The pair, which announced a licensingdeal in 2009 that entitles ANSYS to offer the SpaceClaim product as part of itssimulation software portfolio, targets the bundle at analysts who work in the3-D world, but who don't want to become experts in traditional, feature-basedCAD tools. ANSYS SpaceClaim Direct Modeler 2010 SP1 enables product developmentand design engineers to create and modify 3-D geometry models without needingto learn complex and expensive CAD systems, allowing for simulation to beconducted earlier in the product development process where it can have the mostimpact on performance, cost and time-to-market, company officials said.

New functionality in ANSYSSpaceClaim Direct Modeler 2010 SP1 includes the ability to directly create andedit SpaceClaim designs directly from the ANSYS Workbench project schematic. Inaddition, simultaneous associativity capabilities now automatically updateparameters and name selections between SpaceClaim and ANSYS Workbench.

Other additions to the upgradeinclude enhanced repair features that make it easier to clean up dirtygeometry, new automatic inlet and outlet detection algorithms for expeditingvolume extraction, beam modeling support for cross-section optimization and anew extend tool for trimming and extending between curves and surfaces tofacilitate beam and shell modeling.
