D-Cubed - Siemens PLM Software - #1

D-Cubed software solutions are part of the PLM Components family of software products from Siemens PLM Software. PLM Components are open tools used by software developers and manufacturers to accelerate software development and improve productivity while promoting industry standardization and interoperability throughout the product lifecycle. Several PLM Components - including many of the D-Cubed offerings - are de facto industry standards because of their proven quality, reliability and robust functionality.

World-class quality and robust functionality enhances productivity for both software developers and their end-user customers

Commercially proven technology minimizes development and testing requirements and removes the risk of in-house development overruns

Selecting component software over in-house programming enables developers to focus resources on their own areas of expertise, providing specific competitive value

De facto standard solutions used throughout the industry creates instant familiarity and compatibility with other offerings

Flexibility and versatility creates proven value in a wide range of applications by delivering commer­cially desirable end-user capabilities

Years of development time invested in D-Cubed components can be quickly and easily built into your applications at a fraction of the cost

D-Cubed software components and associated services enable rapid deployment of key capabilities that are fundamental to CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM applications. Proven D-Cubed solutions are a compelling economic alternative to in-house development. Customers choose to implement D-Cubed components to deliver the best functionality available and to free their resources for enhancing market position based on their own areas of expertise. A summary of D-Cubed components and consultancy services follows.

The 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager provides dimension-driven, constraint-based design functionality to CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM applications. End users can create and modify their designs efficiently, both in 2D applications and in the 2D variational

sketches of 3D parametric modeling

systems. Sketches are constructed

using a wide range of dimensions and

constraints to specify the location of the geometries.The design can then be rapidly modified by dragging geometry, for example, or by entering new dimension values.

The Profile Geometry Manager is used to manage higher-level sketching operations on profiles in any application with a 2D DCM-based sketcher.The PGM improves the productivity of the end user of sketching systems, particularly in the area of profile offsetting operations and constraining to entire profiles.
