Anark Announces MBEWorks™ for SolidWorks 2012
Anark Corporation announced its new 3D MBE capability integrated into SolidWorks 2012 called Anark Core MBEWorks™. This new capability will be demonstrated for the first time at SolidWorks World 2012 (booth #405) held at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego California.
Anark Core MBEWorks transforms SolidWorks 2012 parts and assemblies with 3D linear dimensions & tolerances, 3D GD&T, and other 3D notes into high-resolution 3D PDF and 3D HTML MBE documents. These open formatted documents contain manufacture-quality BREP geometry, interactive associativity (between features and their 3D Dimensions and Tolerances per ASME Y14.41 "visual response"), and "machine readable" semantic definitions for each component part.
Unleash the Model Based Enterprise™
With MBEWorks you can turn your SolidWorks 3D Parts, Assemblies with 3D Dimension and Tolerance data into 3D MBE Technical Data Packages (TDPs), Requests for Quotes, Digital Work Instructions, Inspection Documents and other 3D PDF and 3D HTML based manufacturing process documents.
MBEWorks is perfect for interacting with the Department of Defense (DOD) and can both create and consume 3D MBE TDPs and 3D MBE Manufacturing Process documents. 3D MBE is the new DOD Product data strategy outlined in MIL-STD-31000.
Adopting MBEWorks will give you a significant advantage over your competition when bidding for government contracts.
Reduce Costs Across the Model Based Enterprise
MBEWorks allows SolidWork's users to dramatically reduce the costs associated with communicating dimension and tolerance information (design intent) to their internal organizations, their suppliers and their customers by replacing redundant, hard to interpret and expensive 2D drawings with a single, complete and easy to interpret 3D Model Based Definition (MBD) document.
MBEWorks also saves SolidWorks users significantly on 3D MBD/MBE deployment costs since MBEWorks creates native Adobe 3D PDF and native HTML5 formatted documents that can be fully viewed and interacted with using the Free Adobe Reader and Free Web Browsers, unlike other solutions that charge for each user that wants to fully view and interact with 3D MBD/MBE information.
The 4-Easies for Creating 3D MBE documents
MBEWorks was developed with SolidWorks users in mind. Anyone can easily create "Fit for Purpose," lightweight 3D PDF and 3D HTML MBD/MBE documents directly from their SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies, 3D Dimensions and Tolerances, Process Plans stored within Excel Spread Sheets and other sources of manufacturing data. Like other SolidWorks capabilities, the beauty of MBEWorks is in its ease of use, intuitive approach and cost effective implementation. This means that your 3D MBD/MBE documents can be easily created and deployed without special IT staff, specialists in 3D animation or expensive consultants with scripting language and XML expertise.
This is made possible because MBEWorks was developed with these 4- principles in mind:
Make it easy to connect to all sources of 3D Design and manufacturing data,
Make it easy to author 3D MBD/MBE documents that are "Fit for Purpose,"
Make it easy to publish 3D PDFs and 3D HTML MBD/MBE documents and
Make it easy to regenerate these documents when there is a design or manufacturing change.
