CADfix DX - Streamline Your CAD Data Exchange and Re-use
CADfix Data Exchange (DX) is an industry-leading software solution for CAD model translation, repair, healing, defeaturing, and simplification. CADfix is the go-to choice for professionals seeking to overcome challenges in 3D model data exchange and re-use between diverse engineering applications.
Advanced CADfix Tools for CAD Model Simplification
CADfix provides both automatic and interactive tools to streamline CAD models:
- Automatic Edge and Face Collapsing: Remove short edges and thin sliver faces automatically.
- Manual Feature Removal: Collapse points and join chains of short edges or small face regions.
- Complex Feature Removal: Eliminate unwanted holes, protrusions, fillets, chamfers, and user-selected features like ribs or intricate protrusions.
Accelerate Analysis with CADfix
In the fast-paced environment of modern product design, simulation tools must deliver results quickly. CADfix facilitates this by bridging the gap between CAD data and CAE systems. It supports a wide range of CAD formats, performs geometry repair and healing, and simplifies complex geometric definitions. This ensures more reliable and efficient analysis, reducing preparation time and improving overall simulation accuracy.
Geometry Partitioning for Enhanced CAE Analysis
CADfix also offers robust tools for geometry partitioning:
- Planar Cuts: Create precise cuts of edges, surfaces, and bodies.
- General Splitting: Define splitting curves and faces to partition models as needed.
- Mid-Surface Extraction: Automatically reduce thin walled structures to mid surfaces.
- Partitioning for CFD: Automatically partition 2D and 3D flow domains ready for structured CFD meshing.
- Partitioning for Hex Meshing: Quickly subdivide models into regions for structured hex and swept meshing.
Precision Geometry Morphing to Support Analysis Lead Design
CADfix offers a powerful geometry morphing solution that precisely deforms original CAD models to align with displacement results from CAE analyses. This advanced morphing process creates smooth, well-defined, and accurate model geometries, which can be seamlessly exported back to CAD for further use or to CAE systems for re-meshing and additional analysis.
- Precision Geometry Morphing - Enhances model accuracy and quality by transforming the original CAD geometry to match displaced meshes, avoiding the limitations of traditional reverse engineering methods and delivering smooth, continuous geometries suited for CAD re-use and CAE re-meshing.
- Advanced Geometry Morphing Capabilities - Supports the import of deformation data from various sources, producing a high-quality, morphed version of the original CAD model. This results in precise and usable geometries that enhance both design and analysis phases.
Reverse Engineering (Back to CAD)
Facilitate seamless reverse engineering of faceted models from formats like JT, STL, and CATIA into CAD BREP models defined by NURBS and analytic surfaces. CADfix automates the conversion of faceting into regular triangle regions, creating new CAD geometry and topology. Export the reverse engineered BREP geometry to CAD for design or CAE systems for analysis, enhancing your engineering capabilities.
