Exa Adds Spatial ACIS, 3D InterOp to PowerDELTA for CAE
 BROOMFIELD,
CO, Oct 14, 2009 - Spatial Corp., a leading provider of 3D development
components for design, manufacturing and engineering applications, provides
some of the key core technologies for Exa Corporation’s newest product,
PowerDELTA. PowerDELTA streamlines and automates the simulation model
creation process by enabling multiple and time-consuming meshing tasks to be
performed in a single, easy-to-use, integrated application. PowerDELTA uses
Spatial’s 3D InterOp to import and heal native CAD models, reducing or
eliminating translation problems commonly encountered in the CAD to CAE
process. Having the 3D ACIS Modeler as its CAD engine, empowers users to
perform CAD operations on the imported geometry, greatly enhancing their
model preparation and meshing capabilities as well as improving response
times to design changes at any stage of the development process.
"PowerDELTA is a novel approach to merging the CAE meshing and geometry
modeling environments and Spatial’s 3D InterOp and ACIS components provide
critical portions of our product," stated Dr. Paul Stewart, Exa’s Director
of Product Management.
Exa selected ACIS and 3D InterOp for their breadth of capability and
ability to handle all native CAD formats, particularly CATIA V4 and V5 and
Pro/E. These two formats are widely used by Exa’s customers in the
automotive industry.
Spatial’s 3D development components enable Exa to address vehicle product
development throughout the entire design and engineering process by offering
a complete digital simulation solution, a trend that the industry as a whole
is embracing. PowerDELTA provides for import of a full bill of materials and
records all geometric operations with a process audit trail. ACIS enables
PowerDELTA to function like a solid modeling tool allowing any changes to be
rolled back through the process history tree. The result is a solution that
advances design and analysis collaboration and speeds time to market.
"Spatial is uniquely able to meet CAE developer’s needs because we offer
both a 3D modeler in ACIS, and CAD interoperability capabilities with 3D
InterOp. Applications, such as PowerDELTA, need more than simple import of a
CAD model," notes John Alpine, Spatial’s Vice President of Research and
Development. "Successful translation requires repairing and healing of the
model so that it is watertight and modifiable. This requires a deep
understanding of both the geometry kernel and CAD translators. That makes
Spatial the optimal choice for CAE applications."
