Notilus Software has released Notilus Composite, a composite structure plugin for Rhino 8 built for naval architects and boatyards working on FRP vessels.
Notilus Composite keeps the laminate definition on the Rhino geometry itself. Assign a laminate to a surface, run a stiffener along a curve, and weight, centre of gravity, material take-off and workshop documentation all come from the same model — and update when the design changes.
Key features:
- Material and laminate library, built ply by ply, with cured thickness and areal weight per ISO 12215-5 Annex C
- Laminated top-hat and custom stiffeners with web and crown laminates
- Panel and stiffener weights with LCG, TCG and VCG
- Bill of materials by reinforcement and core, in m² and kg
- Colour-mapped laminate schedule, lamination callouts and 2D taping details
- Works directly with Notilus Scantling for ISO 12215-5 checks of the same laminates
Notilus Composite works with Rhino 8 for Windows. A 15-day evaluation licence is available.
