3D ACIS Modeler at the Core of PowerDELTA

By DE Editors

Spatial Corp. provides some of the core technologies for Exa Corporation’s newest product, PowerDELTA.  PowerDELTA streamlines and automates the simulation model creation process by enabling multiple and time-consuming meshing tasks to be performed in a single, integrated application. 

PowerDELTA uses Spatial’s 3D InterOp to import and heal native CAD models, reducing or eliminating translation problems commonly encountered in the CAD to CAE process. Having the 3D ACIS Modeler as its CAD engine empowers users to perform CAD operations on the imported geometry, greatly enhancing their model preparation and meshing capabilities as well as improving response times to design changes at any stage of the development process. 

Spatial’s 3D development components enable Exa to address vehicle product development throughout the design and engineering process by offering a complete digital simulation solution, according to the company. PowerDELTA provides for import of a full bill of materials and records all geometric operations with a process audit trail.  ACIS enables PowerDELTA to function like a solid modeling tool allowing any changes to be rolled back through the process history tree.
