Notilus Scantling — structural scantling for Rhinoceros
← All products

Structural scantlings,
verified inside Rhinoceros.

Check plates, stiffeners and girders against class rules — with every calculation linked to your 3D model, on one file.

— What's inside

Every step of the scantling check, in Rhino.

From vessel particulars to design pressures and pass/fail results — running natively inside Rhinoceros.

Project setup
01 · Setup

Project & particulars

Create a project, choose the rule set — DNV-RU-HSLC or ISO 12215 — and vessel type, and enter the main particulars. The design basis for every check, set once.

Design pressures
02 · Loads

Design pressures

Vessel data drives the design loads automatically — bottom, side and deck pressures derived straight from the class rules.

Plates stiffeners girders
03 · Modelling

Plates, stiffeners & girders

Define each element with its position, spacing and span. Assign a profile and see the required scantling instantly.

Live link to Rhino
04 · Integration

Live link to Rhino

Link every element to the real geometry. Dimensions are read straight from the model — change the model, and the check updates with it.

Instant pass fail
05 · Verification

Instant pass / fail

Recalculate the whole model in one click. Utilisation and status per element — anything that fails is flagged in red on the model.

Class report
06 · Output

Traceable class report

A complete, submission-ready report — every input, load and result documented and linked back to the model.

— Supported rules

Built on the rules your class society reads.

Every pressure, every minimum thickness, every section modulus in Notilus Scantling comes straight from a published rule set — referenced clause by clause in the output report.

DNV Rules for High Speed and Light Craft (DNV-RU-HSLC)

Design loads per Part 3 Chapter 1 — bottom slamming, sea pressures, deck and superstructure loads derived automatically from vessel particulars. Scantling verification of aluminium plates, stiffeners and girders per Part 3 Chapter 3.

ISO 12215-5 — Small craft hull construction

Full metal-hull scantling engine: design pressures and plating, stiffener and girder requirements for steel and aluminium craft, validated against independent HullScant reports.

ISO 12215-3 — Materials

Material property checks for hull construction metals, applied automatically to every assigned material.

More rule sets are in development — tell us which ones your projects need.

— How it fits

Scantling in the marine engineering pipeline.

  1. Vessel Project & rules

    Set vessel type, rule set (DNV-RU-HSLC, ISO 12215) and main particulars once — the design basis for every check.

  2. Loads Design pressures

    Class rule pressures derived automatically from vessel data — bottom, side and deck.

  3. Check Pass / fail per element

    Every plate, stiffener and girder checked in one click — failures flagged red on the model.

  4. Report Class submission report

    Full traceable output with every input and result — ready for class society submission.

— Get started

Try Notilus Scantling on your next project.

A 15-day evaluation license is issued by the engineering team. Tell us about the vessel and the plugins you'd like to try — we reply within one working day.

— Pairs well with

Notilus Scantling in the suite.

Notilus Scantling works within the same Rhinoceros environment as the rest of the suite — these plug-ins connect directly to the scantling workflow.
