The company is now on Catia V5 R18 with VPM Navigator and can produce the design of tool-specific dust collector hoods in, five to 10 minutes, processing 274 formulae and 470 parameters in each case.Įureka questioned Bernard Charlès, CEO of Dassault Systèmes, as to whether there was any security risk in the sort of totally collaborative design and development process for which the V6 products are optimised. Bernd Wörner of Homag Holzbearbetungssysteme described how twelve or the company’s 14 locations involved in their production of machines for furniture production are integrated through Enovia V5. Most users still seem to be on V5, which also allows collaborative, automated, parametric design. While the largest number of models on use 3dxml, there are also many produced using 3D studio and Sketchup, so it seems to be achieving its goal of becoming a networking and exchange site for the 3D design community in general.Īlong with these developments, Dassault is pressing ahead with its V6 web-based offerings, while maintaining support for V5, with the recent release of V5 R19, which has functionality enhancements synchronised with those available in the latest version of V6, V6R2009X. This, for those who don’t know, is Dassault’s version of what Siemens PLM call their ‘Synchronous Technology’, which allows the modification of any model from any CAD system without having to worry about the history of how it was produced. My priority now is to create Catia Live Shape and make it available online.” “One of my biggest customers is Electronic Arts, which uses Virtools and will probably soon use 3dvia Shape. “In a few months, I will have one million models on and you will be able to drive a car with an Xbox controller or a Sony Playstation 3,” claimed the company’s vice president research and development Dominique Florack at the recent European Catia Forum in Paris.
3DVIA SHAPE PLUS
The new tools are expansions of plus a new initiative, Design Studio, both of which are free at present. At the same time, it is seeking to advance its web-based PLM offerings, while continuing to enhance Catia both in its V6 and V5 embodiments. Regardless who’s first, this release of Shape and the features that come along with it don’t help bury that idea of 3D modeling moving to mobile.īy the way… SolidWorks World is coming up at the end of January and you hardly have to wonder if they’ll be showing something new.Dassault Systèmes is introducing increasingly sophisticated free tools and services to bring product concept designers and even games designers into its fold. However, with Autodesk clearly in the the app market with 5 different apps for the iPhone and iPad and a dawning web-based product offering, they could easily be the company to do it. With a focus from Dassault to shoot 3D into every aspect of our multi-dimensional life, it would make sense they would launch a mobile 3D development app. I’ve speculated that either 3DVIA Shape or Google’s SketchUp would be the first 3D Apps to make it onto a mobile device, like the iPad. With the amount of tablets slated to come out this year, there’s little doubt we’ll see some action on the CAD/product development side. But they’re also features which come in real handy on a touch screen mobile device.
