The new dimension of CAD data SmartMBDTools

Benefits for Your Company

Model-Based Definition – Efficancy Meets Innovation.

SmartMBDTools is an add-on application for Creo Parametric that largely enhances the genuine CAD software with a wide range of functions in the area of Model-Based Definition (MBD).

This modular tool harmonizes and supplements already existing software solutions to enable designers to smoothly enter or switch to the world of model-based design, but also supports administrators while providing standardized content and workflows for MBD usage.

In addition to a new and powerful Context Management, the MBD infrastructure within existing models can be supplemented or updated using Check & Update functions (formerly SMARTUpdate).
Additional ‘Combined States’ can be elegantly created and changed by the designer using the new Combined State Management module.
The Annotate functions (formerly SMARTAnnotate) help with the automatic and multilingual application of textual annotations and symbols that are essential for human consumption of this information. The prepared texts are managed in a database in order to make them available to the user for selection.
Another level of automatically applied information is provided by Color Coding (formerly SMARTColor), which, in addition to coloring individual model surfaces, can also write its own parameters to the surface in order to pass on this information in a machine-readable manner.
To generate printable 2D PDFs from selected ‘Combined States’ of the 3D model, the corresponding 2D PDF Export function (formerly SMART3DExport) is available, which print selected views in a prepared drawing format.

• 

  Productive

  More precise data and a seamless digital process chain reduce errors and rework, improving product quality.

• 

  Fast

  SmartMBDTools enables faster product development by embedding all relevant information directly within the 3D model, making changes easier to track.

• 

  International

  Centralized storage and easy sharing of 3D models allow you to optimize collaboration between design, manufacturing, and suppliers globally.

• 

  Standardized

  Setting internal MBD standards within SmartMBDTools simplifies the design process for you.
