Viewer PartXplore 2015 - New Features and Improvements WorkXplore 3D renamed PartXplore. A wide range of new features and improvements have been introduced in the new 2015 version to meet demands concerning mobility, realistic animations and quicker processing of large ﬁles. New “Mobile Xplore” Application Thanks to the new ‘Mobile Xplore’ application, PartXplore can now export geometric data (models, 3D models, ancillary data such as annotations, measurements, wireframes) for this new application dedicated to Android and IOS mobile platforms allowing rapid distribution of PartXplore data to selected recipients wherever they may be located. The recipient is no longer restricted to the use of a PC. This new application further enhances the notion of mobility which already exists in PartXplore thanks to the ‘Client-Viewer’ function. Communication with mobile devices Re-engineered Animation Engine The animation engine has been completely reviewed to make animation sequences more realistic whilst making the animation creation process much simpler. In this new version, animation creation is time-based and no longer according to the number of positions. Several movements for a part or a group of parts can be deﬁned. These can be simple individual movements or a set of combined movements. This new process means that all movements within an assembly can be validated and, for example, allow collisions to be detected or be used in conjunction with procedural documentation to ensure correct assembly. New advanced animation engine Batch Mode File Conversion A new, independent tool for converting very large native or standard CAD ﬁles (or a large number of ﬁles) to the PartXplore format. In previous versions, the application could not be used during the ﬁle conversion process. From now on, ﬁle processing is fully automated and is totally transparent. Users can continue working normally with the application. Requests for conversion can be triggered by the user or the tool itself if it has been programmed to process certain ﬁles at predetermined locations when they are modiﬁed or created. Conversion process management Viewer Entity Management Improvements All entities - both model and wireframe - which are present in the CAD ﬁle are shown in the assembly tree structure. A tree assembly search function based on entity names is now available and wildcard characters (* and ?) are also supported. Entity management is now much easier; they can be searched, grouped together, classiﬁed... Amélioration de l’ergonomie Improved ergonomics ISO File Simulation Until now it was not possible to display ISO NC ﬁles. This type of ﬁle can now be analyzed and simulated. The source ﬁle and the 3D model ﬁle are positionally synchronized allowing precise simulation of the cutter trajectory. Analysis, performed when reading the ﬁle, allows any errors to be detected; for example, errors related to circular interpolation. Réparations avancées des modèles solides Precise ISO CN ﬁle analysis and simulation Surface « patching » It may occure that certain part surfaces are missing after a ﬁle has been imported and this can be detrimental when analyzing a part. The new surface patch function allows this problem to be resolved. Users can now create surfaces by deﬁning contour curves and if these are based on existing surface edges, patched surfaces can be made to be tangent to the existing surfaces. Internal curves can also be added to give a better deﬁnition to the form of the patched surfaces. Advanced solid model repairing Numerous features and improvements... The wide range of new features and improvements introduced in this new version offer greater ﬂexibility to PartXplore throughout the whole production process, including steps such as purchasing, quotations, design and marketing. - Generating bills of Materials, - Line thickness selection of dynamic sectioning, - Solidworks Import, - Link curves, - Importing Solidworks 2D...
