3D-Viewer für den industriellen Anlagenbau: MPDS4 REVIEW 1.2

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Saving 3D Views for Collaborators and Customers

In addition to the existing tools for choosing different views and conducting camera-like 3D walk-throughs, MPDS4 REVIEW now allows users to name and store different views of a model or plant, which can then be selected and displayed at any time.
This makes the tool even more ideal for collaboration with suppliers, colleagues and customers, as different views can be saved with a model, which can quickly be selected during a presentation to (or by) a customer, or during a meeting with collaborators.
MPDS4 REVIEW version 1.2 is available for immediate download for CAD Schroer maintenance customers via its Customer Portal. Log in to the CAD Schroer Customer Portal[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Gaining a Structural Overview

In addition to showing details and attributes for selected components within a plant or factory, version 1.2 now allows users to gain an overview of the structure of the 3D data by providing a structure tree, which lists systems, subsystems, and individual components.

Measuring Distances

Version 1.2 now also allows users to measure distances between components, and to display these distances on the screen. The model can be saved with distances displayed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

About MPDS4 REVIEW

MPDS4 REVIEW is an external 3D review and feedback tool. The software is used to interactively review MEDUSA4 3D CAD data in detail, or to walk through an entire industrial plant, generated by CAD Schroer’s MPDS4 plant design system. The system enables users to see model properties and attach comments for designers, which are saved with the model.

2D to 3D Made Easy

Your design process is ideally suited to 2D, but occasionally you have a need for 3D? MEDUSA4 3D provides the perfect answer!

Do you find yourself needing to:

Design or visualise a particularly complex part
Exchange 3D data with customers and suppliers
Do mass properties calculations
Carry out FE analysis?

Then MEDUSA4 3D offers the following benefits:

Use 3D when and where appropriate, without having to bear the cost and time overheads associated with a full 3D approach.
Retain full compatibility with your 2D design data and process.
Use simple and easy modelling techniques based on orthographic projection, familiar to all designers.
Produce drawings automatically from 3D models. This speeds up drawing production when modelling is used. The drawings can be used with the rest of your 2D process drawings, e.g. assembly, installation, manufacturing and tooling drawings.
Use existing 2D drawings as the basis for 3D models – great where a model is needed purely for to meet a supplier or customer’s requirements.
Parameterise 3D designs using MEDUSA4 PARAMETRICS
Do quick mass properties calculations on your model
Easily exchange data with other 3D systems, and create output for Finite Element Analysis
MEDUSA4 basic 3D is included in all MEDUSA4 ADVANCED packages. MEDUSA4 3D PLUS is available as an add-on module.

MEDRaster Colour

The new colour raster module allows customers to incorporate full colour images and scanned drawings into their designs. Around 90 major image formats are now supported. Existing customers with the bitonal MEDRaster product can upgrade for a small fee. Both products now support up to 5 separate rasters in a design, with the option of saving them to file (associated with the sheet) or directly in the sheet.

Typical applications include :

Addition of a colour-shaded view of a 3D model, to supplement a dimensioned drawing. (Unlike other systems, MEDRaster Colour allows you to store the image within the sheet)
Insertion and management of scanned paper designs – monochrome or colour – to avoid unnecessary rework
Incorporation of maps or other colour-coded diagrams as supplementary design information
Insertion of colour graphs and other images from non-CAD software for illustration or sales and marketing purposes
Provision of graphical instructions or photographs for downstream applications
Incorporation of graphical analysis or property data (such as visual stress analysis or heat transfer data) of design components for manufacturers or end customers

Text handling and DXF/DWG Conversion

Unicode provides a universal architecture and encoding for all languages of the world, with nearly 100,000 characters currently encoded. This means more multi-language support for MEDUSA4, and even better integration with other systems.

With Unicode you can now:

Use any scaleable operating system font on all supported platforms
Cut and paste text from your Web browser to the MEDUSA text tool
Use the Text Translator with any installed language
Exchange data with other systems

The CADConvert interface for DXF/DWG conversion now:

Reads and writes AutoCAD® DWG 2007
Reads and writes Unicode (the most common AutoCAD ANSI code pages)
Imports AutoCAD layer names
Exports group names as block names
Imports splines (NURBS) as curves
