Simulations like installation or motion studies show you how the object
designed will behave in practical use - too late in many cases, however, i.e.
when the design phase is completed. SISCAD-P provides such simulations at a
much earlier state so that correction work is reduced to a minimum which, in
turn, will help you to save time and funds.
- Continuity
SISCAD-P takes your sketch as a given fact, i.e. as a basis for further
processing. As a consequence, you will not have to input the same data again.
- Motional
With SISCAD-P you can carry out simulations like installation or collision
studies as early as in the drafting phase. To animate the geometry just change
the variables or measures repeatedly by a defined value. You can even store the
images of the individual steps so that you get an impression of the motion of
the object designed.
- WYSIWYG - (What You See Is What You Get)
When creating an object with SISCAD-P you virtually see the possible result so
that modifications can be made at an early stage. You will never have to
discard the result of a day's work only because you find out too late that you
went the wrong way.
- Attentive
Individual menu guidance is a standard for SISCAD-P. Depending on the object
you are working on, SISCAD-P will offer you the CAD commands you used most
recently so that you won't need to select the next command from complex menus.
- Parametrical
The efficient application of the parametric design method is guaranteed by the
possibility of storing relative positions in terms of parallelism or
concentricity. Optimum adaptation to the prevailing boundary conditions, of
course, is possible at any time.
- Efficient
The potential of increasing efficiency through CAD is mainly based on
flexible modification and variant construction modes. SISCAD-P's parametric
design method supplies you with the most efficient tool to use this potential.
