This week the visualization team moved into our new building. Kisters headquarter has now grown to this area:

06/15/2020 | Tag : DMU Digital Mockup

Find a few impressions of typical Digital Mockup (DMU) functions of Kisters 3DViewStation. Yes, we allow to load CAD data from various sources, which we call MultiCAD-DMU. But we do also do all these kind of analysis like clash, clearance (distance band), wall thickness, draft angle, undercut, split, convex hull, neutral fiber calculation and more...

04/01/2020 | Tag : 2d drawings 2D Zeichnung Zeichnung Font Ersatz font substitution

2D drawings may contain a set of fonts, which are typically not included with the drawing file, but which need to be installed on the local system in order to render the drawing correctly. So far we allowed to substitute all fonts by a configurable single one. 3DViewStation now will prompt, if one or several fonts could not be found and allows to maintain a font substitution table, assigning different fonts to each one, which could not be found.

03/31/2020 | Tag : model tree Strukturbaum

Sometimes it is convenient to merge several objects into a single one, which will reduce the number of nodes. This might simplify the future processing of an assembly, re-selecting a group of objects instead of just the clicked one, less nodes for clash...We now added a new option, which allows to select several subassemblies inside the structure tree and will merge each sub-tree to a single object. 

03/30/2020 | Tag : clash Clash detection Kollisionskontrolle

We did a complete redesign of our clash: much faster, many more options to calculate values of interesst, much better display of results...
