GeomCaliper

Features: Geometric Software Solutions has announced the launch of

GeomCaliper for Pro/Engineer Wildfire. GeomCaliper is an innovative tool for

measuring and checking the wall thickness of Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3D models. It

is easy to use and can be accessed within a Wildfire session, providing

immediate feedback to designers during the design process itself.








Among other applications, it will help engineers to quickly detect thin areas in
plastic molded components that may result into warps, or thick sections in

castings that may result in hot spots. Minimal training is required to use the

tool and interpret the generated results.






GeomCaliper provides users with quick and accurate thickness calculation, easy
to locate critical thickness areas, advanced visualization for easy

interpretation of results, ability to clip model at any section, dynamic

thickness display at point click, compute thickness at selected region, and

customizable reports in XML /HTML format. It is based on PTC's Pro/Toolkit and

leverages the mature API provided by PTC to 3rd party developers.






Iain Michel, PTC's director of partner programs, said, "GeomCaliper is an
innovative tool that provides a point solution for thickness measurements and

complements PTC/Wildfire's offerings. Geometric is an Advantage Partner at the

Gold level and brings innovative products to PTC's users which accelerates

design productivity within Wildfire."
