Keeping the model within the same product environment throughout the entire project, from design to manufacture will guarantee data consistency and significantly smooth the design process.

Powerful blending Constant radius, variable radius, disc, hyperbolic and elliptical blends can be constructed directly onto a solid model. Blends can be propagated along tangent edges to quickly sweep across a component. For very complex blending conditions or when working with inconsistent data, blend faces can be constructed as surfaces in an untrimmed state providing greater flexibility. Trimming is easy using either wireframe curves, edge geometry or existing faces. Manufacturing modules All the VISI applications run in one easy to use environment with knowledge based modules available for mould tool and progressive die design. Once the tool design is complete, machining of plates can be completed using feature recognition; drilled hole features and apertures are automatically selected with the correct drilling cycles and 2D milling routines applied. For 3D forms, mould cavities or forming stages on a progressive die, VISI Machining will create the toolpaths directly on the model incorporating conventional, high speed and 5 axis toolpaths. Full range of 3D curves Create a theoretical split line curve or construct 3D curves including iso- parametric, cross section, helix, ellipse, spiral, hyperbolic and other mechanical curves. Advanced curve editing provides the ability to force tangency / periodicity, move control points, join or extend curves. Combined curve reprocessing allows multiple command combinations to greatly simplify the process of creating high quality curve geometry for surface construction, trimming or machining. Automatic creation of 2D views A complete set of 2D detailed drawings can be generated directly from the 3D model. This includes fully editable 2D and isometric section views, automatic dimensioning and hole type and position tables. Individual details can be created from any component in the assembly and displayed as a mixture of 3D rendered and 2D drawings. Any standard catalogue component will have the correct detail representation within a section view. A change in the 3D model will result in a modification to the 2D view along with any fully associative dimensions. Parts list table items and their respective balloon references can be added to the drawing using dedicated assembly management tools. tel. +44 (0) 1453 732900 Ease of use fax. +44 (0) 1453 887444 Simple menu and icon commands with context sensitive on line help make it quick and easy to start using VISI. Dynamic rotation, zoom and pan, together with programmable function keys and mouse buttons help speed up the operation of the software. Unlimited undo and redo operations with user definable bookmarks enable the designer to move backwards and forwards throughout the design process. Multi layer and multi origin control with user definable colour industrial pallets and line styles makes it easy to review, create and work with very complex designs. All information is stored in a single file providing easy access and reducing the burden of data management. Managing one session of the software with all the components available for editing at the same time provides much greater flexibility. Super fast rendering, texture mapping and dynamic sectioning make it easy to visualise CAD files and large assemblies. email. info@vero.co.uk web. www.vero-software.com Vero Software Plc The Mill, Brimscombe Port Brimscombe, Stroud Gloucestershire GL5 2QG United Kingdom
