Capvidia releases new CompareVidia 2010 for validation of 3D CAD models

The CompareVidia application for validation of 3D CAD models has been further extended with the new functions. The performance improvement gives 30% boost compared with the previous release.

The floating license configuration provides a flexible solution for multi-user environment at discounted price.
The new wire-frame object validation opens possibility to include in the validation process auxiliary to 3D model objects as i.e. PMI describing manufacturing or dimension tolerances.

The report summarizing the validation results can be read back into CompareVidia for further detailed analysis of all entities causing the validation process to fail. The idea is to run the validation once and have possibility to investigate the results later. This also has an impact on archiving the validation results. An old report can be easily retrieved and investigated in more details at any time.

The support of native CAD formats has been updated to the latest version:

* CATIA 4 (*.model;*.exp) CATIA 4.1.9 – CATIA 4.2.4
* CATIA 5 (*.CATPart;*.CATProduct) R2 – R19
* Unigraphics (*.prt), version 11 to 18, NX to NX6
* Unigraphics Assembly (*.prt), version 11 to 18, NX to NX6
* ProE (*.asm;*.asm.*;*.prt.*)
* Inventor (*.ipt;*.iam) (ipt - version 6-2010) (iam version 11-2010)
* ACIS (*.sat;*.sab), version up to ACIS R20
* STEP (*.stp;*.step)

CompareVidia supports now Windows 7 and is available in both 32 and -64-bit versions.

CompareVidia is being successfully used by numerous Boeing and Airbus suppliers in the US and Europe complying with the highest level of quality and validation procedures such as ISO 9002 and Boeing B6-51991, etc. for digital MDB.

Jorge Loutzenhiser - Quality Assurance Manager of MillworX Precision Machining, Inc. comments: "CompareVidia works like a Charm! We are very pleased with our purhase so far. Easy to learn; validation process quicker and easier than we expected."
