Announcing the 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite
Share:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. and SINDELFINGEN, Germany - December 6, 2006 - CoCreate Software, Inc., a leading provider of 3rd generation PLM software applications for high-tech electronics and machinery, today announced its next major release, the 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite.
The 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite is a complete product development platform that takes the complexity out of product lifecycle management (PLM). Using a lightweight approach (versus a monolithic system) CoCreate leverages customers' existing IT investments in upfront product planning and downstream manufacturing systems to create an interconnected enterprise.
CoCreate's out-of-the-box solution that complements ERP systems - rather than competes with them - is the next generation for the PLM industry, termed 3rd generation PLM.
The path to 3G PLM starts with a Dynamic Modeling based approach to 3D product development. Time to market pressures, small innovation windows, and new product alignment with rapidly evolving market demand are realities for companies in high-tech electronics and machinery. Success hinges upon rapidly iterating a product design ahead of the competition.
The 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite is tuned for companies that must adapt to unpredictable change and new requirements throughout the product development cycle. Allowing companies to rapidly learn and respond in fast-paced markets has propelled CoCreate to its leadership position as the world's #1 provider of history-free modeling.
CoCreate's elimination of waste in product development, support for 'true team design' and creation of a transparent development process, makes it the ideal platform for lean product development. As a result, companies shave weeks to months off development project schedules, while simultaneously increasing quality and creativity within design.
It's an approach to product lifecycle management CoCreate calls PLM That Makes Sense.
"CoCreate is changing the rules in the CAD and PLM industry by taking the overhead out of the PLM process," said William M. Gascoigne, CoCreate CEO. "Unprecedented deployment models, rental versus ownership licensing options, and out-of-the-box integrations with ERP systems are just some examples of our 3rd generation approach to PLM.
"We are excited to announce this next major release of CoCreate's award winning product suite," he said.
Release highlights include:
- More style. Our work in blending, tapering and surfacing never stops, so our innovative customers have even more options to explore stylized forms.
- New 3D capabilities. Simultaneously modify, stretch and position parts and assemblies to a designer's direction with new 3D modification capabilities at the core of CoCreate's Dynamic Modeling based approach.
- A new design paradigm. Dive into the heart of a design in cross-section, then create and modify 3D within sliced views.
- Cabling. The new Cabling module makes mechatronics design faster and easier to route conduits, wires, pins and connectors for customers in the high-tech electronics and machinery industries.
- Rendering. So real you want to touch it. Real-time texture map rendering and amazing photo-realistic imagery come with the new integrated rendering environment.
- Powerful (but simple to use) part comparison. Understand the differences, not just the interferences, among parts - even on models imported from suppliers or other 3D CAD systems.
- A design needs no sleep, so why not run nightly Clash Analysis reports to verify the day's work? Now you can with new Task Agents within CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager 2007, for continuous design and analysis in product development.
- More options to analyze sheet metal and thin-walled, constant thickness components. Expanded FE Analysis capabilities for thin-walled elements allow for even more analysis to be done without ever leaving the 3D design system.
- More options to share. Publish 3D designs as Adobe® PDF documents. Enrich collaboration by enabling extended teams to use Adobe PDF documents to securely and reliably communicate 3D design intent with suppliers, partners and customers.
- Rapid deployment. Bring relief to manual data management headaches in only 15 minutes with CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager & Drawing Manager 2007.
- BOM enhancements. Merge related business processes via the Bill of Materials to strengthen the relationship between development and manufacturing.
- Out-of-the-box integrations. Connect the 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite to downstream enterprise systems.
- And more ...
