![]() Gehry Tech., simply attempted to bring some of that power to Architectural design and CAD, but since DP is built on CATIA it remains largely inaccessible to most architects due to cost. It's considerably tested and proven technology which has been refined continually over the lat 30 years in a wide range of fields from Aeronautical design, to Nautical and Automotive design and even product design. While the underlying technologies between the 2 engines (DP runs on top of a CATIA engine, which is hands down the most powerful parametric modeling CAD software on the planet), may differ in certain respects, the broad principles by which they work are similar enough so that this seems to be the trend that most developers of modeling kernels are tending towards. If you really want to know what the potential benefits of an engine with this kind of modeling power and robustness in an Architectural or AEC context, look no further than Gehry Technologies' Digital Project software. How is NNA going to re-educate its sizeable user base to make the jump with them? Some of these questions need to be included in the road map in order that it actual be a road map. So how might its power be harnessed and integrated with an equally powerful documentation engine? Will VW's documentation capabilities be beefed up to take advantage of all that raw power under the hood? ![]() So now we have all this modeling power under the hood. What could D-Cubed do for A/E/C software. Sounds to me like it would be just another geometry engine inside an aspiring BIM application unless the parametrics engine is attached to it. In this article Sarkar refers to Siemens parametrics engine D-Cubed. ![]() Thanks to a private message (I haven't idea why it was private - it could have been shared with us all), I was directed to an interview with a NNA Product Engineer who answered some questions for Anthony Fausto-Robledo's Architosh blog. The original question was a query to the readers of this form about the significance of NNA's licensing of Siemens' Parasolid Engine. ![]()
