Software developments demonstrated at Euromold
ICEM will demonstrate its latest software developments for automotive vehicle body and interiors design and production tooling development at Euromold 04.
Viewer shares 3D models on the net
ICEM has developed new software for viewing 3D surface models and digital mock-up visualisations created with its ICEM Surf surface modelling, analysis and visualisation software suite.
In-context visualisation aids design reviews
ICEM is pioneering real-time styling and engineering management reviews with an innovative suite of "in-context visualisation" tools.
The company will be joined on its booth by Dassault Systemes, which will demonstrate Catia V5, and ATI Research Technologies, which is providing graphics cards for the PCs.
ICEM Shape Design represents the first fruits of the strategic software development and marketing agreement signed in March this year by ICEM and Dassault Systemes.
The new software has been developed on the Dassault Systemes CAA V5 software architecture to provide comprehensive surface modelling, surface quality analysis and design visualisation facilities that are fully integrated with the Catia V5 collaborative product development and manufacturing software suite.
Dassault Systemes will partner ICEM at Euromold to demonstrate Catia V5 and the seamless integration of ICEM Shape Design surface model data into the Catia V5 solid modelling environment.
Demonstrations of ICEM Surf 4.5, meanwhile, will feature the software's latest enhancements and added functions for use in the tooling development process, including the ability to globally deform surface models into their "spring-back compensated" form.
This functionality can be used in the press tool design process to morph the original surface model to the over-crowned tool face model to ensure that, after pressing, the part springs back to its designed position.
Of special interest to automotive design engineers, the demonstrations of ICEM Surf 4.5 will also include its new helix function, which automates and speeds the complex and time-consuming process of designing a vehicle's side drop-glass.
In addition to the previews of ICEM Shape Design and demonstrations of ICEM Surf and the company's stand-alone reverse engineering and design visualisation solutions, ICEM will also be presenting a number of technical papers in the Design and Engineering Forum and the VR Forum elsewhere on the Euromold 2005 show floor at various times throughout the show.
