ITI TranscenData Releases CADfix 8.0

By DE Editors

ITI TranscenData has released CADfix 8.0, the latest edition of its CAD interoperability tool that tackles the problems of 3D model data exchange and re-use between different engineering applications. CADfix allows the user to import CAD data, repair and adapt it, and export in the most suitable form for reuse in the downstream system, eliminating the need for CAD model rework.

The release of CADfix 8.0 includes new developments and consolidates the incremental service pack functionality that has been released over the last year. Some of the many enhancements include:

• Shrink Wrap STL Generator: Creates watertight representations of parts or assemblies with the ability to suppress gaps and surface details smaller than user controlled size.
• Imprinting tools for detecting and imprinting the contact regions between touching solids, including handling of cyclic symmetry.
• Native 64-bit version for Windows and Linux.
• Automatic sliver face and sharp angle fixing to detect and eliminate geometry conditions that often cause meshing problems in CAE applications.
