Advanced 3D Solutions

Anark Corporation

Anark Core Workstation

Quickly and easily convert 3D product design data for use throughout design, engineering, and support organizations.

Produce Use-Case Specific CAD Models For:

• OEM-Supplier Data Exchange: Remove sensitive features and perform basic CAD file translation for form, fit, and function testing.
• CAE / Analysis and Simulation: Heal sliver faces, repair model tolerances, produce outer mold lines (OML's), and remove unnecessary parts and features.
• Product Visualization: Produce mesh models suitable for design review or product renderings.
• Technical Illustration: Create lightweight product geometry suitable for technical illustration.

Automatically Prepare 3D CAD Data

Anark Core dramatically reduces tedious and repetitive conversion and preparation tasks by recording all feature-suppression, part removal, and translation actions performed on the CAD assembly.

Unlike conventional CAD tools and translators, Anark Core enables users to automate the process of modifying 3D product geometry and exporting model data into various high-precision B-rep and lightweight mesh formats. The system creates recipes that can be re-applied automatically to revised product design data, saving countless hours of expensive and labor-intensive repetition.

Anark's approach to developing a suite of tools with the appropriate level of automation and sophistication makes it dramatically easier for manufacturers to leverage their 3D assets for a variety of communication and collaboration applications.

New Features in Anark Core 2.0

• Simple, drag-and-drop editing of product structure to facilitate the creation of multiple product representations from original assembly data—such as vendor specific BOMs, or visualization and simulation-ready hierarchies
• Automatically replace thousands of rivets, screws, or other parts with lower-detail geometry
• Quickly and easily remove B-rep face geometry to produce inner- and outer-mold-line representations for visualization, simulation, and OEM-supplier data exchange
• New Core CAD Transformer Service enables PDM servers to fully automate Anark Core Server for change-list-driven transformation of CAD geometry
• Rename instances and components
• Import and convert visualization assemblies and geometry from CATIA® V5 CATPRODUCT, CATPART, and CGR files into multiple lightweight mesh formats
• Import and convert assemblies and B-rep geometry from SolidWorks® and Inventor® formats
• Import and export B-rep geometry in ACIS® SAT format
