New Paper Deals with Large Data Structures
Ann Arbor, Michigan, 30 August 2012— CIMdata, the leading global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) consulting and research firm announces the publication of a new paper advising CAD users on the importance of tools that allow them to deal with large product assemblies.
Design engineers in all industry verticals report that their products continue to grow in sophistication. The added complexity in product models driven by market demand for enhanced capabilities and customization often results in larger and more complex 3D model assemblies. Design engineers find their current CAD solution can be challenged by the large data structures that must be defined, loaded, and manipulated. When selecting a CAD solution, prospective users must assess their requirements for dealing with large product assemblies and focus their choice on a solution that delivers sufficient performance and interaction.
This paper, the third in a series, identifies and discusses a number of functional capabilities for dealing with large product assemblies within CAD solutions that have proven to be of critical use for leading edge users. The first two papers dealt with geometric model change editing and multi-CAD data, respectively.
“CAD Selection Considerations: Product Assemblies” is available to be freely downloaded from CIMdata’s Publications web page at http://www.cimdata.com/publications/reports_complimentary/white_papers.html
