Capabilities

General Capabilities

  • Full single-window integration between solid modeling and analysis
  • Direct use of CAD geometry for analysis
  • Direct application of analysis input data to CAD geometry 
  • 3D visualisation of analysis results on original CAD geometry
  • FeatureManager for geometry, analysis and result visualisation data
  • Customisable analysis tree
  • Dynamic editing of all geometric and analysis features
  • Powerful configuration management for easy “what if” design variations (geometrical and physical)
  • Comprehensive support for bi-directional CAD data exchange with most major CAD packages
  • Comprehensive, context-sensitive HTML-based help system and tutorials

CAD Interoperability

  • Native file translators to and from nearly all mechanical CAD products on the market today:
    • Pro/ENGINEER, IPT (Autodesk Inventor), Mechanical Desktop, Unigraphics, PAR (Solid Edge), CADKEY, IGES, STEP, Parasolid, SAT (ACIS), VDA-FS, VRML, STL, DWG, DXF, TIFF, JPG, Viewpoint, RealityWave, HSF (Hoops)
  • Supported standards: ANSI, DIN, ISO, GOSJIS, GB and BSI

Part Modeling

  • Feature based, fully associative, parameterized solid modeling
  • FeatureManager dynamic design tree (e.g. re-order, drag & drop, etc.)
  • Integrated sketching (dynamic referencing)
  • Extrudes, revolves, feature patterns, holes, etc.
  • Advanced 3D operations, e.g. lofting, sweeping, complex blending, filleting, etc.
  • Advanced shelling, midsurfaces
  • Multi-body support
  • Advanced surface modeling: lofts and sweeps with guide curves, fill-in holes, drag-handles for tangency control, etc.
  • Trimming, extending, filleting, and knitting surfaces
  • Translating, rotating, copying, and mirroring surfaces
  • Support for creating 3D models from existing 2D data, e.g. 2D-to-3D extrusion, etc.
  • Multiple design variations with Configuration Management, DesignTables

Assembly Modeling

  • Fully associative: referencing of other parts and maintaining relationships when creating new parts
  • Complete range of mating conditions, snap-to-fit SmartMates
  • Locating conflicting mate relationships with Mate Diagnostics
  • Dynamic assembly visualisation
  • Real-time previewing of components, parts
  • Easy designing and changing of parts and subassemblies from within an assembly
  • Mirrored components to create new parts and assemblies based on existing designs
  • Multiple assembly design variations with Configuration Management for easy “what if” design scenarios

Meshing

  • Global and local controls for part geometry with default sizing
  • Mesh control on arbitrary user defined regions
  • Free surface meshing: quads or triangles
  • Auto mesh, loads and constraints update with geometry changes
  • Mesher Status Window

  • Force on edges and vertices
  • Acceleration loads
  • Gravity (translational acceleration)
  • Enforced displacement
  • Enforced rotation (plates)
  • Temperature, default temperature and heat flux
  • Symmetric, antisymmetric, axisymmetric, cyclic symmetric boundary conditions
