Milford, September 10, 2015 – ITI TranscenData announces the release of CADIQ 8, the latest version of the innovative 3D CAD model validation and product data quality product.
CADIQ compares CAD models of various formats to identify geometric shape, quality, annotation and PMI saved view differences introduced by engineering changes, translation or manual remodeling. It highlights shape differences in form, mass properties, surface geometry and topology. Quality defects that impede analysis, manufacturing or data exchange processes are clearly identified with no extraneous information. CADIQ analysis uses the native programming interface of each CAD system to maximize accuracy and robustness. Excel statistics are automatically generated to support process quality control. All functionality is available in a command line interface for integration into PLM systems.
Highlights of this new release include :
- Improved diagnostic results and performance for complex models
- Improved model tree matching performance for complex models
- Improved equivalent entity matching performance for complex models
- Identify and accommodate structure changes in assembly components
- Improved PMI quality checking
- Improved semantic property comparison
- Improved viewer performance
- Improved Creo Embedded Launcher to support Creo ribbon interface
- New multi-page 3D PDF reports for MBD models (one page per saved view)
- New NX to 3D PDF (PRC) Assembly PMI validation support
- New ACIS Part Geometry interface
- New STEP PMI Validation Property quality diagnostics
- Updated CAD interfaces (see the Support Matrix)
- Discontinued support for 32-bit CAD System/File interfaces
