Spatial Corp. announces 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp R22. The release supports Spatial’s commitment to enhance ACIS and 3D InterOp based on developer and end-user needs. ACIS R22 introduces an innovative approach for uncovering the root cause of modeling failures, enhances point cloud capabilities and performance, and offers new functions for improving modeling robustness. 3D InterOp R22 suite of translators includes support for additional format-specific attributes and provides support for the latest CAD versions.
In ACIS R22, one area of focus was raising the level of transparency of the modeler’s error reporting to aid developers in determining the root cause of an issue. When an operation fails, the responsible geometrical complexities and all possible related factors are identified. With this information, including descriptive error messages and references to the problematic entities, developers are able to efficiently address encountered failures. In addition, several new capabilities were added for dimensional metrology applications, including a new point cloud data structure with a high-performance selection mechanism, a registration API for aligning a point cloud with the design model, and integration with the entity-point-distance calculation API to improve ease of use. Lastly, new APIs for addressing topology irregularities improve the overall robustness of the modeler. Read More
