Geometry Roadmap Snapshot
We are adding the best elements of ANSYS DesignModeler to ANSYS SpaceClaim
• Bi-directional associative CAD interfaces
• Optional history-based editing and replay of geometry operations
• Micro-scale and large scale model support
• Various smaller dedicated CAE features
In addition, we are adding new geometry features
• Model directly with faceted data (STL/Mesh) just like a CAD model
• Automated reconstruction of surfaces from mesh data
• Multi-threaded editing for improved performance
• Sub-D modeling for smooth surfacing
