Easy to learn and use, the PRELUDE/SOLIDS computer-aided design is a comprehensive 3-D solid modeling design system intended for preliminary and conceptual design in the mechanical engineering environment. The system allows designing complex 3-D solid parts and multi-component assemblies and offers fast and easy dimensional-driven editing capabilites for 3-D solid parts. Advanced features include instantaneous hidden line removal, shaded image generation, mass property computations, and interference checking. Three-dimentional solid parts designed with PRELUDE/SOLIDS can be used as input to dedicate systems for drawing, analysis, and manufacturing preparation.
PRELUDE/SOLIDS offers wealth of geometric design capabilities. Design methodology is based on the definition of simple geometric elements (lines, circles, curves), which can be combined into contours.
