 Mastercam Reseller to offer CAD Model Validation to Manufacturing Suppliers
Leuven, Belgium – July 8, 2010 - Capvidia, a Belgium company, is proud to announce that QTE Manufacturing Solutions of St. Louis, MO will resell Capvidia products. Under the terms of the agreement, QTE Manufacturing Solutions will provide sales and support of Capvidia’s CompareVidia product helping Boeing suppliers to comply with Boeing D6-51991 “Quality Assurance Standard for Digital Product Definition”.
CompareVidia is an essential tool in manufacturing process based on the use of MBD (digital model base definition). It validates the translation of the authority data set into mainstream applications as CAM and CMM by detecting differences that may affect the machining quality. The translation of the authority model into Mastercam (check model) can be easily validated with an immediate Pass or Fail result. The validation details are organized and presented in the Compare Tree. Problematic entities are grouped to different categories and can be easily examined with a simple mouse click. Authority and check models are displayed in synchronized windows to simplify the investigation of the differences. The results can then be saved to a report and printed to provide a validation certificate.

 Capvidia Solution Provides Validation for Aerospace Supplier
Aero-Plastics, Inc in Renton, Washington is a leading supplier to the aerospace industry. They have been in business for over 50 years. They are a contract manufacturer specializing in CNC Machining and Injection Molding providing high quality, precision metallic and plastic components and assemblies. Their commitment to quality has lead to customer loyalty as well as numerous awards and certifications. In 2009 Aero-Plastics received the Supplier Excellence Award from Boeing and GE Aviation. When asked to meet Boeing D6-51991 compliance, Aero-Plastics chose Capvidia’s CompareVidia product for data translation validation.
CompareVidia allows aerospace suppliers to easily compare and validate their CAD models. You simply load the Authority File (3D model you received) and the Check File (3D model derivative resulting from your internal translation) and compare them. Results are immediately given as either Pass or Fail. The results can then be saved to a report and printed to provide a validation certificate.

Capvidia - one of the partner sponsors of 2010 SIMULIA Customer Conference held in May 25-27, 2010 Rhode Island Convention Center, Providence, RI, will address the problems of Onset of Levitation in Thrust Bearing: FSI Study Using Abaqus-FlowVision Coupling. The problem of lift force formation in a thrust bearing of 800-tons rotor of electric power station is studied and solved numerically. Direct coupling between finite-element system Abaqus calculating stress and strain state of an bearing parts and finite-volume system FlowVision-HPC calculating oil flow in gap between a collar and a shoe of bearing is used. The shape of the gap between the shoe and the collar, the clearance value, the moment of the friction force, and the temperature distribution of oil over the clearance are determined. |

 Capvidia has joined PDES Inc. to further extend its STEP interface implementation and contribute to projects aimed at Long Term Archival and Retrieval (LOTAR) of Digital Product and Technical Data. The LOTAR project is led by major aerospace companies such as Boeing, Airbus, and EADS.
Participation in PDES gives us an insight into industry directions and requirements for integrating with suppliers, developing strong customer relationships and participation in pilot projects with them, new business with leading companies, and insight into industry requirements for product data exchange. Based on these inputs we will extend our products to include the latest industry standards.
PDES, Inc. is a member-supported consortium accelerating the development and implementation of standards ISO 10303, commonly known as STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data) to support model-based engineering, manufacturing and sustainment. STEP provides an unambiguous, computer sensible description of the physical and functional characteristics of a product throughout its life cycle.

 Building a CAM application on an existing and widely accepted CAD product offers a lot of advantages. This is the reason why leading CAM companies such as SolidCAM and Cimtronics (CAMWorks) have chosen SolidWorks as development platform. This approach offers a lot of benefits to both developers as users.
The developers can focus on specific of CAM implementation instead of programming basic CAD functions required in their application. They simply call necessary functions using standard SolidWorks API. Users benefit from familiar user interface in one integrated environment. They can design CAD models and start CAM application to prepare 3D model for manufacturing without changing the working environment. There is no need to go to any other application to complete the work.
