VISI Analysis

VISI Analysis provides a suite of dedicated tools for the analysis, validation and preparation of model geometry. When working with imported data, the quality of the model is an important consideration and can have a dramatic effect on the project success. Finding potential problems at an early stage within the project life cycle will greatly simplify the task of the designer and generate huge time and cost savings further downstream for both tool design & manufacture.

Model Comparison

Important for when you receive model revisions, this module allows you to make a comparison between two solid models or surface sets and graphically present the design changes and common zones.

Model Curvature

This module allows you to define both the curvature and the curvature radius of surface and solid models. Ideal for validating minimum & maximum radii.

Draft Analysis

A very important application for the moulding industry. This tool allows you to define multiple draft scenarios and graphically visualise the matching conditions providing a better understanding of the part mouldability.

Model Thickness

Another very important application for the moulding industry. This tool graphically displays the model thickness providing valuable information for potential gating positions, rib criteria and cooling channel locations.

Smooth Edges / Simplify Edges

These tools allow you to validate and improve model data, especially imported geometry. Smooth Edges provides a visual check of model tangency conditions. Simplify Edges is an advanced tool to validate and update polyline edge conditions.

Model Splitting - core & cavity

What can typically be a time consuming and complex task, VISI provides a number of applications for model splitting, split line creation, shut off surfaces and core & cavity construction.

Bend Relief

An application developed for the automotive tooling industry. This powerful tool allows the user to select complex fillet radii (that maybe causing tearing or creasing conditions) and automatically reconstruct the fillet conditions with new values and linear tangent extensions.

Detect Redundant Bodies

When working with imported data, construction data or duplicate surface information is often present within the dataset. This application automatically detects redundant bodies and moves the data to user-defined layers.

Detect Small & Sliver Faces

Model quality is an important consideration for design & manufacture. Miniature sliver faces are often the result of multiple boolean operations and can be problematic. This tool automatically detects sliver faces and presents the user with multiple choices for removal.

Detect Seed Faces

Seed faces is a tool that allows you to extract faces from a model based on tangency conditions. Ideal for core & cavity separation and for core box extraction for 'lost-wax' and die castings.

Repair Invalid Faces

This tool automatically attempts to try and repair invalid bodies. There are multiple reasons why a body can be corrupt and this tool identifies and tries to automatically fix and repair the probloem zones (re-trimming, face reconstruction etc).

Body Memory Diagnostics

This powerful application is a toolbox to manage the memory allocation applied to individual surfaces or solid bodies. If data appears to be larger than expected, this could be due to redundant attributes. This toolbox provides options to clean the geometry and remove unecessary clutter.

Check Solids Interference

This tool allows you to check geometry for touching or interfering conditions. The results can be graphically displayed for each condition type and intersecting wireframe geometry automatically constructed.

Tip Data

This tool allows you to select a target and reference origin and automatically obtain the relevant translation and rotation values to move from one position to another. The results can be output to a text file and is particularly useful when working with data in 'car-line'.
