I remember back in the day when we had to actually build mock-ups with telekinetic powers our hands to simulate mechanical motion. Fortunately, our fancy 3D CAD programs take away the need for cardboard scraps and paper cuts. The crew doing it up right on the SpaceClaim side is AR-CAD who has created SC-Motion, a new motion and dynamic simulation add-in for the format-friendly direct modeling application. This means no more long hours convincing your loved ones that you need five small goats and a box of styrofoam to simulate the motion of your triumphal entry into the grocery store. SC-Motion is available to try free for a limited beta release. Video and features after the jump.
My eyeball lids have peeled back over my head… by themselves. I think I feel pain, but I don’t know, because I’m in shock at the coolness I’m seeing.
There’s not enough explodin’ stuff in CAD these days. It’s all sketch this, extrude that. So, when I saw this, I just had to show it to you. Some of the 3D visualization out there just amaze me. But this video, blows my mind.
