CAE/Model Preparation
CAE production workflows are obstructed because engineers can't work directly on models that come to them from a variety of CAD systems. Translated models often provide nearly useless information, or the constraints embedded in feature-based programming systems complicate the model. This creates needless work as engineers simplify and prepare the model for CAE analysis.
SpaceClaim empowers CAE specialists to quickly create a simplified representation of a complex model, no matter where it came from. Its model-importing functionality lets you work directly on the model without having to learn the intricacies of a feature-based programming system. The software's data-exchange module fits in your existing CAE production workflow, allowing you to create and manipulate a 3D model regardless of how it was created.
With SpaceClaim, you can:
- Enhance model pre-processing productivity by removing unnecessary details such as small holes, rounds, and ribs before going into analysis
- Repair deficient models by filling gaps, replacing corrupted surfaces, and stitching back detached faces
- Handle post-analysis design efficiently by editing the model based on the results and reanalyzing it
- Communicate changes back to the design team with SpaceClaim’s integrated editing and mark-up tools.
