Cimmetry Ships AutoVue 18 - Bridging the Gap Between MCAD & EDA in a Digital Mockup Environment

MONTREAL -(MARKots) Cimmetry Systems, the global leader in
Visualization and Collaboration solutions for the A/E/C, Engineering,
Manufacturing and Electronics markets, today announced that AutoVue
18 is released and shipping. With AutoVue 18, Visualization and
Collaboration functionality has gone beyond the conventional to
include Digital Mockup (DMU) and design validation.
"With AutoVue 18, Cimmetry has included MCAD and EDA functionality
that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional viewing & markup
applications," says Martyn Day, Group Editor at cadserver, MCAD and
AEC Magazines. "By providing multiple CAD digital mockup (DMU),
AutoVue has become a powerful design validation tool for engineering
teams which may run different CAD systems, in different geographical
locations. The ability to combine multi-source electronics and
mechanical parts, components and assemblies in a DMU environment and
perform analysis, such as clash detection, will prove invaluable for
the growing number of EDA and MCAD designers. These are unique
capabilities and strengthen Cimmetry's position in the engineering
market. It's very impressive."
Ken Versprille, Partner, PLM Research Director at CPDA says,
"AutoVue 18's digital mockup is a leap forward in visualization and
collaboration technology that will help bridge the gap between EDA,
3D mechanical design, and manufacturing. The product's strong
capabilities in 3D interference checking, EDA design verification,
and innovative cross-probe functionality make it a leading solution
for manufacturing companies."
AutoVue 18 adds support for many new formats and contains
significant new features that include:
Digital Mockup (DMU)

       files, regardless of file format, to create a virtual assembly
       including: CATIA, Pro/E, UG, SolidWorks, Inventor, JT, Solid 
       Edge, etc.
   --  The ability to combine native MCAD and EDA (3D PCBs) in a 
       digital mockup
   --  Precise part alignment and constraint definition
