Solid modelling kernel to speed customers 3D design and product development. (News).


Autodesk (Autodesk, Inc., San Rafael, CA, www.autodesk.com) A leading provider of computer-aided design (CAD) software, founded in 1982. It introduced AutoCAD in its first year, and three years later, became the first PC CAD company to go public.  will begin development of a dedicated 3D modelling kemel, named Autodesk ShapeManager, to be incorporated in Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Inventor is the 3D parametric solid modeling package produced by U.S.-based software company Autodesk. It competes with other CAD systems such as SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER, and Solid Edge.  and other Autodesk design software. The ShapeManager based on the ACIS 7.0 kernel The nucleus of an operating system. It is the closest part to the machine level and may activate the hardware directly or interface to another software layer that drives the hardware.  will allow users to build and modify complex virtual models, which require sophisticated mathematical computations to define three-dimensional design intent. Autodesk has a large development team with experience in solid modelling and development of the ACIS kernel, will erentc a purpose- built, feature-based modelling engine for Autodesk Inventor for the needs of 3D users in manufacturing.
