It made huge sense as, while Ansys has always had its own modelling system (Design Modeler), it was showing its age and SpaceClaim offered a much more modern, all encompassing, set of tools for preparing models for simulation. So, it was with little surprise that 2013 saw Ansys acquire the company and bring it into the fold. This saw SpaceClaim added to Ansys’ price book and sold alongside its wealth of simulation specific systems. This last area has been a particular success, especially since the company linked up with simulation heavyweight, Ansys in 2009. This could be on the shopfloor for pre-processing before machining, in the sales office for big creation and quotation workflows or in the simulation office for model prep prior to meshing. Its combination of direct modelling with a wealth of data import and export options meant that the system quickly found a home in those areas where there’s a need for occasional 3D CAD use, but without the overhead of more traditional parametric and history-based modelling systems. SpaceClaim continues to add to its sheet metal and manufacturing preparation tools
