3D_Analyzer
3D CAD Viewer to review and analyze models from all major native and standard CAD formats with assemblies-structure, B-rep, tesselation, features and parameter as well as metadata, PMI and annotations. Precise measuring, cut and annotation functions based on B-REP Models. Fast Creation of exploded views with automatic and manual functions. 3D_Analyzer is the perfect tool for project management tasks. It is not only a Viewer for all major CAD formats, it also provides a wide range of easy to use and powerful 3D inspection computations such as comparison of geometry, PMI and assembly-structure, collision and clearance detection as well as wall thickness, draft and undercut analysis. Share your files, you can easily export the CAD files to the 3D-PDF format. Additionally you can also save the analysis results to 3D-PDF and exchange it with your colleagues, suppliers or customers.

DFMPro
DFMPro is a design-for-manufacturability software suite that integrates into major CAD environments (e.g., Creo Parametric, SOLIDWORKS, NX, CATIA V5) and helps engineers detect and resolve manufacturability issues early in the design process. It applies real-time design checks and recommendations for manufacturing, assembly, geometry, and cost, thus reducing rework and optimizing tolerances before parts reach production. The tool also includes a cost add-on module that continuously estimates expenses as designs evolve, evaluating materials, features, geometry, and manufacturing regions, and offers suggestions for cost reduction, standardization, and component reuse. DFMPro supports multiple manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, casting, sheet metal, assembly) and industries (automotive, aerospace, medical devices, high-tech electronics).

Altair SimSolid
By performing structural analyses on fully featured CAD assemblies within minutes, SimSolid is the game-changing simulation technology for designers, engineers, and analysts. It eliminates geometry preparation and meshing: the two most time-consuming, expertise-extensive and error-prone tasks performed in a conventional structural simulation.
Multiple design scenarios can be simulated quickly under real-life conditions. Early CAD models, in any common format, can be used. SimSolid tolerance of imprecise geometry means that, unlike CAD-embedded simulation tools, there is no need to simplify complex geometries before analyzing designs.
SimSolid supports all typical connections (bolt/nut, bonded, welds, rivets, sliding) and analysis of linear static, modal, thermal properties, along with more complex coupled, nonlinear, transient dynamic effects.
