Watch Blake, the co-founder of SpaceClaim, explain in detail how he created the transaxle demo. Good detail of working on the 3D models in cross-section mode (very cool), and how he imported an SKF bearing (Pro/E model) and modified it.
Very cool. Watch all 5 of these to see it in its entirety.
More inside skinny from Blake about how he built the transaxle demo. Some more good x-section modifications, and the history behind the nose cone modifications.
A good use of SpaceClaim is for making modifications to parametric feature based models, when those changes would fail regeneration in the original CAD system. This sometimes happens with complex models, or when changes take a model in a new, unanticipated design direction.
This video shows modifications to a transaxle from a 1978 VW Beetle, that was designed using Solidworks. We use SpaceClaim to make the changes to the nosecone to match the transaxle housing.
This is a really cool video. We extract the void volume from an assembly and then make some modifications to it so it can be sent to a CFD analysis package.
Also this is a useful technique to design reservoir bottles, etc. that need to contain a precise volume of fluid.
This is a very brief demo of SpaceClaim, showing basically a block and a few holes. For those of us who grew up with parametric feature based modeling, SpaceClaim's approach feels liberating.
This video shows how we use SpaceClaim to simplify an engine block casting before sending to the casting house to hide or protect the intellectual property (IP) of the OEM. Sometimes this is required when a supplier works with many OEMs in an industry.
