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.

RINA RES31

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.
