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
