ANSYS SpaceClaim makes it fast and easy to go from 2D drawings to 3D models. Capabilities that help SpaceClaim be 4-5 times more efficient than traditional feature-based modelling include:
- Open common 2D file formats like DXF, DWG, bitmaps, and IGES
- Use 2D drawings as the profiles to pull the drawing into 3D
- Sketch directly on top of 2D CAD images, appropriately scaled to size
- Automatically detect and fix gaps with 2D geometry so the 3D computer aided design is correct
- 2D and 3D tools let you tweak geometry in areas where the dimensions were incorrect
