VISI Modelling
What is VISI Modelling?
VISI Modelling is Hexagon’s industry-standard solid, surface, and wireframe modelling solution built on the powerful Parasolid® kernel. Recognized for its intuitive interface and dynamic design capabilities, VISI Modelling empowers users in the mould, die, and general manufacturing sectors to efficiently create, import, edit, repair, and analyze complex 3D models—seamlessly integrating solids, surfaces, and wireframes in a single flexible workspace.
Key Features
Easy-to-Learn, Intuitive Interface:
Start designing quickly with user-friendly menus, icon commands, dynamic rotation, zoom, programmable shortcuts, and extensive on-line help.
Hybrid Modelling Power:
Work freely between wireframe, solid, and surface geometry or combine all three as needed without restriction.
Industry-Standard Parasolid Kernel:
Ensures reliable, accurate modelling and broad compatibility with major CAD formats.
Solid Modelling Tools:
Includes Boolean operations (unite, subtract, extrude, revolve, sweep), cavity/intersect/hollow creation, and more for robust solid design.
Advanced Surface Modelling:
Harness surfacing tools—ruled, lofted, sweep, drape, n-sided patch, drive, tangent, draft, and more—for organic, freeform, or aerodynamic shapes.
Surface Repair and Edge Tolerance:
Heal imported models, close gaps, rebuild faces, and compare new and old surfaces to ensure geometric integrity.
Intelligent Model Deformation:
Bend, twist, stretch, and deform geometry while maintaining curvature up to G4 constraints—vital for high-gloss, aerodynamic, or sheet metal springback applications.
Powerful Mechanical Curve & Blending Tools:
Construct and edit 3D, split line, or mechanical curves; apply constant/variable radius, disc, and even elliptical blends across tangent edges or via surfaces for irregular transitions.
Kinematic Simulation:
Simulate gear, rack, and rail movements; validate mechanical interactions; check for collisions—ideal for complex mechanisms and assemblies.
Superfast Rendering & Visualization:
Fast graphical performance with dynamic sectioning, texture mapping, and real-time rendering, even for large assemblies.
Advanced Modelling and Application
VISI Modelling’s advanced direct and parametric editing lets you tackle:
- Difficult geometry healing for corrupted or incomplete imported files.
- Springback adjustments for sheet metal or formed parts.
- Aerodynamic refinement with controlled surface deformation.
- Complex blending and multi-condition transitions for consumer products, automotive parts, or tooling.
2D Drawing Generation
- Automatic 2D View Creation: Instantly generate editable 2D and isometric section views, dimensions, hole tables, and part lists from any 3D model or assembly.
- Associative Detailing: Changes in 3D geometry automatically update all related 2D documentation.
- B.O.M. and Ballooning: Easily manage and reference assembly items in your production drawings.
Seamless Integration & Manufacturing
- Unified Environment: All VISI applications (mould, die, progressive tool design) run together—maintaining data integrity and streamlining workflows from design all the way to manufacturing.
- Feature Recognition: Automatically detects drilled hole features and apertures—applies optimal drilling/milling cycles for efficient plate manufacturing.
- Machining Ready: VISI Machining generates conventional, high-speed, and 5-axis toolpaths directly from models—eliminating data loss between design and production.
CAD Import & Export Interfaces
VISI Modelling supports a broad range of file formats for import and export, ensuring seamless data exchange with customers and partners:
- Import: ACIS, CATIA, STL, IGES, STEP, VDA, Inventor, NX, JT, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Parasolid, Creo (PTC), and more.
