Think3 announces the release of the new ThinkDesign 2011.1 beta version
BOLOGNA, Italy, July 11, 2011 - Think3 announces the release of the new ThinkDesign 2011.1 beta version of the highly appreciated CAD suite developed by the well-known Italian software house. The development has focused on the various application areas of the solution, with the result of offering customers operating in the field of styling, engineering and tooling, a new version full of features and improvements. Customers can now download the solution by accessing the Customer Care site, which makes available, beside the efficient maintenance services, the products updates. The download area is reachable on the new www.think3.eu website through Login Customer Care.
Please see below the key areas covered in this version.
Sketch
The sketch environment, heart of solid modeling, has been improved thanks to the enhancement of the graphic representation mode of constraints applied to entities. Now symbols are used in place of texts enabling a clear and prompt reading. Moreover it is possible to create arcs in the 3D environment by using the traditional commands Three-Point Circle, Circle given Center, Circle given Radius, Fillet.
Solid Modeling
Solid modeling has been enhanced with the introduction of the new Rib command enabling the creation of the typical reinforcement structures applied to components. Still in the field of solid modeling, improvements have been made to the Split command and to the Fillet Reconstruction in the Move Faces and Offset Faces tools of Interactive Solid Modeling (ISM). To complete the feature enrichment a new analysis command, External Relations Info, has been added. It will help engineers to operate with greater control over components.
Assembly
In the assembly environment it is now possible to create Assembly Features. They are very useful when a single component is applied several times, but specific features must be added only to some of the instances. These features will be created on the selected instances in the assembly, without any change to the original external component.
Subdivision Surfaces
In this version, a special importance is attached to the new Subdivision commands and features. Subdivision surfaces are a new powerful modeling tool available for the control of solids. Similarly to NURBS that enable the modification of surfaces by means of control points, subdivision surfaces enable the modification of solids, by using points.
What is really outstanding is that when the points are moved, the solid surfaces will be kept connected and the faces will retain their mutual tangency and curvature continuity conditions, since the command works on the whole shape and not on the single surfaces. Industrial designers will have one more tool to meet their needs.
Sheet Metal
In the sheet metal context, the commands Step Bend, Flange, Sheet Metal Wizard have been improved in usability and in the supported case studies, making the approach to this scope even more efficient.
Curves and surfaces
The new Approximation by Lines-Arcs command enables the conversion of a generic planar curve into a sequence of line segments and arcs. This is very useful to define a tool path for NC machines. The new Geodesic Curve command enables the creation of a curve that lying a surface, by generating the shortest path between two points.
Another interesting point is the new ReCapping command that enables the creation of a quality capping surface by using a mesh and some limiting curves as input data.
>MoldDesign
The new Region Analysis command enables the analysis of the visible faces of the mold part from multiple view directions. The faces are grouped by typology as visible, under draft, undercut and overlapped. By selecting the view direction, it is possible to define, using specific colors, the faces as the core, the cavity, and the sliders. It is also possible to create skins of the selected faces that can be used by the Region based option in the Split Mold command. The Separation Surfaces command enables the creation of the parting surface for the mold parts. Other enhancements are related to the commands Project management, Draft Analysis, Cooling and Standard Parts.
New Compensator concept
Currently designers can predict the spring back deformation by using FEM (Finite Element Analysis) tools. This method requires a considerable time and effort in integrating the FEM results into the modification of the tool design. This is why the FEM tools are not always used and a measurement process is applied instead. This version offers a new approach in the Compensator solution. A new set of features has been introduced, to obtain the Compensation or Adaptation on the basis of Measured Data (AMD/CMD).
Adaptation on Measured data
It is possible to apply a deformation in order to adapt the original surfaces of the model. This operation is accomplished by identifying the deformation from the physical model (obtained by a scanning process) as compared with the initial digital model. The deformation is then applied to the digital model to produce a digital model identical to the physical tool.
Compensation on Measured data
It is possible to compensate the part based on the measured data rather than on the FEM data. The reverse deformation data from the physical model are applied to the digital model employing an inverse law. The result is a digital model identical to the physical one.
These new functionalities make it possible to maintain quality throughout the whole design process, considerably reducing time and cost. It becomes much easier producing complex components that maintain the original design intent, with the possibility to manage design changes in a very effective way. Moreover users working in tooling departments will find the other new commands Blank Holder Addendum, Offset Mesh, Alignment.
PDF 2D
Document distribution will be improved thanks to the new PDF save option for the 2D drawing format, available as print mode.
Rendering and Material Management
This version introduces new Rendering functionalities and remarkable enhancements in the material management. The material and color attributes are distinctly classified and can be rendered separately on the shaded entities. The process of applying the Rendering properties remains the same, but with enhanced and easy-to-use features.
General
Generally speaking, version 2011.1 offers the optimization of the model structure management, a better compatibility with AutoCAD 2010, 3-Axis Scaling, 3D-Clipping View inversion, more accurate mesh generation, enhancement to the Capping and to the Global Modeling commands, and a lot of other improvements that will be appreciated by all users of ThinkDesign Suite that proves to be the best solution for design activities.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
