Efficiency Sharing & Management of CAE Data for PLM
CEETRON Envision empowers users to create interactive post-processors, automated workflows using Python, and seamlessly share results across platforms, making it an ideal solution for SPDM systems.
CEETRON Envision also reduces data storage requirements by supporting the neutral VTFX file format. By retaining only the most relevant simulation results, such as temperature fields and particle animations, SPDM systems can visualize, store, and share important simulation insights without necessary data overhead.
Assembly Management and 3D Visualization for PLM
HOOPS Communicator provides numerous ways to navigate your data like loading from an assembly tree, bill of materials or by bounding volume. View massive assemblies and load them using the powerful streaming geometry server, rendering on a server and video streaming the session. Further interrogate your data using the built-in assembly explode and cutting plane tools.
Fueling Innovation in PLM: Eurostep and the HOOPS Web Platform
Eurostep, a leader in the PLM market introduces their ShareAspace application and explores the role of the HOOPS Web Platform in providing CAD data access and web-based engineering graphics to their end users for secure PLM collaboration and engineering business intelligence.
Publishing 3D Data to PDF, CAD Standards and HTML
Companies like Aras and SolidWorks are using HOOPS Publish to create powerful 3D PDF smart reports that include interactive 3D models, dynamic parts lists and tables. Enable visual collaboration in a web browser with the export to HTML feature. Interoperability is critical to PLM users, and HOOPS Publish enables your application to export to standards like JT and STEP AP 242 for downstream use and archival.
