Horse saddle distortion modelling in Visual Weld

Welding of structures involves complex interactions between thermal, metallurgical and mechanical phenomena leading to residual stresses and distortions, which play a major role during subsequent service of these structures. Controlling material characteristics, residual stress and keep distortion within tolerances via the computer can significantly enhance the performance, the quality of the product and the structure’s service life

States: optimize the writing and reading of sessions with States

States within IC.IDO sessions allow the user to optimize what gets written to the session when saved and what is loaded at session opening and what attributes to apply to the session during use.

IC.IDO set up Collaborative VR sessions using ICO.Cooperate

Collaborative Virtual Workspaces powered by IC.IDO.Cooperate enable multiple participants to experience in Virtual Reality collaborative assembly, operation, or service process reviews. Reviewers can be either co-located or remote participants, connecting the multiple workstations in a peer-to-peer collaborative work session.

Ergonomics - Conduct RULA evaluation using ErgonomicsRamsis

Conducting Ergonomics Analysis of pre-production human-centric processes and procedures need not require the construction of physical mock-ups or prototypes to perform, record, then review repeated performance of proposed assembly, service, or operator tasks. Instead, using completely virtual environments process engineers can conduct meaningful ergonomics reviews, swiftly, reliably, and without waiting for the availability of physical environments.
