PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineers can
manipulate product geometries easier than ever – compressing
product development cycle times, thanks to the cutting-edge
advancements ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) delivered today as part of its
ANSYS® SpaceClaim™ 2015 release. The release
also enables fast and flexible 3-D printing.
The SpaceClaim release revolutionizes product development and
manufacturing workflows by enabling engineers to work faster
through such innovations as expansive editing and management of
faceted models, improved toolpath functionality for the machinist
and more complex geometry creation upgrades for anyone looking to
edit or create 3-D models.
"We continue to deliver breakthrough advancements that make
geometry more accessible and more useful for all engineers," said
Frank DeSimone, vice president of
software development at ANSYS. "With the resources of ANSYS behind
us, including strong collaboration with other ANSYS product
development teams, we're making it easier than ever for our
customers to create everything from complete virtual prototypes to
complex 3-D printouts."
Additional SpaceClaim improvements include imprint and wrap
tools for easier simulation edits, clean and detection
functionality, as well as improved integration with ANSYS
Workbench™ – which enable engineers to focus their time
and expertise on simulation analysis, not geometry preparation.
Computational fluid dynamics engineers, for example, can take
advantage of the new features in SpaceClaim to quickly extract the
fluid volume of designs instead of relying on CAD engineers to edit
geometries.
SpaceClaim's 3-D Printing module now includes more tools for
repairing models and analyzing print success. In addition, direct
editing of meshes with SpaceClaim's intuitive Pull and Move tools
are now available with the 2015 release, making it faster and
easier for users to get models ready for printing.
ANSYS has delivered a variety of other improvements to concept
design, manufacturing preparation, detailing and interoperability.
These enhancements enable users to make more efficient use of time,
engineering talent and materials as they pursue faster time to
market with better product designs. A full list of new features may

"The new enhancements in SpaceClaim have allowed me to design
the most complex version of my award-winning Perplexus 3-D
Labyrinth games in record time," said Mike
McGinnis, originator of Perplexus. "The tools are
significantly upgraded. In particular is the RELIEF tool, which has
saved me days in preparing files for CAM."
