Editor: Precise Conceptual Modeling
Concepts 3D is a precise software application that provides state of the art modeling tools without sacrificing speed and ease of use. Use Concepts 3D to explore and develop new product concepts using a variety of modeling methods including curves, surfaces, and solids all seamlessly integrated into a user friendly design environment.
Versatile, Intelligent Modeling Methods
Concepts 3D supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the task at hand. The different construction methods work together with transparent associativity and a History Tree to provide rapid design modifications.
State of Art Modeling Tools
Concepts 3D is not your typical widget based modeler found in the Mechanical CAD communities. Concepts 3D was designed from the ground up to make complex shapes using a variety of modeling practices. Designers can choose from a variety of integrated design methods that include:
---Curves (Points, Lines, Splines, Arcs, Ellipses, Conics)
---Surfaces (Over 17 different surface types)
---Solids (Primitives, Profile Based, Surface Based, Features)
---Features (Fillet, Chamfer, Shell, Boss, Holes, Protrude, Cutout )
---Local Face (Modify specific faces independent of features or history)
---Warp (Bend, twist, stretch NURB bodies independent of history)
---Deform (Inflate & Deflate using gains and positions)
Share Data with MCAD/Enterprise Solutions
Unlike facetted based conceptual design packages, Concepts 3D uses a precise kernel that shares data using SAT, IGES, STEP, and DXF/DWG.
Usability
Whereas MCAD/Enterprise solutions Focus on functionality, Concepts focuses on usability first. The simple clean user interface combined with intelligent snaps and integrated design methods make Concepts a Breeze to Get up to speed.
