SpaceClaim enables the
extended design and engineering teams work
concurrently, complete projects at a
fraction of the cost, and accelerate
time-to-market. Users can
edit 3D
designs based on their intentions,
regardless of which CAD system the model was
created in, and experiment freely with
design concepts, unrestricted by complex
parameters and restraints. SpaceClaim is
easy to learn and use, cost effective, and
very accurate, enabling
3D
conceptual design by everyone and
driving improved innovation and
collaboration.
SpaceClaim 2009 introduces many new
enhancements and features, which fall into
the following categories:

3D for
innovative engineering
SpaceClaim Engineer is
the world's fastest and most innovative 3D
direct modeler. It enables engineers to
easily create concepts and prepare 3D
designs for digital prototyping, analysis
and manufacturing. SpaceClaim Engineer is
especially suited for engineering
professionals who need a simulation-driven
3D engineering tool for:
SpaceClaim Engineer helps
engineers interact with CAD geometry in
exciting new ways, allowing them to conduct
analysis and optimization ahead of the
detailed design phase. Without becoming CAD
experts, engineers can make dramatic direct
edits to 3D models, conceptualise
on-the-fly, and communicate quickly and
easily with prototyping and manufacturing.
This means that engineering teams can finish
projects with ease, in a fraction of the
time.

Design the
way you think
SpacClaim Style brings
the freedom of direct solid modeling to
industrial design. It accelerates product
concept ideation by providing flexible tools
to create, edit and validate design
concepts. SpaceClaim Style lets design
professionals work collaboratively with
their clients and the entire development
team. It provides a rapid creation
environment to realise new ideas and convert
hand-drawn, 2D, and surface data to accurate
3D solid models. The benefits include faster
design ideation, easier design manipulation,
and reusable deliverables.

CAE production workflows
are obstructed because engineers are
unable to work directly on models that come to them from
a variety of CAD systems. Translated models often
provide nearly useless information, or the constraints
embedded in feature-based programming systems complicate
the model. This creates needless work as engineers
simplify and prepare the model for
CAE
analysis.
With SpaceClaim’s
simulation and analysis-driven design,
CAE specialists are empowered to quickly create a
simplified representation of a complex model, regardless
of its origin. Its model-importing functionality lets
users work directly on the model without having to learn
the intricacies of a feature-based programming
system. The software's data-exchange module fits in
existing CAE production workflows, allowing CAE
specialists to create and
manipulate a 3D
model effortlessly.
SpaceClaim's bi-directional
associativity with
ANSYS, a global
innovator of simulation and multiphysics software for
optimizing product development processes, provides a
combined solution that analysts can use to simplify
master CAD models independent of the original CAD system
for faster pre-processing and cycle times. The analyst
no longer must depend on the designer to produce
specialized models for analysis. Running and testing
more design iterations results in an improved
design, a higher-quality product, and a shorter time to
market.
