2D to 3D with SpaceClaim
Wednesday, May 15th at 2:00pm EDT

It’s strange that 2D to 3D is still a problem for Manufacturing, Design, and even Analysis.  The fact is, tens of thousands are searching for a solution every month.  2D is easier, yet 3D is more powerful.  What’s been missing is a tool that is as easy as 2D, yet powerful enough to solve any 3D problem. Using SpaceClaim will result in 3-7x improvement in time-to-CAM.

Come see how SpaceClaim:

• Allows you to leverage existing 2D data

• Sketch and easily create 3D geometry

• Create linked drawing sheets to the 3D data

Painless CFD Creation with SpaceClaim
Thursday, May 30th at 2:00pm EDT

Fluid analysis is all about opposites.  They need to look at the fluid inside the pump, not the pump itself, or the air moving around the wing, not the wing itself.  Designers don’t provide the geometry needed to the analyst to get their job done.  Analysts need CAD for CAE where there are push button solutions to create the geometry they need. Using SpaceClaim will result in a 2-5x improvement in CAE model prep.

SpaceClaim helps CFD users:

• Prepare geometry for simulation twice as fast as before

• Reuse, not remodel CAD geometries for outer and inner fluid volumes

• Reduce iteration loops by not relying on the CAD team

Tired of Being Forced to be a CAD Expert?
Thursday, June 13th at 2:00pm EDT

Although important, designers rarely model for manufacturing.  This means that manufacturing engineers often need to modify designs in addition to creating their own fixtures.  This poses a problem because it’s difficult enough to modify someone else’s feature based model, let alone edit CATIA® in SolidWorks®, or NX® in Pro/E®.  SpaceClaim levels the playing field. Using SpaceClaim will result in a 3-10x time savings for fixture design.

Taking Control of your Own Geometry Problems for Meshing

In an ideal world, 3D geometry is created, that geometry is meshed, and then solved.  The process seems simple, yet analysts claim to spend 75% of their time fixing geometry instead of meshing and solving.  What’s missing is CAD built for CAE.  What’s missing is SpaceClaim.  Using SpaceClaim will result in a 3-7x time savings fixing and simplifying dirty CAD files.

Come see how SpaceClaim:

• Repairs geometry to create watertight solids

• Simplifies and defeatures unwanted geometry

• Splits and partitions models for meshing

How to Remove the CAD Interoperability Headache

There are many different 2D and 3D modeling systems out there, which means that manufacturing facilities need to be able to handle a variety of file formats.  Having multiple CAD packages to address these formats is very expensive and using them is complex and difficult, which further adds to the cost of ownership.   And what happens when what you get isn’t what you need for manufacturing?  In this webinar, we’ll show you how to remove the CAD interoperability headache with SpaceClaim, which can not only take in geometry from almost anywhere, but also gives you the tools to prepare it for manufacturing, quickly and easily.  In this webinar we’ll discuss how you can;

• Open and modify any CAD file; including iges and step,

• Enable non-CAD experts to edit geometry without weeks of training,

• Repair corrupt geometry,

• Optimize designs for manufacturing.

Reserve your seat today and discover how SpaceClaim can provide you a 2-5x improvement in time-to-CAM.

How to Develop Products Faster Using Concept Modeling and Simulation

Every company is trying to get the “right” engineering answers faster and we’ll show how early concept work can easily combine with simulation to deliver low-cost, high-impact product optimization without building a detailed CAD model or physical prototype.  We’ll demonstrate how SpaceClaim can improve your time-to-final design by 60% or more.  Specifically, this webinar will cover how to;

•  take control over geometry for your analysis,

• streamline the evaluation, communication and visualization of 3D designs for non-CAD experts,

• gain flexibility for leveraging legacy designs, supplier parts and new concepts.

SpaceClaim Preps CATIA® data for CAE

SpaceClaim thrives in analysis organizations that have standardized on CATIA® as their primary CAD tool. SpaceClaim is a CAD geometry editor with a special focus on getting data ready for meshing, removing CAD bottlenecks and creating remarkable savings over conventional approaches.  Not only will we prep the CATIA® data sent to you, but also create midsurfaces, and internal volumes from it.

In this webinar, we’ll show you how SpaceClaim can:

• Prepare CATIA® models for simulation

• Detect and repair common issues with CAD geometry

• Remove unnecessary small features such as rounds and holes

• Automatically generate enclosing boundaries and extract volumes

• Search for and fix geometry that can cause problems with meshing codes

Still Doing Design Reviews in Paint or PowerPoint? How about 3D?

Clearly communicating in a design review, kaizen event, or customer presentation can be tricky.  You want to quickly review the status of a project, identify challenges, and suggest improvements.  But how do you perform design reviews in CAD?  With traditional history-based modelers, one wrong click and the meeting is over.  It’s impossible to make changes in real time.  Lightweight viewers are great at assembly mockup, but they don’t let you edit the actual geometry.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could make edits to the actual design, quickly, with changes automatically tracked for follow-up?

SpaceClaim’s 3D direct modeling provides a fast and easy way.  SpaceClaim eliminates the nasty constraints, eternal dependencies, and rebuild errors that can wreck a meeting.  It’s simple and fast user interface lets your ideas flow freely.  The entire team can see the changes on real geometry, removing confusion and preventing rework. 

Our webinar we will show how to:

• Open and edit designs from major CAD systems

• Quickly draw new ideas in 3D without getting bogged down in details

• Reuse existing designs to generate new concepts

• Track changes and delegate edits to be made in CAD

SpaceClaim and SimWise 4D: The Future of Simulation

Design Simulation Technologies (DST) and SpaceClaim are working together to provide the best motion analysis solution to the engineering community.  DST has developed an interface between SpaceClaim and SimWise 4D that transfers SpaceClaim geometry and assembly constraints in an associative manner to SimWise 4D.  SimWise 4D offers mainstream simulation capabilities in a package that is designed and priced to be used by regular engineers, not high end analysts.  Users of both tools will now be able to create, assemble, and analyze their models to answer real world questions like "Does my design work?" and "Will it break?" all without having to know the intricacies of the underlying technologies.

The SpaceClaim – SimWise 4D integration provides the user:

• The fastest geometry creation and assembly tools on the market

• FEA that works directly on the loads generated by the motion simulation

• Integration with Matlab/Simulink to allow control systems to be integrated with the motion simulation and co-simulated

• Rendering and keyframe animation capabilities for sophisticated simulation results review
