Hello all,
Here is an opportunity for RE and RP&T users to either view CAD data or use RE surfaces for CAD modelling.
Delcam, the developers of CopyCAD, is making available a free evaluation copy of its PowerSHAPE hybrid CAD modeller to all visitors to the company's web site http://www.delcam.com. PowerSHAPE is the most powerful and versatile hybrid design system currently on the market for the design of products and tooling featuring complex shapes. It combines the ease of use of conventional solid modellers with the design flexibility of surface modellers. To obtain a copy of the evaluation software, please go to http://www.delcam.com/download_pshape/download.htm .
The evaluation copy of PowerSHAPE has all the functionality of the current release for both solid and surface modelling but has the save capability disabled. A special series of tutorials has been added to allow users to assess the software in a controlled way. To get the most from the software, it is strongly recommended that the tutorials are completed before trying the software on any original design work.
The software comes with Delcam's IGES translator so that data can be imported from other CAD systems and modified within PowerSHAPE. The software is extremely tolerant of poor quality imported CAD data, so giving it unrivalled interoperability with a wide range of other applications. In particular, PowerSHAPE is capable of building solids from trimmed surfaces that are joined together with coarse tolerances.
The evaluation software can also be used as a CAD viewer, allowing all participants in any project to view models from a wide range of systems. This will be particularly useful for staff involved in sales or marketing, as they will be able to use the viewer to discuss progress with the customer, without having to interrupt the company's CAD operators.
The PowerSHAPE evaluation copy should run on any Pentium PC with a minimum of 128 Mb RAM running Windows NT.
