Inventor plugin removes common guesswork
The GrafiCalc 3.0 next-generation analysis software plug-in for Autodesk Inventor is available now from Geomate for $995.
Extension adds more modelling flexibility
GrafiCalc 3.0 is a behaviour modelling extension to SolidWorks that allows users to explore multiple design options and "backsolve" exact geometry to satisfy stated design goals.
GrafiCalc Expert 2008 incorporates many facilities that help engineers to reduce costs while significantly improving product quality, including: enhanced function modelling tools; an enhanced geometry goalseek facility; mechanism simulation and analysis; transient data collection for Excel analysis; statistical tolerance analysis; reverse tolerance analysis; programmable geometry-synchronous calculators; and a bidirectional CAD and Excel interface.
GrafiCalc Expert 2008 is Vista compatible Windows standard self-contained application that can be used stand-alone and in conjunction with Excel as well as all popular CAD applications.
"By providing an up-front view of all aspects of the final product performance and producibility parameters, GrafiCalc Expert 2008 is expected to minimises the risks inherent to the prevailing 'build-test-fix' approach to product development", says Geomate founder Shyamal Roy.
"The net results are profitable products that will go to market in less time".
GrafiCalc Expert 2008 is available now with a single-user commercial licence priced at US $995.
A single-user educational/student licence is available for US $95.
