ANSYS SpaceClaim 2016 ANSYS, a global innovator of engineering simulation technology, and SpaceClaim, the leader in 3D Direct Modeling solutions for rapid concept design and geometry manipulation, announced the release of SpaceClaim 2016. This is exciting news in the world of Software, CAD and 3D Printing. SpaceClaim is a leading CAD and Geometry software in industry. It is used in a variety of professions ranging from additive manufacturing, architecture, engineering and construction. The aim of SpaceClaim is to allow users to be able to run CAD processes faster and easier, this has meant simplifying interfaces, removing unnecessary tools and changing processes which can delay the design process such as structure trees. SpaceClaim is used both in industry and education. Companies such as General Dynamics, Toyota, Ford, Volvo and SAAB are just a few users of the software. They have chosen the software as it best fits within their design processes and has benefited them in numerous ways. SpaceClaim 2016 delivers 10-times faster 3D modeling than any other tool on the market. We've improved a variety of workflows and tools, helping you get your designs and ideas faster to market than ever. You'll see efficiency gains from start to finish Reverse Engineering Major Changes: The new Skin Surface Tool easily allows reverse engineering of highly organic shapes within SpaceClaim. Easily fit complex surfaces through faceted data. Benefits: Reverse engineering with a few mouse clicks. Connect highly organic shapes with a few surface patches, or blend period loops together easier than ever. It's one button, but it contains several built in workflows. SpaceClaim enables anyone to create, edit, and repair geometry without worrying about underlying technology. With SpaceClaim, working with 3D modeling software becomes fast, easy, flexible, and rewarding, no matter where in the workflow you need it. SpaceClaim allows you to: Work with any geometry no matter where it comes from Focus on the task at hand instead of getting over your head with complicated technology Learn the software in a matter of weeks instead of months Realize a return on investment that's faster than expected
