which "cad" program is best used to design boats?

I have no interest in saying, my specific role or company information. I am here to know which software, nowadays, is better to use for vision cam/cad/cae files.
I would like to address my energies in learning rhino, since it seems to me the most used.
To give you advice, you need to know exactly what you want to do.
For example, at first you had to model, now only see.
as others have already said, it is different if you have to build a model or a cloth.
you just need to shape the aesthetics, or design the whole boat including structural calculations, industrialization etc...?

for example, azimut uses siemens nx
 
I certainly have my limits, you must recognize that you have not been able to give me an answer between, rhino, creo, or others. .
I'm not an expert on boating, but I still haven't figured out what kind of work you have to do. When you've made it clear, you'll see that someone expert will tell you. a tip: use more conciliating tones and everything will be better.

so you want me to recommend ("you want an answer") a software without specifying exactly what you do/do?

optimized carens for external companies? take care of the structural part and you also need a cad/cam and then command the plasma that cuts the plates, why do you also make production of portacontainer? you have to open 3d models of the structures to shape the interior furnishings, which then will make external artisans who want paper boards? Are you planning the planning? do all this, and do anything else?
Do you want a program to open the company's 3d projects in which you work for your lunch break? (in your signature I read "secretary" and "excel" as software)

As hunter says, stay calm and serene, give the necessary information and you will see that you will find your answers. no one asked you anything that is not indispensable to answer, and they asked you precisely because it is a forum of professionals and not quaquaraqqua.. .
 
Mah. .
I remain perplexed in the face of such requests.. .
one opens a company without knowing what software to use etc?
I could understand the request for advice between the x, y and z software but to start with autocad (software that I imho now is good for drawing some layouts of the greatest by now, certainly not to design surfaces like in the ship)
 
options are countless. . .
do initial design? Do you need a hyperrealistic model?
Do you have to do fem simulations, maybe even hydrodynamic analysis?
do you need to interface with suppliers etc?

however definitely not autocad...

design all the boat including structural calculations etc.
Thanks for the tip on the azimuth, it comes in handy.
 
I believe that in cases such as these, adapting to the applicant's receptivity, we must return to the initial question:

therefore tells him what is statistically the most used one; the most magnanimous could also indicate it for its region or province.

what is statistically the most used?
 
seem like a policeman, no offense, I came to this forum because it seems profession and reliable to take information about software similar to autocad, which are used in the business field. Now I don't understand why you want to know private information. are here to know which software, nowadays, is better to use to view cam/cad/cae files.
He's not a cop at all and asked you questions to help you! You're the one who needs it, so try to be a little humbler!
 
use autocad, although it has the modules to work in 3d I would say it does not take anywhere. autocad 2d is used for layouts and any small machinery projects in general...but this is done if you do not want to pass to a 3d. you could think about the next step, free and very vast to match freecad to autocad and then use also the appropriate modules for modeling boats though I do not see it for a company system but I see it for a hobbistic system.
if you want to have the possibility to model solids and surfaces, carpenters and furniture, to do fem/fea analysis you need to go on medium/high-end programs like solidworks and inventor/fusion 360.

the questions that you have asked is to try to give you advice aimed at your needs.

remember that the spirit of the forum is sharing and respect.

ask what work you have to do is ask for private information? The truth is that you have no dawn on how to design a boat, so much so that you have not even understood the question that we are asking you.

Look, I've been working in the boat since 2001, if you need a hand, I'm here, otherwise you're studying rhino and pray.
 
unstructured offices use rhino
the largest offices, nx, catia
middle offices solidworks, solidedge. some, but sporadic inventor
the construction boards are all in dwg format. Many use microstation, but in decline. autocad still masters. then other cad. but for the 2d, in the nautical one goes necessarily.
structural calculations of composite boats are not made with a cad programme. unless you have nx or catia and various calculation modules.
it seems to me a few ideas and very confused, and too much arrogance, the questions that placed you were not personal, to find out who knows what, but simply to understand your job target and to recommend the best program, which from your answers, is still not clear
 
The serious manufacturers do not usually use the usual mechanical cads, if I once had a civitavecchia I came across a pseudo manufacturer who used : rhino maya 3dsmax, I do not know then what a mess he will have pulled out
here are some right cad
 
I'm not an expert in nautical, but you'll still have to make boards with measurements as you do with mechanical parts. a good cad at this point I think it is necessary and autocad should act optimally. autocad I would use it only in the stage of placing drawings, because autocad in 3d does not allow you great things.
there will also be a phase of study of the model to be built, so it will serve a more specific program for the 3d that allows, possibly, also structural analysis as well as for the rationalization of the spaces.
the various programmes that have been placed before me seem very directed towards the nautical construction, so it would be to try someone.

because a 3d hull in theory could be built with many programs (also autocad if the hull is not too complicated) or programs like blender... In short, 3D programs in general, while programs like he had or cadmatic assist you more in the construction process because they go more on specific.
