New features in AutoDesSys’ solids and surface modeler include:
- New suite of design tools:
- Voronoi diagram tool – creates a formation of cells from a set of points
- Point Scatter, Surface Scatter and Volume Scatter tools – create formations by distributing copies of objects on or inside of other objects
- Parametric Map tool – allows 2D objects to be mapped onto a surface or face of another object
- Wrap tool – creates a new object from the 3D spatial boundary (or convex hull) of a set of objects or the 2D boundary of a planar set of points
- Delaunay Triangulation tool – creates robust triangulated meshes from a set of points on a surface or plane
- Other improvements:
- ACIS r25 and (ASAT r25 file format) support for improved smooth modeling
- Improved display performance
- Enhancements to the Bend Along Path tool and Align/Distribute tools
- Improved numeric input
- New High Quality smoothing export option
