With SpaceClaim, it’s a direct modeller so you can just go through a process of cleaning up your geometry and removing any unnecessary features without worrying about affecting any existing dependencies. In a typical feature-based CAD modeller, you’ll have a parametric history which has many dependencies/relations – these will often cause problems in your CAD if you accidentally remove bodies that are relied upon by other features.

What do you mean exactly by “cleaning things up”?įor example engineers will often want to make simplifying changes to their model, especially if they’re defeaturing it for simulation – often you need to remove many small fillets or small edges. I think that because it’s a direct modeler, you can just do things a lot quicker than in typical CAD packages. They always comment that it’s just so fast at what it does, and also people often like how you can work with imported CAD models from really any source at all – you can clean them up faster in SpaceClaim than you could do in the original CAD package. Peter, you’re a senior application engineer and you’ve trained & supported many people to use SpaceClaim over the years – what are people’s first reactions when you show them SpaceClaim ? We recently sat down for a quick interview with Peter Brand, Specialist Application Engineer at LEAP to find out more about his experiences from showcasing SpaceClaim to a range of engineers from different industries across Australia & New Zealand.
