Geometric Software Releases GeomCaliper™ Version 2.0 for Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA V5® Leverages the power of 64 Bit computing for checking wall thickness of 3D models within CATIA V5®

MUMBAI, India. August 22, 2007 – Geometric Software Solutions, a leader in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services and technologies, and a Dassault Systèmes CAA V5 Gold Partner, today announced the release of GeomCaliperTM for CATIA V5® with support for 64 Bit Windows XP.

GeomCaliper is an innovative tool for measuring and checking wall thickness of CATIA V5 3D models. It is easy to use and can be accessed within a CATIA V5 session, providing immediate feedback to designers during the design process itself. Among other applications, it helps 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.

In this new release, available for CATIA V5 R16 and R17, designers will be able to perform sophisticated thickness analysis on 64 bit machines.
“GeomCaliper lets user make semi-automatic 3D analysis on the entire model,” said Mario BASILE, PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN. “GeomCaliper input data are exactly the same data that are produced from user, no additional pre processing is needed: GeomCaliper reads directly CATIA V5 files!” He further added, “GeomCaliper integration in PSA environment has been easy and low cost; its interface with CATIA V5 is good and improved at every new release.”

Benefits of GeomCaliper™

  • Quick and easy design checks for manufacturability
  • Early analysis and design correction results in improved part quality and downstream cost savings
  • Improved design productivity

Innovative tool for advanced thickness measurement now fully integrated within CATIA V5® interface

MUMBAI, India, April 17, 2007 – Geometric Software Solutions (Geometric), a leader in product life-cycle management (PLM) services and technologies and a Dassault Systèmes CAA V5 Gold Partner, today announced the release of GeomCaliper TM version 2.0 for CATIA V5®.

GeomCaliper is an innovative tool for measuring and checking wall thickness. In this new fully integrated release, available for CATIA V5 R15 and later versions, designers will be able to perform sophisticated thickness analysis without ever leaving their CATIA session.

“GeomCaliper has proven to be a valuable tool in our campaign to keep quality up and costs down,” said Scott Lanski, Design Manager at Daimler Chrysler Corporation. “Integrating GeomCaliper into our design process has resulted in a 75% reduction in the time taken to check wall thickness of complex models and also allowed us to discover those hidden critical areas that otherwise may have gone undetected.”

By providing immediate design feedback and significant time savings in thickness analysis, GeomCaliper quickly locates thin areas in plastic molded components that may result in warps, thick sections in castings that may result in hot spots, or other hidden critical regions.

“For customers designing castings or products made of plastic parts, in processes such as automotive powertrain or consumer goods design, wall thickness analysis is an important step to be embedded within the whole engineering process,” said Philippe Laufer, vice president CATIA R&D, Dassault Systèmes. “With its precise thickness computation methods and innovative visualization, GeomCaliper, developed by our Gold Partner, Geometric Software, is a perfect tool for wall thickness analysis, complementing CATIA PLM Solutions; I foresee enthusiastic acceptance of this product by our installed base.

A free 15-day trial version is available from http://geomcaliper.geometricglobal.com/. A basic version of GeomCaliper is available in Part Design workbench for visualization and analysis.
