Project Modules in SC bocad Offshore
Create peaks, cages, cross‑arms and main body structures.
Parametric Grid Setup: Define tower footprint, leg spacing and height increments with live previews.
Base‑Plate & Anchor Modeling: Automatically place and size base‐plates and anchor‐bolt patterns per project specs.
Composite Section Support: Mix angular, tubular or cold‑formed profiles within the same body segment.
Real‑Time Height Adjustment: Drag handles or enter values to instantly update overall tower height and segment ratios.
Add stud‑body and leg extensions for varied tower heights.
Variable Stub Lengths: Apply different stub‑body and leg‑extension lengths per corner or side.
Transition Elements: Insert tapered or stepped extension sections to smoothly bridge body segments.
Automated Member Re‑mapping: Re‑assign cross‑bracing and diagonal patterns when extensions change.
Stub‑Bolt Integration: Automatically add and dimension the bolted connection between extension and main body.
Generate transversal/longitudinal faces and hips on preset grids.
Custom View Templates: Save and re‑apply favorite face/plan layouts (e.g. front elevation, side elevation).
Automatic Dimensioning: Populate key dimensions (member lengths, angles, hole‑to‑hole distances) on each view.
Isometric Export: One‑click to generate shaded or wireframe isometric views for presentations or reports.
Layer‑Based Filtering: Show/hide elements (bolts, welds, accessories) per view with dedicated layers.
Star‑leg, double‑star legs; butt/lapped joints; user‑defined angle creation.
End‑Preparation Types: Choose from straight‑cut, chamfered or slotted ends for each profile.
Named Library Entries: Save custom templates with descriptive names for quick reuse.
Automatic Part Numbering: Assign and sequence part IDs based on template and project rules.
Multi‑Standard Support: Maintain separate template folders for different codes or client specifications.
Redundancy checks and tools for cut/back‑cut/flange‑cut and grinding.
Real‑Time Clash Alerts: Highlight conflicts as soon as profiles or connections overlap in 3D.
Severity Classification: Tag clashes by criticality (e.g. bolt interference vs. minor edge contact).
One‑Click Auto‑Resolution: Suggest and apply the appropriate cut/grind operation based on clash type.
Revision Tracking: Log each clash and its resolution method for audit and QA processes.
Cold/hot‑bend allowances, flange creation and automatic panel selection.
