Better yet would be to do it in NX, honestly. To get rid of the holes, you just delete a set of points and fill the holes.
Built on the cloud-based Dassault Systmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform, 3D Creator includes SOLIDWORKS xDesign and complements the parametric workflows of. What WOULD be a lot easier would be to do this in subd. 3D Creator (xDesign) is a browser-based 3D modeling solution that enables designers and engineers to create, review and evaluate 3D models through easy-to-use parametric modeling capabilities. SE also has this cool Redefine surface that helps you rebuild an imported surface with an editable ordered feature. Delete Surface, untrim (extend), blue surf, boundary. SE synchronous doesn't work on complex shapes (well, it does, but it doesn't do what you want it to do - you can use synchronous sketches in ordered features, which is a very cool combination, but doesn't help you in this situation). Most accurately you might call it BREP editing.ĭoing it in SE would be about the same, and you'd have to do it all in ordered mode. SW adds history-based features each time you do one of these edits, so it's not really direct edit. The example of the visor is not really direct edit. I guess some things are kernel related, but if SE has better direct editing tools (and SE does), I'm curious if some of the inbuilt tools can handle some of these challenges better. Would it be easier? I'm not just curious about that one but the other "Impossible" challenges, too.
Hey I'm curious how that may be handled in SE. You can search for the SW tool and the SE equivalent will pop up.īack to the point at hand about direct editing. And SE has this really nice cross search capability. Have you tried SE recently? There are a lot of advancements that SW is playing catch up on (mouse gestures have over double the amount of tools available, drawing view cropping is amazing compared to SW, you're a large asm guy, did you know that SE doesn't have the 1km cube limitation? I created a 5 mile extrude to test it.). If DS keeps up this attitude SE will displace SW. As I posted above, once I test drove SE, it really made me disappointed that DS didn't add that direct editing functionality to SW. Jeez everyone knows FeatureXpert is lacking, but rather than fix it in SW they add functionality to something else and make us pay to get it. Much better results and much more robust than the FeatureXpert from inside SW! If time permits, I will record a few new videos.įor example, a little gem I recently dug is the quick recognition and separation of fillets from imported geometry. The good news is that I started to push xDesign a bit more than before and I keep finding all kind of nice surprises. I am in the process of getting more information from SW R&D about the direction of developing it. The xDesign does not have Direct Editing functionality. It does not store any personal data.That video was made using the old Mechanical Conceptual.

These technologies are improving cad user experience. Augmented and Virtual Reality TechnologiesĪdvanced visualization technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality are also making their way in the CAD industry. Topology improvement feature in CAD software improves the existing design based on some errors or simulation results. Engineers only need to provide design inputs and constraints. Generative design software helps in creating a new part design from scratch. In other words, anytime you can switch from parametric to direct and vice-versa. But synchronous modeling is a combination of direct and parametric cad modeling. Most cad tools are on either direct modeling or parametric modeling. Engineers can access CAD software from anywhere using an internet-connected device. Therefore industries don’t need to spend money on high-end computing devices. Some advanced cad tools use cloud computing to run the cad software. Following latest technologies are ruling the CAD industry these days.
