Inovate

Inovate is a low-cost, easy-to-use 3-D desktop product for creating, modifying, interrogating and communicating 3-D designs. It is the ideal 3-D design collaboration tool from concept through production and the perfect 3-D desktop complement to today's leading CAD systems. Its radical drag-and-drop 3-D environment delivers unmatched ease-of-use, speed, design flexibility and power--making it the most productive 3-D concept design and communication tool available. The latest release of Inovate offers a set of tools so flexible they can be used standalone or as a component of a larger PLM solution.

Inovate bridges the gap between today's viewer technology and a full-blown CAD seat. It is perfectly suited for situations where 3-D design concepts have to be verified prior to being committed to a formal detail design process. It allows the quick exploration of 3-D design concepts and the communication of those ideas through photo-realistic images and realistic motion animations as part of the collaborative process. Its dual-kernel (ACIS and Parasolid) architecture and support for CATIA V5 and Pro/E Granite translators make it the perfect collaboration tool.

Some of the key advantages of using Inovate are the following:

Ease-Of-Use

Whether you are working with models, creating a rendering or doing an animation, the same basic concepts of drag and drop, right mouse property access and handles are utilized throughout, making Inovate the easiest and most cost-effective 3-D design conceptualization tool available. It is based on the same award-winning user interface technology as IronCAD. INOVATE allows casual users to design fast and effectively without concerning themselves with constraints, parametrics and feature trees mandated by today's leading systems.

Design Conceptualization

From concept, through detail design, to unpredictable pre/post production changes, Inovate is the first new modeling architecture that can effectively be used throughout a product's entire life cycle. It is a product that allows true Creative Design exploration and verification at each stage of the product development process.

Design Visualization

The integration of powerful, high-end visualization and animation technologies into the core of Inovate makes the entire design process faster, more productive and easier to understand.

Design Communication

Inovate supports a rich set of data translators (IGES, STEP, ACIS, Parasolid, CATIA V4-V5, Pro/E Granite, STL and more) that allow it to exchange data with all of today's leading CAD systems. Once in Inovate, the user can fully edit the model data (not just a subset of recognized features) enabling true upstream and downstream design collaboration. This makes Inovate the perfect desktop companion for your existing CAD tools.
