IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2016 Product Update 1 Released

IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2016 Product Update 1 Released

Latest Update Further Improves IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite Design Productivity

ATLANTA GA, May31st, 2016 - IronCAD, LLC, the leading provider of design productivity solutions, officially announced the immediate availability of IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2016 Product Update 1. With many new features developed by working closely with customers and resellers, the suite of products continues to offer real productivity gains to customers across fabrication and assembly design. With a focus on productivity enhancements, sheet metal design, detailing and others the 2016 Product Update 1 boosts significant improvements in designing and modeling flexibility.
Some of the productivity and other highlights in Product Update 1 include:
  • TriBall Snap to Nearest New CapabilityTriBall Center-Point Snap to Nearest– Often when you are designing, you will use the TriBall to position objects with respect to other geometry. One of the common tasks is to move the object to a midpoint of an edge or a vertex. The TriBall provides the ability to drag the center-point and snap to these locations. To speed up this common task, you can now drag the center-point of the TriBall and hold the shift-key to enable "Snap to Nearest." Simply drag onto an edge and the TriBall will snap to the nearest point or midpoint on the highlighted edge. Release the mouse and it is precisely placed without having to move the extra amount to locate the points.

  • Variable Chamfer New CapabilityVariable Edge Chamfer– The edge chamfer command has been enhanced to support different inputs along the selected edge. You can select a 2 Point (Distance), 4 Point (Distance-Distance Settings), 2 Point (Distance Angle) and a powerful variable distance with any number of points along the edge. This capability opens up the flexibility to modify geometry to more complex conditions without using typical cutting operations.

  • Native File BOM Property ImportIronCAD Native Translator Support for BOM Property Import - The native translator which supports native formats such as Inventor, Solidworks, Pro/E(CREO), UG/NX, SolidEdge, has been enhanced to support BOM property information stored with these files. For example: Part Number, Description, Material Name, Material Density, and other custom properties can be transferred during the import process into IronCAD applications. This enhances the reuse of data from other applications without the need to re-input the data for reusable parts or standard parts.

  • Improve Feature Support and Enhanced Unfold for Sheet Metal – IronCAD's sheet metal has been improved to support many additional operations that are standard in IronCAD's part modeling. For example, users can now apply standard cut features that can affect multiple bends in sheet metal, blends and chamfers on stock corners, and operations such as Trim where you can cut the sheet metal by other objects. In addition, this enhanced behavior improves the unfold operation time to speed up the design process.

  • Sheet Metal Loft Support for Square to Ellipse Transitions - In 2016, the sheet metal loft was enhanced to support formed and pressed bent operations. This version has been enhanced further to support the transition from Square to an Ellipse for press bent sheet metal. This is a valuable improvement for these types of transitions especially for square to circular designs that may have angled planes for the loft when unfolding to generate a press bend layout.
In addition to these productivity improvements, Product Update 1 also includes more than 100 quality improvements in stability and performance. IronCAD Product Update 1 is available for immediate download for customers on active Armor Advantage and Software Subscription contracts using the IronCAD customer community.

"We are very excited to release the latest product update to our customers," commented Cary O'Connor, IronCAD's VP of Marketing, "When it comes to fabrication and assembly productivity, IronCAD simply cannot be beat and these new features and stability enhancements ensure our customers will be even more productive."

IronCAD Announces New Mechanical Add-On


IronCAD Mechanical – Mechanical Utilities To Improve Design Efficiency
ATLANTA GA, February 17th, 2016 - IronCAD, a leading provider of design productivity solutions, today announced their powerful, new IronCAD Mechanical add-on which offers a complete library of intelligent tools such as standard fasteners, steel sections, pipes, flanges and a wide set of utilities that are all aimed to increase productivity in the design process. Because knowledge and rules are built directly into the tools, typical day-to-day tasks such as Bill of Materials generation, component placement and sizing are much simpler significantly reducing design time and effort.
Mechanical Utilities for 3D DesignIronCAD Mechanical delivers fast in-place design improvements but also features a specialized mechanical dialog to address all the details required to create custom or standard components and assemblies. Users have new dialog forms for all standard components (such as screws, bearings, gears, etc.) which graphically guides fabricators in the creation of assemblies with all appropriate settings like plate holes and clearances. Fastener Assemblies allow the creation of fasteners and holes that can be applied to multiple parts with precise settings for depths that follow engineering size standards. Plus, IronCAD Mechanical provides assembly associativity so when fasteners and plates are repositioned or resized all the holes and clearances are automatically updated.
IronCAD Mechanical offers significant productivity gains when creating, for example pipe layouts and steel sections. Users select a mechanical pipe from the catalog, verify the industrial information in the dialog and then drop the pipe into place. These components utilize Smart eBehaviorsTM that add intelligent behaviors such as positioning, orientation, constraints, sizing, or customized actions. For example, when other components are dropped onto the pipe, they automatically connect and size according to the previous pipe size making it faster to configure piping layouts. Fabricators also have access to specialized tools for trimming, welding and splitting components.3D Piping Tools for Design
IronCAD has announced that the base level proven functionality will be included free of charge to all customers beyond the standard 30 day trial period (includes Fasteners, Custom Holes, Bearings, Steels, O-rings, and Boss Threads).
Cary O'Connor, Vice President of Marketing at IronCAD, stated, "IronCAD Mechanical brings new power to our Design Collaboration Suite customers. By putting Smart eBehavior right at our customer's fingertips, we've made it easy to create mechanical assemblies, weldments and much more."
IronCAD Mechanical is immediately available to all active support customers athttp://www.ironcad.com/icmechanical.
