Visualize SDK

 

Application Areas

Domains and Workflows

Adaptable to a wide range of application areas and workflows, including construction, BIM, plant & process, FEA, CFD, PDM, PLM, general CAD and more.

Web-Based Applications

Visualize can be integrated into any type of web-based system, including configurators, PLM & PDM systems, viewers and markup editors. It can query the original model based on selected objects, and can be customized to interact with databases and other external systems.

Unified Multi-Format Viewers

Visualize any supported format through a single, unified workflow. Add markup and custom views, and export to VSF (Visualize Stream Format) for archival and fast retrieval.

Multi-Format Views

Combine multiple models from any supported formats into a single view, similar to capabilities provided by Autodesk® Navisworks®.

 

Performance details

Core Architecture

An optimized scene graph stores the primary model, while markup and temporary graphics are stored separately for fast redraw.

Large Models

Visualize is designed to handle large data sets efficiently. Spatial indexing, level of detail, and other optimization techniques provide fast performance.

Web Optimization

Streaming, memory limiting and other techniques provide real-time responsiveness in web-based applications.

 

Advanced Features

Collision Detection

Real-time detection of collisions between model elements.

Cutting Planes

Use multiple cutting planes to expose and inspect interior sections of a model.

Explode

Automatically create an exploded view of a model for product documentation and other purposes.

Measurement

Precisely measure distances in any model. Under development.

 

Interaction with Other File Formats

Visualize SDK provides a set of classes that store parameters used during import and export processes.

Visualize SDK supports a number of different file formats which can be found in the table below.
