C3D Labs Invites You to the Pre-COFES 2017 Conference
JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF C3D DEVELOPMENT!
APRIL 6, THE SCOTTSDALE PLAZA RESORT, SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA, USA
Event beginning: 10:00 Event termination: 12:00
COFES 2017 is the annual milestone conference for the CAD industry, and takes place each April in Scottsdale, Arizona. Before the start of the Congress, C3D Labs will celebrate the 20th anniversary of ASCON Group starting its development of a unique geometric modeling kernel — C3D.
The C3D Labs team will describe the past and unveil its plans for the future of the C3D technology. The modeling toolkit is designed for different levels of 3D software development. You will learn how it works, how customers employ it, and hear about the exciting, brand-new products in the pipeline from C3D Labs!
We invite you to attend our pre-COFES 2017 anniversary event. Attendance  is free, but please register in advance. Attendees have an opportunity to take home Dr. Nikolay Golovanov's groundbreaking book “Geometric Modeling, The Mathematics of Shapes”.
To learn more about our C3D Toolkit, visit http://intrinsim.com/C3DKernel.html
See you in Arizona!

MG-Hexa:
A 100% Hex Fully-Automatic Mesher with Boundary Layers
MG-Hexa is based on the octree method, so as to combine full automation and reliability. This octree mesh is made conformal thanks to the insertion of conforming patterns. As for all full-hex mesh generation methods, the octree method has its good sides (automation, extreme reliability for all complex geometries), and its bad sides (fine geometry accuracy control, size of meshes produced). Since the goal is to obtain well shaped hexahedra in all sorts of complex geometries, MeshGems-Hexa inserts a layer of hexes around the boundary to ensure a good quality of hexahedra near the body.
Generating boundary layer meshes as part of a 100% hex mesh is a capacity that MeshGems-Hexa is able to provide. The user simply specifies the number of layers required, the height of the first layer and a geometrical growth rate as well as the region where the boundary layers have to be built. The size of the last layer as well as the total size of layers will be computed and checked against the size of the smallest boundary hex element, in order to adjust the boundary layer size to the geometry . To bridge the gap and provide a smooth transition between the two parts of the mesh (the anisotropic part of the boundary layers, and the isotropic part corresponding to the remaining volume), some additional layers, called blending layers, are inserted in between. Finally, an imprinting capability is also available, to make sure boundary layers are imprinted on faces which do not have a boundary layer to grow themselves (like symmetry planes, periodic faces, inlets or outlets, etc.).
THE “BOUNDARY LAYERS” FEATURE OF MG-HEXA IS A STANDARD OPTION OF THIS COMPONENT, BASED ON THE METHODOLOGY AND ALGORITHM OF MG-HEXA. THE EXTRUSION CAPABILITY AVAILABLE IN MG-HYBRID FOR THE “BOUNDARY LAYERS” GENERATION USES A TOTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH.

CrossManager 2017.1 converts SOLIDWORKS 2017 and CATIA V6 R2016x files
Version 2017.1 of CrossManager, now supports the conversion of files coming from SOLIDWORKS 2017 SP0 and from CATIA V6 R2016x along with IFC files and 2017.1 can write binary Parasolid files (.x_b). These new foramts were added to the more than forty 2D and 3D formats already supported by CrossManager.
These improvements also apply to CrossCad/Ware, the API enabling software vendors to integrate Datakit technology into their own applications. Software vendors interested in CrossCad/Ware should contact intrinSIM to get information on CrossCAD/WAre or to setup a meeting at SolidWorks World 2017.

Datakit’s New IFC Reader Allows Interoperability Between BIM and CAD
Datakit unveiled its new interface: a library to read the IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes), the standard exchange format for BIM (Building Information Modeling).
An IFC file, converted in 3DPDF with CrossManager. The file can thus be opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader™ to be viewed. The model tree and the properties are also converted.
IFC model provided by Architect Building Designer Office (Cc-by-3.0 license)
Software vendors can offer their users the ability to import BIM data. |
