Invictus CADwith Solaris Marine Try it live

Describe a marine part. Watch it drafted, built and weighed.

Invictus CAD reads a brief written in plain words, draws the GA, builds the parametric 3D model and states its mass with the basis. Then it carries the job: assemblies, enquiries, approvals, inspection photos and the logs.

The live demo runs on a demo account with fictional data. A build from your own brief takes 10 to 60 minutes.

Parts placed together, each in its own colour, and checked for clashes.

Assemblies are built from the same parametric parts. Pull them apart to see how they go together. The clash check runs on every change and says exactly what touches what.

It reads the enquiry, and shows where every value came from.

Paste an email or drop in a PDF. The brief comes out structured, each value tied to the line it came from. Anything the client did not say is asked for, never guessed.

Lifting points for the MV Corran Light refit

To: enquiries · Wed 14 Oct, 09:12 · Demo enquiry

  1. Hi,
  2. We are refitting the aft deck on MV Corran Light and need four new lifting points.
  3. Each one is a pad eye on a deck doubler, taking a 36 mm bow shackle.
  4. The deck plating is 25 mm, so please match the doubler to that.
  5. Pad eyes in S355, the doublers in 316 stainless.
  6. Could you send GA drawings and a mass for each assembly?
  7. Delivery to Aberdeen by week 48 if possible.
  8. Thanks, Jonah
