Overview

VISI Analysis is a comprehensive software solution developed by Hexagon to streamline the validation and preparation of model geometry in the mould and die industry. By identifying potential issues early in the design process, it significantly reduces time and enhances design efficiency. The software offers a suite of tools that automate various aspects of model analysis, ensuring high-quality outputs and facilitating seamless integration into the design workflow.

Features and Capabilities

• Automatic Recognition of Design Changes: Efficiently detects and highlights modifications between different model versions, ensuring that all design alterations are promptly identified.
• Model Curvature and Radii Checking: Assesses the curvature and radii of models to ensure they meet specified design criteria, preventing potential manufacturing issues.
• Thickness Analysis: Evaluates the uniformity of material thickness throughout the model, identifying areas that may be prone to weaknesses or defects.
• Dynamic Face Analysis: Analyzes the faces of the model dynamically, providing insights into areas that may require design adjustments.
• Draft Angle Visualization: Visualizes draft angles to ensure that parts can be easily ejected from moulds, reducing the risk of damage during the manufacturing process.
• Core and Cavity Model Separation: Facilitates the separation of core and cavity models, streamlining the mould design process.
• Controllable Surface Edge Simplification: Allows for the simplification of complex surface edges, making the model more suitable for manufacturing processes.
• Multiple Split Line Calculations: Performs calculations for multiple split lines, aiding in the efficient design of moulds.
• Dynamic Parting Face Creation: Enables the creation of parting faces dynamically, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of the mould design process.
• Model Validation and Geometry Cleaning: Validates models and cleans up geometry to ensure that the design is free from errors and ready for manufacturing.
• Redundant Data and Sliver Face Detection: Identifies and removes redundant data and sliver faces, improving the quality and manufacturability of the model.
• Tolerance Control for Surface Edges: Manages tolerances for surface edges, ensuring that the model meets the required specifications.
• Animated Mould Opening Sequence: Provides an animated sequence of the mould opening, allowing for the visualization of the parting process and identification of potential issues.
