data preparation and model validation VISI Analysis provides a suite of dedicated tools for the validation and preparation of model geometry. When working with imported data, the quality of the model is an important consideration. Finding potential problems at an early stage within the project will greatly simplify the task of the designer and generate huge time savings further along the design process.

Check for design changes Edge conditions The model comparison tool provides the ability to load two models (solid or surfaces) and check for design changes. Any model deviations are highlighted using a new colour and using the transparency slide bar, it is possible to switch the visibility between either models to quickly identify the design changes. A second option will again identify the design changes, using a set of user-defined distance parameters, it is possible to see the physical distance changes between the two models. Automatic extraction of the model differences makes it quick and easy to apply design changes to existing data. When working with imported data, the geometry edge conditions can have a major effect on the model quality and be an important key to a successful project. VISI Analysis contains tools to interrogate the model topology for both editing and simplification of the surface edge and tangency conditions. Graphical core and cavity creation cr eation Multiple separation tools are available to interrogate the model and gather the surfaces required for the relevant core, cavity, undercut or side moving zones. All features can be grouped and dynamically translated along a movement axis to represent the mould opening sequence. The animation can be saved as an external file and re-run at any point to help explain the complete working of the mould tool. The split line manager provides 3 different routines for finding the optimum split line. Using the highly graphical interface it is possible to interact with the computer generated result and modify it to suit your own design requirements. It is possible to extract the split line as curve geometry or automatically separate the model into the relevant core, cavity or side moving zones. available g athe r re leva nt m ovin g up ed ng a e mould t io n Draft angle and radii checking e and Draft analysis is where to start on any model to quickly validate the moulding feasibility. Finding potential design issues at this stage will generate huge time savings. Simply select the moulding direction and the model will be rendered using user-defined colour draft zones to easily identify problem conditions. The graphical interface can also be used to highlight the model curvature and max / min radii. ai n o ul d i des e h ly o at ed w n to m etry e l e
