Spatial Ships 3D ACIS Modeler, 3D InterOp Suite R20
 BROOMFIELD,
CO, May 19, 2009 - Spatial Corp., a leading provider of 3D development
software components for engineering, design and manufacturing applications,
today announces availability of 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite Release
20 (R20). The new release advances industry-leading capabilities for
handling import and modification of data within 3D applications,
significantly improving end-user productivity and streamlining work-flows in
areas such as specialized design, analysis, manufacturing, and inspection.
R20 further promotes an application’s value in the product development
process by enabling high-quality data exchange and near immediate usage of
CAD models for application-specific needs.
As an example, 3D ACIS modeler enables applications that specialize in
ship design to import the complex geometry of curve and surface hull forms
and create full 3D models. R20 improves the conversion of imported hull data
to thin wall structures, resulting in increased end-user productivity and
accelerated project time-lines.
R20 is integrated in the Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF)
which accelerates 3D application development and improves time-to-market for
software providers and software-enabled machine manufacturers. Enhancements
are made to 3D Springback, an application component that facilitates a
one-step method for springback correction of 3D models within manufacturing
applications. R20 includes the following:
- Additional product manufacturing information (PMI) support
- Offset path generation for CMM applications
- Improved tolerant blend creation for mold and die applications
- Diagnostic information for better problem resolution
- UNICODE support for data import of local languages
Expanded 3D CAD Interoperability
Since the previously released version, the 3D InterOp Suite has added new
products, support for the latest CAD versions, and additional data exchange.
Advanced CAD Interoperability
- UNICODE support for local language data import
- Siemens NX PMI display information
- CATIA V5 non-semantic and assembly level PMI
- CATIA V5 R19 read and write
- Siemens NX 6, ProE Wildfire 4.0, SolidWorks 2009, Inventor 2009 read
- Parasolid V21read and write
R20 New functionality and Enhancements:
- Improved Boolean and Blending Operations for handling tolerant
geometry resulting from imported data
- Advancements to Local Operations for better handling of remove faces
in mold and die design applications
- Extended capability of sheet thickening operations for shipbuilding
applications
- Adaptive faceting extended to fringes along EDGE boundaries for
smooth rendering of high-curvature surfaces
- Edge offset functionality for calculation of measurement scan lines
in CMM applications
- Expansion of error propagation mechanism for ACIS routines
- 3D Springback enhancements for handling point set inputs originating
from analysis/simulation data
Multi-processing Option
Multi-threaded Entity Point Distance for CMM applications to improve
performance when evaluating large data sets
“Spatial’s development partners include many of the leading engineering
and manufacturing application providers. However, because they are not the
originating design system, they share a common need for superior handling of
imported CAD models. R20 provides significant improvements for these
customers and their end-users.” stated Ray Bagley, Spatial Director of
Product Planning and Management. “R20, combined with the recently introduced
RADF, provides 3D developers with a reliable and robust foundation for
building feature-rich applications in accelerated time-frames.”
Upcoming R20 Webinar
Spatial and Optimal Solutions, a Spatial development partner, will
provide a live demo of R20, RADF and SculptorTM on Thursday, May 28th, at
10:00am EDT (14:00 UTC). Please register
here.
