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 Style is ideally suited for:

• Conceptual engineering
• Conceptual analysis
• Model preparation
• Manufacturing engineering

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, conceptualize 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.

Features

The world’s fastest and most powerful direct modeler

• Pull, Move, Fill, and Combine tools enable hands-on 3D design
• Quickly create and iterate design concepts
• Create solid models without the complexity of traditional feature-based CAD  

Rich environment for engineering

• Create multi-discipline concept models for engineering consensus prior to detailed design
• Perform what-if studies by editing designs, regardless of how they were created
• Powerful capabilities to clean up imported geometry and simplify models for analysis
• Includes special tools to design and flatten sheet metal components

Fits into your existing design process

• Work with popular common formats ACIS, STEP, IGES, ECAD, Rhinoceros, CGR, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ, XAML, VRML, and 3D PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended)
• Optional modules available to read native CAD data
• Integrated with many leading CAE and CAM tools
• Create high-quality models for the detailed design team

	SpaceClaim brings accessible 3D to every engineer's desktop.

Sheet Metal

SpaceClaim Engineer includes special sheet metal capabilities for no extra charge. This feature enables automated bend relief, unfold, and ability to work simultaneously in 3D and flat pattern. Sheet metal properties wall thickness, bend radius and K-factor can be assigned. Imported thin-walled models are recognized as sheet metal parts and behave as native SpaceClaim models.

Benefits

SpaceClaim Engineer lets you create and change models more easily than ever before. In addition, you can directly reuse models from major CAD systems, and experience a low cost of ownership, allowing you to design better products and get them to market faster. With SpaceClaim Engineer, you benefit from a:

• Short learning curve
• Low entry price and total cost-of-ownership
• Fast return on investment

By using SpaceClaim, companies encourage up-front and real-time design evaluation, as well as more effective collaboration and communication.

SpaceClaim Engineer for Analysis and Simulation

SpaceClaim Engineer has direct integration with the leading engineering analysis products to ease the process of preparing and de-featuring CAD models in SpaceClaim for analysis with these solutions. Some of these providers include ANSYS, ALGOR, CFdesign by Blue Ridge Numerics. There are also many SpaceClaim customers who use COMSOL.
