Top Systems Ships T-FLEX CAD 11 for Parametric Solids

By DE Editors

Top Systems (Moscow, Russia) announced that T-FLEX CAD 11, the latest version of its parametric 3D and 2D design software, is shipping to customers worldwide. T-FLEX CAD 11 delivers a new user interface as well as fast 3D graphics and advanced modeling features.

T-FLEX 11 offers a range of functions from 2D drawing and 3D design to manufacturing,  finite element, and dynamic analysis. The intuitive workflow predicts which tools users will need in the context of the specific task they are undertaking and makes them readily available. A new integrated tutorial guides users through the program’s functionality step-by-step.

Connectors,  the new model elements, simplify positioning of parts and matching parameters when designing assemblies in 2D and 3D. An extended set of options for projecting 2D views for large or complex models are several times faster,  providing associative updates of drawing views after a corresponding change to the 3D model.

T-FLEX CAD 11 uses Parasolid 19.1, the latest version of the production-proven 3D geometric kernel, with the new functions and improved algorithms for performing solid and surface operations. The new group of modeling commands is introduced in T-FLEX CAD 11 for changing the shape of solid or sheet bodies by various “deforming” manipulations.

Improvements in handling large 3D models and assemblies include the multithreaded data processing is used now in calculating the geometry of 3D operations and in finite element analysis (FEA). Interface and graphics were adapted to nuances of Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. Import options were extended to support the latest releases of AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, and Rhinoceros.
