Convergence Geometric Modeler (CGM) Developing Next-Generation 3D Applications Presents Challenges The steep learning curve required for traditional parametric modeling Difficulties in the reuse of existing data models with the complex constraints of proprietary CAD systems Considerable cost and effort to achieve meaningful prototype results from an initial proof-of-concept CGM Provides a Platform for Innovation Tighter application data integration resulting from geometric data compatibility with Dassault Systèmes V5 and V6 technologies Tolerant Modeling designed in from the beginning to ensure precision for natively built and imported models The ability to quickly generate prototype results with reusable application code to accelerate development CGM Enables Efficient Re-Use of Existing Models Today, designers may begin projects by leveraging existing models and data. CGM is architected to take advantage of this “design-by-redesign” methodology. CGM provides tight integration with 3D InterOp for interoperability with leading CAD formats. Native B-rep interoperability with Dassault Systèmes V5 and V6 preserves full geometric and topological integrity with existing models. CGM Delivers Productivity CGM’s operators offer advanced capabilities to address the most challenging design and modification requirements. In addition to offering basic functionality common to all modelers for operations like tapering or filleting, CGM provides a smaller set of well defined, powerful operators which provide highlevel capabilities for addressing complex geometries and creating results in one step which would require multiple operations in traditional modelers. CGM Offers Tools for Earlier Initial Results CGM incorporates tools and technologies to enable more efficient 3D modeling. This includes the 3DScript, a powerful platform for prototyping and collaboration, which provides a quick, lightweight prototyping alternative so application developers can quickly demonstrate their proof-of-concept. They can then cut-and-paste code into their application to further accelerate their development. CGM enables new technical possibilities for independent software vendors, application providers and internal development organizations. The CGM 3D modeling kernel is the core geometry and topology modeler for Dassault Systèmes’ V5 and V6 and has been the foundation of V5 products for over ten years, proven in the most demanding application. CGM is well-suited for next-generation projects, especially in areas such as CAM, metrology and point-cloud applications.

The High-Quality Geometric Kernel Used in Dassault Systèmes V5 and V6 Products CGM lets developers build on the quality and compatibility of the geometric kernel tested in the industry’s most demanding application. CGM preserves full geometric and topological integrity with the CAD industries most widely used data format. Full Breadth of Modeling Operations CGM delivers a suite of the multi-dimensional modeling operators, including specialized operators, needed for application development in workflows involved in the creation and modification of complex geometries.
