enhancements sinceend of benchmark

Future STEP AP 242 evolution

13

• STEP support mainly depends on supplier Tech Soft 3D

• Tech Soft 3D will invest more in standard file formats, incl STEP AP 242

• Validation properties display and calculation has been added in the meantime

• For report generation 3DVSXML can be used.

• Kisters will add UI for required functionality, as demanded

• Kisters focus is visualization, high performance, usability, functionality

• Enhancements are immediatly available for all product flavors:

• Desktop

• ActiveX

• WebViewer

• KAS (batch)

• We recommend to implement LOTAR option to use light weight visualization format to gain maximumspeed
