SURFACE MODELING The ANVIL EXPRESS Surface Modeler can
create almost any type of surface you are ever likely to need. The available surface types
include: The NURB surfaces can handle tasks
as demanding as that of modeling the cornea in the human eye, in which shape differences
as minuscule as one-half of a micron need to be accounted for. Surface Modeler can blend
as many as four surfaces together, with regular-shape or varying-shape blends. It also
includes curve and surface editors that can adjust your geometry after it has been
created.
Hidden Line
and Shading If you wish, you can use a different
display mode in each on-screen view of your design. In addition, if you need
photo-realistic images or animated sequences, the ANVIL Render/Animator module works
directly with your surface model's design data. Prototyping
and Analysis In addition, Surface Modeler
includes a mass properties function that provides detailed information about the geometric
properties of your model. These include its volume, surface area, centers of mass, and
radii of gyration. This allows many key factors about your design to be evaluated without
using a finite-element analysis program. Surface modeling plays a key role in many important CAD/CAM processes. NC programmers frequently need surface models as a basis for their tool paths. Also, surface data is generally required for specialized prototyping and analysis programs, as well as filling the gap in traditional solid modelers. You need a 21st Century CAD-through-CAM system with the power of advanced surface modeling, and you can get it without waiting for the next millennium: ANVIL EXPRESS is available today.
