ICEM Surf Professional

ICEM Surf Master module focuses on global filleting, Overcrowning, Feature Design and global connections of surfaces.

With Feature Design for example, static pre-defined form changes can be applied globally to complete models in one operation, while all surface structures, connections and design features are maintained.

Thus existing designs can be quickly and easily adapted to new or modified references, for consistent design integrity and engineering data re-use.

ICEM Surf Magic module provides additional tools for surface construction, and makes global dynamic design and modelling of complex surface models possible.

Entire components or component sections, consisting of multiple surfaces can be changed dynamically as a unit. Surfaces may also be re-fitted or projected onto reference data.

Rendering module provides an advanced set of rendering tools that allow the designer to generate a photo-realistic representation of the CAD model.

Often used for live presentations and design reviews, designers can dynamically rotate the model, apply effects such as textures, transparency, shadows and reflections, set lighting conditions that can control the ambient occlusion, lens flares and HDR lights within a user defined environment while continuing to maintain the photo-realistic representation.

ICEM Surf Scan Modelling allows users to efficiently handle dense, ordered, or random point clouds generated by automatic laser and photo digitizers.

Tools are provided to enable the designer to directly, locally, or globally, model point clouds or facet data. Additional tools associated to the process of Quick Surfacing are provided when users need to create surfaces, very quickly, from point clouds, curves or facet data.

User defined sections and/or curves, together with a facet model are used to initial quick surface creation. Surfaces generated automatically by Quick Surfacing can be used downstream with software packages that cannot support facets or do not need Class-A finished surfaces (for example, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), tooling or packaging analysis, and the like).

ICEM Surf Advanced Tools provides extensive tools to create Accelerated Surfaces and to create (with the tube function) and diagnose car body gaps.

The levelling analysis function enables to check the homogeneity of a surface area compared to a reference area. Another diagnosis function allows checking for unwanted flat areas in a surface model.

An additional function called “nominal actual value comparison” checks for the deviation of e.g. a surface to scan data. The helix function allows the construction of movable automotive side window glasses.

ICEM Surf Safety Analysis was developed primarily for safety studies in the automotive industry, but has many other applications where humans need to operate in a man-made environment.

It provides digital tools, which can detect edges and corners on a 3D model that may cause injuries. It subsequently analyses and highlights the radii in those zones, which are defined as dangerous, based on the specified industry-standard safety criteria.
