ModuleWorks and PTC have developed an integrated material removal simulation for the PTC Creo product development software suite. The integrated ModuleWorks components enable PTC to offer state-of-the-art material removal simulation and verification as part of the PTC Creo Parametric software. The simulation window is implemented directly in the PTC Creo user interface to ensure a familiar look and feel for end users. The ModuleWorks simulation technology provides multi-axis milling and turning simulation with gouge and deviation analysis as well as collision checking and manual or automatic refinement of the simulation result. Workpiece coloring according to the sequence or the tool provides enhanced visual analysis at a glance. The resulting triangulated model is available to the rest of the PTC Creo suite for seamless and efficient product analysis and development. Commenting on the integration project, David Plater, Technical Director at ModuleWorks says “The results of this project highlight the benefits of

TraceParts introduces an additional function into its CAD download platform for looking up parts and the associated information with a simple search using geometric criteria.  With the geometric similarity search feature, designer professionals can now use the 3D model of an existing part on the TraceParts platform to find all the variations and technical information of that model in just a few seconds and display the results of all the parts with a similar shape and size.  Basically, the 3DPartFinder™ shape search technology extracts the geometric signature that is unique to each part and compares it to millions of other parts on the TraceParts platform. The search results are presented in a 3D viewer, where the corresponding products are displayed in order of geometric similarity.  To provide CAD designers with even easier access to industrial parts, TraceParts naturally chose the ultra-powerful 3DPartFinder™ search engine. To implement the new search engine,
