PACE 

Faster response times & improved layout quality

With intelligent automation features and real-time compliance checks, Pacelab Cabin speeds up the creation of validated cabin layouts. Change requests arising in discussions with customers can be implemented and evaluated on the fly, while a high degree of data commonality ensures a smooth handover to the engineering department.

Minimum training requirements

Pacelab Cabin's Windows-style user interface is instantly familiar and easy to grasp even for new users. A largely template-based approach makes cabin configuration tasks simple and intuitive and requires no CAD or special programming skills.

Maximized IT investments

Excellent connectivity allows customers to build on the value of their current infrastructure and to leverage previous CAD and IT investments.

The quality and timeliness of cabin studies, competitor analyses, what-if scenarios and customizations significantly benefit from the following key features and capabilities:

Parametric modeling and smart positioning

Pacelab Cabin comes with a wide selection of ready-to-use parametric models of structural elements and standard cabin items. All model libraries can be extended flexibly by importing CAD geometries or by creating custom cabin items with the integrated model editor.

Pacelab Cabin also provides intelligent positioning options ranging from simple placement aids (seat rails, installation zones) to fully automated routines capable of applying complex, class-specific optimization strategies.

Real-time layout verification

The cabin layout is continuously subject to compliance checks taking into account physical constraints (collision, interference), certification requirements (FAR/JAR) and corporate design policies. Violations are highlighted in the layout as they occur, while pin-point information about the violated rule and the items involved guides users toward a solution of the conflict.

Visualization & contractual documentation

Pacelab Cabin’s 2D and 3D views support cabin investigations, sales activities and the generation of contractual documents. The 2D view is fully configurable and easily adapted to corporate engineering standards. Top and side views, cross sections and seat sketches can be enhanced with automatic dimensions, annotations and auto-updating project information. Pacelab Cabin’s 3D module generates 3D previews for multiple purposes. To check out the new high-end 3D rendering capabilities of Pacelab Cabin 7, go to Sneak preview Pacelab Cabin 7.

Data exchange options

Well-defined interfaces and a wide range of supported exchange formats ensure Pacelab Cabin’s seamless integration in existing business environments. Output generated with Pacelab Cabin can be released to downstream departments for post-processing via statistical reports (e.g. MS Excel, HTML), exports of parametric and product structure (XML) and image formats (e.g. DXF, PNG, EPS, IV).
