SimLab’s dynamics simulation capabilities will also be accessible in ZW3D.
Dynamics simulations such as rigid-body and collision detection are performed by SimLab’s Simulation Workbench. By granting ZW3D users access to this workbench, they will be able to model and control the dynamic movements of their designs. These simulations will allow users to assess their designs and determine flaws earlier in the production cycle.
“We are very excited about this partnership. It gives our users a powerful toolset to create amazing visualizations and perform mechanism simulations efficiently,” said Colin Lin, director of ZWSOFT overseas business.

Additionally, the user will be able to set up active links so that changes in the SimLab Composer and ZW3D will sync automatically in both directions.
SimLab also offers rendering capabilities for ZW3D designs. This will give engineers the ability to add shadows, shading, bumps, surfacing and photo-realism to their 3D model. By sharing these images with their team, the engineer will be able to better express their ideas to non-technical teammates.
Once the user has rendered a model, engineers will be able to save the model as a 3D PDF or WebGL-based HTML file. This will allow the engineer to share the file with their team over multiple platforms including tablets and phones.
