ARMCAD 6: The Ontology of Armored Volumetrics

Hardware:

Minimal configuration is dictated by the requirements of the host CAD platform; if your computer can run AutoCAD or BricsCAD, it can run ArmCAD 6. Integration with Structural Analysis

• Materials: Specific steel grades and their physical properties.
• Shapes: Standard bending shapes (mandrel diameters, hook angles) and custom, user-defined shapes.
• Product Groups: Grouping elements that automate the placement of common configurations (e.g., a beam cage consisting of top/bottom bars and stirrups).

Where all other CAD tools model the vehicle , ARMCAD 6 models the crew . The “Wound Space” is a continuous 3D scalar field inside the armored volume representing the probability of injury given a penetration event. Users place human ergonomic manikins (with adjustable posture: seated, prone, kneeling) inside the hull. The software then: armcad 6

Its interface is deliberately uninviting—a dark grey canvas, minimal chrome, no tutorial hamster. Learning ARMCAD 6 means unlearning Euclidean idealism. You stop asking “Can I make it?” and start asking “What happens when it fails?” ARMCAD 6: The Ontology of Armored Volumetrics Hardware:

• Parametric armor plates: Define thickness, material (RHA, HHS, ceramic, UHMWPE), slope, and edge shaping.
• Multi-hit capability: Simulate multiple projectile impacts on the same plate.
• Overlap & gap management: Automatically resolve plate intersections and ensure ballistic joint integrity.

Automatic Specification & Recapitulation

: The software automatically generates reinforcement specifications and recapitulations—summaries of total quantities—based on the items in the drawing. Any changes made to the reinforcement geometry are instantly reflected in these reports. Where all other CAD tools model the vehicle
