今天，安西斯（Ansys）宣布了新发布的SpaceClaim软件，该软件声称将加快用户操纵几何形状，准备3D打印文件并减少产品开发时间所花费的时间。自今年早些时候ANSYS收购以来，SpaceClaim 2015是第一个推出的产品。
该公司的说法，2015年Spaceclaim将通过使工程师能够通过诸如宽广的编辑和管理模型管理，改进机械师的工具路径功能以及更复杂的几何形状创建升级的任何人来升级的任何人，从而极大地改善产品开发和制造工作流程。或创建3D模型。
I had a personal demo of the product today by Justin Hendrickson, director of Product Management for the SpaceClaim product line. The new features he showed me were quite impressive, especially the speed and ease of making changes, a hallmark of the company’s direct modeling approach. I saw several customer examples of how they are using the software, and what interested me the most was how diverse its use actually is.
一些客户使用Spaceclaim软件来准备模型，而另一些则用于准备制造型号（包括3D打印），而另一些则使用它从头到尾设计产品。鉴于这一点，我问亨德里克森是什么使该工具如此通用。他的回答是，该软件在众多应用程序中很受欢迎，因为它易于使用并且非常灵活，这“对习惯于与基于历史的建模者打交道的用户非常解放”。
Additional SpaceClaim improvements include imprint and wrap tools for easier simulation edits, clean and detection functionality, as well as improved integration with ANSYS Workbench– which enable engineers to focus their time and expertise on simulation analysis, not geometry preparation. Computational fluid dynamics engineers, for example, can take advantage of the new features in SpaceClaim to quickly extract the fluid volume of designs instead of relying on CAD engineers to edit geometries.
SpaceClaim’s 3D Printing module now includes more tools for repairing models and analyzing print success. In addition, direct editing of meshes with SpaceClaim’s intuitive Pull and Move tools are now available with the 2015 release, making it faster and easier for users to get models ready for printing.
ANSYS为概念设计，制造准备，细节和互操作性提供了各种其他改进。这些增强功能使用户能够更有效地利用时间，工程才能和材料，因为他们以更好的产品设计为推销时间更快。
Perplexus发起人Mike McGinnis说：“ SpaceClaim的新增强功能使我能够在创纪录的时间内设计我屡获殊荣的Perplexus 3D迷宫游戏的最复杂版本。”“这些工具已大大升级。特别是救济工具，它为我为CAM准备文件节省了几天。”
