MachineWorks Version 6.1 Released; v6.1 Enhanced Functionality of MachineWorks Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SHEFFIELD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2004 MachineWorks Ltd., the world's leading supplier of simulation and verification solutions, has announced today the release of MachineWorks(TM) v6.1. V6.1 has been led by the requirements of MachineWorks' customers. The MachineWorks team have listened to customer's issues and included their requirements in v6.1 enhancements. As Lucy Davies, Customer and Product Service Manager puts it, "We see customer support as an integral part of the product. We make every effort to provide appropriate support to the wide range of issues that arise from MachineWorks' partners." Some of the analytical enhancements include improved gouge gouge (gouj) a hollow chisel for cutting and removing bone. gouge n. A strong curved chisel used in bone surgery. gouge a hollow chisel for cutting and removing bone. and undercut reports throughout all four engines. In addition, it is possible to obtain information on the geometry of the solid, determining whether it is open or concave Concave Property that a curve is below a straight line connecting two end points. If the curve falls above the straight line, it is called convex. . MachineWorks has also carried out development on specific engines to harmonise capabilities across the full range of technologies. In Visicut, the most versatile MachineWorks engine, analytical geometry can now be attached to the solid model allowing target part comparison with True Surface refinement. Moreover, improved information from collision detection See CSMA/CD and collision avoidance system. (networking) collision detection - A class of methods for sharing a data transmission medium in which hosts transmit as soon as they have data to send and then check to see whether their transmission has suffered a collision with can be obtained to help analyse and visualise clashes more easily. In Multicut, collision detection with fixtures is now also available. However, the most noticeable of all enhancements is the support for real time rendering Displaying an image on screen fast enough to render it realistically. For example, a 3D game requires that the graphics system can process each frame quickly enough to show realistic motion. See render and graphics accelerator. using OpenGL. The advanced features such as shadows and texture maps allow rendering in all simulation engines.
