SPEC’s Application Performance Characterization (SPECapc) project group has updated its performance evaluation software for systems running Dassault Systemes' Solidworks CAD/CAM application. The benchmark is designed to run on Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit platforms.  The SPECapc for Solidworks 2017 benchmark consists of nine graphics and two CPU tests. The graphics tests use three Solidworks view settings -- RealView, ambient occlusion, and shadows -- in combination with shaded and shaded-with-edges display styles. The CPU tests perform tessellation and PhotoView360 rendering. Ten models are included in the benchmark, with the largest comprising 4.75-million triangles. The benchmark features order-independent transparency (OIT), a methodology for quickly displaying transparency, and full-scene anti-aliasing (FSAA) for higher-quality visuals. It can be run with either default anti-aliasing (edges/sketches only) or with FSAA. Individual scores are generated for each test and composite scores are computed for graphics and CPU performance. "The new benchmark is a powerful tool for anyone interested in determining

CCE has announced major enhancements of its Open Data Exchange (ODX) libraries focused significantly on Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) data. CCE has made significant improvements in PMI support for its CATIA V5 and NX ODX libraries. PMI support for CATIA V5 has been improved to support semantic data for datum targets and geometric tolerances, which allow applications to create PMI entities based on their native definitions. Other enhancements include support for weld annotation symbols and entity associations with their surface-canonicity details. For NX files, CCE now provides access to semantic data for Feature Control Frames (FCF). CCE also allows writing of linear and angular dimensions for NX data. “A lot of our focus this past year has been around making our PMI support more comprehensive and robust. With the push towards Model Based Enterprise and Model Based Design, engineering departments across the supply chain are creating far richer 3D models than they did up until a few
