EnSuite updated with useful tools for Collaboration and Design Validation

EnSuite version 2 now offers the ability to add redlining, mark-up callouts, and standard shapes and text to any model. This feature enables users who do not have access to the originating CAD system to participate in the design review process. In many cases, an inefficient paper-based review process can be converted to a much more efficient electronic process.

The interference/clearance checking feature enables the user to select any component or assembly and immediately call out any volume interferences and contact surfaces that are highlighted in color. The software can also be used to identify parts with clearances below any value selected by the user. The user can change the clearance value and EnSuite will dynamically update the list by showing parts that fall within the new clearance value. The output separately identifies parts with interferences, contact surfaces and clearances below the value specified by the user. This new feature is ideally suited for validating design for manufacturability.

The upgraded version of EnSuite also lists the parent/child information for each part in an assembly. This information can for example help purchasing identify all of the parts in an assembly in preparation for make or buy decisions.

The latest EnSuite update will be available to all active subscription license customers as well as to new customers.

EnSuite goes far beyond the capabilities of conventional viewers and translators by providing a wide range of productivity tools for accessing critical engineering information. EnSuite prevents users from saving changes to the master CAD model to protect integrity of the master model. Licenses are automatically administered and the product updated over the Internet.

EnSuite is designed for companies that work in a multi-CAD environment, such as those used by customers, vendors and partners. EnSuite provides seamless interoperability with CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER, Unigraphics, and SolidWorks CAD systems as well as Parasolid, IGES and STEP files. Files can be translated to and from any of these formats without the native CAD software.
