WorkXplore is the ideal tool for directly displaying and evaluating 3D CAD files without the need for the original CAD application. The intuitive, easy- to-use interface enables novice and experienced users alike to explore any type of 2D/3D CAD file. High Speed Collaborative Viewer visualise, analyse & collaborate WorkXplore enables users to build Even non-expert CAD users can Analyse : virtual unified prototypes or 3D models quickly get to grips with the software’s WorkXplore comes with a full range of from files imported from various CAD measurement functions and obtain specialist analysis tools which can be applications. Users can work on model good results instantly by using the used to help make quotes, diagnostics, set up and improvements before software’s predefined selection modes assembly notes or for 3D models committing time and resources to (points, 2D entities, planes, surfaces, production preparation. creating a real prototype. etc). WorkXplore also offers a range of A wide range of CAD interfaces Measurements can be automatically analysis functions which are usually are available: Catia V5, Catia V4, included as measurement entities and only available with more costly CAD Unigraphics, Parasolid, Pro/E, can be anchored to characteristic solutions. As well as being extremely SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Cadds, IGES, points of the part. Entity labels fast and efficient (even on very large STEP, Unisurf, STL (binary and ASCII), automatically pivot to remain visible at models), the software’s functions are WorkNC geometry, VRML, WorkNC all times. very easy to use with results being toolpaths, ISO toolpaths, DXF, DWG, displayed in colour on the 3D model.

Setting up animations is achieved by simply initiating basic movements such as translation, rotation or following a guide curve. 02 WorkXplore 2016 - New Features and Improvements Re-engineered Animation Engine The animation engine has been improved to make animation sequences more realistic anmd the animation creation process much simpler. In this new version, animation creation is time-based and no longer according to the number of positions. Several movements for a part or a group of parts can be defined. This new process means that all movements within an assembly can be validated and, for example, allow collisions to be detected or be used in conjunction with procedural documentation to ensure correct assembly. Batch Mode File Conversion A new, independent tool for converting very large native or standard CAD files (or a large number of files) to the WorkXplore format. In previous versions, the application could not be used during the file conversion process. From now on, file processing is fully automated and is totally transparent. Users can continue working normally with the application. Requests for conversion can be triggered by the user or the tool itself if it has been programmed to process certain files at predetermined locations when they are modified or created. Entity Management Improvements All entities - both model and wireframe - which are present in the CAD file are shown in the assembly tree structure. A tree assembly search function based on entity names is now available and wildcard characters (* and ?) are also supported. Entity management is now much easier; they can be searched, grouped together, classified... Surface « patching » It may occure that certain part surfaces are missing after a file has been imported and this can be detrimental when analyzing a part. The new surface patch function allows this problem to be resolved. Users can now create surfaces by defining contour curves and if these are based on existing surface edges, patched surfaces can be made to be tangent to the existing surfaces. Internal curves can also be added to give a better definition to the form of the patched surfaces. Numerous features and improvements... The wide range of new features and improvements introduced in this new version offer greater flexibility to WorkXplore throughout the whole production process, including steps such as purchasing, quotations, design and marketing. - Generating bills of Materials, - Line thickness selection of dynamic sectioning, - Solidworks Import, - Link curves, - Importing Solid Works 2D...
