The construction process may be divided up into three main phases: concept, design and detailing. Each of these phases requires specific tasks, which have to be solved so that their results can be used even in the subsequent processes.
The use of CAD has lead to an increase in efficiency
of at least the two last phases up to now. To
guarantee the use within all three phases a generally
conceived system is necessary.
SISCAD-P is especially designed for supporting all phases
of the construction process. In cooperation with the
construction and design departments of
STAEDTLER special
emphasis was laid on the graphical user interface and
the adherence of system wide practice-orientated concepts.
The main tasks of the individual phases are supported
with specially designed tools.
SISCAD-P is a parametric system which enables the user
to modify and to construct variants very efficiently.
Thus SISCAD-P is a CAD-system which covers all requirements
of the construction process.
