When you think of modeling, you may think of features used when creating 3D geometry… or you may think of your days as a elbow model for L.L. Bean. You sexy beast. Either way, there’s a process and a need for both. In the case of 3D modeling, the process is dependent on what you need and often, how fast you need it.
Siemens has a unique approach to direct modeling as it relates to the history of features in both Solid Edge and NX. How do these programs stand out? And even more important, how do they approach the intracacies of modeling with and without a history of features? Kris Kasprzak, Director of Marketing at Siemens UGS PLM Software, had some things to say when faced with such a daunting question.
Can you just smell the sizzle of fusion happening? I can. The MCAD atmosphere is beginning to get a little bit warmer and a tad amount crispier than last week. Why, you ask? Autodesk slipped their fresh slab of direct modeling tech back into the ovens to broil and today they have released it upon the masses.
There’s a wave of particularly large significance in the world of parametric, history-based modeling these warm summer days. A wave directed straight at your inability to manipulate 3D geometry any which way you want. Many a company has taken on the task of harnessing more ways to fiddle with your solids. Now, it’s Autdesk’s turn.
