IronCAD Mechanical V. 2025.02

Geometry Equality Checker

A Geometry Equality checker has been implemented inside this latest version. This new infrastructure makes it possible to analyze parts in the scene in order to detect if two elements are equal.

Related to this new functionality, there is a new tool, placed in the ICM Tools catalog, and a new BOM option in IPROActiveManager. These tools speed up the verification and codification process, overall, in the case of imported Brep geometries. Anyway, due to the analysis of the geometries, the use of these new tools on big assemblies can require some time for the full elaboration.

Search by Geometry Equality

This new tool, searchs all parts that are geometrically equal, to a selected reference part. The reference part could be selected interactivelly, or dropping the tool on the required part. The list of found elements reports User Name, PartNumber, Description and Material Name. Furthermore, the status bar reports the number of equal parts found.

ProActiveManager Settings - Count by Geometry Equality

This new option allows the customer to create a BOM where the parts will be grouped and counted by Geometrical Equality. When the user set this option, the elements in the BOM will not be count-ed using the “Count by” fields defined in BOMConfig. Anyway, the BOMConfig will be still used to define all the fields and the layout of the BOM

ProActiveParts

Added option useful to define a color to be applied to the element associated with each record. In this way every row of parameters/data defined in the grid can have a different color.

Face to DXF-Export Unfolded Part & Settings

Added options to file name definition. Now it’s possible to define also Material, Material Code and Thickness. These values will be used if the selected part is a sheet metal part, and in case the re-quired property is not empty.

ProActiveManager & Count Elements

These tools has been improved and now, the structure of the treeview contains also the main nodes for Pipes and Flanges and a main node for Structured Parts. This allow to have, at a first glance, the organization of the elements in the scene.

Also, the CountElements command shows the total number of parts found in the status bar.

Remove Transparency

Added new tool to remove transparency to parts in the scene.

General

A lot of improvements have been made inside the code order to ensure the reliability and the speed of the application. Furthermore, several new settings have been added to the tools in order to meet the requests of the customers.
