The tool can currently accept data from the following:
Though many of the aforementioned venders have the capability to create 3D PDF themselves, the universality of the VCollab tool is noteworthy.
Users are able to create the PDF using a VCollab Professional plug-in. “Simulation has become a strategic tool in many organizations,” said Prasad Mandava, CEO of VCollab. “With the option to create 3D PDF in addition to the CAX models, simulation results can now be communicated to even more people involved in product development. Simulation reports are no longer restricted to 2D images either, bringing them more in line with today’s 3D processes.”
VCollab’s Suite is designed to improve the productivity and collaboration of CAE experts and the development team. With the addition of 3D PDF, more people will be able to receive simulation data within standard PDF viewing software.
