  • Faster production ensures high quality development
  • Reduced product complexity and lower overall product development costs
  • Usage of user defined features enables management of IP protection between OEM and supplier chain while preserving industrial usage within the company.

Capabilities

  • Interactive creation of intelligent feature templates (user defined features)
  • Interactive creation of intelligent part and assembly templates including geometry construction and design/engineering rules
  • Adaptable to changes in design environments or in internal specifications
  • Includes downstream documents (analysis, drawing or manufacturing) in part and assembly templates definition
  • Catalogs storage for easy access
  • Automatic sequence generation of user defined features or geometric elements
