SpaceClaim’s API was introduced in the last few releases and updated with each revision.Īs a result, we’ve seen a lot of announcements from organisations partnering up with SpaceClaim. It also means that the company is highly active in other areas, such as API development.įor those unfamiliar with the term, the API (or Application Programming Interface) is the underlying code-stream that opens up the features and functions of the system for third party developers. With SpaceClaim there are two releases per year, as was the case with the more mature systems in their nascent days. This means that its development has been much more quickly paced. In comparison with most other CAD tools, many of which are over 10 or even 20 years old, it’s also a very new. One simple selection is all that’s needed to move the location of the holes radially, along with each instance of bolt For best results, it is suggested that you make edits to the resulting solid structure.This imported assembly contains a hole pattern with bolts. Solidworks (a feature-based modeling style), SpaceClaim offers significant advantages in terms of speed and ease of use, and can manipulate any geometry regardless of the original file type- including STL files! However, unlike Solidworks, SpaceClaim does not have a feature history, which means that you cannot edit the previous sketches or features later on in design. SpaceClaim uses a direct modelling style, where file manipulation is quicker and easier than feature-based software. There have been 11 versions of SpaceClaim software since 2007, with the most recent being “ANSYS SpaceClaim 2015” which was released in November of 2014. Designed for mechanical engineering, SpaceClaim and utilizes direct modeling to generate models with four primary tools: pull, move, fill, and combine. SpaceClaim was first released in 2007 as “SpaceClaim 2007 Professional” with the intention to improve the CAD process by making geometry manipulation faster, easier, and more intuitive for the user.
