Standard functions
|
|
 |
|
|
Hybrid modeling of wire frame, surface and solid |
|
|
|
CADCEUS is a hybrid modeler which enables coexistence of wire frame,
surface and solid models. It offers a flexible modeling environment
where there is no need for the user to care about if his odel is solid or surface.
Typical function is a set operation between solid and surface models. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Powerful functions of fillet, draft surface and composite surface offset |
|
|
|
CADCEUS supports global model change functions such as variety of filletting functions,
draft surface creation and variable offset of a composite surface, which are critically important
in manufacturing preparation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parametric modeling |
|
|
|
By parametric modeling, the user can promptly deal with design change
and examination of alternative ideas. Any type of shape model can be automatically
reconstructed reflecting parameter changes. Cancellation and change of previous
modeling operations can be performed with no restriction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic drawing |
|
|
|
Even if the solid modeling is introduced, drawing is still necessary.
CADCEUS has an automatic drawing function to create drawings from 3D shape model. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collaborative design function |
|
|
|
CADCEUS supports simultaneously working two or more engineers collaborative
design job by the effective use of parametric and related database function. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Variety of machining methods |
|
|
|
CADCEUS supports variety of machining methods such as scan, contour, boundary, residual, curve projection, along surface, guide and plunging machining. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Guarantee of collision free cutter path |
|
|
|
CADCEUS guarantees collision free cutter paths by automatically detecting collision between work piece and tool system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic connection of cutter paths |
|
|
|
NC data, generated by automatically connecting cutter paths, can be output by freely setting pertaining rule.
Guarantee of collision free movement is also applied to this cutter paths connection. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rich functions for cutter path editing |
|
|
|
Cutter paths which have been calculated can be freely edited according to various purposes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic machining integrated with die design packages |
|
|
|
Cutter paths can be automatically obtained according to machining attributes given by MoldDesign
or PressDesign package by the effective use of machining knowledge database. |
|
|
|
|
|
  |
|
|
|
CADCEUS supports not only standard based data exchange such as IGES and STEP but direct data exchange with various CAD systems such as CATIA, UG, Pro/E and I-DEAS. |
