Spatial Announces the Release of 2019 1.0

Driving improvements across the Spatial product offering, enhancing the workflows of targeted industries

BROOMFIELD, Colo. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 13, 2018 — Spatial Corp, the leading provider of 3D software development toolkits for design, manufacturing, and engineering solutions, and a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, announces today the production release of 2019 1.0, delivering improved workflows, performance and functionality improvements, as well as enhanced interoperability. This release also delivers targeted solutions supporting building information modeling (BIM) applications.

BIM Suite

This release includes the Spatial BIM Suite, composed of interoperability, 3D modeling and visualization solutions. The BIM Suite allows solution developers to solve the data chaos in the construction industry that limits BIM adoption and leads to significant costs for end users including wasted time coordinating manual processes, material waste, plus change order and litigation expenses. For more details, see the focused companion release, “ Spatial Announces the Availability of its BIM Suite.”

3D InterOp

In addition to enhancements specific to the BIM Suite, release 2019 1.0 includes several enhancements for 3D InterOp:

CGM Core Modeler

To make input operations faster and more robust, CGM can now derive canonical information from B-splines, modifying the input body by examining the input faces. Any faces which are geometrically a plane, cylinder or torus are now identified and converted.

This release enhances CGM’s automatic feature detection and removal capabilities by now being able to detect pad and pocket direction. This new capability enables additional automation of downstream operations so that application developers and their users can improve ease of use and efficiency.

CGM Polyhedra

CGM Polyhedra users also see a number of benefits with this new release:

3D ACIS Modeler

Spatial continues to deliver Boolean performance improvements with this release, delivering several changes to the algorithm to increase performance, with significant gains for very large models. Moreover, Boolean robustness has been enhanced when splitting imported periodic faces.

Also included in this release are three improvements targeting enhancing customer workflows and productivity:

Local operators, sheet thicken and sheet extend, also saw improvements with this release.

HOOPS Visualize

Web and mobile visualization can now be extended to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices and workflows with this release. In addition to new AR/VR support, this release delivers the ability to provide photo-realistic 3D visualizations with a new physically based rendering capability.

With this release, applications running DirectX 11 on Windows can now query the host machine for the types of installed graphics cards, allowing an application to automatically select the card offering the best performance.
