By Our Corporate Bureau | 23 Mar 2005
Geometric Software Solutions (Geometric), a leader in product lifecycle management (PLM) services and technologies, has launch of GeomCaliper for CATIA V5, an innovative tool for measuring and checking the wall thickness of CATIA V5 3D models. It is easy to use and can be accessed within a CATIA V5 session, providing immediate feedback to designers during the design process itself.
Among other applications, it will help engineers to quickly detect thin areas in plastic molded components that may result in warps, or thick sections in castings that may result in hot spots. This tool can be used and the generated results interpreted after minimal training.
GeomCaliper provides users with:
- Quick
and accurate thickness calculation
- 2D and
3D thickness values at specified sections
- Intuitive
graphical display of results
- Identification
and display of regions with thickness in a given range
- 'Dynamic'
and 'point click' display of thickness data
- Report
generation in XML/HTML format
- Printing support
Based on Dassault Systèmes Component Application Architecture (CAA V5), GeomCaliper leverages the CATIA V5 mechanical design configuration. CATIA V5 customers can benefit from its 3D-oriented productivity features such as advanced thickness map display and manipulation. The pre-release version of GeomCaliper for CATIA V5 supports CATIA V5 R12, R13, and R14.
Geometric will showcase the product at the COE 2005 Annual PLM Conference and Technifair being held on March 21-23, 2005 at Phoenix, Arizona. Geometric is a leader in providing cost-effective product lifecycle management (PLM) services and technologies to the global mechanical design, manufacturing, and industrial markets.
