SolidDesigner Modeling Pack is the first step in implementing CoCreate's collaborative product-development environment. This package, which offers a complete solids-modeling environment, including design, annotation and data exchange, incorporates all of the existing SolidDesigner functionality for parts design, assembly construction and detailed drawing creation. The pack includes CoCreate's innovative Dynamic Modeling Open Extensions (DMOX) technology, which fully supports the reuse and modification of 3-D legacy data and history-based models created using non-CoCreate 3-D CAD systems. The SolidDesigner Modeling Pack also includes all industry-standard interfaces, including IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) An ANSI file format that is system independent and also intended for human interpretation. Evolving out of the U.S. 3D, STEP, STL (STereoLithography) A 3D printing file format created by 3D Systems for its stereolithography system. Also supported by many numerical control, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing machines, STL provides the surface geometry of the item in triangles. , SAT, VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) A 3D graphics language used on the Web. After downloading a VRML page, its contents can be viewed, rotated and manipulated. Simulated rooms can be "walked into." The VRML viewer is launched from within the Web browser. and IGES 2D. SolidDesigner Teamwork Pack is an add-on to the SolidDesigner Modeling Pack and extends the solids-modeling solution by increasing the productivity of individual and team-based processes. Benefits of this pack include easy sharing of 3-D data and non-geometric data within and outside of design teams, part classifications, security access, design and drawing management, and the automatic creation and management of bills of materials. This pack includes SolidDesigner Dynamic Relations, SolidDesigner Design Information, SolidDesigner Viewer, WorkManager Desktop for the SolidDesigner Document Management Integration bundle and the WorkManager Desktop BOM bundle. When configuring the SolidDesigner Teamwork Pack, a customer also must purchase the corresponding WorkManager database server products separately. SolidDesigner Styling Pack also is an addition to the SolidDesigner Modeling Pack, and provides advanced surfacing and styling features. It provides the ability to manage the relationships between electrical-design groups and mechanical-design groups by offering the exchange of printed circuit board (PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. ) information and the corresponding mechanical housing. The SolidDesigner Styling Pack consists of the SolidDesigner Surfacing module and the PCB Interface Module.
