TopSolid 7 claims 30% productivity gain

TopSolid 7, the 7th generation of its integrated software range TopSolid. TopSolid 7 offers huge innovations on the CADCAM market by simplifying the design and modification of large assemblies in an organised and structured environment. The CAM module of TopSolid 7 will be completed in 2010.

Productivity gains of 30% are claimed, versus traditional solutions. TopSolid 7 integrates everything together in a single software solution with its full CAD/CAM/FEA/PDM/ERP, which allows engineering and production departments to easily communicate and work together in an entirely controlled and secure environment. This eliminates the risk of potential errors: design and machining data are compatible and are managed and monitored transparently. TopSolid 7 has been entirely re-thought and rewritten, both in terms of software technology and methodology. Thanks to the multicore technology used, the virtual design of assemblies made up of several thousand parts is now possible with good response times. TopSolid version 6 will continue to be developed and supported over the coming years, for while the migration and compatibility between the 2 generations of TopSolid is guaranteed, TopSolid 7 does not yet offer the industry solutions (wood, mould, sheetmetal ...) or CAM capabilities of its predecessor.
