PreCAD software helps define model geometry

    Oct. 12, 2006
    GrafiCalc AT 2007 predictiveengineering software combines sketching, calculations, analysis, and optimization capabilities.

    The software assists engineers with decision making in the premodeling and premanufacturing stages of product development. It lets users make requirements final, evaluate concepts, optimize

    geometry, and choose efficient manufacturing methods. Features include an easy-to-learn interface, complete functionmodeling tools, and backsolving of geometry to meet performance goals. The software also performs tolerance analyses and mechanism-behavior simulation and analyses.
