Siemens PLM has released the latest version of D-Cubed 3D. This release includes update to Dimensional Constraint Manager, Hidden Line Manager, Collision Detection Manager and Assembly Engineering Manager. Overall enhancements include faster solving of bounded dimensions, support for conveyors and tolerant models as well as streamlined handling of silhouette curve situations.
In 3D’s Dimensional Constraint Manager, there is a new algorithm that improves reliability for bounded dimensions. Users can also remove a freedom from the model of a solved dimension. Multiple bounded dimensions are able to be added to the same geometry.
Updates to the silhouette curves functionality are included in Hidden Line Manager. This helps handle instances where complex silhouettes lie close to real edges in the view direction with better recognition and increased computation accuracy.
The Collision Detection Manager uses formulas to compute clearance. Version 49.0 has updated algorithms for reliability. Support has also been expanded for translated data and natively produced models.
New features in the Assembly Engineering Manager are improved functionalities for cylindrical conveyers, conveyor algorithms and contact solving.
