“It's crucial that our customers have top-quality 3D rendering of their device designs, and the ability to interactively modify and mesh their 3D solid models. By building our new Preprocessor on HOOPS and the 3D ACIS Modeler, we have been able to efficiently create a state-of-the-art product that will enable our customers to produce more accurate analyses and save considerable engineering time.”
