Solutions beyond CAD/CAM & CAE

Visualisation and interaction with large CAD assemblies at good frame rates.

Assembly studies - to find optimum assembly and disassembly sequences, clearances between parts and real time interference checks.

Maintenance Studies - to train personnel on maintenance of components and systems.

Web publishing - allows one to publish all engineering data with its functionality on intranet, internet or extranet.
