ViaCAD V11 New FeaturesOverview2D Dimension and ConstraintsDimension and constraint tools are now available to manage the geometric relationships between 2D shapes. These relationships are used to remember design intent of 2D sketches, which typically drive 3D solids. Modifying any object within a system of constraints will update all other dependent objects accordingly.Highlights of the Dimension and Constraint tools are implementation:—Thirteen Geometric Constraints —Dimension Constraints —Variable and Equations —Constraint Animation—Auto Constrain—Animate Dimension and ConstraintsProducts : ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D/3D, ViaCAD Pro Video : Constraint Tool Palette and Variables DialogExample Animation of a Simple Constrained SystemLeft Figure : Constrained Profile with Dimensions Right Figure : Extruded Part From Constrained Profile with Shell FeaturesArc Radius Animated between 3 and 5 inches preserving design constraints such as tangency, concentricity, and lengthCLICK IMAGE TO ANIMATEA new command to duplicate a layer and all the objects in that layer is now available through Concept Explorer. To access this command, place your cursor over the layer you want to duplicate, right click, and select the Duplicate command.If you Duplicate a sub layer, the new duplicated layer is promoted to a first level layer.Products : ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D/3D, ViaCAD Pro Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999. V11 now supports importing and exporting to this new format.The new SVG Import/Export provides an alternative to using the Adobe Illustrator format for sharing vector based (scalable) graphics.

Defined by U and V through the three parametric formulas:f(x) = U*cos(V)f(y) = U*sin(V)f(z) = 0.2*U^2Some predefined formulas available from a drop down for the designer include: —Sine Wave —Parabolids —Moebius strip —Klien Bottle —Double Spring —Barrel Spring —Hour Glass Spring —Sine or Twisted TubesProducts : ViaCAD Pro, SharkCAD ProExample Surfaces from LawsA spur gear is one of the simplest and most common gears types. A spur gear consists of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. Spur gears are typically mounted in series to achieve large gear reductions and found in washing machines, alarm clocks and other devices.The spur gear teeth in ViaCAD use an involute curve. The involute curve is the curve traced by a point on a straight line with rolls without slipping.Spur Gears in ViaCAD are defined with the following parameters.—Number of Teeth—Module—Pressure Angle—Cone Angle—Clearance—Involute Samples—Inner Hole Diameter—ThicknessProducts : PowerPackSpur Gear Profile Extruded into a 3D PartThe 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) is a 3D printing format that allows design applications to send full-fidelity 3D models to other applications, platforms, services, and printers. The long term goal of the 3MF consortium is to replace STL as the industry standard format for 3D printing. Highlights of the ViaCAD implementation are listed below:—Supports UNIT description flag—Color Attributes —Textures (PNG, JPG) & UV Coordinates—Support for full color 3D PrintingThe 3MF consortium founding members include Microsoft, AutoDesk, Dassault Systems, 3D Systems, Siemens, PTC, HP, and ShapeWays. Check out the thousands of MicroSoft Paint 3D 3MF models in Windows 10 imported into ViaCAD 11!Products : ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D3D, ViaCAD Pro Variety of 3MF Imports from Paint 3DVRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is a file format used to describe 3D interactive graphics for the world wide web. Although replaced by other file formats, VRML is still popular in some circles. In fact VRML is one of the few formats that can be used to define a fully colored 3D print model*.The image to the right is a VRML 2.0 file with textures uploaded to Shapeways. Shape ways has the ability to print this type of a model using SandStone suitable for figurines and sculptures.*3MF will replace this feature at some point but many print bureaus such as Shapeways do not yet support 3MF.Products : ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D3D, ViaCAD Pro ViaCAD VRML with Textures Exported to ShapewaysFull Color Print Cost Estimate (~$22 for 3 inch model)THE OBJ file format was updated

Surface or closed creating a Solid.V11 introduces the ability to specify a path. The path defines the flow of the surface between the sections. Specifing a path means you may be able to define less sections which may produce a more overall smooth surfaces.Restrictions—Path must be one G2 smooth curve—Path must be perpendicular at a section intersectionVideo : : SharkCAD Pro, ViaCAD ProSkinning with Centerline PathExample SkinRectangle to Circle along a PathSome design tasks prefer higher order curves such as arcs, circles, and/or ellipses over lines. For example sharing data with a plasma or water jet cutting CNC system or extruding a profile into a solid and later adding edge treatments. V11 introduces the Simplify Curve tool to assist in this task.Covert Lines or Polylines into:—Arcs—Circles—Ellipses—SplinesProducts : ViaCAD 2D, ViaCAD 2D/3D, ViaCAD Pro Furniture or counter top designers often need to add an edge to their designs for either decorative or functional purposes. Adding these edges can be time consuming especially if the underlying length, width, or height is changed.Edge features introduced in V11 provide a means to rapidly define parametric edges used in wood, marble, or granite designs.Some predefined edge treatments include: —Cove —Rounds —Rounds with Beaded Offset —Full, Half, and Beaded Ogee —Waves —Bullnose, Half Bullnose —Custom EdgeProducts : ViaCAD ProStopped Chamfers are a new solid modeling feature in V11. A Stopped Chamfer replaces an edge with a bevel, typically for decorative purpose. The bevel starts and ends by a user specified value.Parameters used to define a Stopped Chamfer are;—Chamfer Length—Distance from Start—Distances from EndThe transition rolls off using a smooth arc simulating the path of a router bit.As with other features, the user can modify any of these parameters during the design process to explore alternative shapes quickly. Products : ViaCAD Pro Railing with Four Stopped ChamfersThreads (Precise & Cosmetic) Threads are a common feature used in fasteners. Threads in ViaCAD are defined with the following parameters.—Inner Thread—Outer Thread—Pitch—Length—Starting locationPresise ThreadsAccurately modeled threads via helix on ACIS models. Products : PowerPackOuter and Inner Thread ExamplesRegenerative design or algorithmic modeling is a method in which designers use and tweak formulas to create complex shapes that would otherwise be very difficult to design. V11 introduces the ability to use parametric formulas to design NURB shapes.Formulas are defined by users specifying how x, y, and z relate to a parameterized equation (UV). For example a simple Paraboloid NURB surface is
