ICEM Shape Design R17 Expands Possibilities

By DE Editors

ICEM Ltd. (Southampton, UK) has released ICEM Shape Design (ISD) R17, a suite of tools for the creation, validation, and modification of any type of surface, from freeform surfaces to complex mechanical shapes. Developed by ICEM on the Dassault Systemes CAA V5 software architecture, it integrates seamlessly with CATIA V5 and other CAAV5-based product lifecycle management (PLM) environments.

New functionality in the suite includes numerous enhancements reflecting feedback from users looking for innovations in the solution. ISD R17 delivers new geometry creation, modification, and quality analysis capabilities in addition to enhancements ensuring high quality results and advanced surfacing options

The advanced surface modeling facilities of ISD deliver solutions ranging from general surface modeling to the specialized surface design and engineering requirements of specific industry sectors, such as automotive body and interior components, aircraft exterior skins, business jet and luxury yacht interiors, consumer durable goods and complex tire designs.

ISD R17 is available as a ‘collaborative’ installation where access is available to all licensed CATIA V5 products or as a ‘standalone’ installation where no CATIA V5 software is required. ISD R17 offers standard configurations and add on modules to address the complete product development process. Any one of the core configurations can act as the pre-requisite for the specialized add-on modules.
