Inovate - Customizable 3D Environment

Whether you are working with models, creating a rendering or doing an animation, the same basic concepts of drag and drop, right mouse property access and handles are utilized throughout, making INOVATE the easiest and most cost effective 3D modeling environment available. Its user interface has been designed to allow members of the extended design chain to productively participate in the design realization process.

Model concepts can be created by simply dragging intelligent 3D features (IntelliShapes™) from pre-built catalogs and dropping them into a scene or onto an existing part. Modifications can be accomplished by simply pulling on dynamic handles, or through property pages, accessed through a simple right mouse click. IntelliShapes are designed for maximum flexibility and can be fully parameterized.

The integration of powerful, high-end visualization and animation technologies into the core of INOVATE makes the entire 3D modeling process faster, more productive, and easier to understand.

Real-time detail representations such as texture, bump, and decal mapping are fully integrated to save time and valuable data space. Effective communication to all contributors, at every phase, enhances collaboration and speeds the productdevelopment process. In addition to the visualrealism, INOVATE allows models to be set in motion with the addition of SmartMotions™. SmartMotions are pre-created drag and drop key frame animations with editable paths providing truly realistic motion. Once created, the animations can be shared with others as animated GIF or AVI files.

The design visualization, collaboration features and ease-of-use makes INOVATE the perfect tool for Engineering, Marketing, Sales and Training to illustrate and communicate product features either through the use of animations or through directly importing 3D design models into marketing and sales brochures. This versatile use-model of INOVATE takes 3D models beyond the engineering design community.

INOVATE has Import & Export options that support a rich set of data translators (IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid, CATIA, Pro/E, STL, more……) that allow INOVATE to exchange data with all of the leading CAD systems. Once in INOVATE, the user can fully edit the model data (not just a subset of recognized features) enabling true upstream and downstream design collaboration. This makes it the perfect 3D modeling environment for your application. 

INOVATE allows engineers to confidently exchange and make use of 3D model data throughout your application. INOVATE supports the creation of custom catalogs such as families of standard parts, which dramatically improves design productivity and facilitates the easy transfer of critical design data between different users in your application chain. INOVATE also works in COMPOSE from IronCAD to provide a 3D collaborative environment for your application. COMPOSE^™ is a valuable tool for communicating 3D design concepts. The download is free to everyone; from designers wishing to share their designs to a sales person presenting their products at the point of sale. Everyone in your team can read data from INOVATE, interrogate the geometry, add their commentary, configure new assemblies based on smart catalogs from INOVATE, and create real-time renderings and animations.
