Phoenix Integration unveiled CAD Fusion, plug-ins for integrating the company's flagship PHX ModelCenter software with leading CAD/CAE applications.
Engineering design is typically divided into conceptual (low-fidelity models) and preliminary design phases (high-fidelity models). The handoff from one team to the other leads to process inefficiencies, errors, and reworks. The CAD Fusion plug-ins, however, allow for a common, collaborative design environment for both teams, resulting in a shorter design process with fewer reworks.
CAD Fusion enables conceptual designers to link with CAD applications as part of their design optimization process using PHX Model Center; thus, high-fidelity CAD tools are introduced earlier into the process. Furthermore, CAD variables and design geometry are integrated with optimization trade studies to ...
