Autodesk Alias Studiotools software is currently the most advanced in the world

Today's industrial products are becoming more and more complex in shape, with emphasis on streamliness and aesthetics. Product designers also have higher and higher requirements for CAD software. Generally, traditional CAD software has limited tools for curve and surface processing for designers, which can not meet the shape designer Need. Alias software is fundamentally different from CAD software and is located at the front end of product design. Its value lies in its high degree of freedom in form design and its efficiency. Alias software cleverly connects design with engineering, art and science, and the entire design process is seamless, integrating design, creativity, and production into a global one.

Auto Studio car design software

Used by almost all car manufacturers, Auto Studio has become the industry standard for car design and styling. Class-A surfaces can be created.

With all the features of Studio, plus:

High-end modules such as global deformation and point cloud data processing (Global Deformation, Point Cloud);

Advanced evaluation tools; Eval Viewer point cloud data processing (IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX);

Spider point cloud data processing (Windows platforms)

Reverse Engineering

In addition to typical surface design, Studio Tools can also be used for reverse engineering.

You can enter cross sections from scans or CMM data. With special tools, the section can control useful curves for surface design. With the help of deviation and curvature diagnosis, the curve can be fully controlled.

Closed digital sections are also available, greatly reducing the amount of direct styling required.

Flexible control

The characteristics of ALIAS software are firstly complicated operation and difficult to get started. The user can just focus on how to make his product perfect without having to dwell on complicated operations and programming. Modeling, image drawing and animation effects are just simple menu-driven functions. Secondly, because the image rendering tool of ALIAS can provide up to 16,000 colors, unlimited surface types and light source effects, it can generate a living body, giving people a real and natural three-dimensional feeling. If you use the ALIAS animation simulation tool, you will be brought into the four-dimensional space-time domain, so that the model created has life! Again, the sample shape or animation effect produced by ALIAS can be easily exported to film, tape, plotter or color copy in. Through the corresponding data transmission interface, the reference data of the designed product at the time of production can also be obtained. ALIAS also fully considers the specific requirements and cost restrictions of different users. ALIAS is reasonably divided into basic modules and flexible supplementary modules. Users can add supplementary modules as needed.

The hardware platform that can run ALIAS software is PERSONALIRIS visual processing workstation of American SGI Company. It uses a 32-bit RISC processor with a 20MHZ clock and a 16MIPS operating speed. Progressive scan 19 "color display resolution up to 1280 × 1024. During the design process, users can interactively and conveniently construct their products in four windows: top view, front view, side view and perspective view at the same time Shape and repair, first form the product's modeling frame, then color it according to your preferences, and finally perform optical effects processing to simulate the light and dark levels of the actual object under actual lighting. Designers only need to Within hours, a shiny new car is displayed on the screen, and you feel that the car has been shipped.

The novelty of the model is firstly reflected in the infinitely free curved surface configuration, which involves complicated mathematical calculations when the surfaces intersect, which may take some time. If you want to be more perfect, you need to perform more complex calculations such as lighting and tracking. Therefore, real-time animation simulation on the platform is only satisfactory. To see great animated simulations in real time, you need to feed them to film or tape frame by frame / frame. Nevertheless, the ergonomics are still amazing!
