NATIVE CAD INTELLIGENCE
Interrogate the engineering model before selecting the process.
STEP retains the connected mathematical surfaces and topology required for serious engineering analysis and manufacturing preparation.
02
Topology Interrogation
Count and inspect solids, shells, faces, wires, edges and vertices throughout the uploaded STEP model.
03
Surface Recognition
Identify planes, cylinders, cones, spheres, toruses and native B-Spline surfaces using Open CASCADE geometry.
04
Mass Properties
Calculate volume, surface area, centre of mass, inertia tensor, principal moments and principal axes.
05
Material Engineering
Apply engineering material density to calculate physical mass and material-dependent moments of inertia.
06
Manufacturing Preparation
Convert native CAD information into a structured record for process selection, technical review and quotation.
