More ›› | To Homepage: www.intrinsys.co.uk Bridging the Gap between CAD and CAE“In this global market, Multi-CAD (Computer Aided Design) environments are becoming a standard. For CAE analysts doing finite element analysis, their world revolves around a CAD/CAE iterative cycle of model, mesh, analyze, and manually update models based on CAE results; then repeat. Integrated CAD and CAE applications with associative update, together with automatic meshing algorithms, have reduced the amount of time users have needed to perform these iterations. Even so, roadblocks still occur. Between receiving the CAD model from design engineering, and execution of a meshing algorithm, CAE analysts overwhelmingly report the need to do MODEL CLEAN UP.

API InterfaceAPI stands for application programming interface. 3D_Evolution OEM solutions are reader and a geometry kernel for easy integration in 3D software. B-RepBoundary Representation (b-rep or brep) is a display format of a surface model in which objects are specified through their limiting surface area. Bezier CurveA parametrically modelled curve in numerical mathematics, representing an important tool in CAD. Independently developed in 1960's by Pierre Bézier, Renault and Paul de Casteljau, Citroën BodyA body is a group of group of geometric elements that may have a topology associated with them. It consists of a shell, created by faces. The concept of the body is very similar to the B-Rep concept. Boundary CurvesA curve deliminating the useful parts of a surface. A surface and all its boundary curves make one boundary surface which is topologically linked to a face. Bounding Geometry3D_Evolution Simplifier generates a bounding geometry for 3D models through extraction of the internal geometry. This bounding geometry is useful for IP protection. Gegenüber sog. "wrapping" Verfahren erzeugt der Simplifier a qualitative first-class solid geometry. C.S.G.Constructive Solid Geometry is a method for modelling bodies used in 3D-Computer graphics and CAD programs, amongst others. CSG allows designers to generate complex surface areas and bodies, using boolean operators to combine objects CADThe term computer-aided construction or Computer Aided Design (CAD) refers to the creation of engineering data for mechanical, electrical or electronic products with the aid of special software, e.g in plant and mechanical engineering , automotive and aircraft industries, shipbuilding, dentistry (Cerec) and in architecture, in construction and fashion design. CAD HealingTerm for automatic correction of 3D models. 3D_Evolution possesses sophisticated healing functions for the elimination of overlaps and gaps. CAD InteroperabilityDescribes the capability of integrated, cross-system useage of CAD data in development process. CAD Migration Change of CAD systems with accompanying conversion of legacy data. The feature based conversion is the best procedure since the useful intelligence i.e. the construction history and construction elements of the models are sustained and can be directly processed in the target system. Look under 3D_Evolution Featurebased. CAD MigrationChange of CAD systems with accompanying conversion of legacy data.

Look under 3D_Evolution Featurebased. CAD ViewerViewer for CAD models, mostly with native interfaces for all prevalent CAD systems and standard interfaces such as STEP, IGES or VDA as well as functions for measuring and und analysis of 3D models. CAD.deWell known forum for all themes pertaining to CAD and the biggest German-speaking community in the Internet for CAD-CAM-CAE and EDM/PDM/PLM users and interested persons. CAEAbbreviation for "Computer Aided Engineering" for the computation of stability/solidity or fluid dynamic simulation e.g. of 3D models with computer programs. CAMComputer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) refers to the direct controlling of production plant as well as the supporting transport and storage systems. CAM is a basic component of the computer integrated production (Computer Integrated Manufacturing, CIM). CATIA"Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application". Leading CAD system of the automobil and aviation industry. Data formatsMost programs focus on a seperate data format. This complicates data exchange between the different CAD programs, the reason why approaches to standardizations are aspired. 3D_Evolution works with native interfaces, independently from quality of interfaces. We differentiate between CAD system-neutral and CAD system-specific data formats. DefeaturingElimination of "features" such as fillets, chamfers and scripting on 3D models for the optimization for networking and FEM computation. FacetA face described solely by a set of points that belong to one plane and that are joined together by the segments of a straight line. Feature based modelingA component is designed with the aid of features (=pre-defined shape elements, with technical definition) and not solely made up of geometric primitives like lines, faces, base bodies. With 3D Evolution Featurebased, the whole history including construction elements can be transferred. IP ProtectionIntellectual Property Protection. With the Simplifier, bounding geometry of 3D models can be generated. The internal geometry is deleted, leaving a light model void of inner life and corresponding details. JTOpenThe JTOpen Program of Siemens PLM encompasses solutions for the CAD data exchange in the PLM process for end users and software producers on the basis of the JT format and the JT libraries. 3D models as well as product informationen (PMI) are transferred. JT models can be saved in the different representation stages from triangled to B-Rep presentation. KnowHow ProtectionIntellectual Property Protection. Bounding geometry of 3D models can be generated with the Simplifier. The internal geometry is deleted, leaving a light model void of inner life and corresponding details. NURBS surfacesNon-Uniform Rational B-Splines are mathematically defined curves or surfaces, used in the field of computer graphics, as in CGI or CAD, to model any forms. The representation of the geometry information is effected piecewise by functionally defined geometry elements. Any technically producible or natural form can be represented with the aid of NURBS. PLMAbbreviation for "Product Lifecycle Management". PLM is an IT-system, with which all data, generated during development, production, storing and sales of product, are standardly stored, managed and accessed. Ideally, all domains and systems pertaining to the product access a common data basis: from planning PPS/ERP), construction (CAD), Calculation (CAE) and production (CAM) up to controlling, sales and service. SimplifierTool to simplify components and assemblies with just one mouse click. Automatic functions for generating bounding geometry even with complex components and big assemblies. STEP FormatStandard format of Prostep community. 3D_Evolution also supports STEP standard format Practically, however, native interfaces are preferable so as to minimize mistakes. 3D_Evolution possesses native interfaces for all leading CAD systems. |
