nPower Software releases Power SolidWorksToMax

The Premier Solution for SolidWorks Design Visualization

San Diego, March 20, 2007 - nPower Software (a division of IntegrityWare) announces native translation of SolidWorks files directly into Autodesk 3ds Max / Autodesk Viz with the release of Power SolidWorksToMax. Our popular Power Translators plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max has become the premier solution for visualizing, animating and rendering CAD models using the powerful Autodesk 3ds Max platform. Now nPower Software further facilitates the rendering of native SolidWorks models and assemblies through its new Power SolidWorksToMax translator. Power SolidWorksToMax greatly improves the work flow efficiency for design visualization; SolidWorks users no longer have to spend days or weeks translating their high quality surface and solids models into imprecise polygonal models or intermediate formats, and then struggling to generate high quality renderings. Now with Power SolidWorksToMax, SolidWorks users can import their high quality models directly into Autodesk 3ds Max / Autodesk Viz for high quality rendering, animation, etc. without intermediate formats, and without loss of precision. Our native SolidWorks translator leverages IntegrityWare's precise geometric representation to generate extraordinarily smooth, crack free renderings without polygonal artifacts. Power SolidWorksToMax opens a streamlined, direct portal to the advanced 3D modeling and rendering environment of Autodesk 3ds Max / Autodesk Viz.

Power SolidWorksToMax is the premiere solution for Design Visualization of native SolidWorks models.

Dealing with large data is very important, and Power SolidWorksToMax is designed to handle the large data sets typical of CAD models. Power SolidWorksToMax also contains all the necessary tools to cleanup, prepare and render SolidWorks models. No designer who uses both SolidWorks and 3ds Max / Autodesk Viz should be without this essential tool.

Power SolidWorksToMax contains the following features:

• Native translation of SolidWorks models / assemblies
• Import precise trimmed NURBS
• User control of tessellation for display / rendering
• High quality mesh generation
• Cleanup of imported data
• Optimized for large assemblies
• Intelligent snapping

Native Translation of SolidWorks Files

Now you can directly import native SolidWorks model and assembly files for optimum throughput. Maximize your rendering efficiency and quality using the native translation directly into the excellent 3ds Max rendering environment.

High Quality Mesh Generation

You want to produce the highest quality renderings possible. Power SolidsWorksToMax gives you the power with detailed control over the tessellation quality; he/she can control the level of detail, the maximum edge length, arc length, etc.

Cleanup Tools

Power SolidWorksToMax intelligently imports the CAD data, and will automatically sew disconnected surfaces that should be sewn together. It also includes tools for cleaning up imported data. You can sew together faces, flip face normals, trim and un-trim, project curves, apply materials to faces, and other editing options. You can trim surfaces by curve projections or surface intersections. One of the great things about Power SolidWorksToMax is that even when your SolidWorks data is not correct, you can use the powerful Power SolidWorksToMax editing tools to cleanup the models before rendering or animating.

Large Assemblies

Power SolidWorksToMax includes special memory management tools to effectively deal with the typical large CAD models and assemblies.

Snapping to Imported Data

Users can intelligently snap to imported NURBS surfaces and solids for editing and cleanup operations. You can snap to edges, faces, vertices, edge midpoint and end points, greatly facilitating associative construction techniques.
