Description :
- Based on a lightweight, open, XML-based architecture.
- Fun-to-use desktop product that allows users in sales, marketing, customer service, training, support, and manufacturing to create associative 2D and 3D product deliverables directly from digital product data – without requiring CAD knowledge or CAD training.
- Create 3D interactive documents such as interactive assembly or service procedures.
- Add annotations, labels, dimensions, arrows, images, and cutting planes that can be used in any way and format the user wishes.
- Control visual consistency of content through the use of styles.
- Output industry-standard file formats, including PDF, HTML, AVI and graphics formats like SVG and CGM.
- Document the product while it may still be incomplete and provide a way to update all deliverables quickly and easily.
- Use occlusion detection to find internal, non-visible parts on a single view, all views, and/or the animation timeline.
- Use decimation to reduce the tessellation of selected parts and reduce the size of the .smg file.
- Import FT&A tolerance annotations, views, and captures from CATIA V5 to fully leverage model-based definition information in 3DVIA Composer.
- "Right Manager" controls 3DVIA Composer Player access to functionality such as: creating annotations, measurements, and cross-sections, updating views, saving changes to disk, viewing the assembly and collaboration trees, kinematic definitions, and freezing future modification and publication of the data by non-authorized users..
- Password protect the 3DVIA Composer file with 32-bit AES encryption. Set an expiration date that will prevent the 3DVIA Composer file to be opened in 3DVIA Composer Player after a specified date or time period. Freeze the publication to prevent the 3DVIA Composer file from being opened in another 3DVIA Composer session, and thus only operate in the 3DVIA Composer Player.
- Use "Secure3D" to reduce the accuracy of the 3D mesh to help prevent accurate reverse engineering by 3D printing or screen-scraping technologies.
- Use ShadowCaster to automate the creation of contour lines and shadows that a technical illustrator would normally draw by hand.
- Publish 3D interactive documentation to 3dvia.com an experience the content on-line.
Customer benefits :
Before 3DVIA Composer, creating graphical content for product documentation was a costly, error-prone process which had to be repeated, usually from the start, for any product or process change. Now, by using 3DVIA Composer, users can:
- Deliver products more quickly to market
- Quickly and easily incorporate changes into their documentation images
- Reduce product documentation costs
- Improve manufacturing yield rates with 3D interactive assembly instructions
- Provide more comprehensive training materials by leveraging 3D information
- Improve customer service through delivery of crystal clear interactive documentation
- Produce product documentation content in parallel with the design of the product
- Reuse 3D product data in departments such as sales, marketing, customer service, training, support and manufacturing
- Increase the value of 3D information while ensuring the creation of accurate, always-current deliverables
