Unlike feature-based CAD systems that force you to develop tools that fit with the history-based paradigm, SpaceClaim lets you work with your geometry however you want. NET, but anything you create can take advantage of SpaceClaim’s powerful direct modeling capabilities. Not only is the API versioned, thread-safe, and.

SpaceClaim’s free API provides the best platform for solid modeling application development of any mechanical CAD application. Have you ever wanted a special button in SpaceClaim that automated a common task, talked to other programs, or modified your model? Do you have in-house code that’s difficult to maintain? Have you ever wanted to add your own objects to a SpaceClaim design? Do you have special file formats you want to read and write? It’s never been easier than with the SpaceClaim API. If the tag is in the part name, the part visibility changes, and “Share” command runs then hides again.Imagine a CAD tool that can read parts from any CAD system, fixes dirty geometry, and won’t cost you a penny for training.In such cases, "MakeSharedPart" reduces the time spent for this process by running the "Share" command separately for the predefined parts.įirst, the user must add a tag in the name of parts which desired to be shared topology. Moreover, the shared parts may need to be updated again when any geometric operation is performed. In such a case, it is necessary to work on each shared part separately, and this is a very costly process. For example, there may be parts in the model that are geometrically related but require a special element such as a contact or joint between them. Thus, it is not necessary to define elements such as contacts or joints to define the relationship between the parts.ĬAD models used for analysis can be quite complex in terms of both the number of parts and the relationship of the parts to each other. With this command, the topology (face, edge, and vertex connections) is shared between touching or intersecting bodies so a conformal mesh where bodies meet is performed. Preprocessing is accelerated with commands specialized for this purpose. Spaceclaim direct modeler (SCDM) is a remarkably successful CAD program for preparing geometric models for simulation.
