| Sheet Metal Enhancements
SpaceClaim 2010 introduces a new sheet metal library and tab that includes an improved user interface for sheet metal and refined Sketch, Pull, and Move tools with behavior specific to sheet metal. With this new tab and UI, the workflow has been streamlined for creating concept sheet metal designs and converting imported 3D models into sheet metal parts optimized for manufacturing. | Watch SpaceClaim sheet metal features in action.

| Model Preparation
SpaceClaim 2010 now allows for fast power selection of bodies by volume, including a numerical volume selection filter, as well as turning solids into surface bodies by detaching all faces. These new functions help optimize models for analysis and speed the overall simulation-driven product development workflow. | Watch SpaceClaim model preparation features in action.

| Large Assemblies and Drawings SpaceClaim 2010 introduces new and enhanced methods to manage large assemblies and drawings. Users can now import any file type as a lightweight graphical representation, and load and work on only the part they choose, making it easier to work with large data sets from CAD. For customers planning large assemblies, a versatile, modular grid for automotive and aerospace application makes it easier to locate specific details on a part.
