AVEVA Bocad NCPowerful production engineering support for structural steelworkAVEVA Bocad NC™ enables the accurate generation and modification of numerical control data for steelwork fabrication, direct from the 3D CAD model.

It provides a comprehensive range of functions for manufacturing planning and control, from geometric functions such as the copying, mirroring or rotating of hole groups, to the automatic generation of parts lists for construction. Processing rules can be readily configured to ensure compliance with company or project standards.

AVEVA Bocad NC can be deployed as an efficient stand-alone application for use with third-party steelwork design solutions, but it delivers maximum business value when integrated with other AVEVA Bocad™ products in an AVEVA Plant™ or AVEVA Marine™ deployment.

High productivity

z AVEVA Bocad NC is easy to use and eliminates many sources of error, saving time and effort, and avoiding costly rework.

Reduced administration

z AVEVA Bocad NC’s comprehensive functions avoid the costs and administrative effort of maintaining multiple applications from different vendors. No additional software is required.

High project quality

z Direct generation and modification of CNC data, optimised for the specific machines used, ensures high-quality parts fabrication.

z Easy definition of features for structure assembly enables accurate on-site construction.

Business Benefits

AVEVA Bocad NC is one of AVEVA’s Design products, which create 3D models for detailed design and produce all associated deliverables

Drilling definition

z Standards-compliant AVEVA Bocad NC implements the industry-standard NC-DSTV interface for the digital control of all steel fabrication process machines.

z Comprehensive database AVEVA Bocad NC comes complete with a database of all standard steel profiles, saving time and eliminating errors.

z Graphical user interface Extensive use of intuitive graphical controls makes the software quick to learn and easy to use. Features such as drillings or cuts can be added easily and are immediately visible on the part.

z Production optimised AVEVA Bocad NC enables the intuitive generation and manipulation of a single or multiple batch selection of output data, optimised for the individual machines used to fabricate the parts, ensuring maximum accuracy of translation of the designer’s intent into finished steelwork. The software automatically selects the best available machine(s) for each individual part and optimises the output to suit.

Where a process such as a drilling is outside the range of the machine used, the software automatically redefines or splits the feature to bring it within range. Little or no manual intervention is necessary. Features which do not comply with configurable fabrication rules (for example, hole spacing too small) are automatically highlighted for correction before data generation is permitted.

The software can be used on a conventional desktop or laptop computer, on a ruggedised computer in the fabrication workshop, or integrated in the machine control unit itself, supporting the many ways in which production engineers work.
