Are your projects becoming more complex?

Feeling the pressure to remain competitive?

Growing your company, and your profitability, depends on your ability to innovate well and innovate quickly.
Your success is measured by how well – and how quickly – you can design and launch winning products. The design process includes many iterations – as ideas are pursued and discarded. Early recognition of good ideas is critical. However, eliminating unsuccessful ideas (before further time, money and resources are expended) can be just as important.

You recognize that transforming your innovation process means moving to 3D, but you can’t afford to lose time or precious data.

Automatic 3D components

Once the path is defined, a solid model of the system of tubes or pipes is established along the path segment, creating an accurate virtual mockup. Designers can specify attributes such as size, extents and end treatments via simple dialog boxes. For piping systems, 3D pipes, fittings and components are automatically positioned and correctly oriented upon population. All components are fully associative and update with the parts to which they are connected. When the assembly model is modified, pipes and tubes automatically adapt to design changes.
