SpaceClaim and Design Simulation Technologies Announce Integration of SpaceClaim Engineer and SimWise 4D

CONCORD, MA, January 15, 2013 – SpaceClaim, providing the world’s fastest and most innovative 3D Direct Modeling solutions, and Design Simulation Technologies (DST), developers of integrated 3D dynamic motion and FEA software, announced today that SpaceClaim Engineer and SimWise 4D are now integrated so that SpaceClaim geometry and assembly constraints are transferred to SimWise in an associative manner. Once the SpaceClaim model has been transferred to SimWise, users are able to:.

• Perform world-class dynamic motion simulation
• Perform FEA analysis on the model using the dynamic motion loads
• Integrate the motion simulation with control systems for co-simulation
• Conduct keyframe animation for sophisticated simulation results review

For additional details and a video showcasing this integration, please visit the SpaceClaim-SimWise 4D page on the DST website. The integration is available now from DST.

“By interfacing the predictive and smart SpaceClaim 3D direct modeling software with SimWise, our customers now have the perfect environment for developing products involving moving assemblies of 3D parts,” Jeff Arrigotti, DST sales director. “In addition, our customers will benefit from the straightforward way in which they will be able to edit and repair geometry using SpaceClaim Engineer.”

“SimWise has power and cost effectiveness to make up-front simulation a reality for all products teams no matter the size,” said Rich Moore, SpaceClaim VP of business development. “Using the interface with SpaceClaim Engineer, our joint customers can now ensure simulation is an integral part of the design cycle, resulting in better products and higher profits,” he added.

About DST

DST develops physics-based simulation software. The company's products are used by engineering professionals to build and test virtual models of their mechanical designs, and by STEM educators and students in the classroom to teach and learn about physics and engineering kinematics, dynamics, and machine design. With DST's SimWise 4D, Working Model 2D, and Dynamic Designer products, users evaluate design performance by conducting complete, accurate simulations. Engineers, professors and students can quickly perform “what-if” analyses, find and correct design problems, plus refine and validate designs without the need for physical prototypes. DST develops, markets, and supports these software tools for commercial and academic users worldwide. Selected DST products are available from leading CAD suppliers and CAE resellers.
