Unlimited 3D Design

TopSolid'Design, based on Parasolid® Kernel, gives access to powerful solid and surface modeling tools.

Design your ideas without restriction !

Chronology based design, parametric and associative
Large set of modeling features for mechanical engineers or complex shape designers
Direct Editing tools to freely modify 3D geometries
Complete and automated sheet metal design module

Fully Integrated PDM

TopSolid'Design is natively integrated with TopSolid'Pdm, providing a unique user experience.

One Application, One User Interface
Improves collaboration between sites, teams, and people.
Streamlines engineering and production processes.
Reduces the risk of design and manufacturing errors.
Manages Revisions of all types of documents (part, assembly, etc.).
Secure access to data (user's rights) and tracks all changes.
Manages Products Life Cycles.
Find documents by criteria, by references, by use cases.

Assembly Modeling

TopSolid'Design accelerates the design process of complex assemblies.

Bottom-up method: assembly by existing components
Top-down method: starting from conceptual sketches and designing in-place parts without restrictions
Large assemblies capabilities, with partial loading and simplified representations
Faster design of welded structures

Save time in case of changes. Associativity keeps up to date all documents, from conceptual sketches to final parts.

Smart Components

TopSolid'Design provides a unique set of features to define and customize smart components.

Smart Components will store and apply your Company Know-How, helping you to standardize your projects, and improve your daily productivity.

High-End parameterization engine, without programming
Unlimited fields of application: mechanical, sheetmetal, steel structures, furnitures, …
Smart Components make their own operations and features, ready to manufacture in TopSolid'Cam
Build your own Library of Components, design faster, avoid human errors

TopSolid'Design also provides Libraries of smart mechanical components, based on the following norms: ISO, AFNOR, ANSI, DIN, GB.

Simulation

TopSolid'Design provides a powerful kinematics and dynamics engine, based on rigid groups and mechanical joints. It can be applied on simple sketches for conceptual design, or on 3D assemblies for final simulation.

Animate and verify quickly your conceptual designs
Define easily articulated components
Kinematics definition is independant from the structure of the assembly, giving much more freedom for designers
Simulate Kinematics and Dynamics, detect and analyze collisions, make measurements (speed, distance, ...)
Helps you to take better decisions, faster

Documents for Manufacturing

TopSolid'Design creates all necessary production-ready documents, such as :

2D Drawings: Automatic Views and Dimensions
ISO GPS Tolerancing: on 3D model (PMI) or in 2D Drawings
Accurate Bill of Materials
- List of Parts to manufacture
- List of Parts to buy
- Automatic Indexing
Exploded Assemblies with Mounting/Dismounting steps
Extruded Bars Nesting and Cutting List

All documents are stored and managed by TopSolid'Pdm, and remain associative to the 3D Design.

Photorealistic Rendering

A complete immersion for your customers
Real-time rendering to setup the scene
Raytracing rendering to produce photorealistic images
Materials
- PBR Materials (Physically Based Rendering)
- Integration of Adobe Substance 3D Generators
Lighting
- HDR Environnements
- Spots Lights, Area Lights, Sun Light, IES Lights
Camera
- Match your Rendering Camera to a real Photo

FAQ TopSolid'Design

What is CAD short for?

CAD : Computer-Aided Design or Computer Assisted Drafting, and some people even go beyond and call it CADD or Computer Assisted Design and Drafting. CAD encompasses a range of software and modeling techniques that allow objects to be designed using a computer. This includes the creation of both 2D and 3D CAD models.

What industries is CAD used in?

CAD software is used in various industries, including aerospace, construction, engineering, manufacturing (notably the automotive industry), and the medical sector. Using CAD tools provides an excellent preview of a project or object before its actual production.

Innovations of CAD Software
