CAD-based FEA: A Marriage of Convenience - Desktop Engineering

One of SpaceClaim’s strong points is that beams (“children”) remain linked to the original solid (“parent”)—that is, if the geometry of the solid changes, then that of the truss/frame will change as well.

Kranunion Synergizes SpaceClaim with Simulation Tool ANSYS

Kranunion is successfully using the 3D direct modeler SpaceClaim in its
simulation departments. Ardelt, Kirow and Kocks are three allied crane
manufacturers that specialize in lifting and transporting heavy loads for the
rail, port, shipbuilding and steel industries. The alliance uses SpaceClaim to
prepare SolidWorks data to conduct statics and stability analyses, redesign
CAD models and simplify cross-site data exchange.

SpaceClaim continues rapid growth in 2011 - GraphicSpeak

During 2011 SpaceClaim announced new customers Ford, Bosch, Eaton, and Carl Zeiss. The Ford announcement is especially intriguing. Dr. Richard Riss is in charge of engineering software deployment for all of Ford, and he runs a tight ship. Insiders have told us the process from initial demonstration to pilot deployment to full approval was incredibly fast, a matter of weeks not months.

3D-Modellierung vom Kopf auf die Füße stellen

SpaceClaim wurde 2005 gegründet und ist einer der jüngsten Anbieter von Volumenmodellierung. Die Kernkompetenz des Unternehmens liegt in der einfachen Bedienung und der 3D-Direktmodellierung, einer Nische, die bislang von Anbietern wie CoCreate und IronCAD besetzt wurde. „Nische“ deshalb, weil der allergrößte Teil von parametrischen und Feature-basierenden CAD-Systemen beherrscht wurde. Dass sich dies zukünftig grundlegend ändern wird, davon ist Chris Randles, President und Chief Executive Officer von SpaceClaim, überzeugt. Im Gespräch mit der Zeitschrift Konstruktion+Engineering erläutert er, wo die größten Vorteile der Direktmodellierung liegen und warum ein Tool wie SpaceClaim in der Lage ist – nach einer langen Phase nur bescheidener Innovationen am CAD-Markt –, unser Verständnis von 3D-Modellierung vom Kopf auf die Füße zu stellen.

SpaceClaim 2011+ - Develop3D

SpaceClaim occupies an interesting position in the product development software market. At present, the system is gaining ground in various places and making inroads against established players. While the numbers of sales aren’t divulged, we’re certainly seeing more SpaceClaim users registering with DEVELOP3D — and that’s always a good indication. But why is this happening now, four years since its initial release? One answer is that the organisation has added functionality that’s transformed the system from being an interesting new technology to something that’s eminently usable.

Faster, Easier Metalwork with SpaceClaim - Desktop Engineering

The suffix plus in SpaceClaim 2011+, the latest upgrade from SpaceClaim Corp., may be a reference to the new sheet-metal functions added to the software. Many CAD users have discovered — like I did — that using direct modeling tools to create and edit sheet metals is a lot easier than using a classic parametric modeler. The ability to push, pull, and rotate sheet-metal plates and corners without worrying about their feature history gives you a lot more freedom in how you work. (You don’t, for example, need to worry about regeneration failure when you need to reposition a plate past the bend line you’ve defined previously.

SpaceClaim Stakes Manufacturing Claim - Design News

Building off the generalist focus of this year's earlier release, SpaceClaim has launched an upgrade to its 2011 3D direct modeling platform that makes a beeline for manufacturing production environments by packing in an array of new functions.

SpaceClaim can tout as its claim to fame raising the CAD world's consciousness to the benefits of direct modeling. Over the years, it has infiltrated a number of industry segments and smaller shops with its promise of a less complex but still powerful CAD environment.

CIMdata Publishes "Overcoming the Barriers Imposed by Geometry" - MCAD Cafe

According to Ken Versprille, Ph.D., CIMdata Executive Consultant, "To succeed in preparing geometry for finite element meshing, a product must be able to import the extensive range of CAD model formats commonly used in industry and offer an intuitive user interface that is easy to learn by non-CAD experts. SpaceClaim boasts a positive record in each case, as testified to by their customers."

RS components make 3D CAD models available in SpaceClaim format to enable direct modeling for faster design

Commenting for RD Components, Mark Cundle, technical marketing manager, said: "SpaceClaim is unique in its ability to involve many disciplines in the product design process. By doing so early in the design cycle, it eliminates a lot of time-consuming rework associated with traditional processes and enables organisations to tap into creative contributions from a variety of individuals from diverse disciplines. It's an extension of the RS promise to make it very easy for all contributors to the design process to find, design-in and buy electronic components."
