VCollab's solutions are designed to dramatically reduce the large CAE file
sizes, so that they can easily be shared, viewed and manipulated by experts as
well as non-experts, using an easy to use VCollab viewer, without the native
authoring applications installed. VCollab solutions allow users to present
design and analysis CAD/CAE data by embedding it into MS-Office applications
and HTML pages. This allows (in contrast to standard 2D images) to manipulate
3D objects during presentations or design reviews pan, zoom, rotate, cut by
planes etc.

|
VCollab solution comprises of the following 3 tools.
|
VMoveCAE :
A translator to directly read native CAE files and convert the large results files into smaller VCollab files based on user inputs.
|
VCollab Presenter :
A light Weight 3D Viewer to view the CAE results as light weight VCollab files. With VCollab Presenter, users can access the CAE results from different CAE software from desktop/laptop or PowerPoint Slides or WEB pages, with out the need to have or use the native CAE tools.
|
VCollab Pro :
A scalable high performance visualization tool for creating, manipulating and viewing of large 3D CAD/CAE data on Desktops/Laptops. With VCollab Pro, users can create and modify the light weight VCollab files. CAD designs and CAE results can be combined and viewed as one visual 3D file. VR or 3D stereo capability of VCollab Pro helps teams to have immersive visualization of the 3D Products. VCollab Pro also works as a tool to convert CAD data from many popular CAD packages into VCollab files.

Natively supported CAE files in VCollab Solution:
|
- ABAQUS
- ANSYS
- MSC Nastran
- NX Nastran
- LS DYNA
- Fluent
|
|
Using VCollab solutions, the large CAE files can be converted into very small VCollab 3D visual files. The light weight VCollab file sizes can get reduced up to 98%, making it easier to achieve or share or reuse CAE files.

Benefits to the Product Development Companies
|
|
Presentations:CAE managers/Analysts can easily embed the light weight VCollab files into MS Office Documents for 3D Presentation / Design Reviews of CAE results. CAD designs and CAE results can be combined into one VCollab file for powerful product presentations.
|
|
Managing CAE reviews in the out sourcing scenario: One of the biggest issues in CAE out sourcing is the design review of the CAE results, due to the large file sizes of the results files. VCollab solutions allow suppliers to present design and analysis CAD/CAE data by emailing the results for review or by embedding it into PowerPoint slides or HTML pages. This allows (in contrast to standard 2D images) to manipulate 3D parts/results, during presentations or design reviews (pan, zoom, rotate, cut by planes etc.) improving the efficiency of the outsourcing projects.
|
|
Archival of CAE results: 3D CAE results can also be embedded into MS Word documents in the form of light weight VCollab files for easier archival.
|
|
Reduce storage and network costs: The ultra compact sizes of VCollab files help to reduce the storage space, file transfer time and save network bandwidth.
|
|
Sharing or re-use of CAE results: Due to the smaller sizes of the VCollab files, it is lot easier to share the CAE results with peers and customers. Sharing could be thru e-mail or thru WEB interface or thru existing PLM/ERP systems. The selected / important CAE results can be easily embedded/published into corporate/Intranet WEB pages for easier access using browsers. This capability helps IT departments / corporate to easily manage CAE data thru their PLM / ERP infrastructure.
|
|
Collaboration among peers or global design centers: The smaller file sizes and the easy to use 3D Viewer, along with the collaboration capabilities, improves the collaboration among global design and analysis teams leading to faster product development cycles saving cost and time and improving the productivity of Engineer
