Your BIM solution
for offshore steel
PRECISION FOR EXTREME DEMANDS
bocad Offshore is the specialized solution for conceptual and detailed desing, manufacturing, and construction of complex offshore steel construction projects. The outstanding feature of the software is its ability to transfer 3D models directly into overview and detailed drawings. This significantly reduces revision times and ensures that all project documents are always up to date – because drawings and 3D models are one and the same.

The software is aimed at engineering teams, manufacturing companies, and EPC companies working in the field of drilling and production platforms, jackets, semi-submersibles, wind power infrastructure, and FPSO facilities.
With comprehensive modules for design planning, detailing, automated weld positioning, profile and pipe development, weight control, and offshore-specific workshop drawings, bocad Offshore offers a fully integrated design and manufacturing environment – from preliminary statics to robot-assisted pipe processing.
