Draughting - Fully integrated professional services

Cognity's experienced draughters produce engineering drawings to the highest standard, including machining drawings, layout sketches and fabrication drawings.

Cognity engineers are also all highly proficient at 3D CAD modelling – the primary tool used in our design work.

To accelerate the design process, we parameterise CAD geometry, allowing a two-way link between our CAD systems and finite element analysis (FEA) software. This allows designs to be shared seamlessly between CAD and analysis, enabling design changes to be updated instantly on transfer.

Draughting and 3D CAD are essential aspects of the design process, and often form part of a project’s final delivery package.

3D models for promotion and training

Cognity can also create 3D images of concepts or final products for use in your marketing, training manuals and presentations, and on your website.

You can commission CAD and draughting as a stand-alone service, or combined it with our mechanical design, structural design and FEA services.

Draughting can be combined with:

Mechanical Design

Explore designs in 3D to visualise concepts
Move assemblies and linkages to see designs in operation
Develop machining drawings, ready for manufacture
Create movie animations and rendered images for marketing and promotional literature

Advanced Analysis

Parameterise designs to quickly and easily change the analysis geometry
Split geometry for easier meshing and sub-modelling
Deliver as-analysed dimensioned drawings

Structural Design

Accurately calculate Material Take Off and Bill of Materials, grouped by section and material grades
Create layout, sea-fastening, vessel mobilisation and installation drawings
Develop detailed fabrication drawings, ready for manufacture

3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping

Quickly visualise designs as solid 3D parts and assemblies
Test function fit and finish of designs before machining / manufacture
Demonstrate complex design concepts with ease
Create accurate models for marketing, training and demonstration purposes
