Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces. PolyNURBS combines the ease and simplicity
of polygonal modeling with the precision and flexibility of NURBS, allowing you to quickly create free-form solid
geometry that is smooth and continuous.
Measure dimensions, analyze curvature, check for continuity and watertightness, analyze the draft, detect undercuts,
assign tags to entities, edit and visualize streamlines as static images or animations, create design iterations on
the fly, and assign variables.
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined
dimensions. You can also insert a general annotation to label the parts of your model.
Export selected objects to a common folder used to exchange data with other Altair products. For example, you can export a die design from Inspire Studio to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Change the User Profile
Customize the tools available in the product. Choose from Full, Studio, and Stamping Die Design.
Configure the View
The following custom die design camera views are available: top, front, or right.
Part
First define the part and then adjust the draw direction to create a draw die.
Binder
Define one or more binders for the draw die. You can either assign an existing surface as a binder or create a flat from a new surface.
Addendum
Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming.
Die
Trim the binder and add a round to finalize the draw die. Create a matching die by offset.
Export to Exchange
Export selected objects to a common folder used to exchange data with other Altair products. For example, you can export a die design from Inspire Studio to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
