CoreTechnologie has launched the latest version of its solution for simplifying complex CAD data. The latest version 4.9 of 3D_Evolution Simplifier makes greater use of information in 3D models, such as Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), attributes and design features, for targeted simplification. This enables the fully automated creation of light and precise digital twin models, designed for high-performance deployment across all 3D systems.

The 3D_Evolution Simplifier is used to remove the model’s internal geometry. Highly complex assemblies are converted into significantly reduced envelope geometry models in a matter of seconds. The individual models remain high-quality, closed CAD solid models, whilst bodies that are not visible from the outside are removed. At the same time, filter mechanisms utilise information like attributes and CAD metadata to automate the data simplification process. This results in lightweight, IP-protected models that are ideally suited for simulation, virtual factory planning and other 3D data-driven applications in the context of Industry 4.0.

The simplified envelope models accurately represent the visible shape of a product or system, whilst internal details are specifically removed.

The result is particularly lean data models that ensure high performance in visualisation, simulation and VR applications, whilst at the same time significantly improving the clarity of complex structures.
