XVL Studio Standard

XVL Studio Standard provides all the necessary enhancement functions for 3D publishing and downstream use of XVL data, including all the capabilities of XVL Studio Basic plus animation with keyframes and process definitions.

This application is ideal for adding animation and creative graphics to the 3D publishing process.

All Studio products are available with optional upgrades for enhanced functionality including Point Cloud data import, STEP and other polygon format import, technical illustration, and more

Add dimensions/annotations/animations to 3D data.

Key Benefits

• Improve communication with advanced 3D publishing by creating 3D technical animation sequences and procedures for assembly instructions, manufacturing, training, IETMs, digital manuals, and more.
• Drive innovation and collaboration with productivity boosting process planning, multiple views, and saved snapshot capabilities.
• 'Practical' lifecycle management - use XVL Studio Standard for advanced design and manufacturing review with digital mock-up.
• Solve the multi-CAD problem - assemble models from different CAD systems to automatically create new XVL files.
• Additional optional modules for Technical Illustration, direct import of CATIA V4 and Parasolid files, and Point Cloud Evaluation.

Features	Benefits	Basic	Standard	Pro
Full featured viewing: Zoom, pan, rotate, measurement, annotation, texture mapping.	Full control for displaying parts, assemblies, and animation.
Re-tessellation on zoom-in.	See precise detail accurately even when zoomed-in on small parts.
Assemble parts from multiple CAD systems or files after conversion to XVL of direct import of IGES and Polygon formats.	Solves the multiple sources from different CAD systems problem.
Assembly Structure Edit: Display and edit assembly structures; flexible re- naming, regrouping, or editing of properties.	Used, for example, in matching CAD and BOM data.
Animation Definition: Define full anima-tion, and assembly/disassembly animations with multiple camera views, keyframe editing, and automated/semi-automated process animation.	Create interactive animations for assembly/disassembly instructions, maintenance instructions, on-line demos, and more.
Process Structure Edit: Display and edit process tree; flexible re- naming, regrouping, or editing of properties.	Define steps for assembly / disassembly animations.
Advanced viewing with multiple windows and snapshots.	Display multiple views simultaneously and save views for future reference and communication.
Snap In Assembly of parts or sub-assemblies.	Assemble parts easily using existing geometry.
Static and Dynamic interference checking and clearance analysis including individual parts or whole assemblies.	Evaluate designs and assembly processes taking into account interference from other parts.
Output interference and clearance results to spreadsheets and other formats.	Share results with others using standard Microsoft Office tools.
Automatically create and save 2D profiles that update in real time.	Create intersection profiles for clarity and resolution of complex design issues and save to design review reports.
Offset surfaces to modify existing geometry to increase or shrink parts.	Iterate designs for advanced interference and clearance checking and simulation of design changes.
Sophisticated cross section control: Track cross section along any edge. Output cross sections as IGES or DXF.	Enhanced inquiry of details and inspection of digital mock-ups.

Options	Benefits
Technical Illustration	Create technical illustrations automatically and export illustration files. Support for line types and formats.
Point Cloud Evaluation	Supports data input from 3D Scanners. Overlay original data and scanned data for display or edit the color map to indicate differences between data sets.
Difference	Rapidly compare different versions of the same design data and assemblies
CATIA V4 / Parasolid Import	Direct import of CATIA V4 and Parasolid models.
U3D	Direct import / export of U3D models.
STEP	Direct import /export of STEP models.
List Edit	(For Studio Basic only) Expands the functions of Studio Basic to allow editing of all lists (Parts, assemblies etc)
