DISCUS 3D
Benefits
With DISCUS 3D, you'll save even more time and money by working directly with the native 3D model.
- Identify characteristics on 3D CAD models – no more capturing screen shots from expensive CAD tools.
- Operates on native CAD model formats - CATIA, Pro/E, NX, SolidWorks and more. No conversion to CAD neutral format or no complex CAD tool to use
- Auto-balloon models containing PMI/Annotations
- Interrogate the model to extract characteristic requirements
