iLogic is nu van Autodesk

Autodesk kondigde aan dat de definitieve overeenkomst voor de overname van de iLogic software en daaraan gerelateerde technologie uit Canada-based Logimetrix rond is.
iLogic technologie maakt het gemakkelijk voor ontwerpers en technici taken te automatiseren, gemeenschappelijk ontwerp door het creëren van "slimme delen" dat kan insluiten hogere niveaus van intelligentie design rechtstreeks in Autodesk Inventor een digitaal prototype, dit alles zonder noodzaak van extra programmering en kennis:

“The acquisition of iLogic technology will extend rules-based design and automation capabilities to the desktop, opening doors to new and enhanced workflows for users that are unrivaled in the manufacturing industry,” said Robert “Buzz” Kross, senior vice president of Autodesk Manufacturing Solutions. “Individual engineers and workgroups will have the ability to more easily capture design intent directly into digital prototypes and create digital prototypes through automation without requiring any programming.

iLogic Highlights:

• Uses the power of Autodesk Inventor™ to capture initial parametric design intent. iLogic™ is used to define the product behaviors, using logimetric rules, that result from changing the design input values.
• Provides easy access to powerful design automation functions through a simple, user-friendly interface designed for users with little or no programming experience.
• Lets users add knowledge to existing designs with full support for iparts and iassemblies. Rules can be added to any Inventor™ part or assembly model transforming it into a reusable knowledge asset.
• Extends Inventor’s™ parameter types to include Boolean, string and multi-value lists.
• Defines product behavior based on true or false input or property values, such as Material type, Mass or even custom properties.
• Allows design and engineering knowledge to be defined and stored as iLogic™ Rule objects that are embedded directly into the models. With iLogic there are no new documents to manage!
• Introduces a new way of capturing design intent that goes far beyond what can be achieved with only parametric design capability. Capture design Intent with Parametrics. Capture design Intelligence with Logimetrics.
