VISI Analysis
What is VISI Analysis?
VISI Analysis is HEXAGON’s essential toolkit for early validation and meticulous preparation of 3D model geometry—empowering mould, die, and toolmaking professionals to identify and resolve potential issues before they impact downstream projects. By detecting and addressing design errors at the outset, VISI Analysis brings unrivaled efficiency and quality to tool design and manufacturing workflows.
Key Features
Automatic Design Change Recognition:
Instantly compare two models, solid or surface, to spot, highlight, and analyze even the smallest design modifications—accelerating design updates and revision control.
Model Curvature & Radii Checking:
Visualize minimum and maximum radii and curvature across your model to ensure manufacturability and pinpoint problem zones.
Thickness Analysis:
Graphically display part thickness for gating, rib, and cooling channel feasibility, ensuring robust moulding and tool performance.
Dynamic Face & Surface Analysis:
Get real-time information on faces as you hover over the model—quickly check draft conditions, fillet radii, or trimming loops without slowing down.
Draft Angle Visualization:
Validate mould feasibility instantly with user-defined color-zoned draft analysis for fast identification of problematic areas.
Core & Cavity Model Separation:
Leverage advanced tools to graphically split models into core, cavity, side moving zones, and undercuts, accelerated by intuitive animation of mould opening sequences.
Controllable Surface Edge Simplification:
Clean and optimize imported surface data by simplifying or correcting edge tolerances for better downstream performance.
Multiple Split Line Calculations:
Use automated routines to determine optimal split lines for parting geometry, with manual control for customization.
Dynamic Parting Face Creation:
Rapidly generate intricate parting and shut-off faces for even the most complex moulds, using a split plane and surfacing toolkit.
Model Validation & Cleaning:
Detect and address redundant geometry, sliver faces, and corrupt topology to guarantee data integrity and error-free manufacturing.
Tolerance Control for Surface Edges:
Precisely manage and refine edge tolerances where tight fit and assembly conditions are required.
Animated Mould Opening:
Visualize and document the real-world operation and sequencing of complex tools, including slides and lifters, with exportable animation.
Workflow Benefits
- Find and Fix Early: By validating geometry at the start, you save huge amounts of time and cost throughout design and manufacturing.
- Improve Mould Feasibility: Use draft and thickness checks to quickly approve or redesign components for manufacturability.
- Accelerate Design Changes: Easily incorporate and review client revisions or last-minute engineering updates with automatic difference detection.
- Simplify Core/Cavity Separation: Graphically and interactively split parts for rapid tool engineering and automated documentation.
- Ensure Clean Geometry: Advanced data cleaning and validation routines help avoid costly rework or downstream machining errors.
