:::::English Description::::::
thinkiD DesignXpressions is a solution that already has an excellent reputation in the field of industrial design. However, the new version also includes a series of enhancements to its revolutionary Target Driven Design approach, allowing those designers that prefer to focus on the practicality of products to express their creativity more freely..
Main news of version 2007.
The innovative solution of think3 continue to be a point of reference for the technology in the sector of the industrial design. It is possible to take advantage of this new functionalities now:
Rake Sweep. This is the first result of the wider Touch and Design project which will make it possible to work with a virtual scraper tool. This command allows a designer to create High Quality surfaces by simulating the movement of a real tool. Unique in its field, it is dedicated to designers working with Class-A forms..
- Double Fillet. Significant improvements have been made to this command, which can fillet groups of surfaces and automatically propagate the fillet to tangential surfaces.
- Blendig. In addition to connecting complex series of surfaces, now also curves or existing surfaces can be selected and “snapped” correctly to the existing geometry, thus generating the best continuity result.
- Free–hand curves on surfaces (I-Interact add on). This new tool makes it possible to draw one or more curves rapidly and easily on selected surfaces or on the faces of solids. It will be welcomed in all those cases where it is necessary to “draw” shapes on existing forms.
- Global Shape Modeling. The Global Shape Modeling (GSM) and Zone Modeling commands now perform a point check for any form of incompatibility on restraints that need to be made to correspond, thus saving operator time and speeding up the modification process.
- Set back for Fillet. It is now possible to manipulate dynamically the starting points of fillets created on three or more edges that meet at a vertex. By entering a “Set Back” value it is possible to vary the distance between the shared vertex and the border of the fillet along each edge. With this option the designer can “model” the fillet so that it satisfies not only functional but also esthetic requirements.
- thinkcompensator. This solution, which revolutionizes the calculation of compensation due to the “spring-back effect” in sheet metal forming – and any deforming process caused by manufacturing – has an optimized calculation engine. It can manage meshes with different densities, allowing an automated loop to be effected with the FEA analysis solution.
