SpaceClaim 2009+ streamlines interaction with graphical radial buttons that speed selection and direct modeling. Engineers are sure to benefit from enhanced round creation, surface modification, sweeps and patterning which helps drive faster concept design. New tools also enhance CAE workflow by checking geometry, finding clearances between components, and expediting round removal; and a new dedicated group for
"beams" enables CAE engineers to create and extract beams to be used during the analysis process.
True multitouch workflows with up to four fingers, designed to be use by both hands simultaneously • Simultaneous mouse and touch support, for precise multitouch modeling • Multitouch view rotation • Four finger box select • Radial menus for selection • Lasso and Paint selection tools • Selection Assistant for complex selection with fingers • Multitouch gesture support including new gestures • Windows 7 Support
