Key Benefits of Using 3D Solid Modelers for Mechanical or Ocean Engineering Design
- Work from a single, common, 3D geometry database for design and all down
stream tasks
- Don't have to recreate the geometry multiple times
- Use the same geometry for: 3D visualization, 2D detail design &
drafting, 2D or 3D Finite Element Analysis, 3D NC
manufacturing, ad copy, and creating visualization diagrams for sales &
marketing literature and technical manuals
- Much easier and faster to make changes to a 3D solid model than to a
traditional 2D CAD representation
- Change is a fact of life for any design project, it's better to use
tools that are powerful enough to cope with these inevitable changes
3D Solid Model CAD/CAE/FEA Geometry Supported
Intermediate Data Format (IDF) supports PCB integration into 3D Solid Models
Many EDA tools used for electronic schematic capture and PCB design support
the IDF format for export to mechanical CAD tools
