Software for Excellent Data Management in Mechanical Engineering.

Understand CAD data. Identify costs earlier. Work more efficiently.

LOGO-simus-connect

simus connect makes CAD and master data accessible, enabling greater transparency, more accurate cost estimates, and better-prepared follow-up processes in design, production planning, purchasing, and sales.

Flexibly scalable as a cloud solution.

Greater efficiency in development, cost estimation, and production planning.

Perfekter Überblick über Bauteile und CAD-Modelle

1. A complete overview of all available CAD models

Control product development based on clearly presented classified CAD data that is up-to-date at any time. The automated geometric classification and indexing of 3D CAD models for similarity searches is integrated in the existing CAD software. simus connect automatically fills the class-specific characteristic bars with the determined values and creates 2D and 3D preview formats.

Transparenz bei den Fertigungskosten

2. Transparency regarding manufacturing costs at a very early stage

Receive insight into the deciding cost drivers early on in the product development process. Take countermeasures in time and secure a cost saving production.

Durchblick bei der Arbeitsvorbereitung

3. Up to 50% less effort required for production planning

In order to prepare the production process in the best way, simus connect can be used as an effective tool for precalculation and work scheduling. The routing is  determined automatically from CAD data. By using data from the native CAD model, transfer errors are prevented and base data is always up-to-date.

Which benefits does the CLOUD-based software solution provide?

Using the cloud-based software solutions, you benefit from a significant ease in handling – along with the complete functionality of our software module, of course. Depending on the customer’s wishes and the given task, hybrid models are also an option, i.e. a local software installation will be combined with CLOUD software solutions.

cost calculation with classmate PLAN

Calculate manufacturing costs from the 3D model

Cost calculation at design stage.

classmate PLAN analyzes a part or an assembly based on the CAD model and the available manufacturing technologies. Based on the analyzed geometry, the software determines which work processes are required and their order and which costs are associated. Raw material prices and other relevant factors for purchasing can be retrieved from the master data system and used for calculation.

simus PLAN and PLAN connect are identical in terms of their functionality. They differ in implementation of the IT infrastructure.

Automatische Klassifikation von CAD-Modellen

Classify 3D CAD models automatically

Your designers will love it!

The patented solution classmate CAD analyzes 3D CAD models automatically by form elements, e.g. outer or inner contours, holes, hole patterns, chamfers, curves, and notches. The software fills the class-specific characteristic bars with the retrieved values and creates 2D and 3D preview formats for visualization purposes. Your 3D CAD models can be found again way easier and you can use existing models faster and more securely for new tasks. You save a lot of time and work in design, not to mention the unnecessary duplicates that will NOT be created.
