Features
Sketch Block
Turn objects into sketch blocks and create new objects by inserting blocks and quickly changing their sizes.
Geometry Healing
Analyze and quickly repair abnormal conditions (e.g. open edges, gaps, duplicate faces, intersection loops) found in the geometry of imported files.
Layer Manager
Quickly sort and organize model features in 3D: easily arrange layers via the Category attribute; control and edit layers with the Filter and Select Object in Layer functions.
Customize Features
Create one feature with all features of some geometries so that you can easily reuse features and avoid repetitive work.
Intelligent Design Tools
Raster images can be embossed on the surface of your model nice and quick with the Emboss command. Morph and Winding can be used for objects, surfaces, and STL models.
3D BOM
The attribute information of all parts can be displayed in rows and columns of a 3D BOM, edited, and directly exported to 2D engineering drawings.
Flexible Sub-Assembly
By changing the degrees of freedom of the sub-assembly in the general assembly, you can continue changing the sub-assembly components with DOF in the general assembly.
Gear Generator
It can quickly generate spur gears, bevel gears and worms and wheels as parts or assemblies and customize parameters at all levels.
Automatic Annotation
Efficiently generate linear/diameter/radius/hole dimensions and so on with all the objects in a view or annotate the selected objects.
PMI Annotation
You can add annotations to the 3D model. All the PMI objects can be listed in the view manager and directly exported to 2D engineering drawings.
Sheet Metal Design
Complex sheet metal design can be completed with Bend, Loft, Louver, Punch, etc. The imported files can be converted into sheet metal parts for unfolding, bending, or design. The advanced FastBlank functions allow you to generate the unfolded effect.
Reverse Engineering
Prepare point cloud data for surface generation by deleting, trimming, dividing, simplifying the imported point cloud. A perfect mesh can be created from the processed point cloud and automatically converted into a NURBS surface.
Piping Design
By offering a variety of pipe routing methods, a library of standard parts, and the automatic addition of flanges, gaskets, and joints, it covers all aspects of piping design.
Harness Design
It can plan, modify, and manage harnesses quickly to help you complete harness design in less time.
Structural Design
It offers various standard and non-standard profile types. It can quick modify structure's joint types, add profile elements, and generate a structural cutting list.
Mold Design
It can cover the whole process of plastic mold design with data repair, product manufacturability analysis, rapid parting, standard mold base library, automatic drawing, electrode design, and more.
Abundant Simulation Analysis Types
It supports linear static analysis, flexural analysis, modal analysis, dynamics analysis, non-linear analysis, fatigue analysis, and heat transfer analysis to meet different requirements.
Abundant Mesh Types
It provides a variety of divisible geometric unit types including curves, triangles, and tetrahedrons to meet different needs of structural meshing.
Extensive Constraint and Load Types
It supports constraints including fixed constraints, rollers/sliders and fixed hinges, structural loads including force, pressure, torque, line load and gravity, and thermal loads including temperature, thermal power, heat flow, convection and heat radiation.
Extensive Library of Materials
You can access commonly-used materials conveniently and customize material properties according to your specific needs.
Powerful Post-processing Capabilities
Simulation results can be presented in various ways, such as result clouds, lists, and animations. You can also customize results, probe results and generate simulation result reports.
