3D Constraint Manager - SPATIAL - #2

www.spatial.com Assembly Management GGCM provides the set of simple constraints required to position assembly components with respect to each other. These can be applied in combination with each other and with fully customizable ‘expression’ constraints to build complex assembly relationships. Powerful diagnostics provide applications with mechanisms to identify confl icting constraints and systems of bodies that are rigid, massively simplifying assembly design problems. Constraint Management GGCM provides unifi ed 2D/3D constraint management. Dimensions, constraints and user expressions position parts within an assembly and control the shapes of curves and surface in part design. Geometric object types and constraint types defi ne simple to complex expressions for solving. Expression equality and inequality constraints are solved simultaneously with the rest of the confi guration to provide the widest set of equation solving capabilities and greatest solvability success. Multi-Axis Robotics Systems of constraints can be used to model robotic joints such as revolute, translational or spherical joints. Reverse kinematics is solved to provide joint confi gurations for positioning the “target point of contact”. Solving the system for the minimum change allows smooth transition between steps as the target point of contact moves. Collision Avoidance Virtual simulation for robotics and assembly design can check that moving bodies do not interfere with other bodies prior to part manufacturing and assembly. Expression constraints can be used to specify body movements and ensure that components are not able to touch each other or overlap through their full range of motion. GGCM’s high solving performance enables kinematics solving for complex workcells and even multi-robot shared workspaces. Spatial Integrated Technology GGCM/ACIS Bridge GGCM includes a bridge to 3D ACIS® Modeler for fast, reliable integration. The GGCM/ACIS bridge: .. Provides access to GGCM from within an ACIS application .. Associatively maps ACIS entities to GGCM objects .. Updates ACIS entities from the GGCM solution Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF) Spatial’s Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF) provides an application infrastructure, essential 3D functionality, and an extensible framework for rapid development of ACISbased applications. RADF integrates 3D ACIS® Modeler, HOOPS 3D Application Framework (HOOPS/3dAF) for visualization and 3D InterOp for CAD model translation, and provides a plug-in architecture. GGCM-enabled applications can be readily integrated as a plug-in. The result is a head start on the development of 3D software with fewer internal resources, lower development and on-going maintenance expenditures.
