KISTERS and DESIGNRULE have announced the availability of the 3DViewStation integration into ENOVIA SmarTeam. This will give SmarTeam users the option to work with a new generation CAD viewer, providing blisteringly fast review of large 3D CAD data; supporting the latest releases of all major CAD systems incl. CATIA V5, Creo, NX, and SOLIDWORKS.
One user mode is to run 3DViewStation integrated inside the UI of SmarTeam, leveraging its high performance 3D-viewing capabilities, allowing users to view multi-GB-assemblies in seconds. The second user mode is to open the CAD data directly into the full 3DViewStation application offering access to the whole range of functions for advanced analysis, 3D compare and Digital MockUp (DMU). The integration finally supports an export of 3D CAD data to 3D-PDF with support of templates, which might include metadata and a company logo.
KISTERS 3DViewStation is known for current and mature CAD-importers for a broad range of formats including CATIA, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, JT, 3D-PDF and STEP plus an extensive set of functional tools to view, analyze and communicate 3D-data as i.e. STEP, JT or 3D-PDF. Functionality includes many selection, search and filtering possibilities, sectioning, dimensioning, transformation of parts, views creation, wall thickness, clash analysis and more.
The KISTERS 3DViewStation is developed by very closely following customer requirements; it is available as Desktop, ActiveX and HTML5 WebViewer product-versions. All product flavors are intended to be used together with a PLM-, ERP- or other management system providing all necessary APIs. For cloud, portal and web-solutions there is a HTML5-based WebViewer solution available, which does not require any client installation at all. All file formats can be used in combination with the intelligent navigation- and hyperlinking features to address needs of complex integration scenarios.
