UGS NX-based product development solution, powered by ATI FireGL Graphics accelerators, cuts CNC programming time by more than half.
 |
Wichita has saved a significant
amount of time by using UGS NX and ATI FireGL graphic
accelerators. They have assemblies
of up to 1,000 parts on the screen live being
rotated to reveal the interactions between all
the the parts. This meant many of the
times reaching the end of the ability of graphic
performance with the current graphic accelerators. During
the evaluation process, Whichita discovered
that ATI FireGL cards were UGS PLM Software-certified
and opted to use them in the new workstations. "With
the ATI FireGL cards, the models move really smoothly
even fully shaded and we have not been able
to slow them down, even on the most complex
assemblies." Ian Hakon, Technical Director. |

Architectural Designs come to life with ATI's
Advanced Visualization and Graphics Technology
 |
Given the complexity of architectural projects
today, to be competitive architects must be able to realistically
show the proposed buildings to their clients, even before
construction begins. Architects have traditionally relied
on two-dimensional drawings to illustrate their designs but
as visualization and imaging technology has evolved, designers
are replacing simple pencil illustrations with stunning 3D
renderings and real-time walkthroughs to give clients an
unprecedented glimpse into the future. |
