LARGE CAD MODEL CHALLENGES

Engineers are working with increasingly larger and more complex models during the design process. Working with a model of a complete airplane, for example, has always been a challenge, but model size and complexity are an ongoing concern across industries.

Even models for much smaller products may incorporate multiple, complex subassemblies, as well as metadata, material properties, and other information. And as more smart and connected products are developed, model complexity is only going to increase.

New solid-state storage options, CPUs with faster clock speeds and more powerful GPUs are just some of the hardware advances being integrated into next-generation engineering workstations to help with large-scale 3D model management and processing.
