SOLUTION PARTNERS


	ALGOR, Inc. makes design, analysis and simulation software that allows engineers to virtually test and predict real-world behavior of new and existing product designs. These tests help engineers speed up time to market and make better, safer products at a lower cost. ALGOR’s complete product line supports direct CAD/CAE data exchange of parts and assemblies from SpaceClaim for analysis within a single, easy-to-use FEA user interface. ALGOR's InCAD technology also provides full associativity with SpaceClaim - allowing you to make iterative design changes without needing to redefine FEA loads, constraints and other data. Click here to download ALGOR DesignCheck FEA software for a first-pass stress analysis to virtually test the behavior of SpaceClaim designs.



	ANSYS designs, develops, markets and globally supports engineering simulation solutions used to predict how product designs will behave in manufacturing and real-world environments. SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ supports integration with ANSYS® Gambit and ANSYS Workbench products. Both applications can be launched from within SpaceClaim, and the model automatically exported to the application for pre-processing and analysis. The combined solution enables analysts to simplify the master CAD modelfor faster pre-processing, and to optimize the design based on analysis results.


	Blue Ridge Numerics puts comprehensive fluid flow and heat transfer simulation upfront in the product development process, where it creates tremendous value for companies of all sizes. Blue Ridge Numerics provides CFdesign for SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ enabling models to be built or imported into SpaceClaim, optimized with CFdesign, then readily shared with designers working in their chosen CAD system.


	Bunkspeed is a leading global provider of visualization software and services for design, engineering, and marketing. The Company's advanced visualization technologies leverage digital engineering assets and contribute to enlightened decision-making in the digital design process. Its clients gain a cost effective way to deliver sales and marketing imagery, and realize significantly reduced product development costs. Bunkspeed’s customers include Nissan, Honda, Ford Motor Company, Volvo, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Pininfarina, BMW Designworks, Apple, Microsoft, Kohler, SmartDesign and IDEO. Bunkspeed has integrated HyperShot (1920 X 1080 resolution) into SpaceClaim Professional as an optional module from SpaceClaim.


	McNeel & Associates provides Rhinoceros, a free form 3D modeling tool. SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ provides 3D data exchange with Rhino, enabling product stylists to include 3D mechanical design elements in their designs and deliverables. The solution allows Rhino files to be opened directly in SpaceClaim, modified and returned to Rhino in native format.


	xPLM Solution develops integration solutions between industry leading CAD, PLM and ERP systems and provides deployment services to the PLM industry. xPLM Solution GmbH provides the SpaceClaim PLM Integration Module, a comprehensive integration platform providing a bi-directional link between SpaceClaim and leading PLM systems.
