Background of Caelum XXen Development

1. Challenge for cost reductionTools to realize the most optimized process enabling lower cost with higherquality

2. Time to market

Tools to provide the environment to bring the product to the market quicker.

3. Technology that knows mind of manufacturing

Tools to adopt the ever increasing manufacturing requirement.

Create the shape as intended without thinking operation sequences

Instantly modify the model created by other designer

Work with Team Design

Release the designers from tedious modeling operation!

2. Functional Modeling

Design intent into modeling

A brand new modeling !

Automatically create the model

in accordance with other shape or

other design intent

Flexible to respond with design

change


The new way of shape modeling!The functional modeling by Caelum XXen is a brand new

modeling method enabling to put design intent into model.

- Design intent into modeling -

1. Maintain the space

3. Maintain a shell

As a pocket feature is moved

outside of body, the wall to

maintain the pocket feature will

automatically be created.

4. Create a pocket

2. Maintain the space for a certain objective


Conventional CAD

Define a pocket

and a rib

Move the Rib

Behavior Features - Knows what is supposed to be -

Rib missing!

Rib maintained


3. Interoperability
