Missler Software Launches TopSolid 7 CAD/CAM Software

By DE Editors

Missler Software has launched TopSolid 7 integrated CAD/CAM software. The CAM module of TopSolid 7 will be completed in 2010.

TopSolid 7 integrates computer-aided design and manufacturing, finite element analysis, product data management, and enterprise resource planning in a single software solution, which allows engineering and production departments to communicate and work together in a controlled and secure environment. This helps eliminate the risk of potential errors because design and machining data are compatible and are managed and monitored transparently.  

TopSolid 7 uses multicore technology so the virtual design of assemblies made up of several thousand parts is now possible with acceptable response times.  

TopSolid version 6 will continue to be developed and supported over the coming years. The migration and compatibility between the two generations of TopSolid is guaranteed, but TopSolid 7 does not yet offer the industry solutions or CAM capabilities of its predecessor.

TopSolid 7 highlights include:

• Partial loading of documents
• Improved and faster draft creation
• Native PDM
• Possibility to work with several collaborators on the same database
• Integrated messaging service
• Integrated simulation
• Interfaces with CAD solutions, including Parasolid,  AutoCAD, ACIS, IGES, Step, Catia v4, v5, Pro/E, UG, SW, SE, and Inventor
