IronCAD 2012: 3D Constraint Solver for Bi-Directional


IronCAD 2012 Improved
New improvements have been made to the 3D Constraint solver to aid users in positioning and modifying connected components. Dimensional constraints between parts and assemblies are now fully bi-directional meaning that either object is free to move in order to solve the desired positional change as you would expect in the real world between objects. In order to help determine which component should move, controls and default behaviors have been added to support a preferred move setting. This preferred moving object will move as long as it is free to move and is not fixed in the degrees of freedom by other objects. Advance setting are supported to allow objects within assemblies to move based on positional changes of objects outside of the assembly. This capability is powerful when objects within the assembly group change position with respect to other objects that don't necessarily belong to the same assembly which is often the case in mechanisms. Constraints added in the previous versions of the application will remain and solve in the existing method to maintain the existing behavior.

IRONCAD - Utilizing a breakthrough approach to creative design, IRONCAD is the productivity leader for moving creative ideas into 3D reality. IRONCAD offers a level of design freedom that is unmatched in the industry today. It is the tool of choice for design engineers when deadlines are tight and a high degree of unanticipated change is expected. IRONCAD's drag and drop 3D environment provides a fresh alternative to traditional history-based parametric systems; delivering unmatched ease of use and superior productivity.

IRONCAD DRAFT - For decades users have needed to choose between working in 2D or 3D, today there is another option! – Historically, designers have wanted to work in 2D. They prefer the ability to control and craft their drawings and to detail them clearly and efficiently. To these users, drafting is an art form, not merely a series of lines on a piece of paper. While the evolution of 3D modeling has made designing products easier for some, for many working in 3D is not a necessity but it is beneficial.

Movers India Impresses Clients

Movers India Impresses Clients
In the year 1979, when the term globalization was an unheard of phrase, a group of technocrats with a wealth of experience and expertise behind them, were setting up a company called Movers (India) which would in due course of time, make the world sit up and take notice of it. Right from its inception, the company has always believed that nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. Ideas are the lifeline of any business, more so in an intensely competitive environment, where only the fittest and the most imaginative can flourish. While the Indian economic situation has undergone cataclysmic changes in the past decade, Movers India has suitably adapted to the changing scenario to keep in tune with market needs and aspirations.

Movers (India) has successfully rendered its services to the Process Industry for more than twenty-five years and in the process built a relationship of trust with the customer who feels a genuine sense of loyalty to the firm. Such customer relationships have been born out of successive experiences of customer satisfaction. At Movers (India) it is the ongoing creation of value that has strengthened and enriched the industry.

Core Area: Design core equipment of Ball Mills, Mechanical classifiers, Crushers/Impactors, Vertical Kilns, VSK Gearbox and Material Handling Equipment. Fully capable to design and manufacture equipment for special applications as per the customer requirements. 

The Challenge:
  • Find a value added capability to grow their business.
  • Shorten the product development cycle.
  • Implement a cost effective 3D modeling solution.
  • Leverage 3D data easily in the sales and marketing teams for pre-sales activities.
The Solution:

IronCAD certified resellers proposed and implemented the IronCAD 3D Modeling solution and achieved: 

Reduced design time and the detailed design process. Using IronCAD's Single Scene Environment (the ability to create parts and assemblies directly in a single file) and the patented TriBall, the design team can quickly and accurately assemble components for assemblies. 

Results:

After implementing the IronCAD 3D Design Solution, the design staff can easily meet the customer demands while providing a faster design turnaround. Using the IronCAD Catalogs with the ability to quickly access and reuse design data has allowed the company to gain more business. 

"Our marketing team needed a different approach to handle our product line. After we upgraded to the IronCAD 3D Design Solution, we found this to be extremely helpful for us to impress our clients with their needs. Client will see their equipment's working aspects well before they have even invested in it; thereby we are able to sell the right product for the right needs. In short "We are able to visualize our ideas now". Thank you IronCAD."
