Geomagic Qualify 11 makes 'what-if' easier

Geomagic Qualify takes advantage of digital shape sampling and processing (DSSP) to enable fast, easy-to-understand graphical comparisons between CAD models and as-built parts. With Automation Designer in Geomagic Qualify 11, users can define multiple reference models and inspections in a single file. This makes it easy to switch between different as-designed models and inspection routines to visualize "what-if" scenarios and to experiment with different nominal geometry. Using the new Migrate Automation Wizard, existing inspection processes can be easily transferred between reference models for re-use when part designs change. Users simply load the new part and transfer their inspection steps, then Migrate Automation Wizard guides them in resolving areas of the inspection process that need further attention. Geomagic Qualify 11 also includes options for constructing new features that enable users to simulate tab and slot alignment and define midpoints. With version 11, Geomagic Qualify and Studio are built from the same core technology, ensuring consistency among shared functions and file compatibility between the two applications.
