Optimizing DMU Processes

Tuesday 13. December 2016 - The software company CoreTechnologie has developed a new software with innovative tools for DMU process optimization.

With the latest version of 3D_Evolution 4.0, the German-French software manufacturer CoreTechnologie provides an innovative software to optimize DMU processes. The so-called “DMU Inspector Software Suite” has functions such as collision and clearance control as well as a geometric model comparison. Due to the multiprocessor calculation and an intelligent neighbour search, the calculation is accelerated and scalable. Calculation takes place on the exact B-Rep description so that a precise distinction can be made between contact and penetration.

Using the new software, work is being made clearly easier for users due to a clearly arranged, graphically based presentation of results. Supplementing this, the module “3D_Analyser” quickly visualises the analysis results as 3D models enabling a simple geometric security of large volumes.

In order to manage numerous product variants and development statuses, special filter functions are carried out in the DMU Inspector Software Suite as well as an intelligent calculation of different revisions. In case of a renewed revision of a volume, only modified parts and their neighbours are considered whereby calculation time is minimized. During the process, fingerprints of allowed collisions can be saved so that they are marked as irrelevant in components which are used again several times. The tool is flexibly useable for common formats such as JT with PLMXML data structure as well as CATIA V5, NX and Creo.
