblies, single parts) (OpenGL, Cam Viewer, bmf_ Viewer) or alphanumerically via personalised table layout. - Manual Creation of projects (without geometrical data). - Standard Reporting allowing...

This module is based on the task definition and connection (which is part of the basic module of bocad-PS). The objective of this module is to define the whole fabrication process for each item. An item can be a single part, an assembly, a plate nesting or a bar nesting. A process can be the detailing, the optimisation, the cutting out, the drilling, the painting, the welding, the delivery on erection site, . The distribution has to take care of the characteristics and constraints of each item, but also and principally of the ones of the tasks. The distribution also takes care of the load of...

The purpose of this module is to optimize the plates on sheets to minimize the quantity of necessary sheets, but also the time needed to manufacture these plates. The plate nesting is directly connected to the stock module, but also works as a stand-alone module allowing to define its own shape of sheets. This module automatically includes the Fictitious Stock of the Stock Management. The Fictitious Stock will provide the basic set of available standard sheets, available from the market. The leftovers are stored back inside the stock, directly available for another nesting. The module allows...

The purpose of this module is to optimize the profiles and flat plates in bars to minimize the quantity of necessary bars, but also the time needed to manufacture these. The bar nesting is directly connected to the stock module, but also works as a stand-alone module allowing to define its own length of bars. This module automatically includes the Fictitious Stock of the Stock Management. The Fictitious Stock will provide the basic set of available standard length for profiles and flat plates, available from the market. The leftovers are stored back inside the stock, directly available for another...

The Post Processors convert the geometry of parts (manufacturings) into a language understandable by the NC machine. We can create a post processor for any machine you have inside your workshop. Like this you will save time and improve your productivity. The post processors generate also data in standard format such as DSTV or DXF. The part programs will be transferred to the machine itself via the network, a program of communication, an USB stick or simply printed on a working form. They also generate a working forms containing the information gathered during manufacturing: estimation of the...

The Delivery Notes are generated from assemblies stored inside a pre-defined erection phase, from a nested drawing or from the project. This can be done by an alphanumerical filter or a graphical selection. You can also compose your truck first and simply scan the content to generate the delivery notes. A database defining the means of transport allows you to manage the characteristics of the trucks and their availability. During the composition of the delivery notes the loading data is compared with the pre-defined dimensions of the trucks and their maximal weights. A document management allows...
