Boolean operations: New solid objects can be created by performing Boolean operations to combine, subtract or intersect sets of objects.The sketched solid geometry can be exported from Inspire in various formats including Parasolid, Step and IGES. When sketches are modified, constraints ensure the intended relationship between the sketch and entity. In addition, geometric relationships, such as tangents, perpendicular and collinear, can be applied to sketches. Sketching tools: Users can build simple design spaces by modifying or creating new solid parts using line, rectangle, circle and arc sketching tools.New features and improvements available in Inspire 9.0 include: “By employing the new capabilities introduced in this release, users can rapidly generate design spaces and arrive at efficient design concepts while improving both static and dynamic stiffness and reducing weight.” “It's never been easier to address structural challenges at the conceptual phase of a design project,” said Andrew Bartels, Program Manager for solidThinking Inspire. Inspire 9.0 provides design engineers and architects with an intuitive environment that enables the exploration of structurally efficient concepts in the earliest phases of the design process. – Novem– solidThinking, Inc., today announced the release of Inspire ™ 9.0, the latest version of its unique simulation-driven product development software. Privately held with more than 2,000 employees, Altair is headquartered in Troy, Michigan, USA and operates more than 40 offices throughout more than 20 countries.TROY, Mich. solidThinking is a wholly owned subsidiary of Altair.
solidThinking software is sold and supported by a global network of distribution partners and is also available as part of the Altair HyperWorks suite. SolidThinking creates, develops and markets technology that helps our user community bring the most desirable products to their customers faster. "We plan to continue to surprise and delight our users with our coming releases.". "Winning the Golden Mousetrap is a true testament to the hard work that the entire team has invested to make solidThinking Inspire such a groundbreaking product," said Andy Bartels, program manager at solidThinking. Usage of solidThinking Inspire often results in lower costs, and may shorten the product development cycle. This design proposal can be evolved into a finished product with easy export to major CAD tools. The software generates a material layout within a defined package space using the loads as an input.
It helps design engineers quickly create dramatically lighter structures and understand the effect of material placement in whatever they are developing. SolidThinking Inspire provides concept generation and inspiration for better products.
It is our commitment to radically improve the product design process through the creative application of technology." "Recognition from an industry-leading publication like Design News is a tribute to the innovative tools that solidThinking offers. "We are honored that Design News has recognized solidThinking Inspire with the Golden Mousetrap Award," said James Hassberger, President of solidThinking. The finalist entries were then sent to the entire editorial team and the distinguished Advisory Board for final selection of the winners. The Golden Mousetrap Awards were announced at a ceremony held Februat the Anaheim Marriott.ĭesign News' editors worked tirelessly to evaluate the many entries received to select the products most deserving of inclusion on the list of finalists. The awards celebrate the companies, products, and people who are energizing North American design, engineering, and manufacturing. announced that solidThinking Inspire has been selected as the Golden Mousetrap Winner in the Design Tools - Hardware & Software CAD/PDM/PLM category.
