- Easily visualize and edit using drag handles and on-the-fly editing
- Ability to compare/validate 3D data against 2D schematic logic
Rendering (powered by Luxion's Keyshot)
Produce photorealistic images for design review, marketing collateral, and product packaging:
- Real-time Raytracing powered by Luxion Keyshot
- Enhanced lighting with High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) support
- Standard library of over 200 predefined materials types
Design Exploration
Rapidly create and explore concepts and modeling alternatives:
- Explore design changes safely without risking original designs or committing to any change
- Simultaneously develop different ideas and evaluate all options before making decisions
- Eliminate manual data duplication and session clean-up for loading and reloading different versions
Intelligent Fastener
Automate fastener geometry creation and hardware assembly:
- Automate the creation of holes and assembly fasteners
- Access to standard libraries (ANSI, DIN, JIS)
Advanced Framework Design
Speed design and improve the accuracy of structural framework assemblies:
- Fully integrated modeling, framework design and analysis
- Comprehensive and customizable libraries of profiles, joints, connections and equipment
- Automated beam placement and creation of framework geometry (e.g., joints, connections)
Legacy Data Migration
Support legacy data migration and CAD consolidation efforts:
- Legacy Drawing Associator (LDA) – automatically connects parametric models to imported legacy data
- Relink model and drawing to provide associativity (update) and association when checked into Windchill PDMLink
- Annotation Convertor (AC) – Automatically convert drawing dimensions and notes to 3D annotations
Human Factors Design
Validate and optimize products for human interaction:
- Quickly insert and customize digital human models to prevent ergonomic mismatches and reduce prototype costs
- Easily manipulate manikins
- Visualize human reach and vision
