July 7 2004 - Cimmetry Systems, the global leader in Visualization and Collaboration solutions for the A/E/C, Engineering, Manufacturing and Electronics markets, today announced that the upcoming AutoVue 18 includes digital mockup capabilities. With AutoVue 18, users get all the benefits of traditional MCAD/EDA Viewing and Collaboration tools with the power of digital mockup in one easy-to-use application. AutoVue 18 will be released this month.
Digital Mockup (DMU)
Virtual prototyping using AutoVue's Digital Mockup, delivers real engineering solutions from the safety of a virtual environment. With AutoVue's DMU tools, designers can simulate models and assemblies on-the-fly and project real-world manufacturability without the expense and time associated with conventional physical prototypes. Features include:
- The ability to combine MCAD parts and assemblies of different formats including: CATIA, Pro/E, UG, SolidWorks, Inventor, JT, Solid Edge and more...
- The ability to combine native mechanical and electronics files
- Precise part alignment by easily defining constraints
- Interference and clearance checking
- Save all mockup and state information
- 3D BOM (Bill of Materials)
- User-defined coordinate systems
"Cimmetry was first to market in providing the ability to view and collaborate on both native mechanical and electronics product data regardless of format from a single application," said Pam Petropoulos, Marketing Manager at Cimmetry Systems. "Now, with AutoVue 18, we break new ground by combining MCAD and ECAD designs into a comprehensive digital mockup, all the while retaining the embedded intelligence and attribute data of the original files."
AutoVue 18 adds support for many new formats. All new features and formats are available in both the desktop and client-server editions of AutoVue and integrate seamlessly with PLM, ERP, EDM or Document Management systems.
AutoVue allows users to view, markup and collaborate in real-time on over 450 native formats from a common user interface. Available in both Desktop or Client-Server Editions, the product allows users to access and provide feedback on critical product data, regardless of format, either locally or over a network/Internet. The AutoVue API is also available to OEM partners wishing to add visualization, markup, DMU and real-time collaboration capabilities to their products.
